Linear Technology LT3692A Demo Manual

Monolithic dual tracking 3.5a step-down switching regulator

DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1403A is a dual current mode PWM
step-down DC/DC converter featuring the LT3692A. The
demo circuit is designed for 5V and 3.3V outputs from a
7V to 36V input. The current capability of each channel is
up to 3A. Individual soft-start, current limit, comparator,
input voltage for each output as well as frequency division
and synchronous and clock output functions simplify the
complex design of dual-output power converters.
Both converters are synchronized to either a common
external clock input or a resistor-programmable 250kHz
to 2.25MHz internal oscillator. At all frequencies, a 180°
phase shift between channels is maintained, reducing

Each output can be independently disabled using its
own SHDN pin and be placed in a low quiescent current
