, the LM2736 is easy to use.
The ability to drive 750mA loads with an internal 350m鈩?/div>
NMOS switch using state-of-the-art 0.5碌m BiCMOS technol-
ogy results in the best power density available. The world
class control circuitry allows for on-times as low as 13ns,
thus supporting exceptionally high frequency conversion
over the entire 3V to 18V input operating range down to the
minimum output voltage of 1.25V. Switching frequency is
internally set to 550kHz (LM2736Y) or 1.6MHz (LM2736X),
allowing the use of extremely small surface mount inductors
and chip capacitors. Even though the operating frequencies
are very high, efficiencies up to 90% are easy to achieve.
External shutdown is included, featuring an ultra-low
stand-by current of 30nA. The LM2736 utilizes current-mode
control and internal compensation to provide high-
performance regulation over a wide range of operating con-
ditions. Additional features include internal soft-start circuitry
to reduce inrush current, pulse-by-pulse current limit, ther-
mal shutdown, and output over-voltage protection.
