DEMO MANUAL DC2139A LT8610A 42V, 3.5A Micropower Synchronous Step-Down Regulator Description Demonstration circuit 2139A is a 42V, 3.5A micropower synchronous step-down regulator featuring the LT(R)8610A. The LT8610A is a compact, high efficiency, high speed synchronous monolithic step-down switching regulator that consumes only 2.5A of quiescent current when output is regulated at 5V and is unloaded. The 2139A uses two input ceramic capacitors in series to improve reliability in case of an input capacitor short failure. Top and bottom power switches, compensation components and other necessary circuits are inside of the LT8610A to minimize external components and simplify design. output current and 2MHz switching frequency, the temperature rise will be significant. Either reducing the input voltage, the output current or the switching frequency will bring the temperature down to acceptable level without external cooling. 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 INTVCC can be applied to the SYNC turret for pulse-skipping operation. Figure 1 shows the efficiency of the circuit at 12V input. The LT8610A data sheet 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 2139A. Figure 2 shows the thermal performance of the circuit. When running at input voltage greater than 30V, 3.5A The demo board has an EMI filter installed. The board and the IC are designed to minimize conducted and radiated EMI. The radiated EMI performances of the board are shown in Figure 3 to Figure 5. The limits on those figures are CISPR25, Class 5 peak limits. The circuit passes the test with a wide margin.

Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 for proper measurement equipment setup and follow the procedure below: 1. With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN and GND. When evaluating EMI performance, input power supply should be connected between VEMI 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. 100 95 EFFICIENCY (%) 90 85 80 75 70 65 60 0 1 2 LOAD CURRENT (A) 3 DC2139a F01 Figure 1.
