GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADP3182 is a highly efficient multi-phase synchronous
buck switching regulator controller optimized for converting a
12 V main supply into a high-current low voltage supply for use
in point-of-load (POL) applications. It uses a multi-mode PWM
architecture to drive the logic-level outputs at a programmable
switching frequency that can be optimized for VR size and
efficiency. The phase relationship of the output signals can be
programmed to provide 1-, 2-, or 3-phase operation, allowing
for the construction of up to three complementary buck
switching stages.

The ADP3182 also provides accurate and reliable short circuit
protection and adjustable current limiting.
ADP3182 is specified over the commercial temperature range of
0°C to +85°C and is available in a 20-lead QSOP package.
