The LT®8640/LT8640-1 step-down regulator features Si-lent Switcher architecture designed to minimize EMI/EMC emissions while delivering high efficiency at frequencies up to 3MHz. An ultralow 2.5μA quiescent current—with the output in full regulation—enables applications requiring highest efficiency at very small load currents.The LT86 40/LT86 40-1 allows high VIN to low VOUT conversion at high frequency with a fast minimum top switch on-time of 30ns. The SYNC/MODE pin selects between Burst Mode operation, spread spectrum mode, synchronization to an external clock, and either pulse-skipping (LT86 40) or forced continuous mode (LT86 40-1 ).
