DESCRIPTION
Available in Fixed Output Voltages as well as
The LM3670 step-down DC-DC converter is
an Adjustable Version

voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V. There are several
different fixed voltage output options available as well

of the quiescent current to 15 µA (typ) during light
current loads and system standby. Internal
synchronous rectification provides high efficiency (90
to 95% typ. at loads between 1 mA and 100 mA). In
shutdown mode (Enable pin pulled low) the device
turns off and reduces battery consumption to 0.1 µA
(typ.).
