FeaTures  
Silent Switcher®2 Architecture  
The LT®8640S/LT8643S synchronous step-down regulator  
features second generation Silent Switcher architecture  
designed to minimize EMI/EMC emissions while delivering

high efficiency at high switching frequencies. This  
includes the integration of bypass capacitors to optimize  
all the fast current loops inside and make it easy to achieve  
advertised EMI performance by reducing layout sensitivity.  
This performance makes the LT8640S/LT8643S ideal for  
noise- sensitive applications and environments.

Wide Input Voltage Range: 3.4V to 42V  
6A Maximum Continuous, 7A Peak Output  
The fast, clean, low overshoot switching edges enable high  
efficiency operation even at high switching frequencies,  
leading to a small overall solution size. Peak current  
mode control with a 30ns minimum on-time allows high  
step-down ratios even at high switching frequencies.  
The LT8643S has external compensation via the V pin  
to enable current sharing and fast transient respConse  
at high switching frequencies. A CLKOUT pin enables  
synchronizing other regulators to the LT8640S/LT8643S.

Output Soft-Start and Tracking  
Burst Mode operation enables ultralow standby current  
consumption, forced continuous mode can control  
frequency harmonics across the entire output load range,  
or spread spectrum operation can further reduce EMI/  
EMC emissions. Soft-start and tracking functionality is  
accessed via the TR/SS pin, and an accurate input voltage  
UVLO threshold can be set using the EN/UV pin.

Note 2: The LT8640SE/LT8643SE 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 LT8640SI/LT8643SI is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C  
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.

LT8640S/LT8643S  
pin FuncTions  
BIAS (Pin 1): The internal regulator will draw current from  
SW (Pins 8–12): The SW pins are the outputs of the inter-  
nal power switches. Tie these pins together and connect  
them to the inductor. This node should be kept small on  
the PCB for good performance and low EMI.  
BIAS instead of V when BIAS is tied to a voltage higher  
IN  
than 3.1V. For output voltages of 3.3V to 25V this pin  
should be tied to V . If this pin is tied to a supply other  
OUT  
than V  
use a 1µF local bypass capacitor on this pin.  
OUT  
EN/UV (Pin 17): The LT8640S/LT8643S 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  
If no supply is available, tie to GND. However, especially  
for high input or high frequency applications, BIAS should  
be tied to output or an external supply of 3.3V or above.  
INTV (Pin 2): Internal 3.4V Regulator Bypass Pin. The  
used. An external resistor divider from V can be used  
CC  
IN  
internal power drivers and control circuits are powered  
to program a V threshold below which the LT8640S/  
IN  
from this voltage. INTVCC maximum output current is  
LT8643S will shut down.  
20mA. Do not load the INTV pin with external circuitry.  
CC  
RT (Pin 18): A resistor is tied between RT and ground to  
set the switching frequency.  
INTV current will be supplied from BIAS if BIAS > 3.1V,  
CC  
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. This pin should be floated.  
CLKOUT (Pin 19): In forced continuous mode, spread  
spectrum, and synchronization modes, the CLKOUT pin  
will provide a ~200ns wide pulse at the switch frequency.  
The low and high levels of the CLKOUT pin are ground and  
INTVCC respectively, and the drive strength of the CLKOUT  
pin is several hundred ohms. In Burst Mode operation,  
the CLKOUT pin will be low. Float this pin if the CLKOUT  
function is not used.  
GND (Pins 3, 16, Exposed Pad Pins 25–28): Ground.  
Place the negative terminal of the input capacitor as close  
to the GND pins as possible. The exposed pads should  
be soldered to the PCB for good thermal performance. If  
necessary due to manufacturing limitations Pins 25 to 28  
may be left disconnected, however thermal performance  
will be degraded.  
SYNC/MODE (Pin 20): For the LT8640S/LT8643S,  
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) Forced Continuous mode  
(FCM). This mode offers fast transient response and  
full frequency operation over a wide load range. Float  
this pin for FCM. When floating, pin leakage currents  
should be <1µA. 3) Spread spectrum mode. Tie this pin  
NC (Pins 4, 15): No Connect. This pin is not connected  
to internal circuitry and can be tied anywhere on the PCB,  
typically ground.  
V
(Pins 5, 6, 13, 14): The V pins supply current to  
IN  
IN  
the LT8640S/LT8643S internal circuitry and to the internal  
topside power switch. These pins must be tied together  
and be locally bypassed with a capacitor of 2.2µF or more.  
Be sure to place the positive terminal of the input capaci-  
high to INTV (~3.4V) or an external supply of 3V to  
CC  
tor as close as possible to the V pins, and the negative  
capacitor terminal as close as possible to the GND pins.  
4V for forced continuous mode with spread-spectrum  
modulation. 4) Synchronization mode. Drive this pin with  
a clock source to synchronize to an external frequency.  
During synchronization the part will operate in forced  
continuous mode.  
IN  
BST (Pin 7): This pin is used to provide a drive voltage,  
higher than the input voltage, to the topside power switch.  
This pin should be floated.

