The LT®8602 is a quad channel, current mode, monolithic
buck switching regulator with a programmable power-on
reset. All regulators are synchronized to a single oscillator
with an adjustable frequency from 250kHz to 2.2MHz. The
LT8602 can be configured for micropower Burst Mode
operation or pulse-skipping operation at light load. Micropower operation results in quiescent current of 30µA
with all four regulators operating in the application below.
Applications
The LT8602 is available in either a 40-lead 6mm × 6mm
QFN or a 48-Lead 7mm × 7mm LQFP package.
n
The high voltage channels are synchronous buck regulators that operate from an input of 3V to 42V. The output
currents are up to 1.5A (OUT1) and 2.5A (OUT2). The
low voltage channels operate from an input of 2.6V to
5.5V. Internal synchronous power switches provide high
efficiency with output currents up to 1.8A. The LT8602
uses a 2-phase clock with channels 1 and 3 operating 180°
from channels 2 and 4 to reduce input ripple current on
both HV and LV inputs. All channels have cycle-by-cycle
current limit, providing protection against shorted outputs.
Thermal shutdown provides additional protection.

Pin Functions
(QFN/LXE)
BIAS (Pin 10/Pin 12): Power to the internal INTVCC regulator. Connect to an output ≥3.1V when such a supply
is available. Leaving BIAS unconnected will result in a
decrease in efficiency at light load. Decouple to ground
with a low ESR capacitor.
INTVCC (Pin 28/Pin 33): Internal Regulator Bypass. Do not
load the INTVCC pin with external circuitry. INTVCC is 3.1V
when BIAS < 3.1V; 3.4V when BIAS > 3.4V; and equal to
BIAS when BIAS is between 3.1V and 3.4V. Decouple to
ground with a low ESR 4.7μF capacitor.
BST1, BST2 (Pins 4, 5/Pins 6, 7): Boost Voltage for HV
Channels. The Boost Voltage provides a drive voltage higher
than PVIN to the gate of the NMOS top switch.
PG1, PG2 (Pins 1, 11/Pins 1, 13): Power Good Indicators for Channels 1 and 2. Open drain logic output pulls
down until the corresponding FB pin rises above 0.92V
but remains below 1.08V.
CPOR (Pin 31/Pin 36): Power-On Reset Timer. Connect a
capacitor from this pin to ground to program the power-on
reset timer. CPOR has a 2μA pull-up current.
EN/UVLO (Pin 22/Pin 26): Enable/Undervoltage Lockout
Input. The LT8602 is in low power shutdown when this pin
is below 0.4V. Between 0.4V and 1.1V, the part will turn
on the internal reference. A precision threshold at 1.2V
(rising) enables the switching regulators. This allows the
EN/UVLO pin to be used as an input undervoltage lockout
by connecting to a resistor divider between VIN and GND.
When the EN/UVLO voltage is between 0.4V and 1.2V, the
LT8602 input current will depend on the mode selected,
the VIN voltage and the EN/UVLO voltage. Connect to VIN
if the UVLO function is not needed.
FB1, FB2 (Pins 26, 25/Pins 31, 29): Feedback Input Pins
for the High Voltage Converters. The converters regulate
the corresponding feedback pin to the lesser of 1V or the
voltage on the associated TRKSS pin.
FB3, FB4 (Pins 27, 24/Pins 32, 28): Feedback Input Pins
for the Low Voltage Converters. The converters regulate
the corresponding feedback pin to 800mV.
GND (Pins 2, 8, 9, 13, 16, 35, 38, 41/Pins 2, 3, 10, 11,
15, 18, 20, 22, 30, 39, 41, 43, 46): Ground. These pins
must be soldered to PCB ground. The exposed pad (pin
41) must also be soldered to PCB ground.
PG3, PG4 (Pins 40, 12/Pins 48, 14): Power Good Indicators for Channels 3 and 4. Open drain logic output pulls
down until the corresponding FB pin rises above 0.736V
but remains below 0.864V.
POREN (Pin 39/Pin 47): Power On Reset Enable. This
is a logic input that starts the ramp on the POR timing
capacitor. This input has a weak pull-up.
PVIN1, PVIN2 (Pins 37, 14/Pins 44, 45, 16, 17): Input
Supply Voltage to HV Channels 1 and 2, respectively. These
pins are independent and can be powered from different
sources if necessary. Bypass each input with a low ESR
capacitor to the adjacent GND pin.
PVIN3, PVIN4 (Pins 34, 17/Pins 40, 21): Input Supply
Voltage to low voltage Channels 3 and 4. These pins are
typically connected to one of the high voltage converter
outputs and should be locally bypassed with a low ESR
capacitor. PVIN3 and PVIN4 are independent and do not
need to be connected to the same supply voltage.
RST (Pin 32/Pin 37): Power-On Reset Output. CMOS
output with weak pull-up, this pin is held low until the
POR times out.
RT (Pin 29/Pin 34): Frequency Programming Resistor.
Connect a resistor from this pin to ground to set the
internal oscillator frequency.

