The LM3677 step-down DC-DC converter is optimized for powering ultra-low voltage circuits
from a single Li-Ion cell battery and input voltage rails from 2.7V to 5.5V. It provides up to 600
mA load current over the entire input voltage range. The LM3677 is configured to different fixed
voltage output options as well as an adjustable output voltage version range from 1.2V to
3.3V.
The device offers superior features and performance for mobile phones and similar
portable applications with complex power management systems. Automatic intelligent switching
between PWM low-noise and PFM low-current mode offers improved system control. During PWM mode
operation, the device operates at a fixed frequency of 3 MHz (typ). PWM mode drives loads from ~ 80
mA to 600 mA max. Hysteretic PFM mode extends the battery life by reducing the quiescent current to
16 µA (typ.) during light load and standby operation. Internal synchronous rectification provides
high efficiency. In shutdown mode (Enable pin pulled down), the device turns off and reduces
battery consumption to 0.01 µA (typ.).
The LM3677 is available in a lead-free (NOPB) 5-bump DSBGA package and 6-pin USON
package. A switching frequency of 3 MHz (typ.) allows use of tiny surface-mount components. Only
three external surface-mount components, an inductor and two ceramic capacitors, are
required.
