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.
A special high speed bipolar process and new design tech-
niques achieve high efficiency at high switching frequency.
Efficiency is maintained over a wide output current range
by keeping quiescent supply current to 4mA and by utiliz-
ing a supply boost capacitor to saturate the power switch.
The LT1506 fits into standard 7-pin DD and fused lead
SO-8 packages. Full cycle-by-cycle short-circuit protection
and thermal shutdown are provided. Standard surface
mount external parts are used, including the inductor and
capacitors. There is the optional function of shutdown or
synchronization. A shutdown signal reduces supply current
to 20µA. Synchronization allows an external logic level sig-
nal to increase the internal oscillator from 580kHz to 1MHz.

The
q
denotes specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range.
Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
Gain is measured with a V
C
swing equal to 200mV above the
switching threshold level to 200mV below the upper clamp level.
Note 3:
Minimum input voltage is not measured directly, but is guaranteed
by other tests. It is defined as the voltage where internal bias lines are still
regulated so that the reference voltage and oscillator frequency remain
constant. Actual minimum input voltage to maintain a regulated output will
depend on output voltage and load current. See Applications Information.
Note 4:
This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to
guarantee full saturation of the internal power switch.

Note 5:
Boost current is the current flowing into the boost pin with the pin
held 5V above input voltage. It flows only during switch on time.
Note 6:
Input supply current is the bias current drawn by the input pin
with switching disabled.
Note 7:
Switch on resistance is calculated by dividing V
IN
to V
SW
voltage
by the forced current (4.5A). See Typical Performance Characteristics for
the graph of switch voltage at other currents.
Note 8:
Transconductance and voltage gain refer to the internal amplifier
exclusive of the voltage divider. To calculate gain and transconductance
refer to SENSE pin on fixed voltage parts. Divide values shown by the ratio
V
