LT8611
42V, 2.5A Micropower Synchronous
Step-Down Regulator with Current Sense
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1750A is a 42V, 2.5A micropower
synchronous step-down regulator with current sense
featuring the LT
®
8611. The LT8611 is a compact, high ef-
ficiency, high speed synchronous monolithic step-down
switching regulator that consumes only 2.5μA of quiescent
current when output is regulated at 3.3V. Top and bottom
power switches, compensation components and other
necessary circuits are inside of the LT8611 to minimize
external components and simplify design.
The demonstration circuit has output current limit set at
2.5A by default. The current limit can be moved to the input
side for application where input supply current is limited,
such as energy harvesting application. ICTRL and IMON on
the board set and monitor the regulated current respectively.
The SYNC pin on the demo board is grounded by default
for low ripple Burst Mode
®
operation. To synchronize to an
external clock, move JP1 to SYNC and apply the external
clock to the SYNC turret. Once JP1 is on SYNC position,
a DC voltage of higher than 2V or INTV
CC
can be applied
to the SYNC turret for pulse skipping operation. Figure 1
shows the efficiency of the circuit at 12V input.
The demo board has an EMI filter installed. The EMI
performance of the board is shown on Figure 2. Figure 3
shows the EMI performance of the board running at 1MHz
switching frequency. The limit in Figure 2 and Figure 3 is
EN55022 Class B. Both figures show the circuit passes
the test with a wide margin. To use the EMI filter, the input
should be tied to VEMI, not VIN.
The LT8611 datasheet gives a complete description of the
part, operation and application information. The data sheet
must be read in conjunction with this quick start guide for
demo circuit 1750A.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 1750A is easy to set up to evalu-
ate the performance of the LT8611. Refer to Figure 4 and
Figure 5 for proper measurement equipment setup and
follow the procedure below:
1. With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN
and GND.
2. With power off, connect the load VOUT and GND.
3. Check JP1 setting
4. Turn on the power at the input.
5. Carefully evaluate other design parameters as needed.
