LM3281 3.3-V, 1.2-A, 6-MHz Miniature Step-Down DC-DC Converter  
for Wireless Connectivity Solutions  
1 Features  
3 Description  
The LM3281 is a high-efficiency low-noise miniature  
DC-DC converter optimized for powering noise-  
sensitive wireless connectivity chipsets and RF Front  
End Modules (FEMs) from a single Lithium-Ion cell.  
The LM3281 is ideal for “always on” applications with  
very low unloaded quiescent current of 16 µA (typ.).  
1
Operates from a Single Li-Ion Cell (3 V to 5.5 V)  
6-MHz (typ.) PWM Switching Frequency  
Fixed Output Voltage: 3.3 V  
Up to 1.2-A Maximum Load Capability  
High Efficiency: 94% (typ.) with 3.8-V VIN at  
300 mA  
The LM3281 steps down an input supply voltage to a  
fixed output voltage of 3.3 V with output current up to  
1200 mA. 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-to-  
heavy 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 mV  
(typ.) at 600 mA. 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.).  
Analog Bypass: 60-mV (typ.) Drop-Out at 600 mA  
Low IQ: 16 µA typical, 25 µA maximum  
Automatic ECO/PWM/Bypass Mode Change  
Forced PWM Mode for Low Output-Voltage Ripple

(3) All system characteristics are specified by design, test or statistical analysis and are not specified by production testing.  
(4) Minimum (MIN) and Maximum (MAX) limits apply over the ambient temperature operating range –30°C to 90°C and over the VIN range  
3 V to 5.5 V, unless otherwise noted.  
(5) Refer to section High Maximum Current in this data sheet for load current use case profile.  
(6) Transient magnitude is defined as maximum deviation from final settled value during transient time.  
(7) Transient time is defined as time elapsed from the start of the event to when VOUT is finally within ±50 mV of settled value.  
(8) Transient magnitude does not exceed ± 50 mV of settled value, so transient time is 0 µS.  
(9) This parameter is only applicable when EN is tied to VIN. See Power-On Reset section for further details.

7 Detailed Description  
7.1 Overview  
The LM3281 is a size- and performance-optimized step-down DC-DC converter for powering power amplifiers,  
front-end modules, wireless connectivity solutions, and a wide variety of other applications. The device  
complements the portfolio of SuPA (Supply for PA) products by combining small solution size, low dropout  
analog bypass with smooth mode transitions, very low standby current for always-on applications, very low ripple  
with “forced PWM” mode operation, high maximum output current, ability to drive large load capacitance while  
retaining transient performance, and soft start to limit start-up current.

7.3 Feature Description  
7.3.1 Small Solution Size  
Solution size less than 7.5 mm2 is possible using the LM3281 in combination with only three small passive  
components.  
7.3.2 Automatic Analog Bypass with Low Dropout  
An internal bypass transistor under analog control automatically engages as VIN falls below the VOUT target.  
Output stays regulated in analog bypass mode until full dropout. The parallel impedance of this additional bypass  
transistor with normal DC-DC output path reduces VOUT voltage drop-out, maximizing VOUT supply voltage to the  
load at low VIN conditions. The analog implementation provides a smooth transition among regulation and bypass  
modes, avoiding VOUT distortion.

Feature Description (continued)  
7.3.3 Low IQ  
An ECOnomy (ECO) mode of operation draws 16 µA (typ.) quiescent current, permitting the LM3281 to be used  
in “always-on” applications. This low IQ is achieved over the entire input supply range of 5.5 V to 2.6 V,  
irrespective of whether LM3281 is operating in regulation (ECO Mode or Analog Bypass mode) or in full dropout  
(full bypass).  
7.3.4 Forced PWM Operation  
ECO mode provides low IQ while PWM mode optimizes output voltage ripple and transient performance. When  
high, the MODE pin permits automatic mode selection based on load current. When MODE is pulled low the  
LM3281 enters “forced PWM” operation with very low ripple and optimized transient response. Alternately, the  
MODE pin can be tied high in an application to allow the device to always select a mode of operation  
automatically.  
7.3.5 High Maximum Current  
Load current of 1.2 A is supported with short bursts (of < 100 µS with < 10% duty cycle) up to 1.4 A.  
A wide variety of load current use cases are accommodated by the LM3281. Examples are described in Table 1  
and Table 2: one for high ambient temperature all the time, and one for a more typical ambient temperature use  
case. Many alternate use case scenarios are available; please contact TI to discuss the load current relevant for  
a given application.  
For the high ambient temperature of 85°C for the entire device operational lifetime, see Table 1:

