Where do you find those? In case I need a lot.<br>
Of course you probably can't tell me, as you also earn some $$ on selling them, but I'm having a lot of trouble finding them.</p>

A Schottky and an inductor for 3A can be found under $3 for single quantity. I consider these two parts being integrated to be the real bonus.</p>

FOOTPRINT: regarding the footprint, yes, like many other footprints on modern components it's not the easiest for a hobbyist to deal with, but you must get used to making custom foot prints in your favorite CAD program. It's just a fact of life.<br>
On the other hand, I can tell you the package is quite small and very efficient in terms of space and cost. I look forward to trying it out.</p>

This seems very similar in function to TI's PTN78060 which I've used before. It only requires 1 resistor and 2 capacitors and also has 1.5 and 6A versions. The problem with it is it's size and strange footprint.</p>
