1.5MHz, 2A, Synchronous
Step-Down Regulator Dropout
EC3217
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The EC3217 is a high efficiency monolithic synchronous
buck regulator using a constant frequency, current mode
architecture. The device is available in an adjustable
version . Supply current during operation is only 20mA
and drops to ≤1mA in shutdown. The 2.5V to 5.5V
input voltage range makes the EC3217 ideally suited for
single Li-Ion battery-powered applications. 100% duty
cycle provides low dropout operation, extending battery
life in portable systems. Automatic Burst Mode operation
increases efficiency at light loads, further extending
battery life. Switching frequency is internally set at
1.5MHz, allowing the use of small surface mount
inductors and capacitors. The internal synchronous
switch increases efficiency and eliminates the need for
an external Schottky diode. Low output voltages are
easily supported with the 0.6V feedback reference
voltage. The EC3217 is available in TSOT23-5
package.
