DESCRIPTION
LT3507A
Triple Monolithic Step-Down
Regulator with LDO
Demo circuit 1781A is a Triple Monolithic Step-Down Regu-
lator with LDO featuring the LT3507A. The demo circuit
is designed for 1.8V, 3.3V, 5.0V and 2.5V outputs from a
7V to 36V input. The current capability of each channel
is 2.7A, 1.5A, 1.8A and 0.3A respectively. Independent
input voltage, feedback, soft-start and power good pins
for each channel simplify complex power supply tracking/
sequencing requirements.
All three converters are either synchronized to a common
external clock input or single-resistor programmable from
250kHz to 2.5MHz using internal oscillator. At all frequen-
cies, a 180° phase shift between V
OUT1
and the other two
outputs is maintained, reducing input voltage ripple and

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
component size. Programmable frequency allows for opti-
mization between efficiency and external component size.
Each output can be independently disabled using its own
soft-start pin, or by using the
SD
terminal the entire part
can be placed in a low quiescent current shutdown mode.
The LT3507A data sheet gives a complete description of
the part, operation and application information. The data
sheet must be read in conjunction with this quick start
guide for demo circuit 1781A.
