The ADP2442 offers the flexibility of external clock  
synchronization. The switching frequency can be synchronized to  
an external clock, applied to the SYNC/MODE pin. The ADP2442  
can also be configured to operate in the forced fixed frequency  
mode for low EMI or power saving mode to reduce the switching  
losses at light load.

start and tracking  
APPLICATIONS  
The ADP2442 uses hiccup mode to protect the IC from short  
circuits or from overcurrent conditions on the output. The internal  
soft start limits inrush current during startup for a wide variety of  
load capacitances. Other key features include input undervoltage  
lockout (UVLO), thermal shutdown (TSD), and precision enable  
(EN), which can also be used as a logic level shutdown input.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The ADP2442 is a constant frequency, current mode control,  
synchronous, step-down, dc-to-dc regulator that is capable of  
driving loads of up to 1 A with excellent line and load regulation  
characteristics. The ADP2442 operates with a wide input voltage  
range from 4.5 V to 36 V, which makes it ideal for regulating  
power from a wide variety of sources. In addition, the ADP2442  
has very low minimum on time (50 ns) and is, therefore, suitable  
for applications requiring a very high step-down ratio.  
The ADP2442 is available in a 3 mm × 3 mm, 12-lead LFCSP  
package and is rated for a junction temperature range from  
−40°C to +125°C.

VIN  
Power Supply Input. Connect this pin to the input power source, and connect a bypass ceramic capacitor directly  
from this pin to PGND, as close as possible to the IC. The operation voltage is 4.5 V to 36 V.  
10  
BST  
Boost. Connect a 10 nF ceramic capacitor between the BST and SW pins as close to the IC as possible to form a  
floating supply for the high-side N-channel power MOSFET driver. This capacitor is required to drive the gate of  
the N-channel power MOSFET above the supply voltage.

THEORY OF OPERATION  
V
IN  
The ADP2442 is a fixed frequency, current mode control, step-  
down, synchronous switching regulator that is capable of driving  
1 A loads. The device operates with a wide input voltage range  
from 4.5 V to 36 V, and its output is adjustable from 0.6 V to  
0.9 V × VIN. The integrated high-side N-channel power MOSFET  
and the low-side N-channel power MOSFET yield high efficiency  
at medium to heavy loads. Pulse skip mode is available to improve  
efficiency at light loads.

The ADP2442 includes programmable features, such as output  
voltage, switching frequency, and power good. These features  
are programmed externally via tiny resistors and capacitors. The  
ADP2442 also includes protection features, such as UVLO with  
hysteresis, output short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown.

Figure 52. Control Architecture Block Diagram  
Pulse Skip Mode  
The ADP2442 pulse skip mode is enabled by connecting the  
SYNC/MODE pin to AGND. In this mode, the pulse skip circuitry  
turns on during light loads, switching only as necessary to keep the  
output voltage within regulation. This mode allows the regulator to  
maintain high efficiency during operation with light loads by  
reducing switching losses. The pulse skip circuitry includes a  
comparator, which compares the COMP voltage to a fixed pulse  
skip threshold.  
CONTROL ARCHITECURE  
The ADP2442 is based on an emulated peak current mode control  
architecture. The ADP2442 can operate in both fixed frequency  
and pulse skip modes.  
Fixed Frequency Mode  
A basic block diagram of the control architecture is shown in  
Figure 52. The ADP2442 can be configured in fixed frequency  
mode. The output voltage, VOUT, is sensed on the feedback pin, FB.  
An error amplifier integrates the error between the feedback  
voltage (VFB) and the reference voltage (VREF = 0.6 V) to generate  
an error voltage at the COMP pin.

