LM2771 Low-Ripple 250mA Switched Capacitor Step-Down DC/DC Converter
March 2006
General Description
The LM2771 is a switched capacitor step-down regulator
that produces a 1.5V output without the use of an inductor. It
is capable of supplying loads up to 250mA. The LM2771
operates with an input voltage from 2.7V to 5.5V, and requires only 3 low-cost ceramic capacitors.
The LM2771 uses a regulated 0.5x charge pump to give
power conversion efficiencies nearly twice as high as an
LDO. Pre-regulated 1.1MHz fixed-frequency switching results in very low ripple and noise on both the input and the
output. When output currents are low (
automatically switches to a low-ripple PFM regulation mode
to maintain high efficiency over the entire load range. At
input voltages below 3.5V (Typ), the charge pump goes into
pass mode, with efficiencies similar to an LDO.
The LM2771 is available in National’s 10-pad Leadless
Leadframe No-Pullback Package (LLP-10).
