Product Details
The LT3680 is an adjustable frequency (200kHz to 2.4MHz) monolithic buck switching regulator that accepts input voltages up to 36V. A high efficiency 95mΩ switch is included on the die along with a boost Schottky diode and the necessary oscillator, control, and logic circuitry. Current mode topology is used for fast transient response and good loop stability. Low ripple Burst Mode® operation maintains high efficiency at low output currents while keeping output ripple below 15mV in a typical application. In addition, the LT3680 can further enhance low output current efficiency by drawing bias current from the output when VOUT is above 3V. Shutdown reduces input supply current to less than 1µA while a resistor and capacitor on the RUN/SS pin provide a controlled output voltage ramp (soft-start). A power good flag signals when VOUT reaches 91% of the programmed output voltage. The LT3680 is available in 10-Pin MSOP and 3mm × 3mm DFN packages with exposed pads for low thermal resistance.
