The constant off-time architecture maintains constant ripple
current in the inductor, easing the design of wide input range
converters. Current-mode operation provides excellent line and
load transient response. The operating current level is user
programmable via an external current sense resistor.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP1148 is part of a family of synchronous step-down
switching regulator controllers featuring automatic sleep mode
to maintain high efficiencies at low output currents. These
devices drive external complementary power MOSFETs at
switching frequencies up to 250 kHz using a constant off-time
current-mode architecture.
The ADP1148 incorporates automatic Power Saving Sleep
Mode operation when load currents drop below the level
required for continuous operation. In sleep mode, standby
power is reduced to only about 2 mW at VIN = 10 V. In
shutdown, both MOSFETs are turned off.
