DESCRIPTION
±1.5% DC Output Voltage Precision Over
Temperature
The LM8801 step-down DC-DC converter is
optimized for powering ultra-low voltage circuits from
a single Li-Ion cell and input voltage rails from 2.3V to
5.5V. It provides up to 600 mA load current over the
entire input voltage range.

Automatic PFM/PWM Mode Switching
Current Overload and Thermal Shutdown
Protection
The LM8801 has a mode-control pin that allows the
user to select continuous PWM operation over the
complete load range or an auto PFM-PWM mode that
changes modes automatically depending on the load.
During PWM mode, the device operates at a fixed-
frequency of 6 MHz (typ.). In Auto PFM-PWM mode,
hysteretic PFM extends the battery life through
reduction of the quiescent current during light loads
and system standby.
