National Semiconductor LM2734 Thin SOT23 1A Load Step-Down DC-DC Regulator Handbook
The LM2734 regulator is a monolithic, high‑frequency PWM step‑down converter packaged in a 6‑pin Thin SOT23‑6. It operates from a 3 V to 20 V input range and provides a selectable 0.8 V to 18 V output at up to 1 A load current. Features include internal soft‑start, pulse‑by‑pulse current limit, thermal shutdown, and an ultra‑low 30 nA shutdown current, making it suitable for space‑constrained designs.
Typical applications listed are battery‑powered devices, USB‑powered devices, DSL modems, notebook computers and automotive systems. The datasheet provides absolute maximum ratings, electrical characteristics, pin descriptions, typical performance curves, and a block diagram to aid designers in implementing the regulator with minimal external components.
