GENERAL DESCRIPTION

= 1.8V PSM

The ADP1877 is a Flexmode® (proprietary architecture of
Analog Devices, Inc.), dual-channel, step-down switching
controller with integrated drivers that drive N-channel
synchronous power MOSFETs. The two PWM outputs are
phase shifted 180°, which reduces the input RMS current, thus
minimizing required input capacitance.

The boost diodes are built into the ADP1877, thus lowering the
overall system cost and component count. The ADP1877 can
be set to operate in pulse skip high efficiency mode under light
load or in PWM continuous conduction mode.
