Product Description
The CM3702 low-noise charge pump LDO regulator is
designed to provide accurate and "clean" power to a
subsystem, e.g an LED driver, audio codec or flash
memory. The 5V output provides up to 100mA continu-
ous current for input voltages from 3.0V to 5.5V, and
up to 200mA for a narrower range. This is accom-
plished with an integrated charge pump that boosts the
input voltage before feeding it to an internal LDO linear
regulator. The charge pump is designed to maintain a
nominal 0.8V differential between the input and output
of the LDO regulator. This allows the LDO regulator to
operate with good power supply ripple rejection across
the audio band while maintaining good power effi-
ciency. The charge pump works with two external
capacitors and operates at 250kHz, well outside the
audible frequency band. In addition, separate analog
and digital ground pins are provided for the charge
pump and the rest of the circuitry to eliminate ground
noise feed-through from the charge pump to the regu-
lated output.
The CM3702 is fully protected, offering both overload
current limiting and high temperature thermal shut-
down. (cont’d next page)
