Key Features
- Dual synchronous step-down converter with dynamic voltage scaling enabling real-time output voltage adjustment for processor core DVFS applications
- Automatic PWM/PFM mode switching maximizes efficiency from light load to full load across a 2.7 V to 5.5 V input range
- Compact 16-pin SON (no-lead) package with integrated FETs reducing external component count and PCB area in space-constrained mobile designs
Applications
LM3370SD-3021 is used in portable consumer electronics, smartphones, and tablets where dual power rails for application processors and memory must be efficiently generated from a single 3.6 V lithium-ion cell. The dynamic voltage scaling feature enables the host processor to reduce core voltage during light workloads, extending battery run time by 20 to 30 percent compared to fixed-output converters. Its automatic PWM/PFM mode maintains high efficiency even at load currents below 10 mA, making it suitable for standby power states in wireless devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does dynamic voltage scaling in LM3370SD-3021 reduce power consumption in mobile processors?
Dynamic voltage scaling allows the host processor to command the LM3370SD-3021 to lower its output voltage during low-performance operating modes, reducing core power proportional to VDD squared. For a processor dropping from 1.2 V to 0.9 V core voltage, power consumption decreases by approximately 44 percent, significantly extending battery life in smartphones and tablets running from a 3.6 V lithium-ion cell.
What input voltage range does LM3370SD-3021 support and which battery chemistries are compatible?
LM3370SD-3021 accepts input voltages from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, covering the full discharge curve of single-cell lithium-ion (2.7 V to 4.2 V) and lithium-polymer batteries. The 5.5 V maximum also accommodates USB 5 V VBUS power input, making LM3370SD-3021 suitable for dual-mode charging and battery-powered operation without additional input regulation.
How does the automatic PWM/PFM switching in LM3370SD-3021 maintain efficiency at light loads?
At load currents below a threshold of typically 30 to 50 mA, LM3370SD-3021 automatically switches from PWM to PFM (pulse-frequency modulation) mode, reducing switching losses and maintaining converter efficiency above 80 percent even at 1 mA loads. This prevents the efficiency collapse common in fixed-PWM converters during standby or sleep states in battery-powered IoT and mobile devices.
What package does LM3370SD-3021 use and how does it reduce PCB footprint?
LM3370SD-3021 comes in a 16-pin SON (small outline no-lead) package with an exposed thermal pad, measuring approximately 4 mm x 4 mm. The integrated synchronous FETs eliminate the need for external power transistors, and the no-lead package enables tight component spacing with 0.5 mm pitch pads, reducing the total power supply footprint to under 25 mm² including passive components.