THRESHOLD  
ADP2442  
DC  
1V  
A current sense amplifier senses the valley inductor current (IL)  
during the off period when the low-side power MOSFET is on  
and the high-side power MOSFET is off. An internal oscillator  
initiates a pulse-width modulation (PWM) pulse to turn off the  
low-side power MOSFET and turn on the high-side power  
MOSFET at a fixed switching frequency.  
Figure 53. Pulse Skip Comparator  
With light loads, the output voltage discharges at a very slow rate  
(load dependent). When the output voltage is within regulation,  
the device enters sleep mode and draws a very small quiescent  
current. As the output voltage drops below the regulation voltage,  
the COMP voltage rises above the pulse skip threshold. The  
device wakes up and begins switching until the output voltage  
is within regulation.  
When the high-side N-channel power MOSFET is enabled, the  
valley inductor current information is added to an emulated  
ramp signal and the PWM comparator compares this value to  
the error voltage on the COMP pin. The output of the PWM  
comparator modulates the duty cycle by adjusting the trailing  
edge of the PWM pulse that turns off the high-side power  
MOSFET and turns on the low-side power MOSFET.  
As the load increases, the settling value of the COMP voltage  
increases. At a particular load, COMP settles above the pulse  
skip threshold, and the device enters the fixed frequency mode.  
Therefore, the load current at which COMP exceeds the pulse  
skip threshold is defined as the pulse skip current threshold; the  
value varies with the duty cycle and the inductor ripple current.  
Slope compensation is programmed internally into the emulated  
ramp signal and is automatically selected, depending on the  
input voltage, output voltage, and switching frequency. This  
prevents subharmonic oscillations for near or greater than 50%  
duty cycle operation. The one restriction of this feature is that  
the inductor ripple current must be set between 0.2 A and 0.5 A  
to provide sufficient current information to the loop.  
The measured value of pulse skip threshold over VIN is shown in  
Figure 19, Figure 20, and Figure 21.

ADP2442  
ADJUSTABLE FREQUENCY  
EXTERNAL SYNCHRONIZATION  
The ADP2442 features a programmable oscillator frequency with  
a resistor connected between the FREQ and AGND pins.  
The external synchronization feature allows the switching  
frequency of the device to be synchronized to an external clock.  
The SYNC/MODE input accepts a logic level clock input ranging  
from 300 kHz to 1 MHz (minimum pulse width = 100 ns) and has  
high input impedance. For best practices, it is recommended  
that the set frequency (set by the resistor at the FREQ pin) be  
within 30% of the expected clock frequency to ensure stable,  
reliable, and seamless operation with or without an external  
SYNC/MODE clock. When the ADP2442 is synchronized to an  
external clock, the regulator switching frequency changes to the  
external clock frequency.  
At power-up, the FREQ pin is forced to 1.2 V and current flows  
from the FREQ pin to AGND; the current value is based on the  
resistor value on the FREQ pin. Next, the same current replicates in  
the oscillator to set the switching frequency. Note that the resistor  
connected to the FREQ pin must be placed as close as possible  
to the FREQ pin (see the Applications Information section for  
more information).  
POWER GOOD  
The PGOOD pin is an open-drain output that indicates the  
status of the output voltage. When the voltage of the FB pin  
is between 92% and 109% of the internal reference voltage,  
the PGOOD output pulls high, provided there is a pull-up resistor  
connected to the pin. When the voltage of the FB pin is not  
within this range, the PGOOD output pulls low to AGND. The  
PGOOD threshold is shown in Figure 54.  
SOFT START  
The ADP2442 has an internal soft start feature that allows the  
output voltage to ramp up in a controlled manner, limiting the  
inrush current during startup. The ADP2442 internal soft start  
time is 2 ms.

UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT  
The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) function prevents the IC  
from turning on when the input voltage is below the specified  
operating range to avoid an undesired operating mode. If the  
input voltage drops below the specified range, the UVLO function  
shuts off the device. The rising input voltage threshold for the  
UVLO function is 4.2 V with 200 mV hysteresis. The 200 mV of  
hysteresis prevents the regulator from turning on and off repeatedly  
when there is a slow voltage ramp on the VIN pin.  
PGOOD  
Figure 54. PGOOD Threshold  
In a typical application, a pull-up resistor connected between the  
PGOOD pin and an external supply is used to generate a logic  
signal. This pull-up resistor must range in value from 30 kΩ to  
100 kΩ, and the external supply must be less than 5.5 V.  
MODE OF OPERATION  
The SYNC/MODE pin is a multifunctional pin. The fixed  
frequency mode is enabled when SYNC/MODE is connected to  
VCC or a high logic. When SYNC/MODE connects to AGND,  
pulse skip mode enables. The external clock can be applied for  
synchronization.  
PRECISION ENABLE/SHUTDOWN  
The ADP2442 features a precision enable pin (EN) to enable or  
shutdown the device. The 5% accuracy lends itself to using a  
resistor divider from the VIN pin (or another external supply) to  
program a desired UVLO threshold that is higher than the fixed  
internal UVLO of 4.2 V. The hysteresis is 100 mV.

If the output is overloaded and the peak inductor current exceeds  
the preset current limit for more than eight consecutive clock  
cycles, the hiccup mode current-limit condition occurs. The  
output goes to sleep for 6 ms, during which time the output  
discharges, the average power dissipation reduces, and the device  
wakes up with a soft start period. If the current-limit condition  
is triggered again, the output goes to sleep and wakes up after 6 ms.

shorted to ground.

