GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP5033 combines two high performance buck regulators
and two low dropout regulators (LDO) in a tiny, 16-ball, 2 mm ×
2 mm WLCSP to meet demanding performance and board
space requirements.
Regulators with Two 300 mA LDOs
ADP5033
The high switching frequency of the buck regulators enables
tiny multilayer external components and minimizes the board
space. When the MODE pin is set high, the buck regulators
operate in forced PWM mode. When the MODE pin is set low,
the buck regulators operate in QPXFSTBWFNPEFP

requirement and noise.
The low quiescent current, low dropout voltage, and wide input
voltage range of the ADP5033 LDO extend the battery life of
portable devices. The ADP5033 LDOs maintain power supply
rejection greater than 60 dB for frequencies as high as 10 kHz
while operating with a low headroom voltage.
The regulators in the ADP5033 are activated by the ENA and
ENB pins. The specific channels controlled by ENA and ENB
are set by factory programming. A high voltage level applied to
the enable pins activates the regulators. The default output
voltages are factory programmable and can be set to a wide
range of options.

POWER DISSIPATION AND THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The ADP5033 is a highly efficient micropower management
unit (µPMU), and, in most cases, the power dissipated in the
device is not a concern. However, if the device operates at high
ambient temperatures and maximum loading condition, the
junction temperature can reach the maximum allowable
operating limit (125°C).
When the temperature exceeds 150°C, the ADP5033 turns off
all the regulators, allowing the device to cool down. When the
die temperature falls below 130°C, the ADP5033 resumes
normal operation.
This section provides guidelines to calculate the power dissipated in the device and ensure that the ADP5033 operates
below the maximum allowable junction temperature.
The efficiency for each regulator on the ADP5033 is given by

Power dissipation can be calculated in several ways. The most
intuitive and practical is to measure the power dissipated at the
input and all the outputs. Perform the measurements at the
worst-case conditions (voltages, currents, and temperature).
The difference between input and output power is dissipated in
the device and the inductor. Use Equation 4 to derive the power
lost in the inductor and, from this, use Equation 3 to calculate
the power dissipation in the ADP5033 buck converter.
A second method to estimate the power dissipation uses the
efficiency curves provided for the buck regulator, and the power
lost on each LDO can be calculated using Equation 12. When
the buck efficiency is known, use Equation 2b to derive the total
power lost in the buck regulator and inductor, use Equation 4 to
derive the power lost in the inductor, and then calculate the
power dissipation in the buck converter using Equation 3. Add
the power dissipated in the buck and in the two LDOs to find
the total dissipated power.
Note that the buck efficiency curves are typical values and may

safety margin when calculating the power dissipated in the buck.
A third way to estimate the power dissipation is analytical and
involves modeling the losses in the buck circuit provided by
Equation 8 to Equation 11 and the losses in the LDO provided
by Equation 12.

and layers. It is important to maximize the copper used to remove
the heat from the device. Copper exposed to air dissipates heat
better than copper used in the inner layers. The exposed pad

The reliable operation of the converter and the two LDO regulators
can be achieved only if the estimated die junction temperature of
the ADP5033 (Equation 14) is less than 125°C. Reliability and
mean time between failures (MTBF) is highly affected by increasing the junction temperature. Additional information about
product reliability can be found in the ADI Reliability Handbook,

POWER MANAGEMENT UNIT
The ADP5033 is a micropower management unit (µPMU)
combing two step-down (buck) dc-to-dc convertors and two
low dropout linear regulators (LDO). The high switching
frequency and tiny 16-ball WLCSP package allow for a small
power management solution.
To combine these high performance regulators into the µPMU,
there is a system controller allowing them to operate together.
The buck regulators can operate in forced PWM mode if the
MODE pin is at a logic high level. In forced PWM mode, the
buck switching frequency is always constant and does not
change with the load current. If the MODE pin is at logic low,
the switching regulators operate in auto PWM/PSM mode.
In this mode, the regulators operate at fixed PWM frequency
when the load current is above the power saving current threshold. When the load current falls below the power save current
threshold, the regulator in question enters PSM where the
switching occurs in bursts. The burst repetition is a
VIN4VOUT4
function of the current load and the output capacitor value.
This operating mode reduces the switching and quiescent current losses. The auto PWM/PSM mode transition is controlled
independently for each buck regulator. The two bucks operate
synchronized to each other.
When a regulator is turned on, the output voltage ramp is
controlled through a soft start circuit to avoid a large inrush
current due to the charging of the output capacitors.
Thermal Protection
In the event that the junction temperature rises above 150°C,
the thermal shutdown circuit turns off all the regulators. Extreme
junction temperatures can be the result of high current operation, poor circuit board design, or high ambient temperature.
A 20°C hysteresis is included so that when thermal shutdown
occurs, the regulators do not return to operation until the on-chip
temperature drops below 130°C. When coming out of thermal
shutdown, all regulators restart with soft start control.

