The LM1770 is an efficient synchronous buck switching controller in a tiny SOT-23
package. The constant on-time control scheme provides a simple design free of compensation
components, allowing minimal component count and board space. It also incorporates a unique input
feed-forward to maintain a constant frequency independent of the input voltage. The LM1770 is
optimized for a low voltage input range of 2.8V to 5.5V and can provide an adjustable output as low
as 0.8V. Driving an external high side PFET and low side NFET it can provide efficiencies as high
as 95%.
Three versions of the LM1770 are available depending on the switching frequency desired
for the application. Nominal switching frequencies are in the range of 100kHz to 1000kHz.
