700mA Step-Down  
Regulator with Power-On Reset  
and Watchdog Timer  
FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
TheLT®3689isanadjustablefrequency(350kHzto2.2MHz)  
monolithicstep-downswitchingregulatorwithapower-on  
reset and watchdog timer. The regulator operates from  
inputs up to 36V and withstands transients up to 60V. Low  
ripple Burst Mode® operation maintains high efficiency at  
lowoutputcurrentwhilekeepingoutputripplebelow15mV  
in a typical application, with input quiescent current of just  
85μA. Shutdown circuitry reduces input supply current to  
less than 1μA while EN/UVLO is pulled low. Using a resis-  
tor divider on the EN/UVLO pin provides a programmable  
undervoltage lockout. Current limit, frequency foldback  
and thermal shutdown provide fault protection.

The reset and watchdog timeout periods are indepen-  
dentlyadjustableusingexternalcapacitors.Tightaccuracy  
specifications and glitch immunity ensure reliable reset  
operation of a system without false triggering. The open  
collector RST will pull down if output voltage drops 10%  
below the programmed value. The watchdog timer is  
pin-selectable for window or timeout modes. In timeout  
mode, WDO pulls low if too long of a period passes before  
a watchdog transition is detected. In window mode, the  
LT3689 monitors for WDI falling edges grouped too close  
together or too far apart.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings  
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute  
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device  
reliability and lifetime.  
Note 4: Current limit is guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static  
test. Slope compensation reduces current limit at higher duty cycles.  
Note 5: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended  
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction  
temperature will exceed 150°C when overtemperature protection is active.  
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction  
temperature may impair device reliability.  
Note 2: Absolute maximum voltage at V and EN/UVLO pins is 60V for  
IN  
nonrepetitive 1 second transients, and 36V for continuous operation.  
Note 3: The LT3689E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications  
from 0°C to 125°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C  
to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,  
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The  
LT3689I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction  
temperature range. The LT3689H is guaranteed over the full –40°C to  
150°C operating junction temperature range. High junction temperatures  
degrade operating lifetimes. Operating lifetime is derated at junction  
temperatures greater than 125°C.  
Note 6: The output of RST and WDO has a weak pull-up to V  
of  
OUT  
typically 1μA. However, external pull-up resistors may be used when faster  
rise times are required or for V higher than V  
.
OUT  
OH  
Note 7: Polarity specification for all currents into pins is positive. All  
voltages are referenced to GND unless otherwise specified.  
Note 8: For the LT3689-5, V  
is set to 5.5V to ensure the switching.

OPERATION  
The LT3689 is a constant-frequency, current mode step-  
down regulator with a watchdog and a reset timer that  
allows microprocessor supervisory functions. Operation  
can be best understood by referring to the Block Diagram.

The LT3689 has a power-on reset (POR) comparator that  
monitors the regulated output voltage. If the output volt-

