KB3511

The KB3511 is a high efficiency monolithic synchronous buck regulator using a constant frequency, current mode architecture. The device is available in an adjustable version and fixed output voltages of 1.8V and 3.3V. Supply current during operation is only 25A and drops to 1A in shutdown. The 2.5V to 6.5V input voltage range makes the KB3511 ideally suited for single Li-Ion battery-powered applications. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation, extending battery life in portable systems. Automatic Trickle Mode operation increases efficiency at light loads, further extending battery life. Switching frequency is internally set at 2.2MHz, 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. The KB3511 is available in a low profile (0.8mm) DFN33-10 package.
