1-A Maximum Load Current for
VIN = 3.9 V to 5.5 V
3 Description
800-mA Maximum Load Current for
VIN = 3.4 V to 3.8 V
The LM3668-Q1 is a synchronous buck-boost DC-DC
converter optimized for automotive requirements and
input voltage rails between 2.7 V and 5.5 V. It has the
capability to support up to 1-A output current over the
output voltage range. The LM3668-Q1 regulates the
output voltage over the complete input voltage range
by automatically switching between buck or boost
modes depending on the input voltage.

2.2-MHz PWM Fixed Switching Frequency
(Typical)
The LM3668-Q1 has 2 N-channel MOSFETS and 2
P-channel MOSFETS arranged in a topology that
provides continuous operation through the buck and
boost operating modes. There is a MODE pin that
allows the user to choose between an intelligent
automatic PFM-PWM mode operation and forced

frequency 2.2 MHz (typical) is used. PWM mode
drives load up to 1 A. Hysteretic PFM mode extends
the battery life through reduction of the quiescent
current to 45 µA (typical) at light loads during system
standby. Internal synchronous rectification provides
high efficiency. In shutdown mode (EN pin pulled
low), the device turns off and reduces battery
consumption to 0.01 µA (typical).

A high switching frequency of 2.2 MHz (typical)
allows the use of tiny surface-mount components
including a 2.2-µH inductor, a 10-µF input capacitor,
and a 22-µF output capacitor.
