ADP2384

THEORY OF OPERATION

The ADP2384 is a synchronous step-down, dc-to-dc regulator

that uses a current mode architecture with an integrated high-

side power switch and a low-side synchronous rectifier. The

regulator targets high performance applications that require

high efficiency and design flexibility.

The ADP2384 operates from an input voltage that ranges from

4.5 V to 20 V and regulates the output voltage from 0.6 V to 90%

of the input voltage. Additional features that maximize design

flexibility include the following: programmable switching

frequency, programmable soft start, external compensation,

precision enable, and a power-good output.

CONTROL SCHEME

The ADP2384 uses a fixed frequency, peak current mode PWM

control architecture. At the start of each oscillator cycle, the

high-side N-MOSFET is turned on, putting a positive voltage

across the inductor. When the inductor current crosses the peak

inductor current threshold, the high-side N-MOSFET is turned

off and the low-side N-MOSFET is turned on. This puts a negative

voltage across the inductor, causing the inductor current to

decrease. The low-side N-MOSFET stays on for the rest of the

cycle (see Figure 17).

PRECISION ENABLE/SHUTDOWN

The EN input pin has a precision analog threshold of 1.17 V

(typical) with 100 mV of hysteresis. When the enable voltage

exceeds 1.17 V, the regulator turns on; when it falls below 1.07 V

(typical), the regulator turns off. To force the regulator to auto-

matically start when input power is applied, connect EN to PVIN.

The precision EN pin has an internal pull-down current source

(5 µA) that provides a default turn-off when the EN pin is open.

When the EN pin voltage exceeds 1.17 V (typical), the ADP2384

is enabled and the internal pull-down current source at the EN

pin decreases to 1 µA, which allows users to program the PVIN

UVLO and hysteresis.

INTERNAL REGULATOR (VREG)

The on-board regulator provides a stable supply for the internal

circuits. It is recommended that a 1 µF ceramic capacitor be placed

between the VREG pin and GND. The internal regulator includes

a current-limit circuit to protect the output if the maximum

external load current is exceeded.

Data Sheet

BOOTSTRAP CIRCUITRY

The ADP2384 includes a regulator to provide the gate drive

voltage for the high-side N-MOSFET. It uses differential sensing to

generate a 5 V bootstrap voltage between the BST and SW pins.

It is recommended that a 0.1 µF, X7R or X5R ceramic capacitor

be placed between the BST pin and the SW pin.

OSCILLATOR

The ADP2384 switching frequency is controlled by the RT pin.

A resistor from RT to GND can program the switching frequency

according to the following equation:

fSW (kHz) = 69,120

RT (k Ω) + 15

A 100 kΩ resistor sets the frequency to 600 kHz, and a 42.2 kΩ

resistor sets the frequency to 1.2 MHz. Figure 29 shows the

typical relationship between fSW and RT.

SYNCHRONIZATION

To synchronize the ADP2384, connect an external clock to the

SYNC pin. The frequency of the external clock can be in the range

of 200 kHz to 1.4 MHz. During synchronization, the regulator

operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM), and the rising

edge of the switching waveform runs 180° out of phase to the rising

edge of the external clock.

When the ADP2384 operates in synchronization mode,

a resistor must be connected from the RT pin to GND to

program the internal oscillator to run at 90% to 110% of the

external synchronization clock.