LT8640S/LT8643S  
pin FuncTions  
TR/SS (Pin 21): Output Tracking and Soft-Start Pin. This  
pin allows user control of output voltage ramp rate during  
start-up. For the LT8640S, a TR/SS voltage below 0.97V  
forces it to regulate the FB pin to equal the TR/SS pin volt-  
age. When TR/SS is above 0.97V, the tracking function is  
disabled and the internal reference resumes control of the  
error amplifier. For the LT8643S, a TR/SS voltage below  
1.6V forces it to regulate the FB pin to a function of the  
TR/SS pin voltage. See plot in the Typical Performance  
Characteristics section. When TR/SS is above 1.6V, the  
tracking function is disabled and the internal reference  
resumes control of the error amplifier. An internal 1.9µA  
GND (Pin 22, LT8640S Only): Ground. Connect this pin  
to system ground and to the ground plane.  
VC (Pin 22, LT8643S Only): The VC pin is the output of the  
internal error amplifier. The voltage on this pin controls  
the peak switch current. Tie an RC network from this pin  
to ground to compensate the control loop.  
PG (Pin 23): The PG pin is the open-drain output of an  
internal comparator. PG remains low until the FB pin is  
within 8% of the final regulation voltage, and there are  
no fault conditions. PG is also pulled low when EN/UV is  
below 1V, INTV has fallen too low, V is too low, or

LT8640S/LT8643S  
operaTion  
The LT8640S/LT8643S is a monolithic, constant fre-  
quency, current mode step-down DC/DC converter. An  
oscillator, with frequency set using a resistor on the RT  
pin, turns on the internal top power switch at the begin-  
ning of each clock cycle. Current in the inductor then  
increases until the top switch current comparator trips  
and turns off the top power switch. The peak inductor  
current at which the top switch turns off is controlled  
by the voltage on the internal VC node. The error ampli-  
fier servos the VC node by comparing the voltage on the  
The LT8640S/LT8643S can operate in forced continuous  
mode (FCM) for fast transient response and full frequency  
operation over a wide load range. When in FCM the oscil-  
lator operates continuously and positive SW transitions  
are aligned to the clock. Negative inductor current is  
allowed. The LT8640S/LT8643S can sink current from  
the output and return this charge to the input in this mode,  
improving load step transient response.  
To improve EMI/EMC, the LT8640S/LT8643S can oper-  
ate in spread spectrum mode. This feature varies the  
clock with a triangular frequency modulation of +20%.  
For example, if the LT8640S/LT8643S’s frequency is pro-  
grammed to switch at 2MHz, spread spectrum mode will  
modulate the oscillator between 2MHz and 2.4MHz. The

FB  
current increases it causes a reduction in the feedback  
voltage relative to the reference leading the error amplifier  
to raise the VC voltage until the average inductor current  
matches the new load current. When the top power switch  
turns off, the synchronous power switch turns on until the  
next clock cycle begins or inductor current falls to zero.  
If overload conditions result in more than 10A flowing  
through the bottom switch, the next clock cycle will be  
delayed until switch current returns to a safe level.  
SYNC/MODE pin should be tied high to INTV (~3.4V) or  
CC  
an external supply of 3V to 4V to enable spread spectrum  
modulation with forced continuous mode.  
To improve efficiency across all loads, supply current to

biased at 3.3V or above. Else, the internal circuitry will  
The “S” in LT8640S/LT8643S refers to the second genera-  
tion silent switcher technology. This technology allows  
fast switching edges for high efficiency at high switching  
frequencies, while simultaneously achieving good EMI/  
EMC performance. This includes the integration of ceramic  
capacitors into the package for V , BST, and INTV (see  
Block Diagram). These caps keep all the fast AC current  
loops small, which improves EMI/EMC performance.

