GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP1878/ADP1879 are versatile current-mode, synchronous
step-down controllers. They provide superior transient response,
optimal stability, and current-limit protection by using a constant
on time, pseudo fixed frequency with a programmable current-limit,
current control scheme. These devices offer optimum performance
at low duty cycles by using a valley, current-mode control architecture allowing the ADP1878/ADP1879 to drive all N-channel power
stages to regulate output voltages to as low as 0.6 V.
The ADP1879 is the power saving mode (PSM) version of the
device and is capable of pulse skipping to maintain output
regulation while achieving improved system efficiency at light
loads (see the ADP1879 Power Saving Mode (PSM) section for
more information).
Available in three frequency options (300 kHz, 600 kHz, and
1.0 MHz) plus the PSM option, the ADP1878/ADP1879 are well
suited for a wide range of applications that require a single input
power supply range from 2.95 V to 20 V. Low voltage biasing is
supplied via a 5 V internal low dropout regulator (LDO). In
addition, soft start programmability is included to limit input
inrush current from the input supply during startup and to
provide reverse current protection during precharged output

conditions. The low-side current sense, current gain scheme and
integration of a boost diode, together with the PSM/forced
pulse-width modulation (PWM) option, reduce the external
device count and improve efficiency.
The ADP1878/ADP1879 operate over the −40°C to +125°C
junction temperature range and are available in a 14-lead
LFCSP_WD package.