Pin Functions
(QFN/LXE)
RUN3, RUN4 (Pins 30, 18/Pin 35, 23): Run Inputs for
the low voltage converters.
SW1 (Pin 3/Pins 4, 5): Channel 1 Switch Node. This is
the output of the internal power switches for Channel 1.
SW2 (Pins 6, 7/Pins 8, 9): Channel 2 Switch Node. This
is the output of the internal power switches for Channel
2. These pins must be connected together.
SW3, SW4 (Pins 36, 15/Pins 42, 19): Switch Nodes
for low voltage converters. These are the outputs of the
internal power switches for Channels 3 and 4.
SYNC (Pin 33/Pin 38): Clock Synchronization Input. A digital input to allow the LT8602 to synchronize its switching
12
frequency to an external clock. If clock synchronization is
not used, connect this pin to ground to enable low ripple
burst mode or connect high to enable pulse skip operation
of the synchronous converters. Do not allow SYNC to float.
TRKSS1, TRKSS2 (Pins 21, 20/Pins 25, 24): Track/SoftStart Inputs for the High Voltage Converters. When this
pin is below 1V, the converter regulates the FB pin to the
TRKSS voltage instead of the internal reference. The TRKSS
pin has a 2.4μA pull-up current. TRKSS may be left floating
VIN (Pin 23/Pin 27): Input Supply Voltage to Internal Functions. This pin is independent from any PVIN pin and can
be powered from different sources if necessary. VIN must
be above 3V for the part to operate.

LT8602
Operation
The LT8602 is a quad channel, constant frequency, current
mode, monolithic buck switching regulator with power-on
reset. All channels are synchronized to a single oscillator.
Two of the channels are high voltage (up to 42V input)
while the other two are low voltage (up to 5.5V input) and
are typically powered from the high voltage buck outputs.
Start-Up
When enabled by setting the EN/UVLO voltage above its
threshold, the LT8602 starts charging the INTVCC capacitor
from VIN. If BIAS is higher than 3.1V, BIAS supplies current
to the INTVCC regulator to reduce VIN quiescent current.
High Voltage Buck Regulators
Each high voltage channel is a synchronous buck regulator
that operates from an independent PVIN pin. The internal
top power MOSFET is turned on at the beginning of each
oscillator cycle, and turned off when the current flowing
through the top MOSFET reaches a level determined by
the error amplifier. The error amplifier measures the output
voltage through an external resistor divider tied to the FB
pin to control the peak current in the top switch. The reference of the error amplifier is determined by the lower of
the internal 1V reference and the voltage at its TRKSS pin.
While the top MOSFET is off, the bottom MOSFET is
turned on for the remainder of the oscillator cycle or
until the inductor current starts to reverse. If overload
conditions result in more than 2A (Ch 1) or 3.3A (Ch 2)
flowing through the bottom switch, the next clock cycle
will be delayed until switch current returns to a safe level.
Low Voltage Buck Regulators
Each low voltage channel is a synchronous buck regulator
that operates from an independent PVIN pin. The PVIN pins
have an undervoltage lockout set at 2.35V. Each internal
top power MOSFET is turned on at the beginning of each
oscillator cycle, and turned off when the current flowing
14
through the top MOSFET reaches a level determined
by the error amplifier. The error amplifier measures the
output voltage through an external resistor divider tied to
the FB pin to control the peak current in the top switch.
The reference of the error amplifier is an internal 800mV
reference. Each LV channel has a RUN pin to allow power
sequencing and an internal soft-start circuit ramps the
output voltage up in 1ms.
While the top MOSFET is off, the bottom MOSFET is turned
on for the remainder of the oscillator cycle or until the
inductor current starts to reverse. If overload conditions
result in more than 2.4A flowing through the bottom switch,
the next clock cycle will be delayed until switch current
returns to a safe level.
Multiphase Switching
The oscillator generates two clock signals 180° out of
phase. Channels 1 and 3 operate on CLK1, while channels 2
and 4 operate on CLK2. Since a buck regulator only draws
input current during the top switch on cycle, multiphase
operation reduces peak input current and doubles the input
current frequency. These effects reduce input current ripple
and reduce the input capacitance required.
Light Load Operation
At light load, the regulators operate in low ripple burst
mode. Low ripple burst mode shuts down most internal
circuitry between switch on cycles to conserve power
while still retaining low ripple at the output.
Undervoltage Lockout
The EN/UVLO pin is used to put the LT8602 in shutdown,
reducing the input current to less than 1μA. The accurate
1.2V threshold of the EN/UVLO pin allows a programmable
VIN undervoltage lockout through an external resistor
divider tied to the EN/UVLO pin. A 50mV (typ) hysteresis
voltage on the EN/UVLO pin prevents switching noise from
inadvertently shutting down the LT8602.

