DESCRIPTION
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.