IN  
to V  
if the LT8640S/LT8643S output is programmed  
OUT  
at 3.3V to 25V.  
The VC pin optimizes the loop compensation of the  
switching regulator based on the programmed switch-  
ing frequency, allowing for a fast transient response. The  
VC pin also enables current sharing and a CLKOUT pin  
enables synchronizing other regulators to the LT8643S.  
IN  
CC  
If the EN/UV pin is low, the LT8640S/LT8643S is shut  
down and draws 1µA from the input. When the EN/UV pin  
is above 1V, the switching regulator will become active.  
Comparators monitoring the FB pin voltage will pull the PG  
pin low if the output voltage varies more than 8% (typi-  
cal) from the set point, or if a fault condition is present.  
To optimize efficiency at light loads, the LT8640S/LT8643S  
operates in Burst Mode operation in light load situations.  
Between bursts, all circuitry associated with controlling  
the output switch is shut down, reducing the input supply  
current to 1.7µA (LT8640S) or 230µA (LT8643S with BIAS  
= 0). In a typical application, 2.5µA (LT8640S) or 120µA  
The oscillator reduces the LT8640S/LT8643S’s operat-  
ing frequency when the voltage at the FB pin is low. This  
frequency foldback helps to control the inductor current  
when the output voltage is lower than the programmed  
value which occurs during start-up or overcurrent condi-  
tions. When a clock is applied to the SYNC/MODE pin, the  
SYNC/MODE pin is floated, or held DC high, the frequency  
foldback is disabled and the switching frequency will slow  
down only during overcurrent conditions.  
(LT8643S with BIAS = 5V ) will be consumed from the  
OUT  
input supply when regulating with no load. The SYNC/  
MODE pin is tied low to use Burst Mode operation and can  
be floated to use forced continuous mode (FCM). If a clock  
is applied to the SYNC/MODE pin, the part will synchronize  
to an external clock frequency and operate in FCM.

applicaTions inForMaTion  
The exposed pads on the bottom of the package should be  
soldered to the PCB to reduce thermal resistance to ambi-  
ent. To keep thermal resistance low, extend the ground  
plane from GND as much as possible, and add thermal  
vias to additional ground planes within the circuit board  
and on the bottom side.  
to optimize the quiescent current performance at light  
loads, the current in the feedback resistor divider must  
be minimized as it appears to the output as load current.  
In order to achieve higher light load efficiency, more  
energy must be delivered to the output during the  
single small pulses in Burst Mode operation such that  
the LT8640S/LT8643S can stay in sleep mode longer  
between each pulse. This can be achieved by using  
a larger value inductor (i.e., 4.7µH), and should be  
considered independent of switching frequency when  
choosing an inductor. For example, while a lower induc-  
tor value would typically be used for a high switching  
frequency application, if high light load efficiency is  
desired, a higher inductor value should be chosen. See  
curve in Typical Performance Characteristics.  
Achieving Ultralow Quiescent Current (Burst Mode  
Operation)  
To enhance efficiency at light loads, the LT8640S/LT8643S  
operates in low ripple Burst Mode operation, which keeps  
the output capacitor charged to the desired output voltage  
while minimizing the input quiescent current and minimiz-  
ing output voltage ripple. In Burst Mode operation the  
LT8640S/LT8643S delivers single small pulses of current  
to the output capacitor followed by sleep periods where  
the output power is supplied by the output capacitor.  
While in sleep mode the LT8640S consumes 1.7µA and  
the LT8643S consumes 230µA.  
While in Burst Mode operation the current limit of the top  
switch is approximately 900mA (as shown in Figure 3),  
resulting in low output voltage ripple. Increasing the out-  
put capacitance will decrease output ripple proportionally.  
As load ramps upward from zero the switching frequency  
will increase but only up to the switching frequency  
programmed by the resistor at the RT pin as shown in  
Figure 2.  
As the output load decreases, the frequency of single cur-  
rent pulses decreases (see Figure 2) and the percentage  
of time the LT8640S/LT8643S is in sleep mode increases,  
resulting in much higher light load efficiency than for typi  
-
cal converters. By maximizing the time between pulses,  
the LT8640S’s quiescent current approaches 2.5µA for a  
typical application when there is no output load. Therefore,  
The output load at which the LT8640S/LT8643S reaches  
the programmed frequency varies based on input voltage,  
output voltage and inductor choice. To select low ripple  
Burst Mode operation, tie the SYNC/MODE pin below 0.4V  
(this can be ground or a logic low output).

