LT8610ABEMSE#PBF datasheet by Linear Technology

LT8610ABEMSE#PBF Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the LT8610 can handle?
  The LT8610 can handle input voltages up to 42V, but it's recommended to keep the input voltage below 36V for optimal performance and reliability.
• How do I optimize the layout for the LT8610 to minimize EMI?
  To minimize EMI, keep the input and output capacitors close to the IC, use a solid ground plane, and keep the high-current paths short and direct. Also, use a shielded inductor and orient it to minimize radiation.
• What is the recommended output capacitor type and value for the LT8610?
  A low-ESR ceramic capacitor with a value of 10uF to 22uF is recommended for the output filter. The capacitor should be placed close to the output pin of the IC.
• How do I set the switching frequency of the LT8610?
  The switching frequency of the LT8610 is set by the RT pin. A resistor connected from the RT pin to GND sets the switching frequency. The recommended value is 10kΩ for a 1MHz switching frequency.
• What is the maximum output current of the LT8610?
  The maximum output current of the LT8610 is 2A. However, the output current should be derated based on the input voltage, output voltage, and ambient temperature.
