About this manual

The LT3684 is an adjustable‑frequency buck switching regulator that accepts input voltages from 3.6 V up to 34 V (36 V max) and delivers up to 2 A of output current. It features a low shutdown current, integrated boost diode, power‑good flag, and a saturating switch with 0.182 Ω on‑resistance. The device operates from 300 kHz to 2.8 MHz, allowing the use of small inductors and capacitors for compact solutions.

Available in 10‑lead MSOP and 3 mm × 3 mm DFN packages with exposed pads, the LT3684 includes pin functions for boost, switch, bias, feedback, and control. Typical applications include automotive battery regulation, portable product power, distributed supply regulation, and industrial supplies.
