efficiency at high switching frequencies. This includes
the integration of input 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 LT8638S ideal for noise sensitive
applications and environments.

Wide Input Voltage Range: 2.8V to 42V
10A Maximum Continuous, 12A Peak Transient 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 25ns minimum on-time allows high step
down ratios even at high switching frequencies. External
compensation via the VC pin allows for fast transient
response. PolyPhase operation allows multiple LT8638S
regulators to run with interleaving phase shift to provide
more output current.

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