The ADP3088 is a high frequency, non-synchronous PWM
step-down DC-DC regulator with an integrated 1A power
switch in a space-saving MSOP8 package. It provides high
efficiency, excellent dynamic response, and is very simple
to use.

The ADP3088’s 1 MHz switching frequency allows for
small, inexpensive external components, and the current
mode control loop is simple to compensate and eases noise
filtering. It operates in PWM current mode under heavy
loads and saves energy at lighter loads by switching auto-
matically into Power Saving mode. Soft start is integrated
completely on chip, as is the cycle-by-cycle current limit.

Figure 1. Typical Application
Capable of operating from 2.5 V to 11 V input, it is ideal for
many applications, including portable, battery power appli-
cations, where local point-of-use power regulation is re-
quired. Supporting output voltages down to 1.25 V, the
ADP3088 is ideal to generate low voltage rails, providing
the optimal solution in its class for delivering power effi-
ciently, responsively, and simply with minimal printed cir-
cuit board area.
The device is specified over the industrial temperature
range of -40 °C to +85°C.
