FEATURES AND BENEFITS
DESCRIPTION
The A8586 is a high frequency step-down switching regulator
with an integrated high-side power MOSFET. It provides up
3.5 A output current. The A8586 can achieve fast transient
response using current-mode control and simple external
compensation.
The wide input range of 3.8 to 36 V makes the A8586 suitable
for a wide range of step-down applications, including those in
an automotive input environment. Battery-driven applications
benefit from the low 30 μA operational quiescent current.
The A8586 maintains high efficiency across a wide load range
by the use of pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) as the load
reduces. This in turn reduces switching and gate driver losses
at light load. A8586-1 and A8586-2 are options that disable
the PFM function. A8586-1 also disables the dithering feature.
These can be useful when low output ripple and minimum
output capacitance is required.
Frequency foldback helps to prevent inductor current runaway
during startup and provides enhanced dropout performance.
Extensive protection features of the A8586 include pulse-by-
pulse current limit, hiccup mode short-circuit protection, open/
short freewheeling diode protection, BOOT open/short voltage
protection, VIN undervoltage lockout, and thermal shutdown.
The A8586 and A8586-2 are designed to aid in EMC/EMI
design by including frequency dithering, soft freewheel diode
turn-off, and well controlled switch node slew rates. A 4 MHz
oscillator allows the A8586 to switch outside EMI sensitive
frequencies bands such as the AM band or ADSL bands.
The A8586 is available in industry-standard DFN-10 or SOIC-8
packages.

Description
The source of the internal MOSFET. The output inductor (L
O
) and cathode of the freewheel diode (D) should be
connected to this pin. L
O
and D should be placed as close as possible to this pin and connected with relatively
wide traces.
Enable input. This pin is a high-voltage input that turns the regulator on or off: Set this pin high to turn the regulator
on or set this pin low to turn the regulator off.
Output of the error amplifier and compensation node for the current-mode control loop. Connect a series RC
network from this pin to GND for loop compensation. See the Applications section of this datasheet for further
details
Feedback (negative) input to the error amplifier. Connect a resistor divider from the regulator output node, VOUT,
to this pin to program the output voltage.
Ground connection
Frequency setting pin. A resistor, R
FREQ
, from this pin to GND sets the PWM switching frequency. See Table 1 and
Figure 2 to determine the value of R
FREQ
.
Power input for the control circuits and the drain of the internal high-side N-channel MOSFET. Connect this pin to a
power supply of 3.8 to 36 V. A high quality ceramic capacitor should be placed very close to this pin and GND
Bootstrap capacitor connection. Connect a 100 nF capacitor from this pin to the SW pin. The voltage on this
capacitor drives the internal MOSFET via the high side gate driver. A series BOOT resistor is not recommended.
