GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP3203 is a 1 or 2-phase hysteretic peak current
DC-DC buck converter controller dedicated to power a
mobile processor's core. The optimized low voltage design is
powered from the 3.3 V system supply and draws only
10 µA maximum in shutdown. The nominal output voltage
is set by a 5-bit VID code. To accommodate the transition
time required by the newest processors for on-the-fly VID
changes, the ADP3203 features high-speed operation to
allow a minimized inductor size that results in the fastest
change of current to the output. To further allow for the
minimum number of output capacitors to be used, the
ADP3203 features active voltage positioning with ADOPTTM
optimal compensation to ensure a superior load transient
response. The output signal interfaces with the ADP3415
MOSFET driver that is optimized for high speed and high
efficiency for driving both the top and bottom MOSFETs of
the buck converter. The ADP3203 is capable of controlling
the synchronous rectifier to extend battery lifetime in light
load conditions.
