Step-down controllere med mange features
Linear Technology lancerer 36V input dual 800mA step-down regulator med integreret power-on og reset og watchdog timer (in english).
Linear Technology Corp. announces the LT3688, a dual 800mA, 36V input step-down switching regulator with dual power-on reset and a watchdog timer. The LT3688’s 3.8V to 36V input voltage range makes it ideal for load dump and cold crank conditions commonly found in automotive applications.
Its dual 1.2A internal switches deliver up to 800mA of continuous output current from each channel at output voltages as low as 0.8V. The LT3688’s Burst Mode operation provides quiescent current of only 115µA, making it well suited for applications such as automotive or telecom systems, which demand always-on operation and optimum battery life.
Switching frequency is user programmable from 350kHz to 2.2MHz, enabling the designer to optimize efficiency while avoiding critical noise-sensitive frequency bands. The LT3688’s 4mm x 4mm QFN-24 (or thermally enhanced TSSOP–24) package and high switching frequency keep external inductors and capacitors small, providing a very compact, thermally efficient footprint.
The integrated microprocessor supervisor functions support high reliability applications such as automotive electronic control units. Each power-on reset timer and the watchdog timer timeout periods are independently programmable using external capacitors. Tight accuracy 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 monitors for watchdog falling edges grouped too close together or too far apart.
The LT3688 utilizes dual high efficiency 1.2A, 280mV switches with integrated boost diodes, oscillator, control and logic circuitry integrated into a single IC. Low ripple Burst Mode operation maintains high efficiency at low output currents while keeping output ripple below 25mVPK-PK.
Special design techniques and a new high voltage process enable high efficiency over a wide input voltage range, and current mode topology enables fast transient response and excellent loop stability. Other features include external synchronization (from 350kHz to 2.2MHz), programmable undervoltage lockout and enhanced short-circuit protection.
The LT3688EUF and LT3688EFE are priced starting at $3.60 and $3.75 each, respectively, for 1,000 piece quantities. The LT3688IUF and LT3688IFE are tested and guaranteed to operate from a -40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature.
and are priced at $4.01 and $4.17 each, respectively, in 1,000 piece quantities. The LT3688HFE is tested and guaranteed to operate from a -40°C to 150°C operating junction temperature.
