GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP2300/ADP2301 are compact, constant-frequency,
current-mode, step-down dc-to-dc regulators with integrated
power MOSFET. The ADP2300/ADP2301 devices run from
input voltages of 3.0 V to 20 V, making them suitable for a wide
range of applications. A precise, low voltage internal reference
makes these devices ideal for generating a regulated output
voltage as low as 0.8 V, with ±2% accuracy, for up to 1.2 A load
current.
There are two frequency options: the ADP2300 runs at 700 kHz,
and the ADP2301 runs at 1.4 MHz. These options allow users to
make decisions based on the trade-off between efficiency and

line and load transient performance. The ADP2300/ADP2301
devices include internal soft start to prevent inrush current at
power-up. Other key safety features include short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown (TSD), and input undervoltage lockout
(UVLO). The precision enable pin threshold voltage allows the
ADP2300/ADP2301 to be easily sequenced from other input/
output supplies. It can also be used as a programmable UVLO
input by using a resistive divider.
The ADP2300/ADP2301 are available in a 6-lead TSOT package
and are rated for the −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.

TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
VIN = 3.3 V, TA = 25°C, VEN = VIN, unless otherwise noted.
The ADP2300/ADP2301 are nonsynchronous, step-down
dc-to-dc regulators, each with an integrated high-side power
MOSFET. A high switching frequency and ultrasmall, 6-lead
TSOT package allow small step-down dc-to-dc regulator
solutions.
The ADP2300/ADP2301 can operate with an input voltage from
3.0 V to 20 V while regulating an output voltage down to 0.8 V.
The ADP2300/ADP2301 are available in two fixed-frequency
options: 700 kHz (ADP2300) and 1.4 MHz (ADP2301).
BASIC OPERATION
The ADP2300/ADP2301 use the fixed-frequency, peak currentmode PWM control architecture at medium to high loads, but
shift to a pulse-skip mode control scheme at light loads to reduce
the switching power losses and improve efficiency. When the
devices operate in fixed-frequency PWM mode, output regulation
is achieved by controlling the duty cycle of the integrated MOSFET.
When the devices operate in pulse-skip mode at light loads, the
output voltage is controlled in a hysteretic manner with higher
output ripple. In this mode of operation, the regulator periodically
stops switching for a few cycles, thus keeping the conversion
losses minimal to improve efficiency.
Since the pulse-skip mode comparator monitors the internal
compensation node, which represents the peak inductor current
information, the average pulse-skip load current threshold depends
on the input voltage (V
and the output capacitor.
Because the output voltage occasionally dips below regulation
and then recovers, the output voltage ripple in the power saving
mode is larger than the ripple in the PWM mode of operation.

