GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP2323 is a full featured, dual output, step-down dc-todc regulator based on current-mode architecture. The ADP2323
integrates two high-side power MOSFETs and two low-side drivers
for the external N-channel MOSFETs. The two pulse-width modulation (PWM) channels can be configured to deliver dual 3 A
outputs or a parallel-to-single 6 A output. The regulator operates
from input voltages of 4.5 V to 20 V, and the output voltage can
be as low as 0.6 V.
The switching frequency can be programmed between 250 kHz
and 1.2 MHz, or synchronized to an external clock to minimize
interference in multirail applications. The dual PWM channels
run 180° out of phase, thereby reducing input current ripple as
well as reducing the size of the input capacitor.
The bidirectional synchronization pin can be programmed at
a 60°, 90°, or 120° phase shift, providing the possibility for a
stackable multiphase power solution.
The ADP2323 can be set to operate in pulse-frequency modulation
(PFM) mode at a light load for higher efficiency or in forced
PWM for noise sensitive applications. External compensation
and soft start provide design flexibility. Independent enable
inputs and power good outputs provide reliable power sequencing.
To enhance system reliability, the device also includes undervoltage
lockout (UVLO), overvoltage protection (OVP), overcurrent protection (OCP), and thermal shutdown (TSD).
The ADP2323 operates over the −40°C to +125°C junction
temperature range and is available in a 32-lead LFCSP_WQ
package.

Pin No. Mnemonic Description
1 PGOOD1 Power-Good Output (Open Drain) for Channel 1. A pull-up resistor of 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ is recommended.
2 SCFG
Synchronization Configuration Input. The SCFG pin configures the SYNC pin as an input or output.
Connect SCFG to INTVCC to configure SYNC as an output. Using a resistor to pull down to GND
configures SYNC as an input with various phase shift degrees.
3 SYNC
Synchronization. This pin can be configured as an input or an output. When configured as an output,
it provides a clock at the switching frequency. When configured as an input, this pin accepts an
external clock to which the regulators are synchronized and the phase shift is configured by SCFG.
Note that when SYNC is configured as an input, the PFM mode is disabled and the device works only
in continuous conduction mode (CCM).
4 GND Analog Ground. Connect to the ground plane.
5 INTVCC
Internal 5 V Regulator Output. The IC control circuits are powered from this voltage. Place a 1 F
ceramic capacitor between INTVCC and GND.
