LT3686 37V/1.2A Step-Down Regulator in 3mm × 3mm DFN FEATURES
■
DESCRIPTION
The LT®3686 is a current mode PWM step-down DC/DC converter with an internal 1.2A power switch, packaged in 10-lead 3mm × 3mm DFN. The wide input range of 3.6V to 37V makes the LT3686 suitable for regulating power from a wide variety of sources, including 24V industrial supplies and automotive batteries. Its high maximum frequency allows the use of tiny inductors and capacitors, resulting in a very small solution. Operating frequency above the AM band avoids interfering with radio reception, making the LT3686 particularly suitable for automotive applications. Cycle-by-cycle current limit and DA current sense provide protection against fault conditions.
