3 Description
The LM2831 regulator is a monolithic, high-
frequency, PWM step-down DC-DC converter in a 5-
pin SOT-23 and a 6-Pin WSON package. The
LM2831 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, the
LM2831 is easy to use. The ability to drive 1.5-A
loads with an internal 130-mΩ PMOS switch using
state-of-the-art 0.5-µm BiCMOS technology results in
the best power density available. The world-class
control circuitry allows on-times as low as 30 ns, thus
supporting exceptionally high frequency conversion
over the entire 3 V to 5.5 V input operating range,
down to the minimum output voltage of 0.6 V.
Switching frequency is internally set to 550 kHz, 1.6
MHz, or 3 MHz, allowing the use of extremely small
surface mount inductors and chip capacitors. Even
though the operating frequency is high, efficiencies of
up to 93% are easy to achieve. External shutdown is
included, featuring an ultra-low standby current of 30
nA. The LM2831 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 overvoltage protection.