7.3.6 High-Capacitance Load and Line Transient Performance  
The LM3281 is internally compensated to drive loads with large bypass capacitance, including transceiver  
modules, without sacrificing transient performance. Please reference Total Effective Output Capacitance (COUT  
CLOAD1 + CLOAD2) regarding output capacitance requirements.  
+
7.3.7 Soft Start  
During start-up a soft-start feature prevents high input current which could cause supply voltage bus drops and  
interfere with other subsystems sharing the supply bus. Soft start is especially valuable in applications where  
large load capacitance must be charged on start-up. Loading of the output during start-up condition will extend  
the soft-start time. Excessive loading may even prevent the output from reaching the target voltage, and the  
device may therefore stay in the soft-start condition indefinitely.

7.3.8 Thermal Overload Protection  
The LM3281 device has a thermal overload protection that protects the device from short-term misuse and  
overload conditions. If the junction temperature exceeds 150°C, the LM3281 shuts itself down. Normal operation  
resumes after the temperature drops below 125°C. Prolonged operation in thermal overload condition may  
damage the device and is therefore not recommended.  
7.3.9 Current Limit  
The current limit feature allows the LM3281 to protect itself and external components during overload conditions.  
In PWM mode, the cycle-by-cycle current limit of the SW pin is 1.9-A peak, and the bypass current limit is 1.3 A.  
Thus, the total current limit is 2.2 A (typ.). During the start-up condition or when the output voltage is less than  
0.34 V, the SW pin current limit is reduced to 0.85 A peak, and the bypass current is disabled. If excessive load  
prevents the output from rising above 0.34 V for more than 40 μs, the LM3281 enters the short-circuit-protection  
state.  
7.3.10 Power-On Reset  
Some applications may require tying the EN pin directly to the VIN pin. For this reason, the LM3281 features a  
Power on Reset (POR) that ensures that the part will enter a deterministic state when power is first applied.  
When the EN pin is tied directly to the VIN pin, the input power supply needs to rise fast enough for the POR  
circuit to work properly. The VIN voltage should not stay between 1.2 V and 2.6 V for longer than 20 µs. This is  
not required if the EN pin voltage remains below VIL (below 0.2 V) until VIN is at least at 2.6 V.  
7.4 Device Functional Modes  
The LM3281 includes five steady-state modes of operation depending on MODE, VIN, and ILOAD conditions: PWM  
(Pulse Width Modulation), Forced PWM, ECO (ECOnomy), Analog Bypass, and Shutdown. Two protection  
mechanisms include current limiting and thermal overload protection. Finally, soft-start operation is active to  
prevent excessive input current only when the part is first enabled.  
7.4.1 PWM Mode  
When the LM3281 operates in PWM mode, the switching frequency is constant, and the switcher regulates the  
output voltage by changing the energy per cycle to support the load required. During the first portion of each  
switching cycle, the control block in the LM3281 turns on the internal PFET switch. This allows current to flow  
from the input through the inductor and to the output filter capacitor and load. The inductor limits the current to a  
ramp with a slope of (VIN – VOUT)/L, by storing energy in its magnetic field. During the second portion of each  
cycle, the control block turns the PFET switch off, blocking current flow from the input, and then turns the NFET  
synchronous rectifier on. The inductor draws current from ground through the NFET and to the output filter  
capacitor and load, which ramps the inductor current down with a slope of –VOUT/L. The output filter capacitor  
stores charge when the inductor current is greater than the load current and releases it when the inductor current  
is less than the load current, smoothing the voltage across the load. At the next rising edge of the clock, the  
cycle repeats. An increase of load pulls the output voltage down, increasing the error signal. As the error signal  
increases, the peak inductor current becomes higher, thus increasing the average inductor current. The output  
voltage is therefore regulated by modulating the PFET switch on-time to control the average current sent to the  
load. The circuit generates a duty-cycle modulated rectangular signal that is averaged using a low pass filter  
formed by the inductor and output capacitor. The output voltage is equal to the average of the duty-cycle  
modulated rectangular signal.  
7.4.2 Forced PWM (FPWM) Mode  
To maintain high efficiency at lighter loads, LM3281 automatically goes into what is called ECO mode which has  
low IQ but higher ripple compared to PWM mode. If an application requires very low ripple and/or fast transient  
response, LM3281 can be forced to operate in PWM mode even at lighter loads. When high, the MODE pin  
permits automatic PWM or ECO mode operation based on load current. When MODE is pulled low the LM3281  
enters “forced PWM” operation with very low ripple and optimized transient response. If automatic PWM/ECO  
mode operation is desired, the MODE pin can be permanently tied high in an application to allow the device to  
always select a mode of operation automatically based on the load current conditions.  
It should be noted that LM3281 transient performance is quite good in ECO mode, and it may not be necessary  
to operate in FPWM mode for transient performance reasons alone. Normally, FPWM operation is selected for  
lower output voltage ripple.

