Multioutput monolithic regulators are easy to use and fi tinto spaces where multichip solutions cannot. Nevertheless,the popularity of multioutput regulators is temperedby a lack of options for input voltages above 30V andsupport of high output currents. The LT3692A fi lls thisgap with a dual monolithic regulator that operates frominputs up to 36V. It also includes a number of channeloptimization features that allow the LT3692A’s per-channelperformance to rival that of multichip solutions.
Have you had the exasperating experience of a laptop orPDA defi antly not responding to your commands? Youfrantically press key after key, but to no avail.
