Linear Technology
DESCRIPTION
The LT®3680 is an adjustable frequency (200kHz to 2.4MHz) monolithic buck switching regulator that accepts input voltages up to 36V. A high efficiency 95m switch is included on the die along with a boost Schottky diode and the necessary oscillator, control, and logic circuitry. Current mode topology is used for fast transient response and good loop stability. Low ripple Burst Mode® operation maintains high efficiency at low output currents while keeping output ripple below 15mV in a typical application.