MIN  
The LT8640S/LT8643S can operate in forced continu-  
ous mode (FCM) for fast transient response and full  
frequency operation over a wide load range. When in  
FCM, the oscillator operates continuously and positive  
SW transitions are aligned to the clock. Negative induc-  
tor current is allowed at light loads or under large tran-  
sient conditions. The LT8640S/LT8643S can sink cur-  
rent from the output and return this charge to the input  
in this mode, improving load step transient response  
(see Figure 4). At light loads, FCM operation is less effi-  
cient than Burst Mode operation, but may be desirable  
in applications where it is necessary to keep switching  
harmonics out of the signal band. FCM must be used if  
the output is required to sink current. To enable FCM,  
float the SYNC/MODE pin. Leakage current on this pin  
should be <1µA. See Block Diagram for internal pull-up  
and pull-down resistance.

Spread Spectrum Mode  
The LT8640S/LT8643S features spread spectrum opera-  
tion to further reduce EMI/EMC emissions. To enable  
spread spectrum operation, the SYNC/MODE pin should  
be tied high to INTV (~3.4V)or an external supply of 3V  
CC  
to 4V. In this mode, triangular frequency modulation is  
used to vary the switching frequency between the value  
programmed by RT to approximately 20% higher than  
that value. The modulation frequency is approximately  
3kHz. For example, when the LT8640S/LT8643S is pro-  
grammed to 2MHz, the frequency will vary from 2MHz to  
2.4MHz at a 3kHz rate. When spread spectrum operation  
is selected, Burst Mode operation is disabled, and the part  
will run in forced continuous mode.  
FCM is disabled if the VIN pin is held above 37V or if  
the FB pin is held greater than 8% above the feedback  
reference voltage. FCM is also disabled during soft-start  
until the soft-start capacitor is fully charged. When FCM  
is disabled in these ways, negative inductor current is  
not allowed and the LT8640S/LT8643S operates in pulse-  
skipping mode.  
Synchronization  
To synchronize the LT8640S/LT8643S oscillator to an  
external frequency, connect a square wave to the SYNC/  
MODE pin. The square wave amplitude should have val-  
leys that are below 0.4V and peaks above 1.5V (up to 6V)  
with a minimum on-time and off-time of 50ns.  
I
LOAD  
The LT8640S/LT8643S will not enter Burst Mode opera-  
tion at low output loads while synchronized to an external  
clock, but instead will run forced continuous mode to  
maintain regulation. The LT8640S/LT8643S may be syn-  
chronized over a 200kHz to 3MHz range. The RT resistor  
should be chosen to set the LT8640S/LT8643S switching  
frequency equal to or below the lowest synchronization  
input. For example, if the synchronization signal will be  
500kHz and higher, the RT should be selected for 500kHz.  
The slope compensation is set by the RT value, while  
the minimum slope compensation required to avoid sub-  
harmonic oscillations is established by the inductor size,  
input voltage and output voltage. Since the synchroniza-  
tion frequency will not change the slopes of the inductor  
current waveform, if the inductor is large enough to avoid

where f is the switching frequency of the LT8640S/  
SW  
LT8643S, and L is the value of the inductor. Therefore, the  
maximum output current that the LT8640S/LT8643S will  
deliver depends on the switch current limit, the inductor  
value, and the input and output voltages. The inductor  
value may have to be increased if the inductor ripple cur-  
rent does not allow sufficient maximum output current  
Input Capacitors  
The VIN of the LT8640S/LT8643S should be bypassed  
with at least three ceramic capacitors for best perfor-  
mance. Two small ceramic capacitors of <1µF can be  
placed close to the part; one on each side of the device  
(C  
, C  
). These capacitors should be 0402 or 0603  
in OsPizTe1. FOoPrTa2utomotive applications requiring 2 series  
input capacitors, two small 0402 or 0603 may be placed  
(I  
) given the switching frequency, and maximum  
inOpUuTt(vMoAlXta)ge used in the desired application.  
In order to achieve higher light load efficiency, more  
energy must be delivered to the output during the sin-  
gle small pulses in Burst Mode operation such that the  
LT8640S/LT8643S can stay in sleep mode longer between  
each pulse. This can be achieved by using a larger value  
inductor (i.e., 4.7µH), and should be considered indepen-  
dent of switching frequency when choosing an inductor.  
For example, while a lower inductor value would typi-  
cally be used for a high switching frequency application,  
if high light load efficiency is desired, a higher inductor  
value should be chosen. See curve in Typical Performance  
Characteristics.