the regulation value, a reset timer is started and RST is

Thewatchdogtypicallymonitorsamicroprocessor’sactiv-  
ity. The watchdog can be enabled or disabled by applying  
a logic signal to the WDE pin. The watchdog can be oper-  
ated in either timeout or window mode by applying a logic  
signaltotheW/Tpin.Intimeoutmode,themicroprocessor  
is required to change the logic state of the WDI pin on a  
periodic basis in order to clear the watchdog timer and to  
prevent the WDO from going low. In window mode, the  
watchdogtimerrequiressuccessivenegativeedgesonthe  
WDI pin to come within a programmed time window to  
keep WDO from going low. Therefore, in window mode, if  
the time between the two negative WDI edges is too short  
or too long, then the WDO pin will be pulled low. When the  
WDO pin goes low, either in timeout or in window mode,  
the reset timer turns on and keeps the WDO pin low. The  
WDO pin will go high again once the reset timer expires or  
the RST pin goes low when the output voltage falls 10%  
below the regulation value. Both the timeout and window  
Aninternalregulatorprovidespowertothecontrolcircuitry.  
The bias regulator normally draws current from the V  
IN  
pin, but if the OUT pin is connected to an external volt-  
age higher than 3V, bias current will be drawn from the  
external source (typically the regulated output voltage).  
This improves efficiency. The OUT pin also provides a  
current path to the internal boost diode that charges up  
theboostcapacitor. Theswitchdriveroperateseitherfrom  
the V or from the BST pin. An external capacitor is used  
IN  
to generate a voltage at the BST pin that is higher than  
the V supply. This allows the driver to fully saturate the  
IN  
internal bipolar NPN power switch for efficient operation.  
To further optimize efficiency, the LT3689 automatically  
switches to Burst Mode operation in light load situations.  
Between bursts, all circuitry associated with controlling  
the output switch is shut down, reducing the input sup-  
ply current to 85μA in a typical application. The oscillator  
reduces the LT3689’s operating frequency when the volt-  
age at the FB pin is low. This frequency foldback helps to  
control the output current during start-up and overload  
conditions.

Operating Frequency Tradeoffs  
Selection of the operating frequency is a tradeoff between  
efficiency, component size and maximum input voltage.  
The advantage of high frequency operation is that smaller  
inductor and capacitor values may be used. The disad-  
vantages are lower efficiency, and narrower input voltage

and operate with a higher ripple current. This allows the  
use of a physically smaller inductor, or one with a lower  
DCR resulting in higher efficiency. There are graphs in  
the Typical Performance Characteristics section of this  
data sheet that show the maximum load current as a  
function of input voltage for several popular output volt-  
ages. Low inductance may result in discontinuous mode  
operation, which is okay but further reduces maximum  
load current. For details of maximum output current and  
discontinuous mode operation, see Linear Technology

Bypass the input of the LT3689 circuit with a ceramic  
capacitor of an X7R or X5R type. Y5V types have poor  
performance over temperature and applied voltage, and  
should not be used. The minimum value of input capaci-  
tance depends on the switching frequency. Use an input  
capacitor of 1μF or more for switching frequencies be-  
tween 1MHz to 2.2MHz, and 2.2μF or more for frequen-  
cies lower than 1MHz. If the input power source has high  
impedance, or there is significant inductance due to long  
wires or cables, additional bulk capacitance may be nec-  
essary. This can be provided with a lower performance  
electrolytic capacitor. Step-down regulators draw current  
from the input supply in pulses with very fast rise and  
fall times. The input capacitor is required to reduce the  
resulting voltage ripple at the LT3689 input and to force  
thisveryhighfrequencyswitchingcurrentintoatightlocal  
loop, minimizing EMI. A ceramic capacitor is capable of  
this task, but only if it is placed close to the LT3689 and

Ceramic capacitors are small, robust and have very low

when used with the LT3689 due to their piezoelectric  
nature. When in Burst Mode operation, the LT3689’s  
switching frequency depends on the load current, and at  
very light loads the LT3689 can excite the ceramic capaci-  
tor at audio frequencies, generating audible noise. Since  
the LT3689 operates at a lower current limit during Burst

Capacitor C3 and the internal boost Schottky diode (see

range the boost circuit. The BST pin must be more than  
2.3V above the SW pin for best efficiency. For outputs of  
3V and above, the standard circuit (Figure 6a) is best. For  
outputs between 2.8V and 3V, use a 0.47μF boost capaci-  
tor. A 2.5V output presents a special case because it is  
marginally adequate to support the boosted drive stage  
while using the internal boost diode. For reliable BST pin  
operation with 2.5V outputs, use a good external Schottky

synchronize when the output voltage is above 90% of its  
regulated voltage. It is therefore necessary to choose a  
large enough inductor value to supply the required output

The LT3689 includes an adjustable watchdog timer that  
monitors a μP’s activity. If a code execution error occurs  
in a μP, the watchdog will detect this error and will set the  
WDO low. This signal can be used to interrupt a routine  
or to reset a microprocessor.

