GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP1822 is a versatile and inexpensive synchronous voltage-
mode PWM step-down controller. It drives an all N-channel power
stage to regulate an output voltage as low as 0.6 V.
The ADP1822 regulated output can track another power supply
and can be dynamically adjusted up or down with the controller’s
margining-control inputs, making it ideal for high reliability
applications. It is well suited for a wide range of high power
applications, such as DSP power and processor core power in
telecommunications, medical imaging, high performance
servers, and industrial applications. It operates from a 3.7 V to
5.5 V supply with power input voltage ranging from 1.0 V to 24 V.
The ADP1822 can operate at any frequency between 300 kHz
and 1.2 MHz, either by synchronizing with an external source
or an internally generated, logic-controlled clock of 300 kHz or
600 kHz. It includes an adjustable soft start to allow sequencing
and quick power-up while preventing input inrush current. Output
reverse-current protection at startup prevents excessive output
voltage excursions. The adjustable, virtually lossless current-
limit scheme reduces external part count and improves efficiency.
The ADP1822 operates over the 40°C to +125°C junction
temperature range and is available in a 24-lead QSOP package.
