Monolithic Dual Tracking
3.5A Step-Down
Switching Regulator
The LT
®
3692 is a dual current mode PWM step-down
DC/DC converter with two internal 3.8A switches. Indepen-
dent input voltage, shutdown, feedback, soft-start, current
limit and comparator pins for each channel simplify com-
plex power supply tracking and sequencing requirements.
T
o 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 2.25MHz 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 voltage 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 to <10µA.
