Product details
Overview
LT3682EDD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 1A, adjustable-frequency (250kHz–2.2MHz) monolithic buck switching regulator with integrated 0.5Ω bipolar NPN switch, boost diode, and current-mode control architecture. It operates from 3.6V to 36V input, delivers 0.8V–20V output, and features Low Ripple Burst Mode™ (75μA IQ, <15mV ripple), power good flag, soft-start, and overvoltage lockout up to 60V transients - used in automotive battery regulation and industrial distributed supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT3682EDD#PBF datasheet, LT3682EDD#PBF pinout, LT3682EDD#PBF application, or LT3682EDD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 12-pin 3mm × 3mm DFN package with exposed PGND pad, SYNC-controlled mode selection (Burst vs. PWM), VC-based loop compensation, and validated short-circuit protection via DA-pin current sensing.
Technical Context
The LT3682EDD#PBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control using an internal error amplifier (gm = 430μS, gain = 1300 V/V) that drives the VC pin to regulate peak switch current. Its oscillator frequency is set by an external RT resistor (250kHz–2.2MHz), with SYNC pin enabling external clock synchronization or Burst Mode activation.
Protection includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1.45A min at low duty cycle, reduced under slope compensation), frequency foldback during startup/overload, thermal shutdown, and overvoltage lockout (36V continuous, 60V transient). The BOOST/SW/DA pins enable high-efficiency bipolar switch drive and catch-diode current monitoring for fault containment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
LT3682EDD#PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 12-lead 3mm × 3mm plastic DFN package with exposed pad (Pin 13), which must be soldered to PCB for PGND connection and thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VC (Pin 1) | Error amplifier output | Controls peak switch current; requires RC network to ground for loop stability and compensation. |
| FB (Pin 2) | Feedback input | Regulated to 0.8V reference; connects to resistor divider tap for output voltage programming. |
| PG (Pin 3) | Open-collector power good flag | Asserts high when VOUT reaches 90% of target; requires external pull-up for system monitoring. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog ground | Reference for internal circuitry; must tie directly to local ground plane, separate from PGND where possible. |
| BD (Pin 5) | Boost diode anode supply | Provides bias current to internal regulator; improves efficiency when connected to regulated output. |
| BOOST (Pin 6) | Bootstrap drive voltage | Connects to SW via 0.22μF capacitor to generate >VIN voltage for full saturation of NPN switch. |
| DA (Pin 7) | Catch diode current sense | Monitors valley current in external Schottky diode; triggers frequency foldback during overload/short-circuit. |
| SW (Pin 8) | Switch node | Connects to inductor, catch diode cathode, and BOOST capacitor; carries high di/dt switching current. |
| RUN/SS (Pin 9) | Enable & soft-start control | Pull ≥2.5V to enable; apply RC ramp for controlled VOUT rise; pull ≤0.2V to shut down (<1μA IQ). |
| RT (Pin 10) | Oscillator frequency set | Resistor to ground sets switching frequency (e.g., 40.2kΩ = 800kHz); tolerance affects accuracy. |
| SYNC (Pin 11) | External clock input / mode select | Ground = Burst Mode; ≥0.8V = pulse-skipping; external clock = synchronization (300kHz–2.2MHz). |
| VIN (Pin 12) | Main power input | Supplies internal regulator and switch; requires local ceramic bypass (≥10μF) near pin. |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 13) | Power ground (PGND) | Mandatory solder connection to PCB thermal plane; serves as return path for catch diode current. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage for stable operation of the LT3682EDD#PBF?
The LT3682EDD#PBF requires a minimum input voltage of 3.6V for continuous operation when the BD pin voltage exceeds 3.0V. Below this threshold, the internal bias regulator may not sustain control circuitry, leading to dropout or shutdown. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Minimum Operating Voltage" and applies across the full −40°C to 125°C junction temperature range.
How does the SYNC pin affect current limit and maximum output capability in the LT3682EDD#PBF?
When the SYNC pin of the LT3682EDD#PBF is grounded, the switch current limit is ≥1.45A at low duty cycles, decreasing to ≥1.1A at 90% duty cycle. When SYNC is tied to ≥0.8V or an external clock, the limit drops to ≥1.18A (low DC) and ≥0.85A (90% DC). This directly reduces maximum sustainable output current - especially critical in high-VIN/low-VOUT designs where duty cycle is high.
Can the LT3682EDD#PBF safely operate with a 60V input transient, and what happens during such an event?
Yes, the LT3682EDD#PBF is rated to safely withstand 60V/1-second input transients per Absolute Maximum Ratings. During such events, its overvoltage lockout circuit disables switching when VIN exceeds ~39V (typical), causing VOUT to fall out of regulation until VIN recovers below the threshold. The device remains undamaged and resumes normal operation automatically once input voltage returns within spec.
What is the role of the DA pin in the LT3682EDD#PBF, and how does it contribute to protection?
The DA pin on the LT3682EDD#PBF senses current through the external catch diode's anode. When valley current exceeds ~1.6A, it triggers frequency foldback - delaying subsequent switch pulses to limit inductor energy and prevent thermal runaway during short-circuit or overload. This complements the primary switch current limit and enhances system-level fault resilience without requiring additional sensing components.
Is the exposed pad of the LT3682EDD#PBF electrically connected, and what is its function?
Yes, the exposed pad (Pin 13) of the LT3682EDD#PBF is electrically connected to PGND - the power ground node for the catch diode return path. It must be soldered to a dedicated PCB thermal plane to ensure low-impedance grounding, effective heat dissipation (θJA = 43°C/W), and proper operation of the DA-pin current-sensing circuitry. Omitting this connection risks thermal failure and protection malfunction.
