Introduction

Electronic devices are becoming smaller while the power requirements are increasing to satisfy ever more functionality. To preserve power and manage heat, switching regulators are desirable because of their high efficiency compared to linear regulators.

The LT3506 and the LT3506A are examples of how to squeeze power out of a supply without overheating the end product. These are dual 1.6A step-down monolithic regulators that simplify the lives ...