ADP5033
Undervoltage Lockout
To protect against battery discharge, undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
circuitry is integrated in the system. If the input voltage on VIN1
drops below a typical 2.15 V UVLO threshold, all channels shut
down. In the buck channels, both the power switch and the
synchronous rectifier turn off. When the voltage on VIN1 rises
above the UVLO threshold, the part is enabled once more.
Alternatively, the user can select device models with a UVLO
set at a higher level, suitable for USB applications. For these
models, the device reaches the turn-off threshold when the
input supply drops to 3.65 V typical.
In case of a thermal or UVLO event, the active pull-downs (if
factory enabled) are enabled to discharge the output capacitors
quickly. The pull-downs remain engaged until the input supply
voltage or thermal fault event is no longer present.
Enable/Shutdown
The ADP5033 has two enable pins (ENA and ENB). A high
level applied to the enable pins enables a certain selection of
regulators defined by factory programming. For example, the
ADP5033 can be factory programmed to enable BUCK1 and
LDO2 with ENA and BUCK2 and LDO1 with ENB. When both
enables are low, all regulators are turned off. When both enable
pins are high, all regulators are turned on. All possible regulator
combinations can be factory programmed to operate with the
ENA and ENB pins.
Figure 44 shows the regulator activation timings for the
ADP5033 when both enables are connected to VINx. Figure 44
also shows the active pull-down activation.
BUCK1 AND BUCK2
The two bucks use a fixed frequency and high speed current
mode architecture. The bucks operate with an input voltage of
2.3 V to 5.5 V.
Control Scheme
The bucks operate with a fixed frequency, current mode PWM
control architecture at medium to high loads for high efficiency
but shift to a PSM control scheme at light loads to lower the
regulation power losses. When operating in fixed frequency
PWM mode, the duty cycle of the integrated switches is adjusted
and regulates the output voltage. When operating in PSM at
light loads, the output voltage is controlled in a hysteretic
manner, with higher output voltage ripple. During part of this
time, the converter is able to stop switching and enters an idle
mode, which improves conversion efficiency.
PWM Mode
In PWM mode, the bucks operate at a fixed frequency of 3 MHz
set by an internal oscillator. At the start of each oscillator cycle,
the pFET switch is turned on, sending a positive voltage across
the inductor. Current in the inductor increases until the current
sense signal crosses the peak inductor current threshold that
turns off the pFET switch and turns on the nFET synchronous
rectifier. This sends a negative voltage across the inductor,
causing the inductor current to decrease. The synchronous
rectifier stays on for the rest of the cycle. The buck regulates the
output voltage by adjusting the peak inductor current threshold.

