DESCRIPTION
The KB3408 is a high efficiency monolithic synchro-
nous buck regulator using a constant frequency, current
mode architecture. The device is available in an adjustable
version and fixed output voltages of 1.8V and 3.3V. Supply
current during operation is only 20µA and drops to )1µA
in shutdown. The 2.5V to 7.4V input voltage range makes
the KB3408 ideally suited for single Li-Ion battery-pow-
ered 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 feed-
back reference voltage. The KB3408 is available in a low
profile (1mm) SOT23-5 package.
