DESCRIPTION
TheA8586 is a high frequency step-down switching regulator
withanintegratedhigh-sidepowerMOSFET.Itprovidesup3.5
Aoutputcurrent.TheA8586canachievefasttransientresponse
• Output voltage adjustable from 0.8 to 30 V
• Maximized duty cycle for low dropout operation
• Low 30 μA operational quiescent current
• 150 mΩ integrated MOSFET switch
• Programmable switching frequency up to 4 MHz
• Improved EMC with frequency dithering (A8586 and
A8586-2) and controlled switch node rise and fall times
• Ceramic capacitor stable
usingcurrent-modecontrolandsimpleexternalcompensation.
The wide input range of 3.8 to 36 V makes theA8586 suitable
for a wide range of step-down applications, including those in
an automotive input environment. Battery-driven applications
benefit from the low 30 μA operational quiescent current.
TheA8586 maintains high efficiency across a wide load range
by the use of pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) as the load
reduces. This in turn reduces switching and gate driver losses
at light load. A8586-1 and A8586-2 are options that disable
the PFM function.A8586-1 also disables the dithering feature.
These can be useful when low output ripple and minimum
output capacitance is required.

APPLICATIONS
• High-Voltage Power
Conversion
• Distributed Power
Systems
Frequency foldback helps to prevent inductor current runaway
during startup and provides enhanced dropout performance.
Extensive protection features of the A8586 include pulse-by-

shortfreewheelingdiodeprotection,BOOTopen/shortvoltage
protection, VIN undervoltage lockout, and thermal shutdown.

The A8586 and A8586-2 are designed to aid in EMC/EMI
design by including frequency dithering, soft freewheel diode
turn-off, and well controlled switch node slew rates. A4 MHz
oscillator allows the A8586 to switch outside EMI sensitive
frequencies bands such as the AM band or ADSL bands.
