TYPICAL APPLICATION
FEATURES DESCRIPTION
40V 400mA Step-Down
Switching Regulator with Dual
Fault Protected Tracking LDOs
The LT
®
3668 is a monolithic triple power supply composed
of a 400mA buck switching regulator and two 200mA low
dropout linear tracking regulators (LDOs).This provides a
complete and robust power solution for applications that
require the power supply of a sensor to tightly track the
power supply of a measurement ASIC.
Each tracking LDO supplies 200mA of output current with
a typical dropout voltage of 340mV, and each LDO has an
accurate resistor programmable current limit.
Internal protection circuitry includes reverse-battery
protection, current limiting, thermal limiting and reverse
current protection.
The buck regulator includes a high efficiency switch, a
boost 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.
The LT3668 is available in a thermally-enhanced 16-lead
MSOP package with exposed pad for low thermal resistance.
