LM3242 Datasheet Step-Down DC-DC Converter

Manufacturer: Texas Instruments

General Description

The LM3242 is a DC-DC converter optimized for powering RF power amplifiers (PAs) from a single lithium-ion cell;

however, it may be used in many other applications.

It steps down an input voltage from 2.7 V to 5.5 V to an adjustable output voltage from 0.4 V to 3.6 V.
