General Description
The UM3521DA is a high efficiency synchronous step down dc/dc converter optimized for battery
powered applications. It provides up to 600mA output current from a single Li-ion cell and is ideal
to power mobile phones and other portable applications. With wide input voltage range of 2.0V to
5.5V, the device supports applications powered by Li-ion batteries with extended voltage range,
two and three cell alkaline batteries 3.3V and 5V input voltages rails. The UM3521DA operates at
2.25MHz fixed switching frequency and enters Power Save Mode operation at light load current
to maintain high efficiency over the entire load current range. The Power Save Mode is optimized
for low output voltage ripple. For low noise applications, the device can be forced into fixed
frequency PWM mode by pulling the MODE pin high. In the shutdown mode, the current
consumption is reduced to less than 1uA. UM3521DA allows the use of small inductors and
capacitors to achieve a small solution size.