SNVSA38 NOVEMBER 2014  
Device Functional Modes (continued)  
7.4.3 Analog Bypass Mode  
The LM3281 contains an internal BPFET (Bypass FET) transistor connected from the battery directly to the  
output for bypassing the PWM DC-DC converter when VIN approaches VOUT. In Analog Bypass mode, this  
BPFET is turned on just enough for the PWM DC-DC to maintain regulation by providing a parallel path from the  
battery directly to the load for maximum usable battery range and extended operating time while maintaining  
regulation. When the part is in dropout and is operating in full bypass mode, the output voltage will be the input  
voltage less the voltage drop across the resistance of the BPFET in parallel with the PFET + Switch Inductor.  
Analog Bypass mode is more efficient than operating in PWM mode at 100% duty cycle because the combined  
resistance of the circuit is significantly less than the series resistance of just the PWM PFET and inductor. This  
translates into higher voltage available at the output in Analog Bypass mode for a given battery voltage. The  
bypass operation is very system resource friendly in that the bypass PFET is gradually turned on automatically  
when the input voltage gets close to the output voltage (while always maintaining regulation), a typical scenario  
of a discharging battery. Likewise, it is also automatically gradually turned off when the input voltage rises, a  
typical scenario when connecting a charger.  
7.4.4 ECO (Economy) Mode  
At light load current, the converter enters ECO mode operation with reduced quiescent supply current to maintain  
high efficiency. During ECO mode operation, a switching burst brings the output just above target voltage. This  
period of switching is followed by no switching in which the output coasts to just below target voltage, and then  
this cycle is repeated. The frequency of how often the switching burst occurs is dependent on the load current.  
PWM operation resumes once the load current reaches a specific threshold.  
7.4.5 Shutdown Mode  
Setting the EN digital input pin low (< 0.4 V) places the LM3281 in Shutdown mode where it consumes less than  
0.1 μA current typically. In shutdown, the PFET switch, the NFET synchronous rectifier, the BPFET, reference  
voltage source, control, and bias circuitry of the LM3281 are turned off. Setting EN high (> 1.2 V) enables normal  
operation.

8 Application and Implementation  
NOTE  
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component  
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are  
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should  
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.  
8.1 Application Information  
The LM3281 is a high efficiency DC-DC converter optimized to power Wireless Connectivity Solutions in cell  
phones, portable communication devices or other battery-powered RF devices. The device is designed to  
operate from an input supply voltage between 3 V and 5.5 V with a maximum load current of 1.2 A. It operates in  
PWM mode for medium to heavy load conditions and in ECO mode for light load conditions to optimize for best  
efficiency , transient performance and output voltage ripple at varying load conditions. In PWM mode the LM3281  
converter operates with nominal switching frequency of 6 MHz, thus enabling use of smaller size capacitors and  
inductor. The converter operates in ECO mode at lighter load conditions to maintain high efficiency. In this mode  
a period of switching burst charges the output capacitor to the regulation target. This is followed by a period of no  
switching where the output voltages coasts to a lower voltage threshold due to light load current consumption.  
Upon reaching this lower voltage threshold, the cycle repeats by starting a new switching burst. The LM3281  
automatically transitions into Analog Bypass operation as input voltage approaches output voltage.  
Figure 17 shows one of many application configurations for LM3281. A battery-connected system boost bypass  
(normally part of system PMU) provides input supply to LM3281 which in turn very efficiently converts this input  
to a fixed 3.3-V output with superior transient response and output noise, thereby saving the Wireless  
Connectivity Solution from having to operate from a higher supply voltage, such as a direct connection to a  
battery or a system boost/bypass. This results in significant power dissipation savings and consequently cooler  
operation for the connectivity solution without sacrificing its RF performance. In applications where low voltage  
battery operation is not a significant feature, system boost/bypass can be eliminated, and the LM3281 can be  
directly connected to a battery for high efficiency power conversion and excellent RF performance. These types  
of always-on applications are feasible because of very low IQ of LM3281.

