The LT3684IMSE#TRPBF - A PMIC DC DC Switching Regulator: Application Field and Working Principle

The LT3684IMSE#TRPBF Voltage Regulator is a monolithic DC-DC switching regulator from the renowned Texas Instruments’ family of products. It belongs to the category of PMIC (power management ICs) and specifically, the category of switch-mode regulators. The LT3684IMSE#TRPBF offers a very efficient way to drive up to 2A at 3.2V, 2.85V or any other regulated voltage that works within the 0.8V to 6V range. It also has a PFM (pulse-width modulation) mode of operation that helps to further increase efficiency as well as reliability.

Applications:

The LT3684IMSE#TRPBF is suitable for a wide range of applications in the battery-operated equipment, medical and industrial markets. Some of the applications that can be taken with this power management DC-DC switching regulator include:

• Battery powered devices such as portable music players, digital cameras, notebooks and smartphones
• Primary and secondary backup power supplies
• Medical equipment such as patient-monitoring devices and infusion pumps
• Electronic toys
• Industrial equipment such as embedded controllers, testers, counters and recorders

Features and Benefits

The LT3684IMSE#TRPBF highlights a number of features, some of which actively contribute to its superior performance. The features include:

• Wide operating temperature range – suitable for both commercial and automotive applications
• True shutdown
• Low standby current
• Thermal shutdown and output disconnect
• 5V to 24V wide input voltage range
• Up to 2A output current
• Very high system efficiency
• Small footprint
• Low external component count and cost

The LT3684IMSE#TRPBF is a highly reliable switching DC-DC converter that works on a bi-directional current path. It is suitable for providing a regulated output voltage from raw power sources.

Working Principle

The LT3684IMSE#TRPBF is a monolithic active switch-mode regulator. It is designed to provide a regulated output voltage that is highly stable, regardless of variations in the input power or load currents. Its operation is based on the oscillation of an internal MOSFET switch. This switch is shut on, allowing current to flow and during this time, energy is being accumulated into the inductor. When the internal voltage reaches the desired value, the switch is shut off and the magnetic field of the inductor collapses, thereby releasing the stored energy. This, in turn, powers the output and viseversa. The LT3684IMSE#TRPBF boosts the input voltage or buck it down accordingly, as per requirements.

The LT3684IMSE#TRPBF converter is implemented with a wide input voltage range (of between 5V and 24V). This allows it to be employed in applications that involve input sources from varying battery line ranges. Moreover, the output voltage can be precisely adjusted, with the help of a feedback pin. The LT3684IMSE#TRPBF can also be used for driving a wide range of loads. It supports pulse-width modulation (PWM) over-current protection and thermal shutdown. This feature helps to prevent damage from over-currents.

Pros and Cons

The LT3684IMSE#TRPBF offers a number of advantages which makes it a very attractive option for powering a wide range of electronic devices. It is highly reliable, efficient, has a small package size and a low external component count. Its wide input voltage range also adds to its convenience.

On the other hand, it has limited features and a programming voltage of 0.26V. This requires the user to have a fairly detailed understanding of the LT3684IMSE#TRPBF to be able to manually adjust the output voltage.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the LT3684IMSE#TRPBF Voltage Regulator is a versatile and reliable PMIC DC DC Switching Regulator that can be used for regulating the output voltage in a wide range of battery-operated electronic devices. It has a wide working temperature range and a wide input voltage range of 5V to 24V. The LT3684IMSE#TRPBF is capable of delivering up to 2A with its high efficiency output current and it is easy to use, with a low external component count and cost. With its pulse-width modulation feature and its shutdown and thermal protection, it is an excellent choice for those looking for an efficient voltage regulator.
