The LT®8640/LT8640-1 step-down regulator features Silent Switcher architecture designed to minimize EMI/EMC
emissions while delivering high efficiency at frequencies up
to 3MHz. An ultralow 2.5µA quiescent current—with the
output in full regulation—enables applications requiring
highest efficiency at very small load currents.
The LT8640/LT8640-1 allows high VIN to low VOUT conversion
at high frequency with a fast minimum top switch on-time of
30ns. The SYNC/MODE pin selects between Burst Mode
operation, spread spectrum mode, synchronization to
an external clock, and either pulse-skipping (LT8640) or
forced continuous mode (LT8640-1).

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 LT8640E/LT8640-1E 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 LT8640I/LT8640-1I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to
125°C operating junction temperature range. The LT8640H/LT8640-1H is
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 the ambient
UNITS
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 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.

LT8640/LT8640-1
PIN FUNCTIONS
BIAS (Pin 1): 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.
INTVCC (Pin 2): 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. Decouple this pin to power ground with at least
a 1µF low ESR ceramic capacitor placed close to the IC.
BST (Pin 3): 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.
VIN1 (Pin 4): The LT8640/LT8640-1 requires two 1µF
small input bypass capacitors. One 1µF capacitor should
be placed between VIN1 and GND1. A second 1µF capacitor
should be placed between VIN2 and GND2. These capacitors must be placed as close as possible to the LT8640/
LT8640-1. A third larger capacitor of 2.2µF or more should
be placed close to the LT8640/LT8640-1 with the positive
terminal connected to VIN1 and VIN2, and the negative
terminal connected to ground. See applications section
for sample layout.
GND1 (6, 7): Power Switch Ground. These pins are the
return path of the internal bottom side power switch and
must be tied together. Place the negative terminal of the
input capacitor as close to the GND1 pins as possible. Also
be sure to tie GND1 to the ground plane. See the Applications Information section for sample layout.
SW (Pins 8, 9): The SW pins are the outputs of the internal
power switches. Tie these pins together and connect them
to the inductor and boost capacitor. This node should be
kept small on the PCB for good performance and low EMI.
GND2 (10, 11): Power Switch Ground. These pins are the
return path of the internal bottom side power switch and
must be tied together. Place the negative terminal of the
input capacitor as close to the GND2 pins as possible. Also
be sure to tie GND2 to the ground plane. See the Applications Information section for sample layout.
VIN2 (Pin 13): The LT8640/LT8640-1 requires two 1µF
small input bypass capacitors. One 1µF capacitor should
be placed between VIN1 and GND1. A second 1µF capacitor
should be placed between VIN2 and GND2. These capacitors must be placed as close as possible to the LT8640/
LT8640-1. A third larger capacitor of 2.2µF or more should
be placed close to the LT8640/LT8640-1 with the positive terminal connected to VIN1 and VIN2, and the negative terminal connected to ground. See the Applications
Information section for sample layout.
EN/UV (Pin 14): The LT8640/LT8640-1 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 LT8640/LT8640-1
will shut down.
RT (Pin 15): A resistor is tied between RT and ground to
set the switching frequency.
TR/SS (Pin 16): Output Tracking and Soft-Start Pin. This
pin allows user control of output voltage ramp rate during start-up. A TR/SS voltage below 0.97V forces the
LT8640/LT8640-1 to regulate the FB pin to equal the TR/
SS pin voltage. When TR/SS is above 0.97V, the tracking
function is disabled and the internal reference resumes
control of the error amplifier. An internal 1.9µA pull-up
current from INTVCC on this pin allows a capacitor to
program output voltage slew rate. This pin is pulled to
ground with an internal 200Ω MOSFET during shutdown
and fault conditions; use a series resistor if driving from
a low impedance output. This pin may be left floating if
the tracking function is not needed.
SYNC/MODE (Pin 17, LT8640 Only): 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) Pulse-skipping mode. This mode offers full frequency
operation down to low output loads before pulse skipping
occurs. Float this pin for pulse-skipping mode. When
floating, pin leakage currents should be
