The LT®8636 synchronous step-down regulator features
Silent Switcher architecture designed to minimize EMI
emissions while delivering high efficiency at high switching frequencies. Peak current mode control with a 30ns
minimum on-time allows high step-down ratios even at
high switching frequencies.
n
The LT8636’s ultralow 2.5µA quiescent current—with the
output in full regulation—enables applications requiring
highest efficiency at very small load currents. A CLKOUT
pin enables synchronizing other regulators to the LT8636.
Burst Mode operation enables ultralow standby current
consumption, forced continuous mode can control frequency harmonics across the entire output load range, or
spread spectrum operation can further reduce EMI emissions. Soft-start and tracking functionality is accessed
via the TR/SS pin, and an accurate input voltage UVLO
threshold can be set using the EN/UV pin.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: The LT8636E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C

to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,
characterization, and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LT8636J and LT8636H are guaranteed over the full –40°C to 150°C
operating junction temperature range. High junction temperatures degrade
operating lifetimes. Operating lifetime is derated at junction temperatures
greater than 125°C. The junction temperature (TJ, in °C) is calculated from

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
the ambient temperature (TA in °C) and power dissipation (PD, in Watts)
according to the formula:
TJ = TA + (PD • θJA)
where θJA (in °C/W) is the package thermal impedance.
Note 3: θ values determined per JEDEC 51-7, 51-12. See the Applications
Information section for information on improving the thermal resistance
and for actual temperature measurements of a demo board in typical
operating conditions.
Note 4: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during overload conditions. Junction temperature will
exceed 150°C when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous
operation above the specified maximum operating junction temperature
will reduce lifetime.

PIN FUNCTIONS
PG (Pin 1): The PG pin is the open-drain output of an
internal comparator. PG remains low until the FB pin is
within ±8% of the final regulation voltage, and there are
no fault conditions. PG is also pulled low when EN/UV is
below 1V, INTVCC has fallen too low, VIN is too low, or
thermal shutdown. PG is valid when VIN is above 3.4V.
BIAS (Pin 2): The internal regulator will draw current from
BIAS instead of VIN when BIAS is tied to a voltage higher
than 3.1V. For output voltages of 3.3V to 25V this pin
should be tied to VOUT. If this pin is tied to a supply other
than VOUT use a 1µF local bypass capacitor on this pin.
If no supply is available, tie to GND. However, especially
for high input or high frequency applications, BIAS should
be tied to output or an external supply of 3.3V or above.
INTVCC (Pin 3): Internal 3.4V Regulator Bypass Pin. The
internal power drivers and control circuits are powered
from this voltage. INTVCC maximum output current is
20mA. Do not load the INTVCC pin with external circuitry.
INTVCC current will be supplied from BIAS if BIAS > 3.1V,
otherwise current will be drawn from VIN. Voltage on
INTVCC will vary between 2.8V and 3.4V when BIAS is
between 3.0V and 3.6V. Place a low ESR ceramic capacitor of at least 1µF from this pin to ground close to the IC.
GND (Pins 4, 13, Exposed Pad Pin 21): Ground. Place
the negative terminal of the input capacitor as close to
the GND pins as possible. The exposed pads should be
soldered to the PCB for good thermal performance. If
necessary due to manufacturing limitations Pin 21 may
be left disconnected, however thermal performance will
be degraded.
NC (Pins 5, 12): No Connect. This pin is not connected
to internal circuitry and can be tied anywhere on the PCB,
typically ground.
VIN (Pins 6, 11): The VIN pins supply current to the
LT8636 internal circuitry and to the internal topside
power switch. The LT8636 requires the use of multiple
VIN bypass capacitors. Two small 1µF capacitors should
be placed as close as possible to the LT8636, one capacitor on each side of the device (CIN1, CIN2). A third capacitor with a larger value, 2.2µF or higher, should be placed
near CIN1 or CIN2. See Applications Information section
for sample layout.
BST (Pin 7): This pin is used to provide a drive voltage,
higher than the input voltage, to the topside power switch.
Place a 0.1µF boost capacitor as close as possible to
the IC.
SW (Pins 8–10): The SW pins are the outputs of the internal power switches. Tie these pins together and connect
them to the inductor. This node should be kept small on
the PCB for good performance and low EMI.
EN/UV (Pin 14): The LT8636 is shut down when this pin
is low and active when this pin is high. The hysteretic
threshold voltage is 1.00V going up and 0.96V going
down. Tie to VIN if the shutdown feature is not used. An
external resistor divider from VIN can be used to program
a VIN threshold below which the LT8636 will shut down.
SYNC/MODE (Pin 15): For the LT8636, this pin programs
four different operating modes: 1) Burst Mode operation.
Tie this pin to ground for Burst Mode operation at low
output loads—this will result in ultralow quiescent
current. 2) Forced Continuous mode (FCM). This
mode offers fast transient response and full frequency
operation over a wide load range. Float this pin for FCM.
When floating, pin leakage currents should be 3.1V
