A very low dropout voltage with excellent output regulation can
be obtained by minimizing the dc resistance of the Inductor, the
RSENSE resistor, and the RDS(ON) of the P-MOSFET . T he power
savings mode conserves power by reducing switching losses at
lower output currents. When the output load current falls below
the minimum required for the continuous mode the ADP1147
will automatically switch to the power savings mode. It will remain
in this mode until the inductor requires additional current or the
sleep mode is entered. In sleep mode with no load the standby
power consumption of the device is reduced to 2.0 mW typical
at VIN = 10 V.

T he ADP1147 is part of a family of High Efficiency Step-Down
Switching Regulators. T hese regulators offer superior load and
line transient response, a user defined current limit and an
automatic power savings mode. T he automatic power savings
mode is used to maintain efficiency at lower output currents.
T he ADP1147 incorporates a constant off-time, current mode
switching architecture to drive an external P-channel MOSFET
at frequencies up to 250 kHz. Constant off-time switching gen-
erates a constant ripple current in the external inductor. T his
results in a wider input voltage operating range of 3.5 V* to
16 V, and a less complex circuit design.
For designs requiring even greater efficiencies refer to the
ADP1148 data sheet.
