AAT2114A
2.5A Low-Noise, FastTransient 3MHz Step-Down Regulator
General Description
Features
•
•
The AAT2114A SwitchReg™ step-down converter deliv-
ers up to 2.5A to support the adjustable 1.0V to VIN
output from the 2.7V to 5.5V input source. The 3MHz
switching frequency allows a high-bandwidth design that
minimizes the external LC component requirements.

2.7V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range
Adjustable 1.0V to VIN Output Voltage
Up to 95% Efficiency
The AAT2114A high-frequency converter consumes only
70μA no-load quiescent current. The internally compen-
sated, high-frequency, current-mode control scheme pro-
vides excellent transient response, minimal output ripple,
and reduced spectral noise. Additionally, the AAT2114A
provides tight output accuracy across the entire load and
input voltage operating ranges.
Excellent Current-Mode Transient Response
Low-Noise Light-Load Architecture
70μA No Load Quiescent Current
No External Compensation Required
Internal Soft Start
Over-Temperature and Current-Limit Protection
<1μA Shutdown Current
-40°C to +85°C Temperature Range
16-Pin, 3mm x 3mm QFN Package
The regulator maintains high efficiency by integrating
the high-side and low-side MOSFETs and designing the
gate drivers to minimize dead-time switching losses. The
regulator also reduces the switching frequency under
light load conditions, minimizing power loss over the
entire load range.
Applications
• Cellular Phones
• Digital Cameras
• MP3/Portable Media Players
• Wireless Cards
For system fault protection, the AAT2114A includes over-
temperature and short-circuit current-limit protection to
safeguard the AAT2114A and system components from
overload conditions.
The compact 3mm x 3mm QFN package footprint, mini-
mal LC requirements, and high efficiency make the
AAT2114A an ideal choice for low-power portable applica-
tions operating from a Li-ion/polymer battery.