Typical Application (continued)  
8.2.1 Design Requirements  
Design requirements for LM3281 pertain to the use of appropriate passive components. The recommended  
passive components (inductors and capacitors) are optimally selected to provide best performance for a typical  
application.  
8.2.1.1 Suggested Passive Components  
Referencing the Simplified Schematic on page 1, the LM3281 Inductor Selection, Total Effective Output  
Capacitance (COUT + CLOAD1 + CLOAD2), LM3281 Capacitor (CIN and COUT) Selection, Recommended Load  
Bypass Capacitors (CLOAD1 and CLOAD2), and Alternate Output Capacitor Configuration sections provide  
suggested passive components. Please consult the TI applications team to select suitable alternatives.  
8.2.1.1.1 LM3281 Inductor Selection  
The solution inductor shown in the Simplified Schematic can be optimized for size or solution efficiency. The  
2012-size inductor listed below will perform well but other suitable smaller size inductors may be available in the  
future.

The inductor used in LM3281 designs should have following characteristics over operating temperature range:  
DC resistance (DCR) 70 mΩ  
Inductance at 0-mA current = 0.47 µH ±20%  
Inductance at 1.4-A current 0.29 µH  
Inductance at 2-A current 0.26 µH  
If an application requires less than 1.4A peak load current, it is possible to trade maximum load current for DCR  
of the inductor (hence smaller physical size) by using Equation 1:  
DCR_IND_MAX = (0.217/I_MAX) - 0.085  
(1)  
where DCR_IND_MAX is the maximum DC resistance of inductor in Ohms and I_MAX is the maximum load  
current in Amperes.  
8.2.1.1.2 Total Effective Output Capacitance (COUT + CLOAD1 + CLOAD2  
)
Total effective output capacitance including load capacitance (CLOAD1 and CLOAD2) and solution capacitance  
(COUT), de-rated for 3.3-V DC bias, operating temperature range, aging, etc. must be 3.4 μF to 9 μF.

rated by 50% to 65% at 3.3-V DC bias.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure  
The LM3281 is designed to use ceramic capacitors for its input and output filters. Use a 2.2-µF capacitor for  
input that provides a minimum of 0.8 µF effective capacitance under bias and worst-case temperature conditions.  
For output filter, combination of COUT, CLOAD1 and CLOAD2 should yield at least 3.4 µF (but not more than 9 µF) of  
effective capacitance under bias and worst-case temperature conditions. Please refer to Table 5, Table 6, and  
Table 7 for specific recommended components.  
The input filter capacitor supplies AC current drawn by the PFET switch of the LM3281 in the first part of each  
cycle and reduces the voltage ripple imposed on the input power source. The output filter capacitor absorbs the  
AC inductor current, helps maintain a steady output voltage during transient load changes and reduces output  
voltage ripple. These capacitors must be selected with sufficiently low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) to  
perform these functions. The ESR of the filter capacitors is generally a major factor in voltage ripple.  
There are two main considerations when choosing an inductor: the inductor should not saturate (inductance  
should not drop significantly with current), and DC resistance of the inductor should not be excessively high.  
Different manufacturers follow different saturation current rating specifications, so attention must be given to  
details. Saturation current ratings are typically specified at 25°C so ratings over the ambient temperature range of  
the application should be requested from the manufacturer. Refer to LM3281 Inductor Selection for a  
recommendation about a specific part number and other useful guidelines about inductor selection.

