65V, 8A Synchronous Step-Down Silent Switcher 2 with 2.5μA Quiescent Current

The LT8645S/LT8646S synchronous step-down regulator features second generation Silent Switcher architecture designed to minimize EMI emissions while delivering high efficiency at high switching frequencies. This includes the integration of bypass capacitors to optimize all the fast current loops inside and make it easy to achieve advertised EMI performance by eliminating layout sensitivity.

The fast, clean, low-overshoot switching edges enable high efficiency operation even at high switching frequencies, leading to a small overall solution size. Peak current mode control with a 40ns minimum on-time allows high step-down ratios even at high switching frequencies. The LT8646S has external compensation to enable current sharing and fast transient response at high switching frequencies.

Burst Mode® operation enables ultralow standby current consumption, pulse-skipping mode allows full switching frequency at lower output loads, or spread spectrum operation can further reduce EMI emissions.
