GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP2387 is a synchronous step-down, dc-to-dc regulator with
an integrated 44 mΩ, high-side power, metal oxide semiconductor
field effect transistor (MOSFET) and an 11 mΩ, synchronous
rectifier MOSFET to provide a high efficiency solution in a
compact 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP. This device uses a peak current
mode, constant frequency pulse-width modulation (PWM)
control scheme for excellent stability and transient response.
The switching frequency of the ADP2387 can be programmed
between 200 kHz to 1400 kHz.
Other key features include undervoltage lockout (UVLO),
overvoltage protection (OVP), overcurrent protection (OCP),
short-circuit protection (SCP), and thermal shutdown (TSD).
The ADP2387 operates over the −40°C to +125°C junction
temperature range and is available in a 24-lead, 4 mm × 4 mm
LFCSP.

The ADP2387 requires minimal external components and operates
from an input voltage of 4.5 V to 20 V. The output voltage can
be adjusted from 0.6 V to 90% of the input voltage and delivers
up to 6 A of continuous current. Each IC draws less than 110 µA
current from the input source when it is disabled.
This regulator targets high performance applications that require
high efficiency and design flexibility. External compensation
and an adjustable soft start function provide design flexibility.
The power-good output and precision enable input provide
simple and reliable power sequencing. The programmable
current-limit function allows the inductor to be optimized by
output current.
