GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADP5037 combines two high performance buck regulators and two low dropout (LDO) regulators in a small, 24-lead 4 mm ×
Regulators with Two 300 mA LDOs
ADP5037
4 mm LFCSP to meet demanding performance and board space requirements.
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 and the load is above a predefined threshold, the buck regulators operate in PWM mode. When the load current falls below a predefined threshold, the regulator operates in power save mode (PSM), improving the light-load efficiency.
The two bucks operate out of phase to reduce the input capaci­tor requirement. The low quiescent current, low dropout voltage, and wide input voltage range of the ADP5037 LDOs extend the battery life of portable devices. The ADP5037 LDOs maintain power supply rejection greater than 60 dB for frequencies as high as 10 kHz while operating with a low headroom voltage.
Regulators in the ADP5037 are activated though dedicated enable pins. The default output voltages can be externally set in the adjustable version or factory programmable to a wide range of preset values in the fixed voltage version.

Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output voltage differential when the input voltage is set to the nominal output voltage. This applies only to output voltages
above 1.7 V.
5
Current-limit threshold is defined as the current at which the output voltage drops to 90% of the specified typical value. For example, the current limit for a 3.0 V
output voltage is defined as the current that causes the output voltage to drop to 90% of 3.0 V, or 2.7 V.

The minimum input and output capacitance should be greater than 0.70 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 because of their poor temperature and dc bias characteristics.

POWER DISSIPATION AND THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS

The ADP5037 is a highly efficient 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 ADP5037 turns off all the regulators, allowing the device to cool down. When the die temperature falls below 130°C, the ADP5037 resumes normal operation.
This section provides guidelines to calculate the power dissi­pated in the device and ensure that the ADP5037 operates below the maximum allowable junction temperature.
The efficiency for each regulator on the ADP5037 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 ADP5037 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 not be provided for all possible combinations of V I
To account for these variations, it is necessary to include a

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.

For the ADP5037, the total of (C

approximately 150 pF.
The transition losses occur because the P-channel power MOSFET cannot be turned on or off instantaneously, and the SW node takes some time to slew from near ground to near V
(and from V
OUT1
to ground). The amount of transition

loss is calculated by

If the preceding equations and parameters are used for estimat­ing the converter efficiency, it must be noted that the equations do not describe all of the converter losses, and the parameter values given are typical numbers. The converter performance also depends on the choice of passive components and board layout; therefore, a sufficient safety margin should be included in the estimate.

is the load current of the LDO regulator.

V
and V
IN
are input and output voltages of the LDO,

respectively.

Power dissipation due to the ground current is small and it can be ignored.

JUNCTION TEMPERATURE

In cases where the board temperature, TA, is known, the thermal resistance parameter, θ junction temperature rise. T the formula
T
= TA + (PD × θJA) (14)
J
The typical θ
value for the 24-lead, 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP is
JA
35°C/W (see Tab l e 6). A very important factor to consider is that θ
is based on a 4-layer 4 in × 3 in, 2.5 oz copper, as per
JA
JEDEC standard, and real applications may use different sizes 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 should be connected to the ground plane with several vias.
If the case temperature can be measured, the junction temperature is calculated by
T
= TC + (PD × θJC) (15)
J
where T
is the case temperature and θJC is the junction-to-case
C
thermal resistance provided in Table 6.
When designing an application for a particular ambient temperature range, calculate the expected ADP5037 power dissipation (P
) due to the losses of all channels by using the
D

THEORY OF OPERATION

POWER MANAGEMENT UNIT

The ADP5037 is a micropower management units (micro PMU) combining two step-down (buck) dc-to-dc convertors and two low dropout linear regulators (LDOs). The high switching frequency and tiny 24-lead LFCSP package allow for a small power management solution.
To combine these high performance regulators into the micro
Figure 45. Functional Block Diagram
PMU, 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 level, 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 PSM current threshold. When the load current falls below the PSM current threshold, the regulator in question enters PSM, where the switching occurs in bursts. The burst repetition rate is a 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.
The ADP5037 has individual enable pins (EN1 to EN4) control­ling the activation of each regulator. The regulators are activated by a logic level high applied to the respective EN pin. EN1 controls BUCK1, EN2 controls BUCK2, EN3 controls LDO1, and EN4 controls LDO2.
Regulator output voltages are set through external resistor dividers or can be optionally factory programmed to default values (see the Ordering Guide section).
When a regulator is turned on, the output voltage ramp rate is controlled though 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.

Undervoltage Lockout

To protect against battery discharge, undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuitry is integrated into 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-down resistors remain engaged until the thermal fault event is no longer present, or the input supply voltage falls below the V
voltage level. The typical value of V
POR
is approx-
POR
imately 1 V.