or C  
. See layout section for  
OPT1  
OPT2  
Note that larger input capacitance is required when a lower  
switching frequency is used. If the input power source has  
high impedance, or there is significant inductance due to  
long wires or cables, additional bulk capacitance may be  
necessary. This can be provided with a low performance  
electrolytic capacitor.  
The optimum inductor for a given application may dif-  
fer from the one indicated by this design guide. A larger  
value inductor provides a higher maximum load current  
and reduces the output voltage ripple. For applications  
requiring smaller load currents, the value of the inductor  
may be lower and the LT8640S/LT8643S may operate  
with higher ripple current. This allows use of a physically  
smaller inductor, or one with a lower DCR resulting in  
higher efficiency. Be aware that low inductance may result  
in discontinuous mode operation, which further reduces  
maximum load current.  
A ceramic input capacitor combined with trace or cable  
inductance forms a high quality (under damped) tank cir-  
cuit. If the LT8640S/LT8643S circuit is plugged into a  
live supply, the input voltage can ring to twice its nominal  
value, possibly exceeding the LT8640S/LT8643S’s volt-  
age rating. This situation is easily avoided (see Linear  
Technology Application Note 88).

Output Capacitor and Output Ripple  
Afinalprecautionregardingceramiccapacitorsconcernsthe  
maximuminputvoltageratingofthe LT8640S/LT8643S. As  
previously mentioned, a ceramic input capacitor com-  
bined with trace or cable inductance forms a high quality  
(underdamped) tank circuit. If the LT8640S/LT8643S  
circuit is plugged into a live supply, the input voltage  
can ring to twice its nominal value, possibly exceeding  
the LT8640S/LT8643S’s rating. This situation is easily  
avoided (see Linear Technology Application Note 88).  
The output capacitor has two essential functions. Along  
with the inductor, it filters the square wave generated by  
the LT8640S/LT8643S to produce the DC output. In this  
role it determines the output ripple, thus low impedance at  
the switching frequency is important. The second function  
is to store energy in order to satisfy transient loads and  
stabilize the LT8640S/LT8643S’s control loop. Ceramic  
capacitors have very low equivalent series resistance  
(ESR) and provide the best ripple performance. For good  
starting values, see the Typical Applications section.  
Enable Pin  
The LT8640S/LT8643S is in shutdown when the EN pin is  
low and active when the pin is high. The rising threshold  
of the EN comparator is 1.0V, with 40mV of hysteresis.  
The EN pin can be tied to V if the shutdown feature is  
not used, or tied to a logicIlNevel if shutdown control is  
required.  
Use X5R or X7R types. This choice will provide low out-  
put ripple and good transient response. Transient perfor-  
mance can be improved with a higher value output capaci-  
tor and the addition of a feedforward capacitor placed  
between V  
and FB. Increasing the output capacitance  
OUT  
will also decrease the output voltage ripple. A lower value  
of output capacitor can be used to save space and cost  
but transient performance will suffer and may cause loop  
instability. See the Typical Applications in this data sheet  
for suggested capacitor values.  
Adding a resistor divider from V to EN programs the  
IN  
LT8640S/LT8643S to regulate the output only when V is  
IN  
above a desired voltage (see the Block Diagram). Typically,  
this threshold, V  
, is used in situations where the  
IN(EN)  
input supply is current limited, or has a relatively high  
source resistance. A switching regulator draws constant  
power from the source, so source current increases as  
source voltage drops. This looks like a negative resistance  
load to the source and can cause the source to current  
limit or latch low under low source voltage conditions. The  
When choosing a capacitor, special attention should be  
given to the data sheet to calculate the effective capaci-  
tance under the relevant operating conditions of voltage  
bias and temperature. A physically larger capacitor or one  
with a higher voltage rating may be required.  
V
threshold prevents the regulator from operating  
IN(EN)  
Ceramic Capacitors  
at source voltages where the problems might occur. This  
threshold can be adjusted by setting the values R3 and  
R4 such that they satisfy the following equation:  
Ceramic capacitors are small, robust and have very low  
ESR. However, ceramic capacitors can cause problems  
when used with the LT8640S/LT8643S due to their  
piezoelectric nature. When in Burst Mode operation, the  
LT8640S/LT8643S’s switching frequency depends on  
the load current, and at very light loads the LT8640S/  
LT8643S can excite the ceramic capacitor at audio fre-  
quencies, generating audible noise. Since the LT8640S/  
LT8643S operates at a lower current limit during Burst  
Mode operation, the noise is typically very quiet to a  
casual ear. If this is unacceptable, use a high performance  
tantalum or electrolytic capacitor at the output. Low noise  
ceramic capacitors are also available.

ing will not stop until the input falls slightly below VIN(EN)

When operating in Burst Mode operation for light load  
currents, the current through the VIN(EN) resistor network  
can easily be greater than the supply current consumed  
by the LT8640S/LT8643S. Therefore, the V  
resis-  
IN(EN)  
tors should be large to minimize their effect on efficiency  
at low loads.

