DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1439A is an adjustable dual mono-
lithic step-down switching regulator with two power-on
reset timers and a watchdog timer. The regulator operates
off inputs up to 36V and withstands transients up to 60V.
The two buck outputs are capable of generating up to
800mA each and both of them have independent RUN/SS
function. The reset and watchdog timeout periods are both
adjustable using external capacitors.
The LT3688 is available in 24-Pin TSSOP and 4mm ×
4mm QFN packages, each with an exposed pad for low
thermal resistance.
