LT3688
Dual 800mA Step-Down
Switching Regulator with
Power-On Reset and
Watchdog Timer
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LT®3688 is an adjustable frequency (350kHz to
2.2MHz) dual monolithic step-down switching regulator
with two power-on reset timers and a watchdog timer.
The regulator operates off inputs up to 36V. Low ripple
Burst Mode® operation maintains high efficiency at low
output current while keeping output ripple below 25mV in
a typical application, with input quiescent current of just
115μA. Shutdown circuitry reduces input supply current
to less than 1μA while EN/UVLO is pulled low.

QFN Packages
The reset and watchdog timeout periods are both adjust-
able using external capacitors. Tight accuracy specifica-
tions and glitch immunity ensure reliable reset operation
without false triggering. The open collector RST pins will
pull down if the monitored output voltage drops 10%
belowtheprogrammedvalue.TheLT3688watchdogtimer
monitors for watchdog falling edges grouped too close
together or too far apart.
