DEMO MANUAL DC1749B LT8610 42V, 2.5A Micropower Synchronous Step-Down Regulator Description Demonstration circuit 1749B is a 42V, 2.5A micropower synchronous step-down regulator featuring the LT(R)8610. The LT8610 is a compact, high efficiency, high speed synchronous monolithic step-down switching regulator that consumes only 2.5A of quiescent current when output is regulated at 5V. Top and bottom power switches, compensation components and other necessary circuits are inside of the LT8610 to minimize external components and simplify design. The demo board has an EMI filter installed. The EMI performance of the board is shown on Figure 2. The limit in Figure 2 is EN55022 class B, average. It shows the circuit passes the test with a wide margin. The SYNC pin on the demo board is grounded by default for low ripple Burst Mode(R) 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 Design files for this circuit board are available at http://www.linear.com/demo/DC1749B The LT8610 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 demo circuit 1749B.
