LM3350
Switched Capacitor Voltage Converter
General Description
The LM3350 is a CMOS charge-pump voltage converter
which efficiently provides a 3.3V to 5V step-up, or 5V to 3.3V
step-down. The LM3350 uses four small, low cost capacitors
to provide the voltage conversion. It eliminates the cost, size
and radiated EMI related to inductor based circuits, or the
power loss of a linear regulator. Operating power conversion
efficiency greater than 90%provides ideal performance for
battery powered portable systems.
The architecture provides a fixed voltage conversion ratio of
3/2 or 2/3. Thus it can be used for other DC-DC conversions
as well.
Key Specifications
n 800 kHz switch frequency allows use of very small,
inexpensive capacitors.

Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating ratings indicate conditions for which the device is intended to befunctional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test
conditions.
Note 2: For operation at elevated temperatures, LM3350 must be derated based on package thermal resistance of θ
Note 3: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kW resistor into each pin.
Note 4: Typical numbers are at 25˚C and represent the most likely parametric norm.
Note 5: Limits are 100%production tested at 25˚C. Limits over the operating temperature range are guaranteed through correlation using Statistical Quality Control
(SQC) methods. The limits are used to calculate National’s Averaging Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).
Note 6: The internal oscillator runs at 1.6 MHz, the output switches operate at one half of the oscillator frequency, f
