Monolithic Dual Tracking
3.5A Step-Down Switching Regulator
The LT
®
3692A is a dual current mode PWM step-down
DC/DC converter with two internal 3.8A switches. Independent
input voltage, shutdown, feedback, soft-start, UVLO current
limit and comparator pins for each channel simplify complex
power supply tracking and sequencing requirements.
To optimize efficiency and component size, both convert
-
ers have a programmable maximum current limit and are
synchronized to either a common external clock input, or
a
resistor
settable fixed 250kHz to 2MHz internal oscillator.
A frequency divider is provided for channel 1 to further
optimize component size. At all frequencies, a 180° phase
relationship between channels is maintained, reducing volt
-
age ripple and component size. A clock output is available
for synchronizing multiple regulators.
Minimum input to output voltage ratios are improved by
allowing the switch to stay on through multiple clock cycles
only switching off when the boost capacitor needs recharg
-
ing. Independent channel operation can be programmed
using the SHDN pin. Disabling both converters reduces
the total quiescent current to <10µA.
The L
T3692A is an improved version of the L
T3692 with
reduced minimum on-time.
