Linear Technology LT1506 Switching Regulator Datasheet
The LT1506 is a constant‑frequency, 500 kHz buck‑mode switching regulator designed for low‑voltage applications. It operates from a 4 V‑15 V input range, provides up to 8.5 A switch current, and features an integrated shutdown pin that reduces quiescent current to 20 µA. Optional SYNC and BOOST pins allow external frequency control and higher drive voltage for the internal switch.
The device is supplied in a 7‑lead DD plastic package and includes detailed pin descriptions, typical performance graphs, and application circuits such as soft‑start, redundant operation, and dual‑output SEPIC configurations. Electrical characteristics, absolute maximum ratings, and typical performance data are provided for design reference.
