DC-to-DC Converters
ADP2503/ADP2504
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
ADP2503/ADP2504
are high efficiency, low quiescent current
step-up/step-down dc-to-dc converters that can operate at input
voltages greater than, less than, or equal to the regulated output
voltage. The power switches and synchronous rectifiers are
internal to minimize external device count. At high load currents,
the
ADP2503/ADP2504
use a current-mode, fixed frequency
pulse-width modulation (PWM) control scheme for optimal
stability and transient response. To ensure the longest battery life
in portable applications, the
ADP2503/ADP2504
have an optional
power save mode that reduces the switching frequency under
light load conditions. For wireless and other low noise applica-
tions where variable frequency power save mode may cause
interference, the logic control input sync forces fixed frequency
PWM operation under all load conditions.
The
ADP2503/ADP2504
can run from input voltages between
2.3 V and 5.5 V, allowing single lithium or lithium polymer cell,
multiple alkaline or NiMH cells, PCMCIA, USB, and other stan-
dard power sources. The
ADP2503/ADP2504
have fixed output
options, or using the adjustable model, the output voltage can
be programmed through an external resistor divider. Compensa-
tion is internal to minimize the number of external components.
During logic-controlled shutdown, the input is disconnected
from the output and draws less than 1 μA from the input source.
Operating as boost converters, the
ADP2503/ADP2504
feature a
true load disconnect function that isolates the load from the
power source. Other key features include undervoltage lockout
to prevent deep battery discharge, and soft start to prevent input
current overshoot at startup.

Data Sheet
θ
JA
of the package is based on modeling and calculation using a
4-layer board. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is
highly dependent on the application and board layout. In applica-
tions where high maximum power dissipation exists, close
attention to thermal board design is required. The value of θ
JA
may vary, depending on PCB material, layout, and environmental
conditions. The specified values of θ
JA
are based on a 4-layer,
4 inch × 3 inch circuit board. Refer to JEDEC JESD 51-9 for
detailed information on the board construction.
THERMAL RESISTANCE

Stresses at or above those listed under Absolute Maximum
Ratings may cause permanent damage to the product. This is a
stress rating only; functional operation of the product at these
or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Operation beyond
the maximum operating conditions for extended periods may
affect product reliability.
ESD CAUTION
THERMAL DATA
Absolute maximum ratings apply individually only, not in
combination.
The
ADP2503/ADP2504
can be damaged when the junction
temperature limits are exceeded. Monitoring ambient tempera-
ture (T
A
) does not guarantee that the junction temperature (T
J
)
is within the specified temperature limits. In applications with
high power dissipation and poor thermal resistance, the maximum
ambient temperature may have to be derated. In applications
with moderate power dissipation and low PCB thermal resis-
tance, the maximum ambient temperature can exceed the
maximum limit as long as the junction temperature is within
specification limits. T
J
of the device is dependent on T
A
, the
power dissipation (P
D
) of the device, and the junction-to-
ambient thermal resistance (θ
JA
) of the package. Maximum
T
J
is calculated from T
A
and P
D
using the following formula:
T
J
=

Description
Output of the
ADP2503/ADP2504.
Connect the output capacitor between VOUT and PGND.
Power Switch 2 Connection. This is the internal connection to the input PMOS and NMOS switches. Connect
SW2 to the inductor with a short, wide track.
Power GND. Connect the input and output capacitors and the PGND pin to a PGND plane.
Power Switch 1 Connection. This is the internal connection to the output PMOS and NMOS switches. Connect
SW1 to the inductor with a short, wide track.
Power Input. This the input to the buck-boost power switches. Place a 10 μF capacitor between PVIN and
PGND as close as possible to the
ADP2503/ADP2504.
Enable. Drive EN high to turn on the
ADP2503/ADP2504.
Bring EN low to put the device into shutdown mode.
The SYNC pin permits the
ADP2503/ADP2504
to operate in three different modes.
Normal operation: with SYNC driven low, the
ADP2503/ADP2504
operate at 2.5 MHz PWM mode for heavy
and medium loads, and moves to power save mode (PSM) mode for light loads.
Forced PWM operation: with SYNC driven high, the
ADP2503/ADP2504
operate at fixed 2.5 MHz PWM mode
for all load conditions.
SYNC mode: to synchronize the
ADP2503/ADP2504
switching to an external signal, drive this pin with a clock
between 2.2 MHz and 2.8 MHz. The SYNC signal must have on and off times greater than 160 ns.
Analog Power Supply. This is the supply for the
ADP2503/ADP2504
internal circuitry.
Analog Ground.
Output Feedback. This is an input to the internal error amplifier and must be connected to VOUT on fixed
output versions; for the adjustable model, this is the voltage feedback.
Connect the exposed pad to PGND.
