LT3685 36V, 2A, 2.4MHz Step-Down Switching Regulator FEATURESDESCRIPTION ■ Wide Input Range: The LT®3685 is an adjustable frequency (200kHz to 2.4MHz) Operation From 3.6V to 36V monolithic step-down switching regulator that accepts Overvoltage Lockout Protects Circuit through input voltages up to 38V operating and 60V maximum. An 60VTransients internal overvoltage protection circuit turns off the power ■ 2A Maximum Output Current switch when VIN is above 38V typical (36V minimum) which ■ Adjustable Switching Frequency: 200kHz to 2.4MHz then allows the part to safely withstand 60V transients. A ■ Low Shutdown Current: IQ < 1μA high effi ciency 0.25 switch is included on the die along ■ Integrated Boost Diode with a boost Schottky diode and the necessary oscillator, ■ Synchronizable Between 250kHz to 2MHz control, and logic circuitry. Current mode topology is ■ Power Good Flag used for fast transient response and good loop stability. ■ Saturating Switch Design: 0.25 On-Resistance The LT3685’s high operating frequency allows the use of ■ 0.790V Feedback Reference Voltage small, low cost inductors and ceramic capacitors result- ■ Output Voltage: 0.79V to 20V ing in low output ripple while keeping total solution size ■ Soft-Start Capability to a minimum. The low current shutdown mode reduces ■ Small 10-Pin Thermally Enhanced MSOP and input supply current to less than 1μA while a resistor and (3mm × 3mm) DFN Packages capacitor on the RUN/SS pin provide a controlled output voltage ramp (soft-start). A power good fl ag signals when APPLICATIONS VOUT reaches 89% of the programmed output voltage. The LT3685 is available in 10-Pin MSOP and 3mm × 3mm DFN ■ Automotive Battery Regulation packages with exposed pads for low thermal resistance. ■ Set Top Box ■ Distributed Supply Regulation , LT, LTC and LTM are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