THERMAL SHUTDOWN  
Figure 56. Precision Enable Used as a Programmable UVLO  
If the ADP2442 junction temperature rises above 150°C, the  
thermal shutdown circuit turns off the switching regulator. Extreme  
junction temperatures can be the result of high current operation,  
poor circuit board design, or high ambient temperature. A 25°C  
hysteresis is included so that when a thermal shutdown occurs,  
the ADP2442 does not return to normal operation until the  
junction temperature drops below 125°C. Soft start is active  
upon each restart cycle.  
CURRENT-LIMIT AND SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION  
The ADP2442 has a current-limit comparator that compares the  
current sensed across the low-side power MOSFET to the  
internally set reference current. If the sensed current exceeds the  
reference current, the high-side power MOSFET does not turn  
on in the next cycle and the low-side power MOSFET stays on until  
the inductor current ramps down below the current-limit level.

SETTING THE SWITCHING FREQUENCY  
The choice of the switching frequency depends on the required  
dc-to-dc conversion ratio and is limited by the minimum and  
maximum controllable duty cycle, as shown in Figure 58. This  
limitation is due to the requirement of minimum on time and  
minimum off time for current sensing and robust operation.  
However, the choice is also influenced by whether there is a need  
for small external components. For example, higher switching  
frequencies are required for small, area limited power solutions.  
100  
SELECTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE  
The output voltage is set using a resistor divider connected between  
the output voltage and the FB pin (see Figure 57). The resistor  
divider divides down the output voltage to the 0.6 V FB regulation  
voltage. The output voltage can be set to as low as 0.6 V and as  
high as 90% of the power input voltage.

The ratio of the resistive voltage divider sets the output voltage, and  
the absolute value of the resistors sets the divider string current.  
When calculating the resistor values for lower divider string  
currents, take into account the small 50 nA (0.1 μA maximum)  
FB bias current. The FB bias current can be ignored for a higher  
divider string current; however, using small feedback resistors  
degrades efficiency at very light loads.

Inductor Selection  
The high switching frequency of the ADP2442 allows for minimal  
output voltage ripple even when small inductors are used. Selecting  
the size of the inductor involves considering the trade-off between  
efficiency and transient response. A smaller inductor results in  
larger inductor current ripple, which provides excellent transient  
response; however, it degrades efficiency. Because of the high  
switching frequency of the ADP2442, use shielded ferrite core  
inductors for their low core losses and low EMI.  
The inductor ripple current also affects the stability of the loop  
because the ADP2442 uses the emulated peak current mode  
architecture. In the traditional approach of slope compensation,  
the user sets the inductor ripple current and then sets the slope  
compensation using an external ramp resistor. In most cases, the  
inductor ripple current is typically set to be 1/3 of the maximum  
load current for optimal transient response and efficiency. The  
ADP2442 has internal slope compensation, which assumes that  
the inductor ripple current is set to 0.3 A (30% of the maximum  
load of 1 A), eliminating the need for an external ramp resistor.

EXTERNAL COMPONENT SELECTION  
Input Capacitor Selection  
The input current to a buck regulator is pulsating in nature. The  
current is zero when the high-side switch is off and is  
For the ADP2442, choose an inductor such that the peak-to-peak  
ripple current of the inductor is between 0.2 A and 0.5 A for  
stable operation. Calculate the inductor value as follows:  
approximately equal to the load current when the switch is on.  
Because switching occurs at reasonably high frequencies (300 kHz  
to 1 MHz), the input bypass capacitor usually supplies most of  
the high frequency current (ripple current), allowing the input  
power source to supply only the average (dc) current. The input  
capacitor needs a sufficient ripple current rating to handle the  
input ripple and needs an ESR that is low enough to mitigate the  
input voltage ripple. In many cases, different types of capacitors  
are placed in parallel to minimize the effective ESR and ESL.

Output Capacitor Selection  
The output capacitor selection affects both the output voltage  
ripple and the loop dynamics of the regulator. The ADP2442 is  
designed to operate with small ceramic output capacitors that  
have low ESR and ESL; therefore, the device easily meets tight  
output voltage ripple specifications. For best performance, use  
X5R or X7R dielectric capacitors with a voltage rating that is  
1.5 times the output voltage and avoid using Y5V and Z5U  
dielectric capacitors, which have poor temperature and dc bias  
characteristics. Table 10 lists recommended capacitors from

The inner current loop senses the current in the low-side switch

50%, slope compensation is added to the inner current loop.  
22µF/25V  
10µF/25V  
The external voltage loop senses the output voltage and adjusts  
the duty cycle to regulate the output voltage to the desired value. A  
transconductance amplifier with an external series RC network  
connected to the COMP pin compensates for the external  
voltage loop, as shown in Figure 61.

