Allegro MicroSystems A4406
The A4406 is an automotive power management IC that uses a high frequency constant on-time 5.45 V pre-regulator to supply an internal 5 V linear regulator and a 3.3 V linear DMOS driver. Designed to supply CAN and microprocessor power supplies in high temperature environments, the A4406 is ideal for under hood applications. The switching regulator is capable of operating at a nominal switching frequency of 2.2 MHz.| Part No. | A4406 |

DESCRIPTION
Efficient operation is achieved by using a buck pre-regulator to efficiently drop the input voltage before supplying the linear regulators; this reduces power dissipation and increases overall regulator efficiency.
