LM3218 - Step-Down DC-DC Converter

Description

The LM3218 is a DC-DC converter with inductor which is optimized for powering RF power amplifiers (PAs) from a single Lithium-Ion cell.

It steps down an input voltage in the range from 2.7V to 5.5V to an adjustable output voltage of 0.8V to 3.6V.

LM3218 650 mA Miniature, Adjustable, Step-Down DC-DC Converter with Integrated Inductor for RF Power Amplifiers January 21, 2009 LM3218 650 mA Miniature, Adjustable, Step-Down DC-DC Converter for RF Power Amplifiers General Description The LM3218 is a DC-DC converter with inductor which is optimized for powering RF power amplifiers (PAs) from a single Lithium-Ion cell. It steps down an input voltage in the range from 2.7V to 5.5V to an adjustable output voltage of 0.8V to 3.6V. Output voltage is set by using a VCON analog input to control power levels and efficiency of the RF PA. The LM3218 offers superior electrical performance for mobile phones and similar RF PA applications with a reduced footprint (3mm x 2.5mm x 1.2mm). Fixed-frequency PWM operation minimizes RF interference.