BOOST CAPACITOR  
The boost pin (BST) is used to power up the internal driver for the  
high-side power MOSFET. In the ADP2442, the high-side power  
MOSFET is an N-channel device to achieve high efficiency in  
mid and high duty cycle applications. To power up the high-side  
driver, a capacitor is required between the BST and SW pins.  
The size of this boost capacitor is critical because it affects the  
light load functionality and efficiency of the device. Therefore,  
choose a boost ceramic capacitor with a value between 10 nF  
and 22 nF with a voltage rating of 50 V, placing the capacitor as  
close as possible to the IC. It is recommended to use a boost  
capacitor within this range because a capacitor beyond 22 nF  
can cause the LDO to reach the current-limit threshold.

Select the inductor by using Equation 7.

In Equation 7, VIN = 24 V, VOUT = 5 V, ILOAD (MAX) = 1 A, and fSW  
700 kHz, which results in L = 18.66 µH. When L = 18 μH (the  
closest standard value) in Equation 6, ΔIL = 0.314 A. Although  
the maximum output current that is required is 1 A, the maximum  
peak current is 1.6 A. Therefore, the inductor must be rated for  
higher than 1.6 A current.

CONFIGURATION AND COMPONENTS SELECTION

calculate the resistance of the resistor divider that sets the  
output voltage.

Choosing the switching frequency involves consideration of the  
trade-off between efficiency and component size. Low frequency  
improves the efficiency by reducing the gate losses but requires  
a large inductor. The choice of high frequency is limited by the  
minimum and maximum duty cycle.

Based on the estimated duty cycle range, choose the switching  
frequency according to the minimum and maximum duty cycle  
limitations, as shown in Figure 58. For example, a 700 kHz,  
frequency is well within the maximum and minimum duty  
cycle limitations.

In this example, the values listed in Table 12 are substituted for  
the variables in Equation 12 and Equation 13.  
Selecting the crossover frequency to be 1/12 of the switching  
frequency and placing the zero frequency at 1/8 of the crossover  
frequency ensures that there is adequate phase margin in  
the system.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION  
Configure the system as follows; though the steps are not  
sequential, they all must be completed:  
COUT = 1.5 × 22 ꢀF = 32 ꢀF  
Compensation Selection  
Connect a capacitor of 1 ꢀF between the VCC and PGND  
pins and another capacitor of 1 ꢀF between the VCC and  
AGND pins. For best performance, use ceramic X5R or  
X7R capacitors with a 25 V voltage rating.  
Connect a ceramic capacitor of 10 nF with a 50 V voltage  
rating between the BST and SW pins.  
Connect a resistor between the FREQ and AGND pins as  
close as possible to the IC.  
If using the power-good feature, connect a 50 kꢁ pull-up  
resistor to a 5 V external supply.  
Calculate the compensation component values for the feedback  
loop using the following equations:

For synchronization, connect an external clock with a  
frequency of 700 kHz to the SYNC/MODE pin. Connect  
the external clock to AGND to activate pulse skip mode or  
connect it to VCC for forced fixed frequency mode.  
See Figure 63 for a schematic of this design example and Table 14  
for the calculated component values.

POWER DISSIPATION AND THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS  
Transition Losses  
POWER DISSIPATION  
The efficiency of a dc-to-dc regulator is  
POUT  
Transition losses occur because the N-channel MOSFET power  
switch cannot turn on or off instantaneously. During a switch  
node transition, the power switch provides all of the inductor  
current, and the source-to-drain voltage of the power switch is  
half the input, resulting in power loss. Transition losses increase  
as the load current and input voltage increase; these losses  
occur twice for each switching cycle.  
Efficiency =  
×100%  
(26)  
PIN  
where:  
PIN is the input power.  
OUT is the output power.  
The power loss of a dc-to-dc regulator is  
LOSS = PIN POUT  
There are four main sources of power loss in a dc-to-dc regulator  
P
The transition losses can be calculated as follows:  
VIN

P
(30)  
PTRANS  
=
× IOUT ×(tON + tOFF ) fSW  
where tON and tOFF are the rise time and fall time of the switch  
node and are each approximately 10 ns for a 24 V input.