OUT
BOOTSTRAP CIRCUITRY
The ADP2300/ADP2301 each have an integrated boot regulator,
which requires that a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor (X5R or X7R) be
placed between the BST and SW pins to provide the gate drive
voltage for the high-side MOSFET. There must be at least a 1.2 V
difference between the BST and SW pins to turn on the high-side
MOSFET. This voltage should not exceed 5.5 V in case the BST
pin is supplied with an external voltage source through a diode.
The ADP2300/ADP2301 generate a typical 5.0 V bootstrap voltage
for a gate drive circuit by differentially sensing and regulating the
voltage between the BST and SW pins. A diode integrated on the
chip blocks the reverse voltage between the VIN and BST pins
when the MOSFET switch is turned on.
PWM MODE
In PWM mode, the ADP2300/ADP2301 operate at a fixed
frequency, set by an internal oscillator. At the start of each
oscillator cycle, the MOSFET switch is turned on, sending a
positive voltage across the inductor. The inductor current
increases until the current-sense signal crosses the peak
inductor current threshold that turns off the MOSFET switch;
this threshold is set by the error amplifier output. During the
MOSFET off time, the inductor current declines through the
external diode until the next oscillator clock pulse starts a new
cycle. The ADP2300/ADP2301 regulate the output voltage by
adjusting the peak inductor current threshold.
POWER SAVING MODE
To achieve higher efficiency, the ADP2300/ADP2301 smoothly
transition to the pulse-skip mode when the output load decreases
below the pulse-skip current threshold. When the output voltage
dips below regulation, the ADP2300/ADP2301 enter PWM mode
for a few oscillator cycles until the voltage increases to within
regulation. During the idle time between bursts, the MOSFET
switch is turned off, and the output capacitor supplies all the
output current.
PRECISION ENABLE
The ADP2300/ADP2301 feature a precision enable circuit that
has a 1.2 V reference voltage with 100 mV hysteresis. When the
voltage at the EN pin is greater than 1.2 V, the part is enabled. If the
EN voltage falls below 1.1 V, the chip is disabled. The precision
enable threshold voltage allows the ADP2300/ADP2301 to be
easily sequenced from other input/output supplies. It can also be
used as programmable UVLO input by using a resistive divider.
An internal 1.2 µA pull-down current prevents errors if the EN pin
is floating.
INTEGRATED SOFT START
The ADP2300/ADP2301 include internal soft start circuitry
that ramps the output voltage in a controlled manner during
startup, thereby limiting the inrush current. The soft start time is
typically fixed at 1460 µs for the ADP2300 and at 730 µs for the
ADP2301.
CURRENT LIMIT
The ADP2300/ADP2301 include current-limit protection circuitry
to limit the amount of positive current flowing through the highside MOSFET switch. The positive current limit on the power
switch limits the amount of current that can flow from the input
to the output.
Rev. A | Page 14 of 28
ADP2300/ADP2301
SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The ADP2300/ADP2301 include frequency foldback to prevent
output current runaway when there is a hard short on the output.
The switching frequency is reduced when the voltage at the FB pin
drops below a certain value, which allows more time for the
inductor current to decline, but increases the ripple current while
regulating the peak current. This results in a reduction in average
output current and prevents output current runaway. The correlation between the switching frequency and the FB pin voltage
is shown in Tabl e 5 .
Table 5. Correlation Between the Switching Frequency
and the FB Pin Voltage
FB Pin Voltage Switching Frequency
VFB ≥ 0.6 V fSW
0.6 V > VFB > 0.2 V ½ fSW
VFB ≤ 0.2 V ¼ fSW
When a hard short (VFB ≤ 0.2 V) is removed, a soft start cycle
is initiated to regulate the output back to its level during normal
operation, which helps to limit the inrush current and prevent
possible overshoot on the output voltage.
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT (UVLO)
The ADP2300/ADP2301 have fixed, internally set undervoltage
lockout circuitry. If the input voltage drops below 2.4 V, the
ADP2300/ADP2301 shut down and the MOSFET switch turns
off. After the voltage rises again above 2.8 V, the soft start
period is initiated, and the part is enabled.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
If the ADP2300/ADP2301 junction temperature rises above 140°C,
the thermal shutdown circuit disables the chip. Extreme junction
temperature can be the result of high current operation, poor
circuit board design, or high ambient temperature. A 15°C
hysteresis is included so that when thermal shutdown occurs,
the ADP2300/ADP2301 do not return to operation until the onchip temperature drops below 125°C. After the devices recover
from thermal shutdown, a soft start is initiated.
CONTROL LOOP
The ADP2300/ADP2301 are internally compensated to minimize
external component count and cost. In addition, the built-in
slope compensation helps to prevent subharmonic oscillations
when the ADP2300/ADP2301 operate at a duty cycle greater
than or close to 50%.

