LT1506CS8-3.3

Conv DC-DC 4V to 15V Synchronous Step Down Single-Out 3.3V 4.5A 8Pin SOIC N

DESCRIPTION

The LT ®1506 is a 500kHz monolithic buck mode switching regulator functionally identical to the LT1374 but optimized for lower input voltage applications. It will operate over a 4V to 15V input range compared with 5.5V to 25V for the LT1374. A 4.5A switch is included on the die along with all the necessary oscillator, control and logic circuitry. High switching frequency allows a considerable reduction in the size of external components. The topology is current mode for fast transient response and good loop stability. Both fixed output voltage and adjustable parts are available.
