Product details
Overview
LT3689EMSE-5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 700mA monolithic step-down switching regulator with integrated power-on reset (POR) and pin-selectable watchdog timer, operating from 3.6V to 36V input and delivering a fixed 5.0V ±1% output. It features 85µA quiescent current in Burst Mode®, programmable undervoltage lockout (EN/UVLO), and robust 60V transient tolerance-designed for automotive ECU power rails requiring reliable microprocessor supervision.
For engineers reviewing the LT3689EMSE-5#TRPBF datasheet, LT3689EMSE-5#TRPBF pinout, LT3689EMSE-5#TRPBF application, or LT3689EMSE-5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 5V output, 16-pin MSOP package with exposed pad, independent POR and watchdog timing via external capacitors (CPOR/CWDT), and compatibility with high-voltage industrial and automotive supply domains where input transients up to 60V must be tolerated without latch-up.
Technical Context
The LT3689EMSE-5#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode PWM control with frequency programmability (350kHz–2.2MHz via RT resistor) and automatic transition to low-ripple Burst Mode® below ~10mA load. Its internal bipolar NPN switch supports 700mA continuous output with cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown.
Supervisory functions are hardware-decoupled: the POR circuit asserts RST low when VOUT drops below 90% of 5.0V and holds it for a capacitor-programmed delay (tRST = 2.3ms/nF on CPOR); the watchdog operates in timeout or window mode (selected by W/T pin), with upper/lower boundaries set by CWDT (tWDU = 18.2·CWDT, tWDL = 0.588·CWDT).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.00V ±1% - eliminates external feedback resistors; ensures stable MCU core/logic rail without calibration. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.6V to 36V continuous, 60V transient tolerant - supports 12V/24V automotive batteries with cold-crank and load-dump immunity. |
| Quiescent Current | 85µA at 12VIN → 5VOUT in Burst Mode® - enables always-on systems with multi-year battery life in low-power states. |
| Switching Frequency | Adjustable 350kHz–2.2MHz via RT pin - allows optimization of inductor size (e.g., 12µH @ 700kHz) vs. EMI vs. efficiency trade-offs. |
| Reset Accuracy | RST triggers at 90% of 5.0V (±2%) with 17–21ms typical timeout (CPOR = 8.2nF) - guarantees deterministic microprocessor initialization timing. |
| Watchdog Modes | Pin-selectable timeout or window mode (W/T pin) - provides flexible fault detection: timeout for simple heartbeat, window for precise timing validation. |
| Package | 16-pin MSOP with exposed thermal pad - delivers θJC = 4.3°C/W for high-power-density layouts in space-constrained ECUs. |
Pinout & Package
LT3689EMSE-5#TRPBF uses a 16-lead plastic MSOP package with exposed pad (pin 17 = GND), rated for –40°C to 125°C junction temperature. The exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (WDO) | Watchdog output | Open-collector active-low signal; pulled weakly to VOUT (1µA), requires external pull-up for fast rise or higher VOH. |
| 2 (CWDT) | Watchdog timing capacitor | Connects to GND; sets tWDU/tWDL per tWDU = 18.2·CWDT (ms), tWDL = 0.588·CWDT (ms) - enables precise fault-window tuning. |
| 3 (CPOR) | Reset timeout capacitor | Connects to GND; sets tRST = 2.3ms/nF - defines minimum system boot stabilization time before RST deassertion. |
| 4 (RT) | Oscillator frequency set | Resistor-to-GND sets fSW from 350kHz–2.2MHz; e.g., 20.5kΩ yields 700kHz - balances efficiency, size, and EMI. |
| 5 (SYNC) | External clock sync input | Accepts logic-level signal ≥80ns pulse width; enables EMI reduction via frequency alignment with system clock domain. |
| 6 (OUT) | Bias supply / internal divider tap | Provides bias current path when >3V; internally connects to fixed 5V feedback network - no external resistors needed. |
| 7 (BST) | Bootstrap drive | Drives internal NPN switch gate above VIN via external capacitor; enables full saturation and <450mV VCESAT at 0.8A. |
| 8 (VIN) | Main power input | Supplies control circuitry and switch; withstands 60V non-repetitive transients - critical for automotive load-dump survival. |
| 9 (RST) | Power-on reset output | Open-collector active-low; asserts when VOUT < 4.5V and holds for CPOR-defined period - ensures clean MCU reset sequencing. |