ADP5033
PSM
The bucks smoothly transition to PSM operation when the load
current decreases below the PSM current threshold. When
either of the bucks enters PSM, an offset is induced in the PWM
regulation level, which makes the output voltage rise. When the
output voltage reaches a level approximately 1.5% above the
PWM regulation level, PWM operation is turned off. At this
point, both power switches are off, and the buck enters an idle
mode. The output capacitor discharges until the output voltage
falls to the PWM regulation voltage, at which point the device
drives the inductor to make the output voltage rise again to the
upper threshold. This process is repeated while the load current
is below the PSM current threshold.
The ADP5033 has a dedicated MODE pin controlling the PSM
and PWM operation. A high logic level applied to the MODE
pin forces both bucks to operate in PWM mode. A logic level
low sets the bucks to operate in auto PSM/PWM.
PSM Current Threshold
The PSM current threshold is set to100 mA. The bucks employ
a scheme that enables this current to remain accurately controlled, independent of input and output voltage levels. This
scheme also ensures that there is very little hysteresis between
the PSM current threshold for entry to and exit from the PSM.
The PSM current threshold is optimized for excellent efficiency
over all load currents.
Oscillator/Phasing of Inductor Switching
The ADP5033 ensures that both bucks operate at the same
switching frequency when both bucks are in PWM mode.
Additionally, the ADP5033 ensures that when both bucks are in
PWM mode, they operate out of phase, whereby the Buck2
pFET starts conducting exactly half a clock period after the
Buck1 pFET starts conducting.
Short-Circuit Protection
The bucks include frequency foldback to prevent output current
runaway on a hard short. When the voltage at the feedback pin
falls below half the target output voltage, indicating the possibility of a hard short at the output, the switching frequency is
reduced to half the internal oscillator frequency. The reduction
in the switching frequency allows more time for the inductor to
discharge, preventing a runaway of output current.
Soft Start
The bucks have an internal soft start function that ramps the
output voltage in a controlled manner upon startup, thereby
limiting the inrush current. This prevents possible input voltage
drops when a battery or a high impedance power source is
connected to the input of the converter.
Current Limit
Each buck has protection circuitry to limit the amount of
positive current flowing through the pFET switch and the
amount of negative current flowing through the synchronous
rectifier. The positive current limit on the power switch limits
the amount of current that can flow from the input to the
output. The negative current limit prevents the inductor
current from reversing direction and flowing out of the load.
100% Duty Operation
With a dropin input voltage or with an increase in load current,
the buck may reach a limit where, even with the pFET switch
on 100% of the time, the output voltage drops below the desired
output voltage. At this limit, the buck transitions to a mode
where the pFET switch stays on 100% of the time. When the
input conditions change again and the required duty cycle
falls, the buck immediately restarts PWM regulation without
allowing overshoot on the output voltage.
Active Pull-Downs
All regulators have optional, factory programmable, active pulldown resistors discharging the respective output capacitors
when the regulators are disabled by the ENx pins or by a faulty
condition. The pull-down resistors are connected between
VOUTx and AGND. Active pull-downs are disabled when the
regulators are turned on. The typical value of the pull-down
resistor is 600 for the LDOs and 75 for the bucks. Figure 44
shows the activation timings for the active pull-down during
regulator activation and deactivation.
LDO1 AND LDO2
The ADP5033 contains two LDOs with low quiescent current
and two low dropout linear regulators and provides up to
300 mA of output current. Drawing a low 25 A quiescent
current (typical) at no load makes the LDO ideal for batteryoperated portable equipment.
Each LDO operates with an input voltage of 1.7 V to 5.5 V. The
wide operating range makes these LDOs suitable for cascading
configurations where the LDO supply voltage is provided from
one of the buck regulators.
Each LDO also provides high power supply rejection ratio
(PSRR), low output noise, and excellent line and load transient
response with just a small 1 µF ceramic input and output
capacitor.
LDO1 is optimized to supply analog circuits because it offers
better noise performance compared to LDO2. LDO1 should be
used in applications where noise performance is critical.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
BUCK EXTERNAL COMPONENT SELECTION
Trade-offs between performance parameters such as efficiency
and transient response can be made by varying the choice of
external components in the applications circuit, as shown in
Figure 1.
Inductor
The high switching frequency of the ADP5033 bucks allows for
the selection of small chip inductors. For best performance, use
inductor values between 0.7 H and 3 H. Suggested inductors
are shown in Ta ble 8.

Inductor conduction losses are caused by the flow of current
through the inductor, which has an associated internal dc
resistance (DCR). Larger sized inductors have smaller DCR,
which may decrease inductor conduction losses. Inductor core
losses are related to the magnetic permeability of the core material.
Because the bucks are high switching frequency dc-to-dc
converters, shielded ferrite core material is recommended for
its low core losses and low EMI.
Higher output capacitor values reduce the output voltage ripple
and improve load transient response. When choosing this value,
it is also important to account for the loss of capacitance due to
output voltage dc bias.
Ceramic capacitors are manufactured with a variety of dielectrics, each with a different behavior over temperature and
applied voltage. Capacitors must have a dielectric adequate
to ensure the minimum capacitance over the necessary
temperature range and dc bias conditions. X5R or X7R
dielectrics with a voltage rating of 6.3 V or 10 V are recommended for best performance. Y5V and Z5U dielectrics are
not recommended for use with any dc-to-dc converter because
of their poor temperature and dc bias characteristics.

