Pre-bias Startup DESCRIPTION
The LM3103 Synchronously Rectified Buck Converter
Ultra-Fast Transient Response
features all required functions to implement a highly
Programmable Soft-Start
efficient and cost effective buck regulator. It is
Programmable Switching Frequency up to 1
capable of supplying 0.75A to loads with an output

voltage as low as 0.6V. Dual N-Channel synchronous
MOSFET switches allow a low component count, thus
