GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
ADP2164
is a 4 A, synchronous, step-down dc-to-dc regulator
in a compact 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP package. The regulator uses a
current mode, constant frequency pulse-width modulation (PWM)
control scheme for excellent stability and transient response.
The input voltage range of the
ADP2164
is 2.7 V to 6.5 V. The
output voltage of the
ADP2164
is adjustable from 0.6 V to the
input voltage (V
IN
). The
ADP2164
is also available in six preset
output voltage options: 3.3 V, 2.5 V, 1.8 V, 1.5 V, 1.2 V, and 1.0 V.
The
ADP2164
integrates a pair of low on-resistance P-channel
and N-channel internal MOSFETs to maximize efficiency and
minimize external component count. The 100% duty cycle
operation allows low dropout voltage at 4 A output current.
The high, 1.2 MHz PWM switching frequency allows the use of
small external components, and the SYNC input enables multiple
ICs to synchronize out of phase to reduce ripple and eliminate
beat frequencies.
Other key features of the
ADP2164
include undervoltage lockout
(UVLO), integrated soft start to limit inrush current at startup,
overvoltage protection (OVP), overcurrent protection (OCP),
and thermal shutdown.
