DESCRIPTIO
FEATURES
TheLT®3681isanadjustablefrequency(300kHzto2.8MHz)
monolithic buck switching regulator that accepts input
voltages up to 34V (36V maximum). A high efficiency
0.18Ω switch is included on the die along with a boost
Schottky diode and the necessary oscillator, control, and
logic circuitry. An undedicated power Schottky diode is
integrated into the LT3681 to minimize the solution size.
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 LT3681 can further enhance low output
current efficiency by drawing bias current from the output
