GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CM3718C is a low-noise, pulse-width-modulated (PWM),
DC-DC step-down converter. It powers logic and transmitters
in small wireless systems such as cellular phones,
communicating PDAs, and handy-terminals. The device
features an internal synchronous rectifier for high efficiency; it
requires no external Schottky diode. Excellent noise
characteristics and fixed-frequency operation provide easy
post-filtering. The CM3718C is ideally suited for Li-lon battery
applications. It is also useful for +3V or +5V fixed input
applications.
The device operates in one of four modes. Forced PWM
mode operates at a fixed frequency regardless of the load.
Shutdown mode places the device in standby, reducing
quiescent supply current to under 0.1μA.
The CM3718C can deliver over 1.5A. The output voltage can
be adjusted from VREF to VIN. The input range is from 2.0V
to 5.0V. Other features of the CM3718C include high
efficiency, low dropout voltage. It is available in a
space-saving 8-pin SOP package.
