GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
ADP2443
is synchronous step-down, dc-to-dc regulator
with an integrated 98 mΩ, high-side power metal oxide semicon-
ductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) and a 35 mΩ, synchronous
rectifier MOSFET to provide a high efficiency solution in a
compact 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP package. The regulators operate
from an input voltage range of 4.5 V to 36 V. The output voltage
can be adjusted down to 0.6 V and deliver up to 3 A of
continuous current. The fast 50 ns minimum on time allows the
regulators convert high input voltage to low output voltage at high
frequency.
The
ADP2443
uses an emulated current mode, constant frequency
pulse-width modulation (PWM) control scheme for excellent
stability and transient response. The switching frequency of the
ADP2443
can be programmed from 200 kHz to 1.8 MHz. The
synchronization function allows the switching frequency be syn-
chronized with an external clock to minimize the system noise.
The
ADP2443
targets high performance applications that require
high efficiency and design flexibility. External compensation
and an adjustable soft start function provide design flexibility.
The power-good output and precision enable input provide
simple and reliable power sequencing.
Other key features include undervoltage lockout (UVLO),
overvoltage protection (OVP), overcurrent protection (OCP),
short-circuit protection (SCP), and thermal shutdown (TSD).
The
ADP2443
operates over the −40°C to +125°C operating
junction temperature range and is available in a 24-lead, 4 mm ×
4 mm LFCSP package.