INTV Regulator  
A zero is required and comes from a resistor R in series  
CC  
C
with C . This simple model works well as long as the value  
of theCinductor is not too high and the loop crossover  
frequency is much lower than the switching frequency. A  
phase lead capacitor (C ) across the feedback divider can  
be used to improve thePtrLansient response and is required  
to cancel the parasitic pole caused by the feedback node  
to ground capacitance.  
An internal low dropout (LDO) regulator produces the  
3.4V supply from VIN that powers the drivers and the  
internal bias circuitry. The INTVCC can supply enough cur-  
rent for the LT8640S/LT8643S’s circuitry. To improve  
efficiency the internal LDO can also draw current from the  
BIAS pin when the BIAS pin is at 3.1V or higher. Typically  
the BIAS pin can be tied to the output of the LT8640S/  
LT8643S, or can be tied to an external supply of 3.3V or  
LT8643S  
above. If BIAS is connected to a supply other than V  
,
be sure to bypass with a local ceramic capacitor. IfOtUhTe

For output tracking applications, TR/ SS can be externally  
driven by another voltage source. For the LT8640S, from  
0V to 0.97V, the TR/SS voltage will override the internal

ing the FB pin voltage to that of TR/SS pin. When TR/SS  
is above 0.97V, tracking is disabled and the feedback

the LT8643S, from 0V to 1.6V, the TR/SS voltage will

ing is disabled and the feedback voltage will regulate to

floating if the function is not needed.  
Output Power Good  
When the LT8640S/LT8643S’s output voltage is within  
the 8% window of the regulation point, the output volt-  
age is considered good and the open-drain PG pin goes  
high impedance and is typically pulled high with an exter-  
nal resistor. Otherwise, the internal pull-down device will  
pull the PG pin low. To prevent glitching both the upper  
and lower thresholds include 0.2% of hysteresis. PG is

Shorted and Reversed Input Protection  
Paralleling (LT8643S Only)  
The LT8640S/LT8643S will tolerate a shorted output.  
Several features are used for protection during output  
short-circuit and brownout conditions. The first is the  
switching frequency will be folded back while the output  
is lower than the set point to maintain inductor current  
control. Second, the bottom switch current is monitored  
such that if inductor current is beyond safe levels switch-  
ing of the top switch will be delayed until such time as the  
inductor current falls to safe levels.  
To increase the possible output current, two LT8643s can  
be connected in parallel to the same output. To do this, the  
VC and FB pins are connected together, and each LT8643’s  
SW node is connected to the common output through its  
own inductor. The CLKOUT pin of one LT8643S should be  
connected to the SYNC/MODE pin of the second LT8643S  
to have both devices operate in the same mode. During  
FCM, spread spectrum, and synchronization modes,  
both devices will operate at the same frequency. Figure 6  
shows an application where two LT8643s are paralleled  
to get one output capable of up to 12A.  
Frequency foldback behavior depends on the state of the  
SYNC pin: If the SYNC pin is low the switching frequency  
will slow while the output voltage is lower than the pro-  
grammed level. If the SYNC pin is connected to a clock  
source, floated or tied high, the LT8640S/LT8643S will stay  
at the programmed frequency without foldback and only  
slow switching if the inductor current exceeds safe levels.

The LT8640S/LT8643S’s internal power switches are

time is determined by how quickly the case temperature

For higher ambient temperatures, care should be taken  
in the layout of the PCB to ensure good heat sinking of  
the LT8640S/LT8643S. The ground pins on the bottom  
of the package should be soldered to a ground plane.  
This ground should be tied to large copper layers below  
with thermal vias; these layers will spread heat dissipated  
by the LT8640S/LT8643S. Placing additional vias can  
reduce thermal resistance further. The maximum load  
current should be derated as the ambient temperature  
approaches the maximum junction rating. Power dissi-  
pation within the LT8640S/LT8643S can be estimated  
by calculating the total power loss from an efficiency  
measurement and subtracting the inductor loss. The die  
temperature is calculated by multiplying the LT8640S/  
LT8643S power dissipation by the thermal resistance  
from junction to ambient.
