DescripTion
FeaTures
n
Wide Input Range:
The LT®3690 is an adjustable frequency monolithic buck
switching regulator that accepts input voltages up to 36V.
A high efficiency 90mΩ switch is included on the device
along with the boost diode and the necessary oscillator,
control,andlogiccircuitry.Theinternalsynchronouspower
switch of 30mΩ increases efficiency and eliminates the
need for an external Schottky catch diode. Current mode
topology is used for fast transient response and good
loop stability. Shutdown reduces input supply current to
less than 1µA. The low ripple Burst Mode maintains high
efficiency at low output currents while keeping output
ripple below 15mV in typical applications.

– Overvoltage Lockout Protects Circuits

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: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed the maximum operating junction temperature
when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operation above
the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair device
reliability.
Note 2: Absolute maximum voltage at the EN, UVLO and V pins is 36V
IN
for continuous operation. For non-repetitive 1 second transients while
T < 125°C, the absolute maximum voltage is 60V.
Note 5: This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to
guarantee full saturation of the switch.
J
Note 3: The LT3690E 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
LT3690I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range. The LT3690H is guaranteed over the full –40°C to
150°C operating junction temperature range. The LT3690MP is guaranteed
over the full –55°C to 150°C operating junction temperature range. High
junction temperatures degrade operating lifetime. Operating lifetime is
derated at junction temperatures greater than 125°C.
Note 6: Current limit guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static test.
Slope compensation reduces current limit at higher duty cycles. Current
limit reduced when feedback voltage is below the reference voltage.
Note 7: The voltages are referred to GND and currents are assumed
positive, when the current flows into the pin. Negative magnitudes are
shown as maximum.

One approach to choosing the inductor is to start with the
simple rule given above, look at the available inductors,
and choose one to meet cost or space goals. Then use
these equations to check that the LT3690 will be able to
deliver the required output current. Note again that these
equations assume that the inductor current is continu-
the output ripple, and low impedance at the switching
frequency is important. The second function is to store
energy in order to satisfy transient loads and stabilize the

over temperature and applied voltage, and should not be
used. A 10µF ceramic capacitor is adequate to bypass
the LT3690, and easily handles the ripple current. Note
that larger input capacitance is required when a lower

put capacitance in µF. Use X5R or X7R types, which will
provide low output ripple and good transient response.
Using a high value capacitor on the output can improve
transient performance, but a phase lead capacitor across
the feedback resistor R1 may be required to get the full
benefit (see the Frequency Compensation section).
High performance electrolytic capacitors can be used for
the output capacitor. If using an electrolytic capacitor,
choose one intended for use in switching regulators, and
with a specified ESR of 0.03Ω or less. Such a capacitor
will be larger than a ceramic capacitor and will have a
larger capacitance because the capacitor must be large to
achieve low ESR. Table 3 lists several capacitor vendors.
Step-down regulators draw current from the input sup-
ply in pulses with very fast rise and fall times. The input
capacitor is required to reduce the resulting voltage
ripple at the LT3690 and to force this very high frequency
switching current into a tight local loop, minimizing EMI.
A 10µF capacitor is capable of this task, but only if it is

A ceramic input capacitor combined with trace or cable
inductance forms a high quality (under damped) tank

the input voltage can ring to twice its nominal value, pos-

Ceramic Capacitors
Ceramic capacitors are small, robust and have very
low ESR. However, ceramic capacitors can sometimes
cause problems when used with the LT3690 due to their
piezoelectric nature. When in Burst Mode operation, the
LT3690’sswitchingfrequencydependsontheloadcurrent,
and at very light loads the LT3690 can excite the ceramic
capacitor at audio frequencies, generating audible noise.

Since the LT3690 operates at a lower current limit during
Burst Mode operation, the noise is typically very quiet. If
this is unacceptable, use a high performance tantalum or

Low-Ripple Burst Mode and Pulse-Skipping Mode
If low quiescent current is not required, the LT3690 can
operate in pulse-skipping mode. The benefit of this mode
is that the LT3690 will enter full frequency standard PWM
operation at a lower output load current than when in
Burst Mode operation. The front page application circuit
will switch at full frequency at output loads higher than
The LT3690 is capable of operating in either low ripple
Burst Mode operation or pulse-skipping mode, which is
selected using the SYNC pin. See the Synchronization and
Mode section for details.
To enhance efficiency at light loads, the LT3690 can be
operated in low ripple Burst Mode operation that keeps
the output capacitor charged to the proper voltage while
minimizingtheinputquiescentcurrent.DuringBurstMode
operation,theLT3690deliverssinglecycleburstsofcurrent
to the output capacitor followed by sleep periods where
the output capacitor is delivers output power to the load.
Because the LT3690 delivers power to the output with
single, low current pulses, the output ripple stays below
about 64mA at V = 12V.

Low Side Switch Considerations
The operation of the internal low side switch is optimized
for reliable, high efficiency operation. The low side switch
is connected in parallel with a catch diode. When the top
side switch turns off, the inductor current pulls the SW
pin low, and forward biases the internal catch diode. In
order to prevent shoot through currents, the internal low
side switch only turns on after detecting the SW pin going
low. Once the low side switch turns on, the voltage drop
between SW and GND is very small, minimizing power
loss and improving efficiency. At the end of the switching
cycle, the low side switch turns off, and after a delay, the
top side switch can turn on again. The switching sequence
is shown in Figure 4.

respectively, during the sleep time. As the load current
decreases towards a no-load condition, the percentage
of time that the LT3690 operates in sleep mode increases
and the average input current is greatly reduced, resulting
in high efficiency even at very low loads (see Figure 3).
At higher output loads (above about 385mA at V = 12V

The switching will only resume once the low side switch

outputs of 3V and above, the standard circuit (Figure 5a)
is best. For outputs between 2.8V and 3V, use a 1µF boost

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
diode (such as the ON Semi MBR0540), and a 1µF boost
capacitor (see Figure 5b). For lower output voltages, the
boost diode can be tied to the input (Figure 5c), or to
another supply greater than 2.8V. The circuit in Figure 5a
is more efficient because the BST pin current and BIAS
pin quiescent current comes from a lower voltage source.
However, the full benefit of the BIAS pin is not realized
unless it is at least 3V. Ensure that the maximum voltage
ratings of the BST and BIAS pins are not exceeded.

Output Tracking and Sequencing
To assure reliable and safe operation, the LT3690 will
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
Output tracking and sequencing between voltage regu-
lators can be implemented using the LT3690’s SS and
PG pins. Figures 8 and 9 show several configurations
for output tracking and sequencing of the LT3690 and
an additional regulator. Independent soft-start for each
channel is shown in Figure 8a. The output ramp time for
each output is set by the soft-start capacitor as described
in the soft-start section.
