This n Optional Spread Spectrum Modulation includes the integration of bypass capacitors to opti- n High Efficiency at High Frequency mize all the fast current loops inside and make it easy n Up to 96% Efficiency at 1MHz, 12VIN to 3.3VOUT to achieve advertised EMI performance by eliminating n Up to 95% Efficiency at 2MHz, 12VIN to 3.3VOUT layout sensitivity. This performance makes the LT8642S n Wide Input Voltage Range: 2.8V to 18V ideal for noise sensitive applications and environments. n 10A Output Current The fast, clean, low-overshoot switching edges enable n External Compensation: Fast Transient Response high efficiency operation even at high switching frequen- and Current Sharing cies, leading to a small overall solution size. Peak current n Low Quiescent Current Burst Mode® Operation mode control with a 25ns minimum on-time al ows high n 240µA IQ Regulating 12VIN to 1.2VOUT step down ratios even at high switching frequencies. n Output Ripple < 10mVP-P External compensation via the VC pin al ows for fast n Fast Minimum Switch On-Time: 25ns transient response at high switching frequencies. The n Low Dropout Under All Conditions: 50mV at 1A VC pin also enables current sharing and a CLKOUT pin n Forced Continuous Mode enables synchronizing other regulators to the LT8642S. n Adjustable and Synchronizable: 200kHz to 3MHz n Output Soft-Start and Power Good Burst Mode operation enables low standby current con- n Small 24-Lead 4mm × 4mm LQFN Package sumption, forced continuous mode can control frequency harmonics across the entire output load range, or spread APPLICATIONS spectrum operation can further reduce EMI emissions. n Server Power Applications Soft-start and tracking functionality is accessed via the n General Purpose Step-Down SS pin, and an accurate input voltage UVLO threshold can be set using the EN/UV pin.
