The LM3281 is ideal for “always on” applications with very low unloaded quiescent current of 16 µA (typ.). The LM3281 steps down an input supply voltage to a fixed output voltage of 3.3 V with output current up to 1200 m A. Five different modes of operation are used to optimize efficiency and minimize battery drain. In Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode, the device operates at a fixed frequency of 6 MHz which minimizes RF interference when driving medium-toheavy loads. At light load, the device automatically enters into Economy (ECO) mode with reduced quiescent current. In a low-battery voltage condition, a bypass mode reduces the voltage dropout to 60 m V (typ.) at 600 m A. If very low output voltage ripple is desired at light loads, the device can also be forced into PWM mode. Shutdown mode turns the device off and reduces battery consumption to 0.1 μA (typ.).
