DESCRIPTIO
FEATURES
The LT®3693 is an adjustable frequency (200kHz to
2.4MHz)monolithicbuckswitchingregulatorthataccepts
■
Wide Input Range: 3.6V to 36V
■
3.5A Maximum Output Current
■
Adjustable Switching Frequency: 200kHz to 2.4MHz
Low Shutdown Current: I < 1μA
Integrated Boost Diode
Synchronizable Between 250kHz to 2MHz
Power Good Flag
Saturating Switch Design: 95m On-Resistance
0.790V Feedback Reference Voltage
Output Voltage: 0.79V to 30V
Thermal Protection
input voltages up to 36V. A high efficiency 95m 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. 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
