DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 2867A features the
high efficiency 42V, 120mA synchronous step-down
regulator in 12-Lead 2mm × 2mm LQFN package. The
demo board is designed for 120mA at 5V output from
a 5.8V to 42V input, with the switching frequency pro-
grammed at 2MHz. The wide input range allows a variety
of input sources, such as automotive batteries and indus-
trial supplies.
The LT8604C is a compact high efficiency, and high fre-
quency synchronous monolithic step-down switching
regulator, with soft-start capacitor, compensation net-
work, BST and INTV
capacitors, all packed into a 2mm
CC
by 2mm package.
The switching frequency can be programmed via an oscil-
lator resistor over a wide range from 200kHz to 2.2MHz,
or sync to external clock through SYNC/MODE pin. Peak
current mode control with minimum on-time of as small
as 35ns allows high step-down conversion even at high
frequency.
The operation mode can be configured via the SYNC/
MODE pin for forced continuous mode, Burst Mode
operation, or spread spectrum mode. While in Burst Mode

operation, the current limit of the LT8604C top switch is
®
approximately 215mA. The switching frequency will be
far lower than the RT programmed frequency, and corre-
spondingly much higher efficiency over wide loads ranges.
The low quiescent current and high efficiency in Burst
Mode make it an ideal solution for applications requiring
highest efficiency at very light load conditions, such as
automotive housekeeping supplies, industrial sensors,
flow meters, Internet of Things, and battery powered por-
table instruments.
The demo board 2867A has an EMI filter installed. The
EMI performance of the board running in SSFM mode is
shown in Figure 2, where the red lines are CISPR25 Class
5 average limits. The circuit passes the average limit with
a wide margin.
The LT8604/LT8604C data sheet gives a complete
description of the part, operation, and application infor-
mation. The data sheet must be read in conjunction with
this demo manual. Contact ADI applications engineer for
