The LM3691 step-down DC-DC converter is optimized for powering ultra-low-voltage circuits
from a single Li-Ion cell or 3 cell NiMH/NiCd batteries. It provides up to 1-A load current over an
input voltage range from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. There are several different fixed voltage output options
available.
The LM3691 has a mode-control pin that allows the user to select Forced PWM mode or ECO
mode that changes modes between gated PWM mode and PWM automatically, depending on the load. In ECO
mode, the device offers superior efficiency and very low IQ under light load
conditions. ECO mode extends the battery life through reduction of the quiescent current during
light load conditions and system standby.
The LM3691 is available in a 6-pin DSBGA package. Only three external surface-mount
components, a
1-μH inductor, a 4.7-μF input capacitor, and a 4.7-μF output capacitor, are required.
For all available packages, see the orderable addendum at the
end of the data sheet.
