GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP3050 is a current mode monolithic buck (step down)
PWM switching regulator that contains a high current 1 A power
switch and all control, logic, and protection functions. It uses a
unique compensation scheme allowing the use of any type of
output capacitor (tantalum, ceramic, electrolytic, OS-CON).
Unlike some buck regulators, the design is not restricted to using
a specific type of output capacitor or ESR value.
The ADP3050 includes a shutdown input that places the device
in a low power mode, reducing the total supply current to under
20 µA. Internal protection features include thermal shutdown
circuitry and a cycle-by-cycle current limit for the power switch
to provide complete device protection under fault conditions.
The ADP3050 provides excellent line and load regulation,
maintaining typically less than 3% output voltage accuracy
over temperature and under all input voltage and output
current conditions.
A special boosted drive stage is used to saturate the NPN power
switch, providing a system efficiency higher than conventional
bipolar buck switchers. Further efficiency improvements are
obtained by using the low voltage regulated output to provide
the internal operating current of the device. A high switching
frequency allows the use of small external surface-mount compo-
nents. A wide variety of standard off-the-shelf devices can be
used, providing a great deal of design flexibility. A complete
regulator design requires only a few external components.
The ADP3050 is specified over the industrial temperature range
of −40°C to +85°C and is available in a thermally enhanced 8-lead
(not Pb-free only) SOIC package and a standard 8-lead (Pb-free
only) RoHS-compliant SOIC package.
