Internal or External Compensation
Low Shutdown Current: <2µA
Thermally Enhanced 8-Lead MSOP Package
The LT
®
1936 is a current mode PWM step-down DC/DC
converter with an internal 1.9A power switch, packaged in
a tiny, thermally enhanced 8-lead MSOP. The wide input
range of 3.6V to 36V makes the LT1936 suitable for
regulating power from a wide variety of sources, including
automotive batteries, 24V industrial supplies and unregu-
lated wall adapters. Its high operating frequency allows
the use of small, low cost inductors and ceramic capaci-
tors, resulting in low, predictable output ripple.
Cycle-by-cycle current limit, frequency foldback and ther-
mal shutdown provide protection against shorted outputs,
and soft-start eliminates input current surge during start-
up. Transient response can be optimized by using external
compensation components, or board space can be mini-
mized by using internal compensation. The low current
(<2µA) shutdown mode enables easy power management
in battery-powered systems.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of the device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LT1936E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LT1936I specifications are
guaranteed over the –40°C to 125°C temperature range. The LT1936H
specifications are guaranteed over the –40°C to 150°C temperature range.
High junction temperatures degrade operating lifetimes. Operating lifetime
at junction temperatures greater than 125°C is derated to 1000 hours.
Note 3:
Current limit guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static test.
Slope compensation reduces current limit at higher duty cycle.
Note 4:
Current flows out of pin.
Note 5:
Current flows into pin.