In this example, the worst-case temperature coefficient
(TEMPCO) over −40°C to +85°C is assumed to be 15% for an
X5R dielectric. The tolerance of the capacitor (TOL) is assumed
to be 10%, and C
is 9.24 F at 1.8 V, as shown in Figure 45.
OUT
Substituting these values in the equation yields
= 9.24 F × (1 − 0.15) × (1 − 0.1) = 7.074 F

To guarantee the performance of the bucks, it is imperative
that the effects of dc bias, temperature, and tolerances on the
behavior of the capacitors be evaluated for each application.

Capacitors with lower equivalent series resistance (ESR) are

The effective capacitance needed for stability, which includes
temperature and dc bias effects, is a minimum of 7 µF and a
maximum of 40 µF.
The buck regulators require 10 µF output capacitors to guarantee stability and response to rapid load variations and to
transition into and out of the PWM/PSM modes. In certain
applications, where one or both buck regulators power a
processor, the operating state is known because it is controlled
by software. In this condition, the processor can drive the
MODE pin according to the operating state; consequently, it is
possible to reduce the output capacitor from 10 µF to 4.7 µF
because the regulator does not expect a large load variation
when working in PSM mode (see Figure 47).

To minimize supply noise, place the input capacitor as close
to the VINx pin of the buck as possible. As with the output
capacitor, a low ESR capacitor is recommended.
The effective capacitance needed for stability, which includes
temperature and dc bias effects, is a minimum of 3 µF and a
maximum of 10 µF. A list of suggested capacitors is shown in
Tabl e 1 0 .
The ADP5033 LDOs are designed for operation with small,
space-saving ceramic capacitors, but function with most
commonly used capacitors as long as care is taken with the ESR
value. The ESR of the output capacitor affects the stability of the
LDO control loop. A minimum of 0.70 µF capacitance with an
ESR of 1 Ω or less is recommended to ensure the stability of the
ADP5033. Transient response to changes in load current is also
affected by output capacitance. Using a larger value of output
capacitance improves the transient response of the ADP5033 to
large changes in load current.
Input Bypass Capacitor
Connecting a 1 µF capacitor from VIN3 and VIN4 to ground
reduces the circuit sensitivity to printed circuit board (PCB)
layout, especially when long input traces or a high source
impedance is encountered. If greater than 1 µF of output
capacitance is required, increase the input capacitor to match it.
Use any good quality ceramic capacitors with the ADP5033 as
long as they meet the minimum capacitance and maximum ESR
requirements. Ceramic capacitors are manufactured with a

variety of dielectrics, each with a different behavior over
temperature and applied voltage. Capacitors must have a
dielectric adequate to ensure the minimum capacitance over the
necessary temperature range and dc bias conditions. X5R or
X7R dielectrics with a voltage rating of 6.3 V or 10 V are
recommended for best performance. Y5V and Z5U dielectrics
are not recommended for use with any LDO because of their
poor temperature and dc bias characteristics.
Figure 46 depicts the capacitance vs. voltage bias characteristic
of a 0402 1 µF, 10 V, X5R capacitor. The voltage stability of a
capacitor is strongly influenced by the capacitor size and voltage
rating. In general, a capacitor in a larger package or higher voltage
rating exhibits better stability. The temperature variation of the
X5R dielectric is about ±15% over the −40°C to +85°C temperature range and is not a function of package or voltage rating.

PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES
Poor layout can affect ADP5033 performance, causing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) problems, ground bounce, and voltage losses. Poor
layout can also affect regulation and stability. A good layout is
implemented using the following guidelines:
• Place the inductor, input capacitor, and output capacitor
close to the IC using short tracks. These components carry
high switching frequencies, and large tracks act as antennas.
• Route the output voltage path away from the inductor and
SW node to minimize noise and magnetic interference.
• Maximize the size of ground metal on the component side
to help with thermal dissipation.
• Use a ground plane with several vias connecting to the
component side ground to further reduce noise interference on sensitive circuit nodes.
• Connect VIN1 and VIN2 together close to the IC using
short tracks.
