Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions for which the device is intended

to be functional, but parameter specifications may not be guaranteed. For guaranteed specifications and associated test conditions, see the Min and Max limits and

Conditions in the Electrical Characteristics table. Electrical Characteristics table limits are guaranteed by production testing, design or correlation using standard

Statistical Quality Control methods. Typical (Typ) specifications are mean or average values from characterization at 25˚C and are not guaranteed.

Note 2: In PWM mode, Thermal shutdown will occur if the junction temperature exceeds the 150˚C maximum junction temperature of the device.

Note 3: Thermal resistance specified with 2 layer PCB(0.5/0.5 oz. cu).

Note 4: The LM2618 is designed for cell phone applications where turn-on after power-up is controlled by the system processor and internal UVLO (Under Voltage

LockOut) circuitry is unecessary. The LM2618 has no UVLO circuitry and should be kept in shutdown by holding the EN pin low until the input voltage exceeds 2.8V.

Although the LM2618 exhibits safe behavior while enabled at low input voltages, this is not guaranteed.

Note 5: The feedback voltage is trimmed at the 1.87V output setting. The other output voltages result from the pin selection of the internal DAC’s divider ratios. The

Note 6: : The hysteresis voltage is the minimum voltage swing on FB that causes the internal feedback and control circuitry to turn the internal PFET switch on and

then off during PFM mode.

Note 7: Current limit is built-in, fixed, and not adjustable. If the current limit is reached while the output is pulled below about 0.7V, the internal PFET switch turns

off for 2.5 µs to allow the inductor current to diminish.

Note 8: SYNC driven with an external clock switching between VDD and GND. When an external clock is present at SYNC, the IC is forced to PWM mode at the

external clock frequency. The LM2618 synchronizes to the rising edge of the external clock.
