LM3279 Overview
The LM3279 is a buck-boost DC/DC converter designed to generate output voltages above or below a given input voltage and is particularly suitable for Power Amplifiers operating from single-cell Li-Ion batteries in portable applications. The LM3279 has four modes of operation: Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM), standby, and shutdown.
