ADP2386

Data Sheet 20 V, 6 A, Synchronous Step-Down DC-to-DC Regulator ADP2386 10211-001 FEATURES Input voltage: 4.5 V to 20 V Integrated MOSFET: 44 mΩ/11 mΩ Reference voltage: 0.6 V ± 1% Continuous output current: 6 A Programmable switching frequency: 200 kHz to 1.4 MHz Synchronizes to external clock: 200 kHz to 1.4 MHz 180° out of phase clock synchronization Precision enable and power good External compensation Internal soft start with external adjustable option Startup into a precharged output Supported by ADIsimPower design tool APPLICATIONS Communications infrastructure Networking and servers Industrial and instrumentation Healthcare and medical Intermediate power rail conversion DC-to-dc point-of-load applications GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ADP2386 is a synchronous step-down, dc-to-dc regulator with an integrated 44 mΩ, high-side power MOSFET and an 11 mΩ, synchronous rectifier MOSFET to provide a high efficiency solution in a compact 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP package. This device uses a peak current mode, constant frequency pulse-width modulation (PWM) control scheme for excellent stability and transient response. The switching frequency of the ADP2386 can be programmed from 200 kHz to 1.4 MHz. To minimize system noise, the synchronization function allows the switching frequency to be synchronized to an external clock. The ADP2386 requires minimal external components and operates from an input voltage of 4.5 V to 20 V. The output voltage can be adjusted from 0.6 V to 90% of the input ...
