LT8610AB
42V, 3.5A Micropower Synchronous
Step-Down Regulator
Description
Demonstration circuit 2012A is a 42V, 3.5A micropower synchronous step-down regulator featuring the
LT®8610AB. The LT8610AB is a compact, high efficiency,
high speed synchronous monolithic step-down switching
regulator that consumes only 2.5µA of quiescent current
when output is regulated at 5V. The efficiency of the circuit
is greater than 90% at light load up to 1.5A. This is a 10%
improvement over competing parts. Top and bottom power
switches, compensation components and other necessary
circuits are inside of the LT8610AB to minimize external
components and simplify design.
The SYNC pin on the demo board is grounded by default
for low ripple burst mode operation. To synchronous 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 higher than 2V or INTVCC can be applied
to the SYNC turret for pulse-skipping operation. Figure 1
shows the efficiency of the circuit at 12V input.
Figure 2 shows the thermal performance of the circuit.
When running at input voltage greater than 30V, 3.5A
output current and 2MHz switching frequency, the temperature rise will be significant. Either reducing the input
voltage, the output current or the switching frequency will
bring the temperature down to acceptable level without
external cooling.
The demo board has an EMI filter installed. The board
and the IC are designed to minimize conducted and radiated EMI. The conducted EMI performance of the board
is shown on Figure 3. The limit in Figure 3 is EN55022
class B, average. It shows the circuit passes the test with
a wide margin.
The LT8610AB 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 DC2012A.

DEMO MANUAL DC2012A
Quick Start Procedure
DC2012A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance of
the LT8610AB. Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 for proper
measurement equipment setup and follow the procedure
below:
1.With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN
and GND.
2.With power off, connect the load VOUT and GND.
3.Check JP1 setting
4.Turn on the power at the input.
5.Carefully evaluate other design parameters as needed.
