LM3224615kHz/1.25MHz Step-up PWM DC/DC Converter | Evaluation Boards | 3 | Active | The LM3224 is a step-up DC/DC converter with a 0.15Ω (typ.), 2.45A (typ.) internal switch and pin selectable operating frequency. With the ability to convert 3.3V to multiple outputs of 8V, -8V, and 23V, the LM3224 is an ideal part for biasing TFT displays. With the high current switch it is also ideal for driving high current white LEDs for flash applications. The LM3224 can be operated at switching frequencies of 615kHz and 1.25MHz allowing for easy filtering and low noise. An external compensation pin gives the user flexibility in setting frequency compensation, which makes possible the use of small, low ESR ceramic capacitors at the output. An external soft-start pin allows the user to control the amount of inrush current during start up. The LM3224 is available in a low profile 8-lead VSSOP package.

LM323-N3A 5V Fixed Output Linear Regulator | Integrated Circuits (ICs) | 3 | Active | The LM123 is a three-terminal positive regulator with a preset 5V output and a load driving capability of 3 amps. New circuit design and processing techniques are used to provide the high output current without sacrificing the regulation characteristics of lower current devices.
The LM323A offers improved precision over the standard LM323. Parameters with tightened specifications include output voltage tolerance, line regulation, and load regulation.
The 3 amp regulator is virtually blowout proof. Current limiting, power limiting, and thermal shutdown provide the same high level of reliability obtained with these techniques in the LM109 1 amp regulator.
No external components are required for operation of the LM123. If the device is more than 4 inches from the filter capacitor, however, a 1 µF solid tantalum capacitor should be used on the input. A 0.1 µF or larger capacitor may be used on the output to reduce load transient spikes created by fast switching digital logic, or to swamp out stray load capacitance.
An overall worst case specification for the combined effects of input voltage, load currents, ambient temperature, and power dissipation ensure that the LM123 will perform satisfactorily as a system element.
For applications requiring other voltages, see LM150 series adjustable regulator data sheet.
Operation is guaranteed over the junction temperature range -55°C to +150°C for LM123, -40°C to +125°C for LM323A, and 0°C to +125°C for LM323. A hermetic TO-3 package is used for high reliability and low thermal resistance.

LM32426MHz, 750mA Miniature, Adjustable, Step-Down DC-DC Converter with Bypass | Power Management - Specialized | 1 | Active | The LM3242 is a DC-DC converter optimized for powering RF power amplifiers (PAs) from a single lithium-ion cell; however, it may be used in many other applications. It steps down an input voltage from 2.7 V to 5.5 V to an adjustable output voltage from 0.4 V to 3.6 V. Output voltage is set using a VCON analog input for controlling power levels and efficiency of the RF PA.
The LM3242 offers five modes of operation. In PWM mode the device operates at a fixed frequency of 6 MHz (typical) which minimizes RF interference when driving medium-to-heavy loads. At light load, the device enters into ECO mode automatically and operates with reduced switching frequency. In ECO mode, the quiescent current is reduced and extends the battery life. Shutdown mode turns the device off and reduces battery consumption to 0.1 µA (typical). In low-battery condition Bypass mode reduces the voltage dropout to less than 50 mV (typical). The part also features a Sleep mode.
The LM3242 is available in a 9-bump lead-free DSBGA package. A high switching frequency (6 MHz) allows use of only three tiny surface-mount components: one inductor and two ceramic capacitors.

LM32432.7MHz, 2.5A Step-Down DC-DC Converter with Analog Bypass Mode for 2G/3G/4G PAs | Evaluation Boards | 3 | Active | The LM3243 is a DC-DC converter optimized for powering multi-mode 2G, 3G, and 4G RF power amplifiers (PAs) from a single Lithium-Ion cell. The LM3243 steps down an input voltage from 2.7 V to 5.5 V to a dynamically adjustable output voltage of 0.4 V to 3.6 V. The output voltage is set through a VCON analog input that adjusts the output voltage to ensure efficient operation at all power levels of the RF PA.
The LM3243 operates in constant frequency PWM mode producing a small and predictable amount of output voltage ripple. This enables best ECTEL power requirements in GMSK and EDGE spectral compliance, with the minimal amount of filtering and excess headroom. When operating in PFM mode, the LM3243 enables the lowest DG09 current consumption and therefore maximizes system efficiency.
The LM3243 has a unique ctive urrent assist and analog ypass (ACB) feature to minimize inductor size without any loss of output regulation for the entire battery voltage and RF output power range, until dropout. ACB provides a parallel current path, when needed, to limit the maximum inductor current to 1.4 A (typical) while still driving a 2.5-A load. The ACB also enables operation with minimal dropout voltage. When considering using the LM3243 in a system design, see the Layout section of this data sheet.
