Product details
Overview
LT8640SEV-2#PBF from Analog Devices is a 42V, 6A synchronous step-down Silent Switcher regulator with internal compensation, 2.5µA quiescent current in Burst Mode, 30ns minimum on-time, and 200kHz–3MHz adjustable switching frequency. It delivers up to 96% efficiency at 1MHz (12VIN→5VOUT) and targets automotive and industrial power supplies requiring ultralow EMI and high light-load efficiency.
For engineers reviewing the LT8640SEV-2#PBF datasheet, LT8640SEV-2#PBF pinout, LT8640SEV-2#PBF application, or LT8640SEV-2#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (24-lead LQFN), confirmed thermal performance (θJA = 24°C/W on demo board), validated EMI suppression via Silent Switcher architecture, and real-world transient response data for 100mA–1.1A load steps.
Technical Context
The LT8640SEV-2#PBF implements peak current mode control with a dedicated internal error amplifier and fixed 0.970V feedback reference. Its Silent Switcher architecture uses symmetrical layout and integrated input capacitors to suppress common-mode EMI, enabling CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance without external filters. The 30ns minimum on-time supports high step-down ratios (e.g., 42VIN→3.3VOUT) at 2MHz.
Burst Mode operation reduces VIN quiescent current to 2.5µA (12VIN→3.3VOUT), while forced continuous mode (FCM) enables deterministic switching across full load range. Spread spectrum modulation-enabled via SYNC/MODE pin-further lowers peak radiated emissions by ±22% frequency dithering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.4V to 42V - supports wide automotive battery transients and industrial 24/36V rails. |
| Output Current | 6A continuous, 7A peak - sustains full load under 125°C junction temperature with proper PCB copper. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA in Burst Mode (12VIN→3.3VOUT) - enables >1-year battery life in always-on automotive modules. |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz to 3MHz (RT-programmable) - allows optimization of size (high-freq) vs. efficiency (low-freq). |
| Feedback Reference | 0.970V ±0.006V - tight tolerance enables accurate output regulation with standard resistor dividers. |
| EMI Performance | CISPR 25 Class 5 compliant (radiated) with integrated filter - eliminates need for external EMI chokes in most designs. |
| Min On-Time | 30ns - enables 42VIN→3.3VOUT conversion at 2MHz without pulse-skipping instability. |
Pinout & Package
LT8640SEV-2#PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 24-lead LQFN package (4mm × 4mm × 0.94mm) with exposed GND pads (pins 25–28) soldered to PCB for θJA = 24°C/W on demo board. Pin count and footprint match standard QFN-24 but include dual VIN and SW pins for low-inductance high-current routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (8–12) | Power switch node | Five paralleled pins reduce conduction loss and parasitic inductance; must connect directly to inductor with minimal trace area. |
| VIN (5,6,13,14) | Main input supply | Four dedicated pins distribute high di/dt input current; require local 1µF ceramic caps per pair plus bulk capacitance. |
| BIAS (1) | Internal regulator supply | Accepts VOUT (≥3.3V) to reduce VIN current draw; improves efficiency at high input voltages. |
| SYNC/MODE (20) | Operating mode selector | GND = Burst Mode; float = FCM; INTVCC = spread spectrum; external clock = synchronization. |
| TR/SS (21) | Soft-start & tracking control | 1.9µA internal pull-up enables capacitor-programmed slew rate; supports power sequencing with other rails. |
| PG (23) | Power good indicator | Open-drain output asserts high when FB is within ±8% of 0.970V and no fault conditions exist. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Silent Switcher architecture | Integrated input capacitors + symmetrical layout reduce radiated EMI by >30dB vs. conventional buck regulators. |
| Ultralow IQ Burst Mode | 2.5µA input current at no load enables always-on systems with 10+ year coin-cell battery life. |
| Adjustable spread spectrum | ±22% frequency dithering lowers peak EMI amplitude without affecting average switching frequency. |
| Fast transient response | Sub-20µs recovery from 100mA→1.1A load step with <100mV undershoot using internal compensation. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Grade E (–40°C to +125°C) ensures reliability in automotive infotainment, ADAS, and body electronics. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT8640SEV-2#PBF?
The LT8640SEV-2#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 42V on VIN, EN/UV, and PG pins. Operation is specified from 3.4V to 42V, making it suitable for 12V/24V/36V automotive and industrial systems with load dump and cold-crank transients. Exceeding 42V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
How does LT8640SEV-2#PBF achieve ultralow EMI performance?
The LT8640SEV-2#PBF achieves ultralow EMI through Analog Devices' Silent Switcher architecture: integrated input capacitors minimize high-di/dt loop area, symmetrical layout cancels magnetic fields, and optional spread spectrum modulation dithers switching frequency by ±22%. This enables CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance without external EMI filters on the DC2530A demo board.
Can LT8640SEV-2#PBF operate with a 3.0V input supply?
No. The LT8640SEV-2#PBF has a minimum specified input voltage of 3.4V. While the Absolute Maximum Ratings table lists 3.0V as a test condition, the Electrical Characteristics section confirms guaranteed operation starts at 3.4V. Below 3.4V, regulation cannot be maintained - for sub-3.4V inputs, consider the LT8640S-1 variant or alternative regulators.
What thermal performance can be expected from LT8640SEV-2#PBF in a typical layout?
On the DC2530A demo board, LT8640SEV-2#PBF achieves θJA = 24°C/W. With 4cm² of 2oz copper connected to the exposed GND pads (pins 25–28), junction temperature rise is ~48°C at 6A load (12VIN→5VOUT). Derating is required above 125°C junction temperature; the device includes thermal shutdown at 150°C.
Is LT8640SEV-2#PBF pin-compatible with LT8640S-2 variants like LT8640SIV-2#PBF?
Yes. All LT8640S-2 variants - including LT8640SEV-2#PBF, LT8640SIV-2#PBF, and LT8640SHV-2#PBF - share identical 24-lead LQFN packaging, pinout, and electrical specifications. Only temperature grade (E: –40°C to +125°C, I: same, H: –40°C to +150°C) and shipping form (tape-and-reel vs. tray) differ; no PCB changes are needed when substituting within the same grade.
