Description
LT8631
100V, 1A Synchronous
Micropower Step-Down Regulator
Demonstration circuit 2110A is a monolithic step-down
converter featuring LT
®
8631. The demo board is designed
for 5V output from a 6.5V to 100V input at 400kHz switch-
ing frequency. The wide input range makes it suitable for
regulating power from a wide variety of sources, includ-
ing automotive, industrial systems and telecom supplies.
The LT8631 is a compact, high efficiency synchronous
monolithic step-down switching regulator. The power
switch, compensation and other necessary circuits are
inside of the LT8631 to minimize external components
and simplify design.
The LT8631 switching frequency can be programmed
either via oscillator resistor or external clock over a
100kHz to 1MHz range. The SYNC pin on the demo board
is grounded (JP1 at Burst Mode
®
position) 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. If the pulse-skipping operation
is required, move JP1 to fixed frequency position. Figure 1
shows the efficiency of the circuit at 12V input at the Burst
Mode selection.
The demo board has an EMI filter installed. The EMI per-
formance of the board (with EMI filter) is shown in Figure
2. The red line in Figure 2 is CISPR25 Class 5 peak limit.
The figure shows that the circuit passes the test with a
wide margin. To achieve EMI/EMC performance as shown L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology, Burst Mode and the Linear logo are registered trademarks
of Linear Technology Corporation. All other trademarks are the property of their respective
owners.
performance summary
in Figure 2, the input EMI filter is required and the input
voltage should be applied at VEMI turret pin, not VIN.
The LT8631 data sheet gives a complete description of
the part, operation and application information. The data
sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo manual
for demo circuit 2110A. The LT8631 is assembled in a
20-lead TSSOP packages. Proper board layout is essential
for maximum thermal and electrical performance. See the
data sheet sections for details.

Quick start proceDure
Demonstration circuit 2110A is easy to set up to evalu-
ate the performance of the LT8631. Refer to Figure 3 for
proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below:
NOTE. When measuring the input or output voltage ripple,
care must be taken to avoid a long ground lead on the
oscilloscope probe. Measure the input or output voltage
ripple by touching the probe tip directly across the VIN
or VOUT and GND terminals. See Figure 4 for the proper
scope technique.
1. Place JP1 on GND position.
2. With power off, connect the input power supply to VEMI
and GND. If the EMI/EMC performance is not important,
the input EMI filter can be bypassed by connecting the
input power supply to VIN and GND.
3. With power off, connect loads from VOUT to GND.
4. Turn on the power at the input.
Make sure that the input voltage does not exceed 100V.
5. Check for the proper output voltages (VOUT = 5V).
NOTE. If there is no output, temporarily disconnect the
load to make sure that the load is not set too high or is
shorted.
6. Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust
the load within the operating ranges and observe the
output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency and
other parameters.
7. An external clock can be added to the SYNC terminal
when SYNC function is used (JP1 on the SYNC posi-
tion). Please ensure that the chosen RT sets the LT8631
switching frequency to 10% below the lowest SYNC
frequency. See the data sheet Synchronization section
for details.
