The LT3645 is a dual output regulator combining a 500mA buck regulator and a 200mA low dropout linear regulator (LDO). The wide input voltage range of 3.6V to 36V makes the LT3645 suitable for regulating power from a wide variety of sources, including 24V industrial supplies and automotive batteries. Its high operating frequency allows the use of tiny, low cost inductors and capacitors, resulting in a very small solution.Cycle-by-cycle current limit and frequency foldback provide protection against shorted outputs. Soft-start and frequency foldback eliminate input current surge during start-up.The linear regulator operates from the VCC2pin at voltages down to 1.2V. It supplies 200mA of output current with a typical dropout voltage of 310mV.Other features of the LT3645 include a <2μA shutdown, short circuit protection, soft-start and thermal shutdown. The LT3645 is available in the thermally enhanced 16-lead (3mm × 3mm) QFN package, or a 12-lead MSE package.ApplicationsAutomotive CMOS Image SensorsIndustrial/Automotive Micro-Controller Supply
