DESCRIPTION
The LM3100 Synchronously Rectified Buck Converter features all functions needed to implement a highly
efficient, cost effective buck regulator capable of supplying 1.5A to loads with voltages as low as 0.8V. Dual 40V
N-Channel synchronous MOSFET switches allow for low external component thus reducing complexity and
minimizing board space. The LM3100 is designed to work exceptionally well with ceramic and other very low
ESR output capacitors. The Constant ON-Time (COT) regulation scheme requires no loop compensation, results
in fast load transient response, and simplifies circuit implementation. Through the use of a unique design the
regulator does not rely on output capacitor ESR for stability, as do most other COT regulators. The operating
frequency remains nearly constant with line and load variations due to the inverse relationship between the input
voltage and the on-time. The oprating frequency can be externally programmed up to 1MHz. Protection features
include VCC under-voltage lockout, thermal shutdown and gate drive under-voltage lockout. The part is available
in a thermally enhanced eTSSOP-20 package
