Adjustable Output 1-/2-/3-Phase
Synchronous Buck Controller
ADP3182
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
Selectable 1-, 2-, or 3-phase operation at up to 1 MHz per
phase
2ꢀ worst-case differential sensing error over temperature
Externally adjustable 0.8 V to >5 V output from a 12 V supply
Logic-level PWM outputs for interface to external high
power drivers
Active current balancing between all output phases
Built-in power good/crowbar functions
The ADP3182 is a highly efficient multiphase, 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 multimode 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.
Programmable short-circuit protection with programmable
latch-off delay
APPLICATIONS
Auxiliary supplies
DDR memory supplies
Point-of-load modules
ADP3182 is specified over the commercial temperature range of
0°C to +85°C and is available in a 20-lead QSOP package.
