DESCRIPTION
Available in Fixed Output Voltages as well as
an Adjustable Version
The LM3670 step-down DC-DC converter is
optimized for powering ultra-low voltage circuits from
a single Li-Ion cell or 3 cell NiMH/NiCd batteries. It
provides up to 350 mA load current, over an input
voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V. 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 PWM low-noise and
PFM low-current mode offers improved system
control. During full-power operation, a fixed-frequency
1 MHz (typ). PWM mode drives loads from ∼70 mA to
350 mA max, with up to 95% efficiency. Hysteretic
PFM mode extends the battery life through reduction
of the quiescent current to 15 µA (typ) during light
current loads and system standby. Internal
synchronous rectification provides high efficiency (90
to 95% typ. at loads between 1 mA and 100 mA). In
shutdown mode (Enable pin pulled low) the device
turns off and reduces battery consumption to 0.1 µA
(typ.).
