3 Description
The LM2736 regulator is a monolithic, high frequency,
PWM step-down DC/DC converter in a 6-pin Thin
SOT package. It provides all the active functions to
provide local DC/DC conversion with fast transient
response and accurate regulation in the smallest
possible PCB area.
With a minimum of external components and online
design support through WEBENCH®, the LM2736 is
easy to use. The ability to drive 750 mA loads with an
internal 350 mΩ NMOS switch using state-of-the-art
0.5 µm BiCMOS technology results in the best power
density available. The world class control circuitry
allows for on-times as low as 13 ns, thus supporting
exceptionally high frequency conversion over the
entire 3 V to 18 V input operating range down to the
minimum output voltage of 1.25 V. Switching
frequency is internally set to 550 kHz (LM2736Y) or
1.6 MHz (LM2736X), allowing the use of extremely
small surface mount inductors and chip capacitors.
Even though the operating frequencies are very high,
efficiencies up to 90% are easy to achieve. External
shutdown is included, featuring an ultra-low stand-by
current of 30 nA. The LM2736 utilizes current-mode
control and internal compensation to provide high-
performance regulation over a wide range of
operating conditions. Additional features include
internal soft-start circuitry to reduce inrush current,
pulse-by-pulse current limit, thermal shutdown, and
output over-voltage protection.