Keep the connection from the resistor to the EN/UVLO  
pin short and make sure the interplane or surface capaci-  
tance to switching nodes is minimized. If high resistor  
valuesareused,theEN/UVLOpinshouldbebypassedwith  
a 1nF capacitor to prevent coupling problems from the  
switch node.  
The watchdog is operated either in timeout or window  
mode. In timeout mode, the microprocessor needs to  
toggle the WDI pin before the watchdog timer expires, to  
keep the WDO pin high. If no WDI pulse (either positive or  
negative)appearsduringtheprogrammedtimeoutperiod,  
then the circuitry will pull WDO low. During normal opera-  
tion, the WDI input signal’s high to low, and low to high  
transitionperiodsshouldbesetlowerthanthewatchdog’s  
programmed time to keep WDO inactive.  
Output Voltage Monitoring  
The LT3689 provides power supply monitoring for micro-  
processor-based systems. The features include power-on  
reset (POR) and watchdog timing.  
In window mode, the watchdog circuitry is triggered by  
negativeedgesontheWDIpin.Thewindowmoderestricts  
the WDI pin’s negative going pulses to appear inside a  
programmed time window (see the Timing Diagram) to  
prevent WDO from going low. If more than two pulses are  
registeredinthewatchdoglowerboundaryperiod,the WDO  
is forced to go low. The WDI edges are ignored while the  
A precise internal voltage reference and glitch immune  
precision POR comparator circuit monitor the LT3689  
output voltage. The switcher’s output voltage must be  
above 90% of programmed value for RST not to be as-  
serted (refer to the Timing Diagram). The LT3689 will  
assert RST during power-up, power-down and brownout  
conditions. Once the output voltage rises above the RST  
threshold, the adjustable reset timer is started and RST is  
released after the reset timeout period. On power-down,  
once the output voltage drops below RST threshold, RST  
is held at a logic low. The reset timer is adjustable using  
external capacitors. The RST pin has a weak pull-up to  
the OUT pin.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Inbothwatchdogmodes,whenWDOisasserted,thereset  
timer is enabled. Any WDI pulses that appear while the  
reset timer is running are ignored. When the reset timer  
expires, the WDO is allowed to go high again. Therefore,  
if no input is applied to the WDI pin, then the watchdog  
circuitry produces a train of pulses on the WDO pin. The  
high time of this pulse train is equal to the timeout period,  
and low time is equal to the reset period. Also, WDO and  
RST cannot be logic low simultaneously. If WDO is low  
and RST goes low, then WDO will go high.  
high. If watchdog is disabled, leaving this pin open is  
acceptable.

this pin open is fine and will put the watchdog in window  
mode. It has a weak pull-down to ground. The WDI pin

The accuracy of the timeout period will be affected by  
capacitor leakage (the nominal charging current is 2μA)  
and capacitor tolerance. A low leakage ceramic capacitor  
is recommended.  
Shorted and Reversed Input Protection  
If an inductor is chosen to prevent excessive saturation,  
the LT3689 will tolerate a shorted output. When operat-  
ing in short-circuit condition, the LT3689 will reduce  
its frequency until the valley current is at a typical value  
of 1.2A (see Figure 13). There is another situation to  
consider in systems where the output will be held high  
when the input to the LT3689 is absent. This may occur in

High Temperature Considerations  
The PCB must provide heat sinking to keep the LT3689  
cool. The Exposed Pad on the bottom of the package  
must be soldered to a ground plane. This ground should  
be tied to large copper layers below with thermal vias;  
these layers will spread the heat dissipated by the LT3689.  
Placing additional vias can reduce thermal resistance  
further. Because of the large output current capability of  
the LT3689, it is possible to dissipate enough heat to raise  
the junction temperature beyond the absolute maximum  
of 125°C (150°C for H-grade). When operating at high  
ambient temperatures, the maximum load current should
