DESCRIPTION
The SAT8566 is a 4-channel, non-isolated PowerPac module designed for high reliability and full military point
of load applications. This device can be used to provide up to 4 separate outputs at 4A each or one output at
15A. Fully integrated, the SAT8566 includes buck controllers, inductors, and capacitors in a single package.
The SAT8566 is optimized for an input voltage of +4.5V to +6V providing efficient step down power
conversion for output voltages as low as 1.21V. Operating features include output voltage adjust, output current
limit, shutdown and low output ripple. Careful design and layout ensure excellent stability, transient response,
and low noise operation. Packaged in a hermetic 42-Pin Flat-pack, the SAT8566 is available screened to Class-
H and operates over the full –55

Notes:
1. Output Inhibit guaranteed @ Vshdn< 0.4V.
2. Shutdown pin must be pulled up to Vin (Rpullup≤ 5KΩ), when not in use.
3. For regulators in parallel, the thermal resistance = (θj-c/# of regulators in parallel). Therefore, 4 regulators
in parallel would have a Maximum
