3506afc
Dual Monolithic 1.6A
Step-Down Switching Regulator
The LT
®
3506 is a dual current mode PWM step-down DC/DC
converter with internal 2A power switches. Both convert-
ers are synchronized to a single oscillator and run with
opposite phases, reducing input ripple current. The output
voltages are set with external resistor dividers, and each
regulator has independent shutdown and soft-start circuits.
Each regulator generates a power-good signal when its
output is in regulation, easing power supply sequencing
and interfacing with microcontrollers and DSPs.
The LT3506 switching frequency is 575kHz and the LT3506A
is 1.1MHz. These high switching frequencies allow the
use of tiny inductors and capacitors, resulting in a very
small dual 1.6A output solution. Constant frequency and
ceramic capacitors combine to produce low, predictable
output ripple voltage. With its wide input range of 3.6V to
25V, the LT3506 regulates a wide variety of power sources,
from 4-cell batteries and 5V logic rails to unregulated wall
transformers, lead acid batteries and distributed-power
supplies. Current mode PWM architecture provides fast
transient response with simple compensation components
and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Frequency foldback
and thermal shutdown provide additional protection.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: The LT3506E/LT3506AE are guaranteed to meet performance
specifi cations from 0°C to 85°C. Specifi cations over the –40°C to 85°C
operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls. The LT3506I/LT3506AI are
guaranteed and tested over the full –40°C to 125°C operating temperature
range.
Note 3: Current limit is guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static
test. Slope compensation reduces current limit at high duty cycle.
