General Description


The LM2640 is a dual step-down power supply controller intended for application in notebook personal computers and other battery-powered equipment.

Fixed-frequency synchronous drive of logic-level N-channel power MOSFETs is combined with an optional pulse-skipping mode to achieve ultra efficient power conversion over a 1000:1 load current range. The pulse-skipping mode can be disabled in favor of fixed-frequency operation regardless of the load current level.

High DC gain and current-mode feedback control assure excellent line and load regulation and a wide loop bandwidth for fast response to dynamic loads.

An internal oscillator fixes the switching frequency at 200 kHz. Optionally, switching can be synchronized to an external clock running as fast as 400 kHz.

An optional soft-start feature limits current surges from the input power supply at start up and provides a simple means of start-up sequencing.

Logic-level inputs allow the controllers to be turned ON and OFF separately.

Reliability Metrics


Part Number Process EFR Reject EFR Sample Size PPM LTA Rejects LTA Device Hours FITS MTTF (Hours)

Note: The Early Failure Rates (EFR) were calculated as point estimate PPM based on rejects and sample size for EFR. The Long Term Failure Rates were calculated at 60% confidence using the Arrhenius equation at 0.7eV activation energy and derating the assumed stress temperature of 150°C to an application temperature of 55°C.
