GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP2370/ADP2371 are high efficiency, low quiescent current,
800 mA buck (step-down) dc-to-dc converters in small 8-lead,
3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP (QFN) packages. The total solution requires
only three tiny external components.
The buck regulator uses a proprietary high speed current mode,
constant frequency PWM control scheme for excellent stability
and transient response. The need for an external rectifier is eliminated by using a high efficiency synchronous rectifier architecture.
To ensure the longest battery life in portable applications, the
ADP2370/ADP2371 employ a power saving variable frequency
mode that reduces the switching frequency under light load
conditions. The ADP2370/ADP2371operate from input voltages
of 3.2 V to 15 V allowing the use of multiple alkaline/NiMH,
lithium cells, or other standard power sources.
The ADP2370/ADP2371 offer multiple options for setting the
operational frequency. The ADP2370/ADP2371 can be synchronized to a 600 kHz to 1.2 MHz external clock or it can be forced
to operate at 600 kHz or 1.2 MHz via the FSEL pin. The ADP2370/
ADP2371 can be forced to operate in PWM mode (FPWM)
when noise considerations are more important than efficiency.

Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable. However, no
responsibility is assumed by Analog Devices for its use, nor for any infringements of patents or other
ri
ghts 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.
A power-good output is available to indicate when the output
voltage is below 92% of its nominal value.
The ADP2371 is identical to the ADP2370except that the
ADP2371 includes the addition of an integrated switched
resistor, quick output discharge function (QOD) that automatically discharges the output when the device is disabled.
Both devices include an internal power switch and a synchronous
rectifier for minimal external part count and high efficiency.
The ADP2370/ADP2371 also include internal soft start and
internal compensation for ease of use.
During a logic controlled shutdown, the input is disconnected
from the output and the regulator draws less than 1.2 μA from
the input source. Other key features include undervoltage lockout
to prevent deep battery discharge and soft start to prevent input
overcurrent at startup. Short-circuit protection and thermal overload protection circuits prevent damage under adverse conditions.
The ADP2370/ADP2371 each use one 0805 capacitor, one 1206
capacitor, and one 4 mm × 4 mm inductor. The total solution
size is about 53 mm
2
resulting in a very small footprint solution
to meet a variety of portable applications.

The minimum input and output capacitance should be greater than 7 μF over the full range of operating conditions. The full range of operating conditions in the
application must be considered during device selection to ensure that the minimum capacitance specification is met. X7R- and X5R-type capacitors are recommended;
Y5V and Z5U capacitors are not recommended for use with any buck.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent dam age
to the device. This is a stress
rating only ; functional operation of the dev ice at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions fo r extended periods may affect
device reliability.
THERMAL DATA
Absolute maximum ratings apply individually only, not in combination. Exceeding the junction temperature (T
cause damage to the ADP2370/ADP2371. Monitoring ambient
temperature does not guarantee that T
is within the specified
J
temperature limits. The maximum ambient temperature may
require derating in applications with high power dissipation and
poor thermal resistance.
In applications with moderate power dissipation and low
printed circuit board (PCB) thermal resistance, the maximum
ambient temperature can exceed the maximum limit as long
as the junction temperature is within specification limits. The
junction temperature of the device is dependent on the ambient
temperature, the power dissipation of the device, and the junction
to ambient thermal resistance of the package (θ