VOLTAGE CONVERSION LIMITATIONS
There are both lower and upper output voltage limitations for a
given input voltage due to the minimum on time, the minimum
off time, and the bootstrap dropout voltage.
The lower limit of the output voltage is constrained by the finite,
controllable minimum on time, which can be as high as 135 ns for
the worst case. By considering the variation of both the switching

In addition, the bootstrap circuit limits the minimum input

To attain stable operation at light loads and ensure proper startup
for the prebias condition, the ADP2300/ADP2301 require the
voltage difference between the input voltage and the regulated
output voltage (or between the input voltage and the prebias
voltage) to be greater than 2.1 V for the worst case. If the voltage
difference is smaller, the bootstrap circuit relies on some minimum
load current to charge the boost capacitor for startup. Figure 43
shows the typical required minimum input voltage vs. load current
for the 3.3 V output voltage.

LOW INPUT VOLTAGE CONSIDERATIONS
For low input voltage between 3 V and 5 V, the internal boot
regulator cannot provide enough 5.0 V bootstrap voltage due to
the internal dropout voltage. As a result, the increased MOSFET
R
reduces the available load current. To prevent this, add
DS(ON)
an external small-signal Schottky diode from a 5.0 V external
bootstrap bias voltage. Because the absolute maximum rating
between the BST and SW pins is 6.0 V, the bias voltage should
be less than 5.5 V. Figure 45 shows the application diagram for
the external bootstrap circuit.

However, the precision enable feature allows the ADP2300/

a resistive voltage divider to V

INDUCTOR
The high switching frequency of the ADP2300/ADP2301 allows
the use of small inductors. For best performance, use inductor
values between 2 H and 10 H for ADP2301, and use inductor
values between 2 H and 22 H for ADP2300.

Inductors of smaller values are usually smaller in size and less

optimal transient response and efficiency. Therefore, the inductor

The minimum current rating of the inductor must be greater
than the inductor peak current. For ferrite core inductors with a
quick saturation characteristic, the inductor saturation current
rating should be higher than the switch current-limit threshold
to prevent the inductor from reaching its saturation point. Be
sure to validate the worst-case condition, in which there is a
shorted output, over the intended temperature range.
Inductor conduction losses are caused by the flow of current
through the inductor, which is associated with the internal dc
resistance (DCR). Larger sized inductors have smaller DCR and,
therefore, may reduce inductor conduction losses. However,
inductor core losses are also related to the core material and the
ac flux swing, which are affected by the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current. Because the ADP2300/ADP2301 are high
switching frequency regulators, shielded ferrite core materials
are recommended for their low core losses and low EMI. Some
recommended inductors are shown in Tab le 7 .
The catch diode conducts the inductor current during the off
time of the internal MOSFET. The average current of the diode
in normal operation is, therefore, dependent on the duty cycle
of the regulator as well as the output load current.

The only reason to select a diode with a higher current rating than
necessary in normal operation is for the worst-case condition, in
which there is a shorted output. In this case, the diode current
increases up to the typical peak current-limit threshold. Be sure to
consult the diode data sheet to ensure that the diode can operate
well within the thermal and electrical limits.
The reverse breakdown voltage rating of the diode must be higher
than the highest input voltage and allow an appropriate margin
for the ringing that may be present on the SW node. A Schottky
diode is recommended for best efficiency because it has a low
forward voltage drop and fast switching speed. Tab l e 8 provides
a list of recommended Schottky diodes.
The input capacitor must be able to support the maximum input
operating voltage and the maximum rms input current. The
maximum rms input current flowing through the input
capacitor is I

OUTPUT CAPACITOR
The output capacitor selection affects both the output voltage ripple
and the loop dynamics of the regulator. The ADP2300/ADP2301
are designed to operate with small ceramic capacitors that have low
equivalent series resistance (ESR) and equivalent series inductance
(ESL) and are, therefore, easily able to meet stringent output voltage
ripple specifications.
When the regulator operates in forced continuous conduction
mode, the overall output voltage ripple is the sum of the voltage
spike caused by the output capacitor ESR plus the voltage ripple
caused by charging and discharging the output capacitor.

