DESCRIPTION

The LT?8686S is a highly flexible, four-channel, current

mode, monolithic regulator able to power a wide range

of automotive and industrial applications while occupying

minimal board space.

The LT8686S combines two 42V capable 2A buck regulators

with two 8V capable 2A buck regulators. The two

42V regulators may be combined to provide up to 4A of

output current using a single inductor. Similarly, the two

8V regulators may be combined to provide up to 4A of

output current using a single inductor. Individual channel

enable, track/soft-start and power good pins provide flexible

power supply sequencing and control. The LT8686S

features a Silent Switcher 2 architecture, plus selectable

spread spectrum mode, to provide ultralow EMI/EMC

emissions while delivering high efficiency at high switching

frequencies.

The LT8686S incorporates thermal shutdown and individual

channel cycle-by-cycle current limit for short-circuit

protection and robust operation.
