The LT®3692 is a dual current mode PWM step-down
DC/DC converter with two internal 3.8A switches. Independent input voltage, shutdown, feedback, soft-start, current
limit and comparator pins for each channel simplify complex power supply tracking and sequencing requirements.
n
To optimize efficiency and component size, both converters have a programmable maximum current limit and are
synchronized to either a common external clock input,
or a resistor settable fixed 250kHz to 2.25MHz internal
oscillator. A frequency divider is provided for channel 1
to further optimize component size. At all frequencies, a
180° phase relationship between channels is maintained,
reducing voltage ripple and component size. A clock output
is available for synchronizing multiple regulators.
Minimum input to output voltage ratios are improved by
allowing the switch to stay on through multiple clock cycles
only switching off when the boost capacitor needs recharging. Independent channel operation can be programmed
using the SHDN pin. Disabling both converters reduces
the total quiescent to 1Min) as well as impulse conditions.
CLKOUT Capacitive Loading
A minor drawback to generating a negative rail from the
CLKOUT pin is that the charge pump adds capacitance to
the CLKOUT pin, resulting in an output synchronization
clock signal phase delay. Figures 23 and 24 show the impact of capacitive loading on the CLKOUT signal rise and
fall times. Note that a typical 10:1 150MHz oscilloscope
probe contributes significant capacitance to the CLKOUT
node, necessitating a low capacitance probe for accurate
measurements. Applications requiring CLKOUT to generate
the negative supply voltage and provide the synchronization clock to other regulators may benefit from buffering
CLKOUT prior to the charge pump circuitry.
Other Linear Technology Publications
Application notes AN19, AN35 and AN44 contain more
detailed descriptions and design information for buck
regulators and other switching regulators. The LT1376
data sheet has a more extensive discussion of output
ripple, loop compensation and stability testing. Design
Note DN100 shows how to generate a dual (+ and –)
output supply using a buck regulator.
