GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CM3708A is a low-noise, pulse-width-modulated (PWM),
DC-DC step-down converter. It powers logic and transmitters
in small wireless systems such as cellular phones,
communicating PDAs, and handy-terminals. The device
features an internal synchronous rectifier for high efficiency; it
requires no external Schottky diode. Excellent noise
characteristics and fixed-frequency operation provide easy
post-filtering. The CM3708A is ideally suited for Li-lon battery
applications. It is also useful for +3V or +5V fixed input
applications.
The device operates in one of four modes. Forced PWM
mode operates at a fixed frequency regardless of the load.
Shutdown mode places the device in standby, reducing
quiescent supply current to under 0.1µA.
The CM3708A can deliver over 3.0A. The output voltage can
be adjusted from VREF to VIN. The input range is from 2.0V
to 5.0V. Other features of the CM3708A include high
efficiency, low dropout voltage. It is available in a
space-saving 16-pin SOP & TSSOP package.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CM3708A step-down, pulse-width-modulated (PWM),
DC-DC converter has an adjustable output range from VREF
to the input voltage (VIN). An internal synchronous rectifier
Fixed-frequency operation enables easy post-filtering, thereby
providing excellent noise characteristics. As a result, the
CM3708A is an ideal choice for many small wireless systems.
VREF
The reference voltage could be ranged from 0V to VIN.
INPUTS
The input voltage reference pin, VREF determine the output
voltages (LX1, LX2). If a specific voltage is forced at the VREF
improves efficiency and eliminates an external Schottky diode. pin, the output voltage follows the voltage at the VREF pin.
OTHER SUPPLY VOLTAGES
Several inputs are provided for the supply voltages: PVIN and
VIN.
The PVIN provide the power supply to the power MOSFETs.
VIN provides the voltage supply to the logic section and internal
error amplifiers.
OUPUTS
The output voltage pins (LX1, LX2) are tied to the RF power
amp, via an external inductor. Output voltage is determined by
the VREF inputs so it can be from 0V to VIN.
Internal Power Switches:
CM3708A has been integrated 2 Power MOSFETs whose
RDS
(ON)
is around 100m Ohm each.
Low Noise Current Limit:
CM3708A’s current limit is a low noise current limit. It increase
the system loop noise immunity while it is doing the current
limit protection for the system. The current limit is around 6A
for the normal 3A operation.
FEEDBACK
The VFB pin is an input that can be used for closed loop
compensation. This input is derived from the voltage output.
AGND pin is a contact node of internal resistor divider for
remote sense.
