Synchronous 1MHz 1.5A
Step-Down Voltage Regulator
General Description
The LM3100 Synchronously Rectified Buck Converter fea-
tures 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 com-
ponent 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 V

under-voltage lockout, thermal shutdown and
gate drive under-voltage lockout. The part is available in a
thermally enhanced eTSSOP-20 package
