GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP2325 is a full featured, dual output, step-down dc-to-dc
regulator based on a current mode architecture. The ADP2325
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 5 A
outputs or a parallel-to-single 10 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 from 250 kHz to
1.2 MHz, or it can be 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 to provide for a stackable, multiphase power solution.
The ADP2325 can be configured to operate in pulse frequency
modulation (PFM) mode at a light load for higher efficiency or
in forced PWM mode for noise sensitive applications. External
compensation and soft start provide design flexibility.
responsibility is assumed by Analog Devices for its use, nor for any infringements of patents or other
rights of third parties that may result from its use. Specifications subject to change without notice. No
license is granted by implication or otherwise under any patent or patent rights of Analog Devices.
Independent enable inputs and power-good outputs provide
reliable power sequencing. To enhance system reliability, the device
includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO), overvoltage protection
(OVP), overcurrent protection, and thermal shutdown.
The ADP2325 operates over the −40°C to +125°C junction
temperature range and is available in a 32-lead LFCSP_WQ
package.

clock at the switching frequency. When configured as an input, this pin accepts an external clock to which the
regulators are synchronized. 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 in continuous conduction mode (CCM) only.
