GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
ADP2102
is a synchronous step-down dc-to-dc converter
that converts a 2.7 V to 5.5 V unregulated input voltage to a lower
regulated output voltage with up to 95% efficiency and 1%
accuracy. The low duty cycle capability of the
ADP2102
is ideal for
USB applications or 5 V systems that power up submicron subvolt
processor cores. Its 3 MHz typical operating frequency and excel-
lent transient response allow the use of small, low cost 1 µH
inductors and 2.2 µF ceramic capacitors. At medium-to-high
load currents, it uses a current mode, pseudofixed frequency pulse-
width modulation to extend battery life. To ensure the longest
battery life in portable applications, the
ADP2102
has a power save
mode (PSM) that reduces the switching frequency under light
load conditions to significantly reduce quiescent current.

The
ADP2102
can be damaged when junction temperature limits are exceeded.
Monitoring ambient temperature does not guarantee that TJ is within the
specified temperature limits. In applications where high power dissipation
and poor thermal resistance are present, the maximum ambient temperature
may have to be derated. In applications with moderate power dissipation
and low PCB thermal resistance, the maximum ambient temperature can
exceed the maximum limit as long as the junction temperature is within
specification limits. The junction temperature (T
J
) of the device is dependent
on the ambient temperature (T
A
), the power dissipation of the device (PD),
and the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the package (θ
JA
). Maximum
junction temperature (T
J
) is calculated from the ambient temperature (T
A
)
and power dissipation (PD) using the formula
T
J
=
T
A
+ (θ
JA
×
PD).
Unless
otherwise specified, all other voltages are referenced to AGND.
Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (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 applications where high
maximum power dissipation exists, attention to thermal board
design is required. The value of θ
JA
may vary, depending on PCB
material, layout, and environmental conditions. Specified value
of θ
JA
is based on a 4-layer, 4 in × 3 in, 2 1/2 oz copper board,
as per JEDEC standards. For more information, see the
AN-772

Lead Frame Chip Scale Package (LFCSP).

BOUNDARY CONDITION

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.

Description
Mode Input. To set the
ADP2102
to forced continuous conduction mode (CCM), drive MODE high. To set the
ADP2102
to power save mode/auto mode (PSM), drive MODE low.
Enable Input. Drive EN high to turn on the
ADP2102.
Drive EN low to turn it off and reduce the input current to
0.1 µA. This pin cannot be left floating.
Output Sense Input or Feedback Input. For the fixed output voltage versions, OUT is the top of the internal resistive
voltage divider. Connect OUT to the output voltage. For the adjustable output voltage versions (no suffix), FB is the
input to the error amplifier. Drive FB through a resistive voltage divider to set the output voltage. The FB regulation
threshold is 0.8 V.
Analog Ground. Connect AGND to PGND at a single point as close to the
ADP2102
as possible. The exposed pad is
electrically common with the analog ground pin.
Power Ground.
Switch Output. LX is the drain of the P-channel MOSFET switch and the N-channel synchronous rectifier. Connect
the output LC filter between LX and the output voltage.
Power Source Input. Drive PVIN with a 2.7 V to 5.5 V power source. A ceramic bypass capacitor of 2.2 µF or greater is
required on this pin to the nearest PGND plane.
Power Source Input. AVIN is the supply for the
ADP2102
internal circuitry. This pin can be connected in three
different ways.
For noise reduction, place an external RC filter between PVIN and AVIN. The recommended values for the external
RC filter are 10 Ω and 0.1 µF, respectively. This configuration can be used for all loads.
For light-to-medium loads up to 300 mA, the AVIN pin and the PVIN pin can be shorted together.
For light-to-heavy loads (greater than 300 mA), bypass the AVIN pin with a 1 pF to 0.01 µF capacitor to the nearest
PGND plane. Do not short the AVIN and PVIN pins when using only a bypass capacitor.
Exposed Pad. Connect the exposed pad to the ground plane.
