DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 2407A is a dual channel 42V, 4A
synchronous step-down Silent Switcher
escent current featuring the LT8650S. The LT8650S is the
second-generation Silent Switcher that minimizes EMI
and reduces PCB layout sensitivity. The demonstration
circuit has two outputs: 5V and 3.3V. Each output can
source up to 4A continuous current at the same time.
Figure 1 shows the conducted EMI measurements from
150kHz to 30MHz. Figure 2 shows the radiated EMI mea-
surements from 30MHz to 1GHz. All measurements were
tested per CISPR 25 specifications. The circuit passes the
tests with wide margins.
The SYNC pin on the demo board is grounded by default
for low ripple Burst Mode

trum mode.
The demonstration circuit 2407A runs at 2MHz to mini-
mize solution size. The efficiency is 92%. The IC tempera-
ture rise is less than 50°C when both channels run at full
load, 4A each, at 2MHz.
The LT8650S data sheet gives a complete description of
the part, operation and application information. The data
sheet must be read in conjunction with this quick start
guide for demo circuit 2407A.
