GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP1882/ADP1883 are versatile current-mode, synchronous
step-down controllers that provide superior transient response,
optimal stability, and current-limit protection by using a constant
on-time, pseudo-fixed frequency with a programmable current-
limit, current-control scheme. In addition, these devices offer
optimum performance at low duty cycles by using valley current-
mode control architecture. This allows the ADP1882/ADP1883
to drive all N-channel power stages to regulate output voltages
as low as 0.8 V.
Available in three frequency options (300 kHz, 600 kHz, and
1.0 MHz, plus the PSM option), the ADP1882/ADP1883 are
well suited for a wide range of applications. These ICs not only
operate from a 2.75 V to 5.5 V bias supply, but they also can
accept a power input as high as 20 V.
In addition, an internally fixed soft start period is included to limit
input in-rush current from the input supply during startup and
to provide reverse current protection during soft start for a pre-
charged output. The low-side current-sense, current-gain scheme
and integration of a boost diode, along with the PSM/forced
pulse-width modulation (PWM) option, reduce the external
part count and improve efficiency.
The ADP1883 is the power saving mode (PSM) version of the
device and is capable of pulse skipping to maintain output
regulation while achieving improved system efficiency at light
loads (see the Power Saving Mode (PSM) Version (ADP1883)
section for more information).
The ADP1882/ADP1883 operate over the −40°C to +125°C
junction temperature range and are available in a 10-lead MSOP.
