The LM3100 Synchronously Rectified Buck Converter features all functions needed to
implement a highly efficient, cost effective buck regulator capable of supplying 1.5 A to loads
with voltages as low as 0.8 V. Dual 40 V N-Channel synchronous MOSFET switches allow for low
external component 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 operating frequency can be externally programmed up to 1 MHz.
Protection features include VCC under-voltage lockout, thermal shutdown and
gate drive under-voltage lockout. The part is available in a thermally enhanced HTSSOP-20
package
