Product details
Overview
LT3689EUD#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 (window or timeout mode). It operates from 3.6V to 36V input, withstands 60V transients, delivers adjustable output voltage via 0.800V feedback reference, and maintains <15mVP-P output ripple in Burst Mode® at light load. It is used in automotive ECU power rails requiring fault-tolerant supervision.
For engineers reviewing the LT3689EUD#TRPBF datasheet, LT3689EUD#TRPBF pinout, LT3689EUD#TRPBF application, or LT3689EUD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 350kHz–2.2MHz programmable switching frequency, 85µA quiescent current at 12VIN/3.3VOUT, independent capacitor-programmable POR (tRST) and watchdog (tWDU/tWDL) timing, EN/UVLO hysteresis control, and robust 60V transient tolerance.
Technical Context
The LT3689EUD#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode PWM control with slope compensation and frequency foldback during overload. Its internal bipolar NPN switch (1.55A typical current limit, 450mV VCE(SAT) at 0.8A) is driven by a bootstrap circuit (BST pin), enabling efficient operation up to 36V input. The regulator integrates dedicated analog comparators for POR (90% VFB threshold), watchdog window/timer logic, and DA-pin-based catch diode current monitoring (1.2A limit).
Supervisory functions are hardware-configured: CPOR sets reset timeout (2.3ms/nF), CWDT sets watchdog boundaries (tWDU = 18.2·CWDT, tWDL = 0.588·CWDT), W/T selects window vs. timeout mode, and WDE enables/disables the watchdog. RST and WDO are open-collector outputs with weak 1µA pull-up to VOUT, supporting direct interfacing to µP reset and interrupt inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.6V to 36V continuous; survives 60V/1s nonrepetitive transients - enables use in 24V automotive and industrial systems without external TVS. |
| Output Current | 700mA maximum DC load - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in compact embedded systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 85µA at 12VIN/3.3VOUT in Burst Mode - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.800V ±12mV (0.780V–0.812V) - allows precise output regulation with standard 1% resistors; supports 3.3V, 5V, or custom outputs. |
| Switching Frequency | 350kHz to 2.2MHz, resistor-programmable via RT pin - balances inductor size (e.g., 12µH @ 700kHz) against efficiency and EMI. |
| Reset Threshold Accuracy | 90% of VFB (±2%) - ensures reliable µP reset assertion when output drops below regulation, with glitch immunity. |
| Watchdog Timing | Capacitor-programmable: tWDU = 18.2·CWDT (ms), tWDL = 0.588·CWDT (ms); e.g., 10nF yields 182ms/5.9ms - enables flexible firmware watchdog window tuning. |
Pinout & Package
LT3689EUD#TRPBF is housed in a 16-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic QFN package with exposed thermal pad (GND). The package provides θJA = 68°C/W and θJC = 4.2°C/W, requiring soldered GND pad for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST | Bootstrap supply | Drives internal NPN switch gate above VIN; requires external 2.2µF ceramic capacitor to SW. |
| VIN | Main input supply | Supplies internal circuitry and power switch; rated to 60V transient, 36V continuous. |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor, catch diode anode, and BST capacitor; carries high di/dt switching current. |
| DA | Catch diode anode monitor | Detects overcurrent in external Schottky diode; disables switching if current exceeds ~1.2A. |
| EN/UVLO | Enable & undervoltage lockout | 1.26V threshold with hysteresis; resistor divider enables programmable UVLO turn-on/turn-off points. |
| FB | Feedback input | Regulated to 0.800V; connects to resistor divider tap for output voltage setting. |
| RT | Frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets switching frequency from 350kHz to 2.2MHz (e.g., 20.5kΩ = 700kHz). |
| SYNC | External clock sync input | Accepts logic-level signal ≥80ns pulse width; enables deterministic EMI reduction via master clock alignment. |
| OUT | Bias supply output | Provides bias current path to internal boost diode; reduces VIN quiescent current when VOUT > 3V. |
| RST | Open-collector reset output | Asserts low when VOUT < 90% VFB; timing set by CPOR capacitor; weak 1µA pull-up to VOUT. |
| WDI | Watchdog input | Receives µP watchdog pulses; falling edges monitored for window/timer compliance. |
| W/T | Watchdog mode select | Low = window mode (detects too-close/too-far WDI edges); High = timeout mode (no edge within tWDU). |
| WDE | Watchdog enable | High (>1V) disables watchdog; WDO remains high - allows runtime watchdog deactivation. |
| WDO | Open-collector watchdog output | Asserts low on watchdog fault; timing controlled by CWDT; weak 1µA pull-up to VOUT. |
| CPOR | Reset timeout capacitor | Capacitor to GND sets reset delay: tRST = 2.3ms/nF (e.g., 68nF → 157ms). |
| CWDT | Watchdog timing capacitor | Capacitor to GND sets watchdog boundaries: tWDU = 18.2·CWDT, tWDL = 0.588·CWDT. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LT3689EUD#TRPBF can withstand?
The LT3689EUD#TRPBF operates continuously from 3.6V to 36V input and is rated to withstand nonrepetitive 60V transients for up to 1 second without damage or latch-up. During transients above 38V (typical), switching is disabled to protect downstream circuitry while maintaining safe bias operation - a key feature for automotive load-dump immunity.
How is the output voltage set on the LT3689EUD#TRPBF?
The LT3689EUD#TRPBF uses an adjustable feedback architecture with a precise 0.800V reference at the FB pin. Output voltage is set by a resistor divider: VOUT = 0.800V × (1 + R1/R2). For example, R1 = 316kΩ and R2 = 20.5kΩ yields 3.3V. The LT3689EUD#TRPBF does not have a fixed-output variant; the -5 suffix (e.g., LT3689EUD-5#TRPBF) denotes a separate part with internal 5V feedback divider.
Can the LT3689EUD#TRPBF's watchdog timer be disabled in-system?
Yes. The LT3689EUD#TRPBF watchdog timer is disabled when the WDE pin voltage exceeds 1V, causing WDO to remain high regardless of WDI activity. This allows runtime deactivation via a GPIO or logic signal - useful during firmware updates or debug modes. The LT3689EUD#TRPBF retains all other functions (regulation, POR) during watchdog disable.
What thermal considerations apply to the LT3689EUD#TRPBF's QFN package?
The LT3689EUD#TRPBF uses a 3mm × 3mm QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17, GND). To achieve θJA = 68°C/W, the pad must be soldered to a minimum 1cm² copper pour connected to internal/external GND planes via ≥4 thermal vias. Inadequate pad soldering causes junction temperature rise and potential thermal shutdown - verified in the LT3689EUD#TRPBF's absolute max rating table (TJ ≤ 125°C for E-grade).
Does the LT3689EUD#TRPBF support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes. The LT3689EUD#TRPBF's SYNC pin accepts logic-level input signals (≥80ns pulse width) to synchronize switching frequency. When enabled, the internal oscillator locks to the external clock, reducing EMI peak amplitude and enabling deterministic noise placement - critical for EMC-compliant designs in automotive and industrial systems using the LT3689EUD#TRPBF.