| 10 (WDI) | Watchdog input | Receives microprocessor heartbeat signal; falling edges monitored for timing compliance in window or timeout mode. |
| 11 (W/T) | Watchdog mode select | Low = window mode (detects too-close/too-far WDI edges); high = timeout mode (detects missing transitions) - configures fault logic. |
| 12 (WDE) | Watchdog enable | High >1V disables watchdog; WDO floats high - allows runtime disable for debug or safe boot phases. |
| 13 (FB) | Feedback reference | Internally tied to 5V divider; for LT3689-5 variants, used only for phase-lead compensation - no external resistor required. |
| 14 (EN/UVLO) | Enable & UVLO input | 1.26V threshold with hysteresis; resistor divider enables programmable start-up voltage (e.g., 9V min) - prevents brownout operation. |
| 15 (DA) | Catch diode anode monitor | Current-sense input; disables switching if diode current >1.2A - protects against short-circuit overcurrent without external sensing. |
| 16 (SW) | Switch node | Drives external inductor/catch diode; peak current limited to 1.55A typical - defines maximum deliverable load under fault. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 5V output with 0.8V internal reference | Eliminates external feedback resistors, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity while maintaining ±1% regulation accuracy. |
| Independent POR and watchdog timing | Separate CPOR and CWDT pins allow concurrent, non-interfering configuration of reset delay (17–21ms typical) and watchdog windows (e.g., 182ms/5.9ms). |
| 60V transient-tolerant input | Withstands automotive load-dump events without shutdown or damage, enabling direct connection to battery rails without pre-regulation. |
| Burst Mode® with <15mVP-P ripple | Maintains ultra-low 85µA IQ at light loads while holding output ripple below 15mV - critical for noise-sensitive analog/mixed-signal circuits. |
| Programmable EN/UVLO with hysteresis | Resistor-divider setup enables precise turn-on voltage (e.g., 9V) and hysteresis (≥2.8µA current delta) to prevent oscillation near threshold. |
| Thermal shutdown + current foldback | Combines junction-temperature cutoff with frequency foldback during overload - sustains regulation longer than thermal-only protection. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LT3689EMSE-5#TRPBF?
The LT3689EMSE-5#TRPBF delivers a fixed 5.00V output with ±1% initial accuracy over temperature and line, verified across –40°C to 125°C. This is achieved via laser-trimmed internal feedback resistors referenced to a stable 0.800V bandgap, eliminating external component drift effects seen in adjustable regulators.
How does the LT3689EMSE-5#TRPBF handle input voltage transients up to 60V?
The LT3689EMSE-5#TRPBF withstands 60V non-repetitive transients by disabling switching when VIN exceeds 38V (typical OVP threshold), entering a safe high-impedance state while maintaining internal bias. The 60V absolute maximum rating on VIN and EN/UVLO pins ensures no latch-up or damage occurs, allowing direct battery-rail connection in automotive environments.
Can the watchdog timer on the LT3689EMSE-5#TRPBF operate in both timeout and window modes?
Yes, the LT3689EMSE-5#TRPBF watchdog supports both modes: setting the W/T pin low enables window mode (detects WDI edges too close or too far apart), while pulling W/T high selects timeout mode (detects missing transitions). Both modes use the same CWDT capacitor to set tWDU and tWDL, providing flexible fault coverage for diverse MCU architectures.
What is the purpose of the DA pin on the LT3689EMSE-5#TRPBF?
The DA pin on the LT3689EMSE-5#TRPBF monitors catch diode anode current. If diode current exceeds 1.2A (e.g., during output short-circuit), the DA comparator disables switching until current falls below threshold. This valley-current limiting protects the external diode and inductor without requiring additional sensing components.
Is the LT3689EMSE-5#TRPBF compatible with external synchronization?
Yes, the LT3689EMSE-5#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin, accepting logic-level signals with ≥80ns pulse widths. When synchronized, the internal oscillator locks to the external frequency, enabling EMI reduction through spectral spreading or alignment with system clocks - critical for noise-sensitive applications.
