CM3708A 3A LOW-NOISE PWM STEP-DOWN REGULATOR GENERAL DESCRIPTION FEATURES The CM3708A 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 CM3708A is ideally suited for Li-lon battery applications. It is also useful for +3V or +5V fixed input applications. Patent Filed #6,452,366 600KHz switching and synchronization Dynamic output-voltage adjustment from VREF to VIN 3A Guaranteed Output Current 95% Efficiency No Schottky Diode Required 16-pin PSOP/PTSSOP power packages 6A Low Noise Current Limit Protection 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. External Soft Start Rail to Rail output Buck Converter The CM3708A can deliver over 3.0A. The output voltage can be adjusted from VREF to VIN. The input range is from 2.0V to 5.5V. Other features of the CM3708A include high efficiency, low dropout voltage. It is available in a space-saving 16-pin SOP & TSSOP package.

An internal synchronous rectifier voltages (LX1, LX2). If a specific voltage is forced at the VREF improves efficiency and eliminates an external Schottky diode. pin, the output voltage follows the voltage at the VREF pin. Fixed-frequency operation enables easy post-filtering, thereby providing excellent noise characteristics. As a result, the OTHER SUPPLY VOLTAGES CM3708A is an ideal choice for many small wireless systems. Several inputs are provided for the supply voltages: PVIN and VIN. VREF The PVIN provide the power supply to the power MOSFETs. The reference voltage could be ranged from 0V to VIN. VIN provides the voltage supply to the logic section and internal error amplifiers. OUPUTS The output voltage pins (LX1, LX2) are tied to the RF power amp, via an external inductor. Output voltage is determined by FEEDBACK the VREF inputs so it can be from 0V to VIN. The VFB pin is an input that can be used for closed loop Internal Power Switches: compensation. This input is derived from the voltage output. CM3708A has been integrated 2 Power MOSFETs whose AGND pin is a contact node of internal resistor divider for RDS(ON) is around 100m Ohm each. remote sense. Low Noise Current Limit: CM3708A’s current limit is a low noise current limit. It increase the system loop noise immunity while it is doing the current limit protection for the system. The current limit is around 6A for the normal 3A operation.
