LM3218 Datasheet (National Semiconductor) - Step-Down DC-DC Converter

LM3218, Step-Down DC-DC Converter

The LM3218 is a DC-DC converter with inductor which is optimized for powering RF power amplifiers (PAs) from a single Lithium-Ion cell.

It steps down an input voltage in the range from 2.7V to 5.5V to an adjustable output voltage of 0.8V to 3.6V.

Output voltage is set by using a VCON analog input to
