A8651
Low Input Voltage, Adjustable Frequency Dual Synchronous
2A / 2 A Buck Regulator with Synchronization, 2x EN, and 2x NPOR
Description
Features and Benefits
The A8651 is an adjustable frequency, high output current,
PWMregulatorthatintegratesahigh-side,P-channelMOSFET
and a low-side, N-channel MOSFET. TheA8651 incorporates
current-modecontroltoprovidesimplecompensation,excellent
loop stability, and fast transient response. The A8651 utilizes
external compensation to accommodate a wide range of power
components to optimize transient response without sacrificing
stability. TheA8651 regulates input voltages from 2.5 to 5.5V,
down to output voltages as low as 0.8 V and is able to supply
up to 2 A of load current per regulator.
• AEC-Q100 Qualified
• Operating voltage range: 2.5 to 5.5 V
• UVLO stop threshold: 2.25 V (max)
• Dual outputs with up to 2 A output current per regulator
• Adjustable output voltage as low as 0.8 V
• Internal 80 mΩ high-side switching MOSFET
• Internal 55 mΩ low-side switching MOSFET
• Adjustable switching frequency (fSW): 0.35 to 2.2 MHz
• Synchronizes to external clock: 1.2× to 1.5× fOSC
• 180° phase shift between switching regulators
• Sleep mode supply current less than 5 μA
• Soft start time externally set via the SS pin
• Pre-biased startup capable
The A8651 features include an externally adjustable and
synchronizable switching frequency, an externally-set soft
start time to minimize inrush currents, independent EN inputs,
and independent NPOR outputs with 7.5 ms delay. The sleep
mode current of the A8651 control circuitry is less than 5 μA.
ProtectionfeaturesincludeVINundervoltagelockout(UVLO),
cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection (OCP), hiccup mode
short-circuit protection (HIC), overvoltage protection (OVP),
and thermal shutdown (TSD). In addition, theA8651 provides
open-circuit, adjacent pin short-circuit, and short-to-ground
• Externally adjustable compensation
• Stable with ceramic output capacitors
• Independent enable inputs and NPOR output pins
• Adjustable current limiting (OCP) for each regulator
• Hiccup mode short-circuit protection (HIC)
• Overvoltage and overtemperature protection
• Open-circuit and adjacent pin short-circuit tolerant
• Short-to-ground tolerant at every pin
