LT3507A Triple Monolithic Step-Down Regulator with LDO FeaturesDescription n Wide Input Range: 4V to 36V The LT®3507A is a triple, current mode, DC/DC converter n One 2.7A and Two 1.8A Output Switching with internal power switches and a low dropout regulator. Regulators with Internal Power Switches The switching converters are step-down converters capable n Low Dropout Linear Regulator with External of generating one 2.7A output and two 1.8A outputs. All Transistor three converters are synchronized to a single oscillator. n Antiphase Switching Reduces Ripple The 2.7A output runs with opposite phase to the other two n Independent Run, Tracking/Soft-Start, and Power converters, reducing input ripple current. Each regulator Good Indicators Ease Supply Sequencing has independent shutdown and soft-start circuits, and n Uses Small Inductors and Ceramic Capacitors generates a power good signal when its output is in regu- n Adjustable, 250kHz to 2.5MHz Switching Frequency, lation, easing power supply sequencing and interfacing Synchronizable Over the Full Range with microcontrollers and DSPs. n User Programmable Overvoltage and Undervoltage The switching frequency is set with a single resistor yielding Lockouts a range of 250kHz to 2.5MHz. The high switching frequency n Thermally Enhanced, 38-Lead TSSOP and allows the use of small inductors and capacitors resulting 5mm × 7mm QFN Packages in a very small triple output supply. The constant switching applications frequency, combined with low impedance ceramic capaci- tors, results in low, predictable output ripple. Frequency n Automotive foldback and thermal shutdown provide protection against n Industrial Supplies fault conditions.