Enable/Shutdown

The ADP5037 has an individual control pin for each regulator. A logic level high applied to the ENx pin activates a regulator, whereas a logic level low turns off a regulator.
Figure 46 shows the regulator activation timings for the
ADP5037 when all enable pins are connected to AV I N. Also
shown is the active pull-down activation.

BUCK1 AND BUCK2

The buck uses a fixed frequency and high speed current mode architecture. The buck operates with an input voltage of 2.3 V to 5.5 V.
The buck output voltage is set through external resistor dividers, shown in Figure 47 for BUCK1. The output voltage can optionally be factory programmed to default values as indicated in the Ordering Guide section. In this event, R1 and R2 are not needed, and FB1 can be left unconnected. In all cases, VOUT1 must be connected to the output capacitor. FB1 is 0.5 V.
Figure 47. BUCK1 External Output Voltage Setting

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 power save mode (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.

Power Save Mode (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
Rev. A | Page 19 of 28
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 ADP5037 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 ADP5037 ensures that both bucks operate at the same switching frequency when both bucks are in PWM mode.
Additionally, the ADP5037 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 drop in 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. 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 Ω for the LDOs and 75 Ω for the bucks. Figure 46 shows the activation timings for the active pull-downs during regulator activation and deactivation.

LDO1 AND LDO2

The ADP5037 contains two LDOs with low quiescent current and low dropout voltage, and provides up to 300 mA of output current. Drawing a low 10 μA quiescent current (typical) at no load makes the LDO ideal for battery-operated 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 output voltage is set through external resistor dividers as shown in Figure 48 for LDO1. The output voltage can optionally be factory programmed to default values as indicated in the Ordering Guide section. In this event, Ra and Rb are not needed, and FB3 must be connected to the top of the capacitor on VOUT3. FB3 is 0.5 V.
Figure 48. LDO1 External Output Voltage Setting
The LDOs also provide high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR), low output noise, and excellent line and load transient response with only 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.

Feedback Resistors

For the adjustable model, referring to Figure 47, the total combined resistance for R1 and R2 is not to exceed 400 kΩ.

Inductor

The high switching frequency of the ADP5037 bucks allows for the selection of small chip inductors. For best performance, use inductor values between 0.7 μH and 3 μH. Suggested inductors are shown in Tabl e 8.

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.

where:

TEMPCO is the worst-case capacitor temperature coefficient. TOL is the worst-case component tolerance.
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 9.2 μF at 1.8 V, as shown in Figure 49.
OUT
Substituting these values in the equation yields
C
= 9.2 μF × (1 − 0.15) × (1 − 0.1) = 7.0 μF
EFF
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.
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.

Output Capacitor

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.

The peak-to-peak output voltage ripple for the selected output capacitor and inductor values is calculated using the following equation:
Capacitors with lower effective series resistance (ESR) are preferred to guarantee low output voltage ripple, as shown in the following equation:
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. A list of suggested capaci­tors is shown in Tab l e 9. In certain applications where one or both buck regulator powers 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 50).

Input Capacitor

Higher value input capacitors help to reduce the input voltage ripple and improve transient response. Maximum input capacitor current is calculated using the following equation:
To minimize supply noise, place the input capacitor as close as possible to the VINx pin of the buck. 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 Table 9 and Ta b l e 10.

LDO EXTERNAL COMPONENT SELECTION

Feedback Resistors

For the adjustable model, the maximum value of Rb is not to exceed 200 kΩ (see Figure 48).

Output Capacitor

The ADP5037 LDOs are designed for operation with small, space­saving 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 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 that stability of the ADP5037. 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 ADP5037 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 high source imped­ance is encountered. If greater than 1 µF of output capacitance is required, increase the input capacitor to match it.

Input and Output Capacitor Properties

Use any good quality ceramic capacitors with the ADP5037 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 51 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 with 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.

Use the following equation to determine the worst-case capa­citance accounting for capacitor variation over temperature, component tolerance, and voltage:
C

EFF
× (1 − TEMPCO) × (1 − TOL)
BIAS
where: C
is the effective capacitance at the operating voltage.
BIAS
TEMPCO is the worst-case capacitor temperature coefficient. TOL is the worst-case component tolerance.
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 0.85 μF at 1.8 V as shown in Figure 51.
BIAS
Substituting these values into the following equation,
C
= 0.85 μF × (1 − 0.15) × (1 − 0.1) ≈ 0.65 μF
EFF
Therefore, the capacitor chosen in this example meets the minimum capacitance requirement of the LDO over temperature and tolerance at the chosen output voltage.
To guarantee the performance of the ADP5037, it is imperative that the effects of dc bias, temperature, and tolerances on the behavior of the capacitors be evaluated for each application.

PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES

Poor layout can affect ADP5037 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, VIN2, and AVIN together close to the IC
using short tracks.
