DESCRIPTION
LT8604
High Efficiency 42V, 120mA
Synchronous Buck Regulator
Demonstration circuit EVAL-LT8604-AZ features the
LT
®
8604, a high efficiency 42V, 120mA synchronous step-
down regulator in 10-Lead 3mm × 2mm side-wettable
DFN package. The demo board is designed for 120mA
at 5V output from a 5.9V to 42V input, with switching
frequency of 0.7MHz. The wide input range allows a vari-
ety of input sources, such as automotive batteries and
industrial supplies.
The LT8604 is a compact high efficiency, and high fre-
quency synchronous monolithic step-down switching
regulator. The regulator is featured with ultralow 2.5μA
quiescent current with the output in full regulation, mak-
ing it an ideal solution for applications requiring highest
efficiency at very light load currents, such as automotive
and battery powered portable instruments.
Peak current mode control with minimum on-time of as
small as 35ns allows high step-down conversion even at
high frequency. The LT8604 switching frequency can be All registered trademarks and trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
programmed via an oscillator resistor over a 200kHz to
2.2MHz range. The default frequency of the evaluation
board is 700kHz.
The demo board has an EMI filter installed. The EMI per-
formance of the board is shown on Figure2. The red line
in Radiated EMI Performance is CISPR25 Class 5 peak
limit. The figure shows that the circuit passes the peak
limit test from 30MHz to 1GHz, with a wide margin.
The LT8604 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. The layout recommendations for best thermal
performance are available in the data sheet Application
Information section. Contact ADI applications engineer
for technical support.
Design files for this circuit board are available.
Specifications are at TA = 25°C

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit EVAL-LT8604-AZ is easy to set
up to evaluate the performance of the LT8604. Refer to
Figure1 for proper measurement equipment setup and
follow the procedure below:
1. With power off, connect the DC power supply to VEMI
and GND, and load from VOUT to GND.
2. Turn on the power at the input. Make sure that the input
voltage does not exceed 42V.
3. Check for the proper output voltage (5V). If there is no
output, temporarily disconnect the load to make sure
that the load is not set too high or is shorted.
4. 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.
