DESCRIPTION

LT8645S

65V, 8A Micropower Synchronous

Step-Down Silent Switcher 2

Demonstration circuit 2468A is a 65V, 8A micropower syn-

chronous step-down second generation Silent Switcher

with spread spectrum frequency modulation featuring the

LT8645S. The demo board is designed for 5V output from

a 5.6V to 65V input. The wide input range allows a variety

of input sources, such as automotive batteries and indus-

trial supplies. The LT8645S is a compact, ultralow emis-

sion, high efficiency, and high speed synchronous mono-

lithic step-down switching regulator. The integrated bypass

capacitors optimize all the fast current loops and make it

easier to minimize EMI/EMC emissions by reducing layout

sensitivity. Selectable spread spectrum mode can further

improve EMI/EMC performance. Ultralow quiescent cur-

rent in Burst Mode

operation achieves high efficiency at

very light loads. Fast minimum on-time of 40ns enables

high VIN to low VOUT conversion at high frequency.

The LT8645S switching frequency can be programmed

either via oscillator resistor or external clock over a

200kHz to 2.2MHz range. The default frequency of demo

circuit 2468A is 2MHz. The SYNC pin on the demo board

is grounded (JP1 at BURST position) by default for low

ripple Burst Mode operation. To synchronize to an external

clock, move JP1 to SYNC and apply the external clock

to the SYNC terminal. Spread spectrum mode and pulse

skipping mode can be selected respectively by moving

JP1 shunt. Figure 1 shows the efficiency of the circuit at

12V input and 24V input in Burst Mode operation (input

from VIN terminal to bypass the EMI filter). Figure 2 shows

the LT8645S temperature rising on DC2468A demo board

under different load conditions. The rated maximum load

current is 8A, while derating is necessary for certain input

voltage and thermal conditions. Low switching frequency

can extend the output load capability by reducing the

power dissipations. Figure 3 shows the temperature ris-

ing at 500kHz switching frequency.

The demo board has an EMI filter installed. The EMI

performance of the board (with EMI filter) is shown on

Figure 4. The red line in Radiated EMI Performance is

CISPR25 Class 5 peak limit. The figure shows that the

circuit passes the test with a wide margin. To achieve EMI/

EMC performance as shown in Figure 4, the input EMI

filter is required and the input voltage should be applied

at VEMI terminal. An inductor can be added in the EMI

filter to further reduce the conducted emission. The EMI

filter can be bypassed by applying the input voltage at

VIN terminal.

The LT8645S data sheet gives a complete description of

the part, operation and application information. The data

sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo manual

for demo circuit 2468A. The LT8645S is assembled in a

6mm × 4mm LQFN package with exposed pads for low

thermal resistance. The layout recommendations for low

EMI operation and maximum thermal performance are

available in the data sheet section Low EMI PCB Layout

and Thermal Considerations.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Demonstration circuit 2468A is easy to set up to evalu-

ate the performance of the LT8645S. Refer to Figure 5

for proper measurement equipment setup and follow the

procedure below:

NOTE:When measuring the input or output voltage ripple,

care must be taken to avoid a long ground lead on the

oscilloscope probe. Measure the output voltage ripple by

touching the probe tip directly across the output capaci-

tor. See Figure 6 for the proper scope technique. Figure 7

shows the output voltage ripple measured at the output

capacitor C9.

1. Place JP1 on BURST position.

2. With power off, connect the input power supply to

VEMI and GND. If the input EMI filter is not desired,

connect the input power supply to VIN and GND.

3. With power off, connect the load from VOUT to GND.

4. Turn on the power at the input.

NOTE:Make sure that the input voltage does not

exceed 65V.

5. Check for the proper output voltage (VOUT = 5V).

NOTE:If there is no output, temporarily disconnect the

load to make sure that the load is not set too high or

is shorted.

6. Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust

the load within the operating ranges and observe the

output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency and

other parameters.

7. An external clock can be added to the SYNC terminal

when SYNC function is used (JP1 on the SYNC posi-

tion). Please make sure that R2 should be chose to set

the LT8645S switching frequency equal to or below the

lowest SYNC frequency. JP1 can also set LT8645S in

spread spectrum mode (JP1 on the SPREAD-SPEC-

TRUM position) or pulse skipping mode (JP1 on the

PULSE-SKIPPING position).