9 Power Supply Recommendations  
The LM3281 device is designed to operate from a supply voltage range between 3 V and 5.5 V. This input  
supply should be well regulated. If the input supply is located more than a few inches from the LM3281  
converter, additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors. An  
electrolytic or tantalum capacitor with a value of 47 μF is a typical choice.  
10 Layout  
10.1 Layout Guidelines  
Optimal LM3281 performance is realized when two important layout considerations are observed. TI-provided  
layout guidance in this section illustrates best practices, and a customer layout review with the TI applications  
team will ensure best performance is achieved.  
10.1.1 COUT-to-CLOAD Inductance  
Minimize inductance in the path between LM3281 COUT capacitor and the load bypass capacitors CLOAD1  
and CLOAD2 for best performance. Total power path inductance from the LM3281 output to the load (including  
vias and traces) should target < 1 nH and must not exceed 2 nH.  
10.1.2 LM3281-to-CIN Inductance  
Minimize inductance between LM3281 pins (VIN, GND) and the LM3281 input bypass capacitor CIN for best  
performance. The LM3281 device and CIN capacitor should be placed to permit shortest possible top-metal  
routing for these connections.  
Poor board layout can disrupt the performance of a DC-DC converter and surrounding circuitry by contributing to  
EMI, ground bounce, and resistive voltage loss in the traces resulting in poor regulation or instability. Poor layout  
can also result in re-flow problems leading to poor solder joints between the DSBGA package and board pads  
which can result in erratic or degraded performance of the converter. By its very nature, any switching converter  
generates electrical noise, and the circuit board designer’s challenge is to minimize, contain, or attenuate such  
switcher-generated noise. A high-frequency switching converter, such as the LM3281, switches Ampere level  
currents within nanoseconds, and the traces interconnecting the associated components can act as radiating  
antennas. The following general guidelines are offered to help mitigate EMI and facilitate good layout design.  
Place the LM3281 switcher, its input capacitor, and output filter inductor and capacitor close together, and  
make the Inter-connecting traces as short as possible.  
Arrange the components so that the switching current loops curl in the same direction. During the first half of  
each cycle, current flows from the input filter capacitor, through the internal PFET of the LM3281 and the  
inductor, to the output filter capacitor, then back through ground, forming a current loop. In the second half of  
each cycle, current is pulled up from ground, through the internal synchronous NFET of the LM3281 by the

inductor, to the output filter capacitor and then back through ground, forming a second current loop. Routing  
these loops so the current curls in the same direction prevents magnetic field reversal between the two half-  
cycles and reduces radiated noise.  
Make the current loop area(s) as small as possible.  
Reduce the amount of switching current that circulates through the ground plane: Connect the ground bump  
of the LM3281 and its input filter capacitor together using generous component-side copper fill as a pseudo-  
ground plane. Then connect this copper fill to the system ground-plane (if one is used) with multiple vias.  
These multiple vias help to minimize ground bounce at the LM3281 by giving it a low-impedance ground  
connection.  
Minimize resistive losses by using wide traces between the power components and doubling up traces on  
multiple layers when needed.  
Route noise sensitive traces, such as the voltage feedback path, as directly as possible from the switcher FB  
pad to the VOUT pad of the output capacitor, but keep it away from noisy traces between the power  
components.  
Take advantage of the inherent inductance of circuit traces to reduce coupling among various function blocks  
on the board, by way of the power supply traces.

10.3 DSBGA Package Assembly And Use  
Use of the DSBGA package requires specialized board layout, precision mounting, and careful re-flow  
techniques, as detailed in Texas Instruments Application Note 1112 DSBGA Wafer Level Chip Scale Package  
(SNVA009). Refer to the section Surface Mount Technology (SMD) Assembly Considerations. For best results in  
assembly, alignment ordinals on the PC board should be used to facilitate placement of the device. The pad style  
used with DSBGA package should be the NSMD (non-solder mask defined) type. This means that the solder-  
mask opening is larger than the pad size. This prevents a lip that otherwise forms if the solder-mask and pad  
overlap from holding the device off the surface of the board and interfering with mounting. See Application Note  
1112 for specific instructions how to do this.  
The DSBGA package is optimized for the smallest possible size in applications with red or infrared opaque  
cases. Because the DSBGA package lacks the plastic encapsulation characteristic of larger devices, it is  
vulnerable to light. Backside metallization and/or epoxy coating, along with front-side shading by the printed  
circuit board, reduce this sensitivity. However, the package has exposed die edges. In particular, DSBGA  
devices are sensitive to light (in the red and infrared range) shining on the package's exposed die edges.
