The LM2734Z regulator is a monolithic, high-frequency, PWM step-down DC–DC converter assembled in a thick 6-pin SOT and a WSON non-pullback package. The device provides all the active functions to provide local DC–DC conversion with fast transient response and accurate regulation in the smallest possible PCB area.

With a minimum of external components and online design support through WEBENCH™, the LM2734Z is easy to use. The ability to drive 1-A loads with an internal 300-mΩ NMOS switch using state-of-the-art 0.5-µm BiCMOS technology results in the best power density available. The world class control circuitry allows for ON-times as low as 13 ns, thus supporting exceptionally high-frequency conversion over the entire 3-V to 20-V input operating range down to the minimum output voltage of 0.8 V. Switching frequency is internally set to 3 MHz, allowing the use of extremely small surface mount inductors and chip capacitors. Even though the operating frequency is very high, efficiencies up to 85% are easy to achieve. External shutdown is included, featuring an ultra-low standby current of 30 nA. The LM2734Z uses current-mode control and internal compensation to provide high-performance regulation over a wide range of operating conditions. Additional features include internal soft-start circuitry to reduce inrush current, pulse-by-pulse current limit, thermal shutdown, and output overvoltage protection.

Evaluation board

LM2734ZEVAL — Thin SOT23 1A Load Step-Down DC-DC Regulator Evaluation Module

The LM2734 demo board is configured to convert 5V input to 1.8V output at 1A load current using the LM2734X 1.6MHz or the LM2734Y 550kHz step down DC-DC regulator. The tiny low profile thin SOT23 package allows the demo board to be manufactured using less than 1 square inch of a 4-layer printed (...)
