EUP3401

EUP3401 2A, 3MHz Synchronous Step-Down DC-DC with I2C Compatible Interface DESCRIPTION The EUP3401 is a high-frequency synchronous step-down dc-dc converter optimized for batterypowered portable applications. Intended for low-power applications, the EUP3401 supports up to 2A load current and allows the use of small, low cost inductors and capacitors. The device is ideal for mobile phones and similar portable applications powered by a single-cell Li-Ion battery. With an output voltage range adjustable via I2C interface from 0.75V to 1.5375V, the device supports low-voltage DSPs and processors core power supplies in smart-phones, PDAs, and handheld computers. The EUP3401 operates at 3-MHz fixed switching frequency. During light load conditions, the regulator includes a PFM mode to enhance light-load efficiency. The regulator transitions smoothly between PWM and PFM modes. In shutdown mode, the current is reduced to less than 200nA. The serial interface is compatible with Fast/Standard and High-Speed mode I2C specification allowing transfers at up to 3.4 Mbps. This communication interface is used for dynamic voltage scaling with voltage steps down to 12.5 mV, for reprogramming the mode of operation (PFM or Forced PWM) or disable/ enabling the output voltage.
