LT8612
42V, 6A Micropower Synchronous
Step-Down Regulator
Description
Demonstration circuit 2010A is a 42V, 6A micropower
synchronous step-down regulator featuring the LT®8612.
The demo board is designed for 5V output from a 5.8V
to 42V input. The wide input range allows a variety of
input sources, such as automotive batteries and industrial
supplies. The LT8612 is a compact, 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. Ultralow 3μA 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 LT8612 switching frequency can be programmed
either via oscillator resistor or external clock over a 200kHz
to 2.2MHz range. The SYNC pin on the demo board is
grounded 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. Once JP1
is on SYNC position, a DC voltage of 3V or higher can be
applied to the SYNC turret for pulse-skipping operation.

Efficiency at DC
Figure 1 shows the efficiency of DC2010A circuit at 12V
input. Figure 2 shows the LT8612 temperature rising on
DC2010A demo board under different load conditions.
The rated maximum load current is 6A, while derating is
necessary for certain VIN and thermal conditions. The demo
board has an EMI filter installed. To use the EMI filter, the
input should be tied to VEMI terminal, not VIN terminal.
The LT8612 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 2010A. The LT8612 is assembled in a
3mm × 6mm plastic QFN package with exposed pads for
low thermal resistance. Proper board layout is essential for
minimum EMI and maximum thermal performance. See
the data sheet section PCB Layout and High Temperature
Considerations.

Quick Start Procedure
Demonstration circuit 2010A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance of the LT8612. Refer to Figure 3 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 4 for the proper
scope technique.
1.Place JP1 on GND position.
2.With power off, 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.
2
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 chosen to
set the LT8612 switching frequency equal to or below
the lowest SYNC frequency. See the data sheet section
Synchronization.
