CM3706A
1.5MHz, 600mA Synchronous Step-Down Regulator
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CM3706A is a high efficiency monolithic synchronous
buck regulator using a constant frequency, current mode
architecture. The device is available in an adjustable
version. Supply current with no load is 300uA and drops to
<1uA in shutdown. The 2.5V to 6.5V input voltage range
makes the CM3706A ideally suited for single Li-Ion, two to
four AA battery-powered applications. 100% duty cycle
provides low dropout operation, extending battery life in
portable systems. PWM pulse skipping mode operation
provides very low output ripple voltage for noise sensitive
applications. Switching frequency is internally set at
1.5MHz, allowing the use of small surface mount inductors
and capacitors. The internal synchronous switch increases
efficiency and eliminates the need for an external Schottky
diode. Low output voltages are easily supported with the
0.6V feedback reference voltage.

Ground Pin.
Power Switch Output. It is the Switch note connection to Inductor. This pin connects to the
drains of the internal P-CH and N-CH MOSFET switches.
Supply Input Pin. Must be closely decoupled to GND, Pin 2, with a 2.2µF or greater ceramic
capacitor.
VFB (CM3706A): Feedback Input Pin. Connect FB to the center point of the external resistor
divider. The feedback threshold voltage is 0.6V.
In shutdown, all functions are disabled drawing <1µA supply
current. Do not leave RUN floating.