Switching losses  
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS  
The power dissipated by the regulator increases the die junction  
temperature, TJ, above the ambient temperature, TA, as follows:  
Transition losses  
Inductor Losses  
TJ = TA + TR  
(31)  
Inductor conduction losses are caused by the flow of current  
through the inductor DCR (internal resistance). The inductor  
power loss (excluding core loss) is  
where the temperature rise, TR, is proportional to the power  
dissipation, PD, in the package.  
The proportionality coefficient is defined as the thermal  
resistance from the junction temperature of the die to the  
ambient temperature, as follows:  
PL = IOUT2 × DCRL  
(27)  
Power Switch Conduction Losses  
Power switch conduction losses are caused by the output current,  
OUT, flowing through the N-channel MOSFET power switches  
that have internal resistance, RDS(ON). The amount of power loss  
can be approximated as follows:  
TR = θJA + PD  
(32)  
I
where θJA is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and  
equals 40°C/W for the JEDEC board (see Table 3).

When designing an application for a particular ambient  
temperature range, calculate the expected ADP2442 power  
P
COND = [RDS(ON) − HIGH SIDE × D + RDS(ON) − LOW SIDE × (1 − D)] × IOUT (28)  
Switching Losses  
dissipation (PD) due to the conduction, switching, and transition  
losses using Equation 28, Equation 29, and Equation 30, and  
then estimate the temperature rise using Equation 31 and  
Equation 32. Improved thermal performance can be achieved  
by good board layout.  
Switching losses are associated with the current drawn by the  
driver to turn the power devices on and off at the switching  
frequency. Each time a power device gate is turned on and off,  
the driver transfers a charge (∆Q) from the input supply to the  
gate and then from the gate to ground.  
For example, on the ADP2442 evaluation board (ADP2442-  
EVALZ), the measured θJA is <30°C/W. Thermal performance of  
the ADP2442-EVALZ evaluation board is shown in Figure 68  
and Figure 69.  
The amount of switching loss can by calculated as follows:  
P
SW = QG_TOTAL × VIN × fSW  
(29)  
where:  
QG_TOTAL is the total gate charge of both the high-side and low-  
side devices and is approximately 18 nC. fSW is the switching  
frequency.

CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS  
Good printed circuit board (PCB) layout is essential for obtaining  
optimum performance. Poor PCB layout degrades the output  
voltage ripple; the load, line, and feedback regulation; and the  
EMI and electromagnetic compatibility performance. For  
optimum layout, refer to the following guidelines:  
The placement and routing of the compensation components  
are critical for optimum performance of ADP2442. Place  
the compensation components as close as possible to the  
COMP pin. Use 0402 sized compensation components to  
allow closer placement, which in turn reduces parasitic noise.  
Surround the compensation components with AGND to  
prevent noise pickup.  
The FREQ pin is sensitive to noise; therefore, place the  
frequency resistor as close as possible to the FREQ pin and  
route it with minimal trace length.  
Use separate analog and power ground planes. Connect the  
ground reference of sensitive analog circuitry, such as the  
output voltage divider component and the compensation  
and frequency resistor, to analog ground. In addition, connect  
the ground references of power components, such as input  
and output capacitors, to power ground. Connect both  
ground planes to the exposed pad of the ADP2442.  
Place one end of the input capacitor as close as possible to  
the VIN pin, and connect the other end to the closest  
power ground plane.  
Ground the small signal components to the analog ground  
path.  
C4  
C3  
C5  
V
Place a high frequency filter capacitor between the VIN  
and PGND pins, as close as possible to the PGND pin.  
VCC is the internal regulator output. Place a 1 μF capacitor  
between the VCC and AGND pins and another 1 μF  
capacitor between the VCC and PGND pins. Place the  
capacitors as close as possible to the pins.  
Ensure that the high current loop traces are as short and  
wide as possible. Make the high current path from CIN  
through L, COUT, and the power ground plane back to CIN  
as short as possible. To accomplish this, ensure that the  
input and output capacitors share a common power  
ground plane.  
Make the high current path from the PGND pin through L  
and COUT back to the power ground plane as short as possible.  
To do this, ensure that the PGND pin is tied to the PGND  
plane as close as possible to the input and output capacitors  
(see Figure 70).

trace connecting the top of the feedback resistor divider to  
the output as short as possible and, to avoid noise pickup,  
also keep it away from the high current traces and switch  
node. Place an analog ground plane on either side of the FB  
trace, further reducing noise pickup.