Operation
Power Good Comparators
Power-On Reset Timer
Each channel has a power good comparator that trips
when the feedback pin is above or below its reference
voltage by more than 8%. The PG output pins are open
drain. The PG pin for each channel is pulled low when the
corresponding output is out of regulation. The PG outputs
are not valid until INTVCC rises to 2.7V
The LT8602 includes a power-on reset timer. The poweron reset time is adjustable using an external capacitor on
the CPOR pin. The timer is enabled by the POREN pin.
The RST pin is the output of the POR timer and is an
open-drain output with a weak internal pull-up. The RST
pin is valid when the LT8602 is enabled and INTVCC is
above 2.7V.

where VOUTx is the output voltage of regulator x and FBREF
is the feedback reference voltage. FBREF is 1V for the high
voltage regulators (1 and 2) and 800mV for the low voltage
channels (3 and 4). Use 1% resistors in the dividers. R2
should be 200k or less to avoid noise problems.
To improve the frequency response, a feedforward capacitor
Cff may be used. Typical values are 10pf to 100pf. Great
care should be taken to route the VFB node away from
noise sources, such as the inductor or a SW line.
Switching Frequency
The LT8602 uses a constant frequency architecture that
can be programmed from 250kHz to 2.2MHz by tying a
resistor from the RT pin to ground. Table 1 shows the
value of RT for common switching frequencies.

The following equation approximates the values shown
in Table 1:
RT =

fS – 0.009
where RT is in kΩ and fS is in MHz.
Selection of the operating frequency is mainly a trade-off
between efficiency and component size. The advantage
of high frequency operation is that smaller inductor and
capacitor values may be used. The advantage of low frequency operation is higher efficiency.
The high switching frequency also decreases the duty
cycle range because of finite minimum on- and off-times
which are independent of the switching frequency. The
top switch in the high voltage channel has a minimum
on-time of 60ns and minimum off-time of of 70ns. The top
switch in the low voltage channel has a minimum on-time
of 70ns and minimum off-time of 70ns. The minimum and
maximum duty cycles are:

increases when the switching frequency decreases.
The internal oscillator of the LT8602 can be synchronized to
an external 250kHz to 2.2MHz clock signal on the SYNC pin.

VIN Voltage Range
The LT8602’s minimum operating voltage is 3V. To program a higher minimum operating voltage, use a resistor
divider between the VIN pin and the EN/UVLO pin. The EN/
UVLO threshold is 1.2V. The EN/UVLO pin has 50mV of
hysteresis to prevent glitches from falsely disabling the
LT8602.
The UVLO circuit is shown in Figure 3, Reverse Protection
Diodes. The calculation for the lockout voltage is:
VIN(UVLO) =
RUV1 +RUV2
•1.2V
RUV2
calculated maximum voltage, the channel starts to skip
switch on cycles (pulse-skipping). In this case, the channel
switching frequency will no longer be the programmed
frequency. The output will continue to regulate, but the
peak inductor current and output ripple will increase
significantly.
Inductor Selection
Inductor selection involves inductance, saturation current,
series resistance (DCR) and magnetic loss.
A good starting point for the inductance values are:
Lx = Kx •
VOUTx PVINx – VOUTx
•
PVINx
fS
PVIN Voltage Range
Each switching regulator channel operates from its own
PVIN pin (PVIN1 to PVIN4). The PVIN pin can be connected
to either an independent voltage supply or a high voltage
channel output. The PVIN1 and PVIN2 voltage range is 3.0V
to 42V. The PVIN3 and PVIN4 voltage range is 2.6V to 5.5V.
Once the inductance is selected, the inductor current ripple
and peak current can be calculated:
where fS is the switching frequency in MHz, Lx is in µH,
VOUTx is the channel output voltage and K1 = 1.6, K2 =
1.0 and K3 and K4 = 1.3.
The minimum PVIN voltage to regulate output voltage at
full frequency is:
PVINx(MIN) =
VOUTx
DCMAX
Where DCMAX is the maximum duty cycle (refer to Switching Frequency section) for that channel. If PVIN is below
the calculated minimum voltage, the channel starts to skip
switch off cycles. At low input voltages the part will turn
on the top switch for longer than a full switch cycle in
order to extend the effective duty cycle. When the part is
extending the effective duty cycle the switching frequency
will drop to one half (or less) of the programmed frequency.
The maximum PVIN voltage to regulate output voltage at
full frequency is:
PVINx(MAX) =
VOUTx
DCMIN
Where DCMIN is the minimum duty cycle (refer to Switching
Frequency section) for that channel. If PVIN is above the

To guarantee sufficient output current, peak inductor current must be lower than the switch current limit (ILIM).
To keep the efficiency high, the inductor series resistance
(DCR) should be as small as possible (must be
