General Description
UM3501 is a high-efficiency pulse-width-modulated (PWM) step-down DC-DC converter,
capable of delivering 600mA output current over a wide input voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V.
The target application of UM3501 is for portable electronic devices that are powered from 1-cell
Li-ion battery or from other power sources within the range such as cellular phones, PDAs and
handy-terminals. Internal synchronous rectifier with low R
DS(ON)
dramatically reduces conduction
loss at PWM mode. No external schottky diode is required in practical application. The UM3501
automatically turns off the synchronous rectifier while the inductor current is low and enters
discontinuous PWM mode. This can increase efficiency at light load condition.
UM3501 enter shutdown mode and consumes less than 0.1uA when EN pin is pulled low. The
operation frequency is set to 1.2MHz. This along with small SOT23-5 package and DFN6 2.0×
2.0
package provides small PCB area application. Other features include lower internal reference
voltage with 2% accuracy, over temperature protection, and over current protection.

Function
Supply input pin. Must be closely decoupled to GND,
Pin2, with a 4.7μF or greater ceramic capacitor.
Ground.
Regulator enable control input. Drive EN above 1.0V
to turn on the part. Drive EN below 0.4V to turn it
off. In shutdown, all functions are disabled drawing
<1μA supply current. Do not leave EN floating.
Feedback input pin. Connect FB to the center point of
the external resistor divider.
Power switch output. It is the switch node connection to
Inductor.
This pin connects to the drains of the internal P-CH and
N-CH MOSFET switches.
Not connected.
