ME3103
1A Step-Down DC-DC Converter ME3103
General Description
The ME3103 is a step-down current-mode, DC-DC converter. At heavy load, the constant-frequency PWM control performs excellent stability and transient response. To ensure the longest battery life in portable applications, the ME3103 provides a power-saving pulse -Skipping Modulation (PSM) mode to reduce quiescent current under light load operation to save power.
The ME3103 supports a range of input voltages from 2.5V to 5.5V, allowing the use of a single Li+/Li-polymer cell, multiple Alkaline/NiMH cell, USB, and other standard power sources. The output voltage is adjustable from 0.6V to the input voltage, while the part number suffix ME3103 indicates pre-set output voltage of 3.3V, 2.8V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.5V, 1.2V or adjustable.
