Product details
Overview
LT3668IMSE#PBF from Analog Devices is a wide-input multi-output regulator for automotive and industrial systems requiring efficient step-down conversion plus auxiliary linear rails. The device belongs to a power-supply family intended to simplify compact multi-rail designs from high-voltage inputs.
As part of the LT3668 product family, LT3668IMSE#PBF combines high-voltage buck conversion, low-current auxiliary regulation, low-power operating behavior, protection functions, and thermally enhanced MSOP packaging. For engineers reviewing the LT3668IMSE#PBF datasheet, LT3668IMSE#PBF pinout, LT3668IMSE#PBF application, or LT3668IMSE#PBF equivalent, this device is widely used in automotive battery regulation, industrial control boards, sensor supplies, always-on rails, portable instrumentation, and compact embedded power architectures.
Technical Context
In wide-input embedded systems, LT3668IMSE#PBF operates as a regulator solution for generating a primary buck rail and auxiliary low-current rails from automotive or industrial supplies.
The architecture supports compact power trees where light-load current, thermal behavior, and protected auxiliary regulation matter. This makes it useful in always-on modules and sensor supplies that must operate from variable high-voltage sources.
LT3668IMSE#PBF is commonly used when designers need a Linear Technology wide-input multi-output regulator in an MSOP package for 12V, 24V, adapter, or battery-powered systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
When evaluating a LT3668IMSE#PBF equivalent, engineers should compare input range, rail count, auxiliary regulator current, package, quiescent current, and protection behavior.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3667EMSE#PBF | Analog Devices related triple supply with one buck and two fault-protected LDO regulators. | Used when integrated protected LDO rails are required. | Compare LDO structure, current rating, package, and protection needs. |
| LT3694EFE#PBF | Analog Devices buck regulator with dual LDO controllers and higher buck current capability. | Used when external pass-device LDO control and higher buck output are preferred. | Compare current, LDO architecture, package, and thermal design. |
Compared with LT3667EMSE#PBF, LT3668IMSE#PBF should be selected according to its specific auxiliary regulator arrangement and package. LT3668IMSE#PBF vs LT3694EFE#PBF selection depends on buck current, LDO-controller needs, package, and input-transient environment.
