Overview

The ADP2230 is a dual, high-efficiency, step-down DC-to-DC converter using a high-speed, current-mode, constant-frequency PWM control scheme for stability and transient response. It operates with an input voltage range of 2.3 V to 6.5 V and can output voltages between 0.8 V and 6 V. The device includes internal power switches, synchronous rectifiers, and internal compensation to minimize external components. Key features include precision enable, soft start, undervoltage lockout (UVLO), thermal shutdown (TSD), and short-circuit protection.

Performance Characteristics

Graphs illustrate efficiency versus load current for different input voltages, load regulation, line regulation, and transient response under various conditions. The device maintains high efficiency across a range of loads and input voltages.

Operating Modes
  • PWM Mode: Fixed frequency operation for medium to high load currents.
  • PSM/PWM Automatic Transitioning Mode: Automatically transitions between PWM and PSM to maintain efficiency at light loads.
  • External Clock Synchronization: Allows synchronization to an external clock, disabling PSM and forcing PWM mode.
Features
  • Precision Enable: Independent enable inputs for each buck output with precision thresholds.
  • Quick Output Discharge: Internal resistor discharges output when disabled.
  • Short-Circuit Protection: Frequency foldback prevents current runaway during hard shorts.
  • Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO): Shuts down the device when input voltage is too low.
  • Thermal Shutdown: Protects against overheating with a 15°C hysteresis.
  • Soft Start: Controls inrush current during startup, with a typical time of 350 μs.
Recommendations

Ensure the exposed pad on the LFCSP package is connected to the ground plane for proper thermal performance and operation. Use appropriate external components as specified for optimal performance.

Component Selection
  • Inductors: Recommended 2.2 µH inductors with low DCR and sufficient saturation current are crucial for efficiency and stability.
  • Capacitors: Use 10 µF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors for both input and output. The input capacitor should support the maximum input voltage and rms current, while the output capacitors should have low ESR to minimize voltage ripple.
PCB Layout Considerations

A well-designed PCB is essential for high efficiency and stability. Key guidelines include placing capacitors and inductors close to the ADP2230, minimizing trace lengths, and using a ground plane to reduce noise.

The total solution requires only five tiny external components. When the ADP2230 is used with three 0603 capacitors and two 2 mm × 2 mm inductors, the total solution size is about 48 mm2, resulting in the smallest footprint solution to meet a variety of portable applications. The ADP2230 buck regulator uses a proprietary, high speed, current mode, constant frequency, PWM control scheme for excellent stability and transient response. The buck outputs operate out of phase to reduce the input current ripple. To ensure the longest battery life in portable applications, the ADP2230 has a power saving variable frequency mode that reduces the switching frequency under light load conditions. PGND (EPAD) Data Sheet Dual 2 MHz, 800 mA, Synchronous, Low Quiescent Current Buck Regulator ADP2230 Figure 1. Fixed Output Voltage Typical Application Circuit During logic controlled shutdown, the input is disconnected from the output, and it draws less than 0.1 μA from the input source. The ADP2230 operates from input voltages from 2.3 V to 6.5 V, allowing the use of multiple alkaline, NiMH, or lithium cells and other standard power sources. The ADP2230 offers multiple options for setting the operating frequency. To maximize light load efficiency, the ADP2230 can operate at a reduced switching frequency in PSM and switch automatically to PWM as the load increases. The ADP2230 can be forced to operate at 2 MHz in PWM only mode when noise considerations are more important than efficiency. The ADP2230 can also be synchronized with a 1.5 MHz to 2.5 MHz external clock via the SYNC pin. When using the external clock synchronization control, both buck outputs operate in phase with the applied clock signal. The ADP2230 includes an internal power switch, synchronous rectifier, and compensation to minimize external part count and maximize efficiency. Other key protection features include undervoltage lockout to prevent deep battery discharge, internal soft start to prevent input current overshoot at startup, and an integrated, switched resistor, QOD function that automatically discharges the output when the device is disabled. Short-circuit protection and thermal overload protection circuits prevent damage in adverse conditions.
