AAT2504
Adjustable 3-Channel Regulator
General Description
The AAT2504 is a three-channel regulator consist-
ing 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 volt-
age 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
constant frequency and low output ripple across the
operating range. Alternatively, the converter may be
synchronized to an external clock to the MODE/
SYNC pin. The step-down converter delivers up to
800mA of output current. 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. 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 regula-
tors 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 temperature 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 filter
with decoupling 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 regu-
lation window. 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.
