TYPICAL APPLICATION

APPLICATIONS

36V, 2A, 2.4MHz Step-Down

Switching Regulator

monolithic step-down switching regulator that accepts

input voltages up to 38V operating and 60V maximum. An

internal overvoltage protection circuit turns off the power

then allows the part to safely withstand 60V transients. A

high efficiency 0.25 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.

The LT3685’s high operating frequency allows the use of

small, low cost inductors and ceramic capacitors result-

ing in low output ripple while keeping total solution size

to a minimum. The low current shutdown mode 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

LT3685 is available in 10-Pin MSOP and 3mm

× 3mm DFN

packages with exposed pads for low thermal resistance.
