3Description
TheLM3670step-downDC-DCconverteris
optimized for powering ultralow voltage circuits from a
single Li-Ion cell or three-cell NiMH/NiCd batteries. It
provides up to 350-mA load current, over an input
voltage range from 2.5 V to 5.5 V. There are several
different fixed voltage output options available as well
as an adjustable output voltage version.
The device offers superior features and performance
for mobile phones and similar portable applications
with complex power management systems. Automatic
intelligent switching between pulse width modulation
(PWM) low-noise and pulse frequency modulation
(PFM) low-current mode offers improved system
control. During full-power operation, a fixed-frequency
1-MHz (typical) PWM mode drives loads from
approximately 70 mA to 350 mA maximum, with up to
95% efficiency. Hysteretic PFM mode extends the
battery life through reduction of the quiescent current
to 15 µA (typical) during light current loads and
system standby. Internal synchronous rectification
provides high efficiency (90% to 95% typical at loads
between 1 mA and 100 mA). In shutdown mode
(enable (EN) pin pulled low) the device turns off and
reduces battery consumption to 0.1 µA (typical).
The LM3670 is available in a 5-pin SOT-23 package.
A high switching frequency (1 MHz typical) allows use
oftinysurface-mountcomponents.Onlythree
external surface-mount components, an inductor and
two ceramic capacitors, are required.
