The ADP2442 offers the flexibility of external clock
synchronization. The switching frequency can be synchronized to
an external clock, applied to the SYNC/MODE pin. The ADP2442
can also be configured to operate in the forced fixed frequency
mode for low EMI or power saving mode to reduce the switching
losses at light load.

APPLICATIONS
The ADP2442 uses hiccup mode to protect the IC from short
circuits or from overcurrent conditions on the output. The internal
soft start limits inrush current during startup for a wide variety of
load capacitances. Other key features include input undervoltage
lockout (UVLO), thermal shutdown (TSD), and precision enable
(EN), which can also be used as a logic level shutdown input.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP2442 is a constant frequency, current mode control,
synchronous, step-down, dc-to-dc regulator that is capable of
driving loads of up to 1 A with excellent line and load regulation
characteristics. The ADP2442 operates with a wide input voltage
range from 4.5 V to 36 V, which makes it ideal for regulating
power from a wide variety of sources. In addition, the ADP2442
has very low minimum on time (50 ns) and is, therefore, suitable
for applications requiring a very high step-down ratio.
The ADP2442 is available in a 3 mm × 3 mm, 12-lead LFCSP
package and is rated for a junction temperature range from
−40°C to +125°C.

The output voltage can be adjusted from 0.6 V to 0.9 × VIN. High
efficiency is obtained with integrated low resistance N-channel
MOSFETs for both high-side and low-side devices.
