LM3351
Switched Capacitor Voltage Converter
General Description
The LM3351 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 LM3351 is pin for pin compatible with the
LM3350 but consumes 66%less quiescent current. The
LM3351 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 200 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, LM3351 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 eighth of the oscillator frequency, f
