LT8640
42V, 5A Micropower Synchronous
Step-Down Silent Switcher
Description
Demonstration circuit 2202A is a 42V, 5A micropower
synchronous step-down Silent Switcher® with spread
spectrum frequency modulation featuring the LT®8640.
The demo board is designed for 5V output from a 5.7V
to 42V input. The wide input range allows a variety of
input sources, such as automotive batteries and industrial
supplies. The LT8640 is a compact, ultralow emission,
high efficiency, and high speed synchronous monolithic
step-down switching regulator. The integrated power
switches and inclusion of all necessary circuitry reduce
the components count and solution size. Special Silent
Switcher architecture minimizes EMI/EMC emissions.
Selectable spread spectrum mode can further improve
EMI/EMC performance. Ultralow 2.5μA quiescent current
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 LT8640 switching frequency can be programmed either
via oscillator resistor or external clock over a 200kHz to
3MHz range. 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 turret. 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 and 24V input in
Burst Mode operation (input from VIN turret pin). Figure 2

shows the LT8640 temperature rising on DC2202A demo
board under different load conditions. The rated maximum
load current is 5A, while derating is necessary for certain
input voltage and thermal conditions.
The demo board has an EMI filter installed. The EMI
performance of the board (with EMI filter) is shown on
Figure 3. The red line in Figure 3 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 3, the input EMI filter is required and
the input voltage should be applied at VEMI turret pin. An
inductor L2, which is a 0Ω jumper on the board by default
now, can be added in the EMI filter to further reduce the
conducted emission.
The LT8640 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 2202A. The LT8640 is assembled in a
3mm × 4mm plastic QFN package with exposed pads for
low thermal resistance. Proper board layout is essential
for both low EMI operation and maximum thermal performance. See the data sheet sections Low EMI PCB Layout
and Thermal Considerations and Peak Output Current.

Quick Start Procedure
Demonstration circuit 2202A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance of the LT8640. Refer to Figure 4 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 input or output voltage
ripple by touching the probe tip directly across the VIN
or VOUT and GND terminals. See Figure 5 for the proper
scope technique.
1. Place JP1 on BURST position.
2. With power off, connect the input power supply to VEMI
and GND. If the EMI/EMC performance is not important,
the input EMI filter can be bypassed by connecting 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
42V.
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 position).
Please make sure that RT should be chose to set the
LT8640 switching frequency equal to or below the lowest SYNC frequency. JP1 can also set LT8640 in spread
spectrum mode (JP1 on the SPREAD-SPECTRUM
position) or pulse-skipping mode (JP1 on the PULSESKIPPING position).
