The AAT2504 is a three-channel regulator consisting of a
step-down converter with an input voltage range of 2.7V
to 5.5V plus two low dropout (LDO) linear regulators.
The two LDOs have an input voltage range of 1.8V to
5.5V, making them well-suited for post regulating from
the step-down converter.
The step-down converter optimizes power efficiency
throughout the load range. Pulling the MODE/SYNC pin
high enables “PWM Only” operation, maintaining con-
stant frequency and low output ripple across the operat-
ing range. Alternatively, the converter may be synchro-
nized to an external clock to the MODE/ SYNC pin. The
step-down converter delivers up to 800mA of output cur-
rent. The switching frequency is 2MHz, minimizing the
size of external components.
The two LDOs (LDOA/LDOB) have independent inputs
and are capable of delivering up to 300mA each. Ultra
low input voltage on the VLDOA and VLDOB pins (down
to 1.62V) allows for efficient post-buck regulation. A
Power-OK (POK) function provides an open drain output
signal when LDOA is within regulation. Both LDOs feature
low quiescent current and a low dropout voltage. The
output voltages for both LDOs are adjustable to as low as
0.6V. The linear regulators have independent Enable pins.
Typical no load quiescent current is a low 80μA when the
step-down converter and LDOs are enabled.
The AAT2504 is available in a Pb-free 3x4mm QFN34-20
package and is rated over the -40°C to +85°C tempera-
ture range.

Function
Feedback input pin for LDOB. This pin is used to regulate the output of LDOB to the desired value via an
external resistor divider.
Enable pin for LDOA. Active high.
Enable pin for LDOB. Active high.
PWM operation and oscillator synchronization pin. Connect to ground for PWM/Light Load operation
and optimized efficiency throughout the load range. Connect high for low noise PWM operation under
all operating conditions. When connected to an external clock, the internal oscillator is disabled and the
step-down converter is synchronized to an external clock applied to this pin (PWM only).
Feedback input pin for the step-down converter. This pin is used to see the output of the converter to
regulate to the desired value via an external resistor divider.
Ground connection pin.
Main power ground return pin for the step-down converter. Connect to the output and input capacitor
return.
Connect inductor to this pin. Switching node internally connected to the drain of both high- and low-side
MOSFETs.
Input supply voltage for the converter. Must be closely decoupled.
Not connected.
Bias supply. Supply power for the internal circuitry. Connect to input power via low pass
fi
lter with de-
coupling to AGND.
Enable for the step-down converter. Active high.
Power-OK pin with open drain output. It is pulled low when the OUTA pin is outside the regulation win-
dow. Place a pull-up resistor between POK and OUTA.
Feedback input pin for LDOA. This pin is used to regulate the output of LDOA to the desired value via an
external resistor divider.
LDOA output pin; should be closely decoupled with a low-ESR ceramic capacitor.
Input voltage pin for linear regulator A; should be closely decoupled.
Input voltage pin for linear regulator B; should be closely decoupled.
LDOB output pin; should be closely decoupled with a low-ESR ceramic capacitor.
Exposed paddle; connect to ground directly beneath the package.
