GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP3203 is a 1- or 2-phase hysteretic peak current dc-to-dc
buck converter controller dedicated to power a mobile
processor’s core. The optimized low voltage design is powered
from the 3.3 V system supply and draws only 10 µA maximum
in shutdown. The nominal output voltage is set by a 5-bit VID
code. To accommodate the transition time required by the
newest processors for on-the-fly VID changes, the ADP3203
features high speed operation to allow a minimized inductor size
that results in the fastest change of current to the output. To
further allow for the minimum number of output capacitors to
be used, the ADP3203 features active voltage positioning with
ADOPT optimal compensation to ensure a superior load transient
response. The output signal interfaces with the ADP3415
MOSFET driver that is optimized for high speed and high efficiency for driving both the top and bottom MOSFETs of the buck
converter. The ADP3203 is capable of controlling the synchronous
rectifier to extend battery lifetime in light load conditions.