Ceramic capacitors are manufactured with a variety of dielectrics,
each with different behavior over temperature and applied voltage.
X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended for best performance,
due to their low ESR and small temperature coefficients. Y5V
and Z5U dielectrics are not recommended because of their poor
temperature and dc bias characteristics.
In general, most applications using the ADP2301 (1.4 MHz
switching frequency) require a minimum output capacitor value
of 10 µF, whereas most applications using the ADP2300 (700 kHz
switching frequency) require a minimum output capacitor value
of 20 µF. Some recommended output capacitors for V
are listed in Ta ble 9 .
The recommended input capacitor is ceramic with X5R or X7R
dielectrics due to its low ESR and small temperature coefficients.
A capacitance of 10 µF should be adequate for most applications.
To minimize supply noise, place the input capacitor as close to
the VIN pin of the ADP2300/ADP2301 as possible.

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The ADP2300/ADP2301 store the value of the inductor current
only during the on time of the internal MOSFET. Therefore, a small
amount of power is dissipated inside the ADP2300/ADP2301
package, which reduces thermal constraints.
However, when the application is operating under maximum
load with high ambient temperature and high duty cycle, the
heat dissipated within the package may cause the junction
temperature of the die to exceed the maximum junction
temperature of 125°C. If the junction temperature exceeds
140°C, the regulator goes into thermal shutdown and recovers
when the junction temperature drops below 125°C.
The junction temperature of the die is the sum of the ambient
temperature of the environment and the temperature rise of the
package due to power dissipation, as indicated in the following
equation:
= TA + TR
T

where:

The rise in temperature of the package is directly proportional
to the power dissipation in the package. The proportionality
constant for this relationship is the thermal resistance from the
junction of the die to the ambient temperature, as shown in the
following equation:

SWITCHING FREQUENCY SELECTION
Select the switching frequency—700 kHz (ADP2300) or 1.4 MHz
(ADP2301)—using the conversion limitation curve shown
in Figure 44 to assess the conversion limitations (the minimum o

time, the minimum off time, and the bootstrap dropout voltage).
For example, in Figure 44 V
= 12 V ± 10% is within the conver-
IN
sion limitation for both the 700 kHz and 1.4 MHz switching
frequencies for an output voltage of 3.3 V, but choosing the 1.4 MHz
switching frequency provides the smallest sized solution. If higher
efficiency is required, choose the 700 kHz option; however, the
PCB footprint area of the regulator will be larger because of the
bigger inductor and output capacitors.
CATCH DIODE SELECTION
Select the catch diode. A Schottky diode is recommended for best
efficiency because it has a low forward voltage drop and faster
switching speed. The average current of the catch diode in
normal operation, with a typical Schottky diode forward
voltage, can be calculated using the following equation:

However, for the worst-case condition, in which there is a shorted
output, the diode current would be increased to 2 A typical, determined by the peak switch current limit (see Tabl e 1). In this case,
selecting a B230A, 2.0 A/30 V surface-mount Schottky diode
would result in more reliable operation.

However, to protect the inductor from reaching its saturation

for at least a 2.0 A saturation current for reliable operation.

Because the output capacitor is one of the two external components

for this example.

Good circuit board layout is essential to obtain the best
performance from the ADP2300/ADP2301. Poor layout can
affect the regulation and stability, as well as the electromagnetic
interface (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
performance. A PCB layout example is shown in Figure 50.
Refer to the following guidelines for a good PCB layout:
• Place the input capacitor, inductor, catch diode, output
capacitor, and bootstrap capacitor close to the IC using
short traces.
• Ensure that the high current loop traces are as short and wide
as possible. The high current path is shown in Figure 49.
• Maximize the size of ground metal on the component side
to improve thermal dissipation.
• Use a ground plane with several vias connecting to the
component side ground to further reduce noise interference on sensitive circuit nodes.

• Minimize the length of the FB trace connecting the top of the
feedback resistive voltage divider to the output. In addition,
keep these traces away from the high current traces and the
switch node to avoid noise pickup.
