1.5A Step-Down Converter and 150mA LDO
General Description
Features
The AAT2786 is a dual output power solution. It includes
a 1.5A, 1.4MHz, high-efficiency step-down converter and
a high performance 150mA LDO regulator. The stepdown regulator output voltage is adjustable from 0.6V to
VIN. The LDO regulator has a factory preset fixed output
voltage from 1.2V to 3.3V.
• VIN Range : 2.5V to 5.5V
• 1.5A Step-Down Converter
▪ VOUT Range: 0.6V to VIN
▪ 95% Peak Efficiency
▪ High Efficiency across load range
▪ 42µA No Load Quiescent Current
▪ Optional “PWM Only” Low Noise Mode
▪ Current limit and soft start
• 150mA LDO Regulator
▪ VOUT Range: 1.2V to 3.3V (Fixed)
▪ High Power Supply Rejection Ratio
▪ Low Output Noise
• Independent Enable Pins
• Integrated Power MOSFETs
• Over-Temperature Protection
• TDFN34-16 Package
• -40°C to +85°C Temperature Range
The step-down converter consumes only 42µA of no-load
quiescent current and is designed to maintain high efficiency throughout the load range. The step-down converter has ultra-low RDS(ON) integrated MOSFETs and can
operate up to 100% duty cycle to enable high output
voltage, high current applications which require a low
dropout threshold. The AAT2786 provides excellent transient response and high output accuracy across the
operating range. Pulling the MODE/SYNC pin high
enables “PWM Only” mode, maintaining constant frequency and low output ripple across the operating range.
Alternatively, the converter may be synchronized to an
external clock input via the MODE/SYNC pin.
Applications
The MicroPower low dropout linear regulator in the
AAT2786 has been specifically designed for high-speed
turn-on and turn-off performance, fast transient response,
and good noise and power supply ripple rejection (PSRR),
making it ideal for powering sensitive circuits with fast
switching requirements.

Description
Step-down converter switching node. Connect the output inductor to this pin. The switching node is
internally connected to the drain of both high- and low-side MOSFETs.
Step-down converter main power ground return pin. Connect to the output and input capacitor return.
Non-power signal ground pin.
Step-down converter feedback input pin. This pin is connected either directly to the converter output or
to an external resistive divider for an adjustable output.
LDO output pin; should be decoupled with 2.2µF ceramic capacitor.
LDO ground connection pin.
LDO bypass capacitor connection; to improve AC ripple rejection, connect a 10nF capacitor to GND. This
will also provide a soft start function.
LDO enable pin; this pin should not be left floating. When pulled low, the LDO PMOS pass transistor
turns off and all internal circuitry enters low-power mode, consuming less than 1µA.
Open
LDO input voltage pin; should be decoupled with 1µF or greater capacitor.
Step-down converter power supply. Supplies power for the internal circuitry.
Step-down converter enable pin. A logic low disables the step-down converter and it consumes less than
1µA of current. When connected high, it resumes normal operation.
Connect to ground for Light-Load/PWM mode and optimized efficiency throughout the load range. Connect high for low noise PWM operation under all operating conditions. Connect to an external clock for
synchronization (PWM only).
Step-down converter input voltage for the power switches.

Functional Description
Step-Down Converter
The AAT2786 is a dual output power solution. It includes
a 1.5A, 1.4MHz, high-efficiency step-down converter and
a high performance 150mA LDO regulator. The stepdown regulator output voltage is adjustable from 0.6V to
VIN. The LDO regulator has a factory preset fixed output
voltage from 1.2V to 3.3V. The on and off states of the
step-down converter and the LDO regulator are independently controlled by separate enable pins.
The step-down converter in the AAT2786 is a high performance 1.5A monolithic step-down converter operating at
1.4MHz switching frequency. It minimizes external component size and optimizes efficiency over the complete load
range. Apart from the small bypass input capacitor, only a
small L-C filter is required at the output. Typically, a 3.3µH
inductor and a 22µF ceramic capacitor are recommended
for a 3.3V output (see table of recommended values).

PRODUCT DATASHEET
AAT2786
SystemPowerTM
1.5A Step-Down Converter and 150mA LDO
At dropout, the step-down converter duty cycle increases
to 100% and the output voltage tracks the input voltage
minus the RDS(ON) drop of the P-channel high side MOSFET
(plus the DC drop of the external inductor). The device
integrates extremely low RDS(ON) MOSFETs to achieve low
dropout voltage during 100% duty cycle operation. This is
advantageous in applications requiring high output voltages (typically > 2.5V) at low input voltages.
The integrated low-loss MOSFET switches can provide
greater than 95% efficiency at full load. Light-Load
operation maintains high efficiency under light load conditions (typically <150mA). The MODE/SYNC pin allows
optional “PWM only” mode. This maintains constant frequency and low output ripple across all load conditions.
Alternatively, the IC can be synchronized to an external
clock via the MODE/ SYNC input. External synchronization is maintained between 0.6MHz and 3.0MHz.
In battery-powered applications, as VIN decreases, the
converter dynamically adjusts the operating frequency
prior to dropout to maintain the required duty cycle and
provide accurate output regulation. Output regulation is
maintained until the dropout voltage, or minimum input
voltage, is reached. At 1.5A output load, dropout voltage
headroom is approximately 200mV.
The step-down converter in the AAT2786 typically
achieves better than ±0.5% output regulation across the
input voltage and output load range. A current limit of
2.0A (typical) protects the IC and system components
from short-circuit damage. Typical no load quiescent current is 42µA.
Thermal protection completely disables switching when
the maximum junction temperature is detected. The
junction over-temperature threshold is 140°C with 15°C
of hysteresis. Once an over-temperature or over-current
fault condition is removed, the output voltage automatically recovers.
Peak current mode control and optimized internal compensation provide high loop bandwidth and excellent
response to input voltage and fast load transient events.
Soft start eliminates output voltage overshoot when the
step-down converter is enabled. Under-voltage lockout
prevents spurious start-up events.
Control Loop
The step-down converter in the AAT2786 is a peak current mode step-down converter. The current through the
P-channel MOSFET (high side) is sensed for current loop
control, as well as short-circuit and overload protection.
A fixed slope compensation signal is added to the sensed
current to maintain stability for duty cycles greater than
50%. The peak current mode loop appears as a voltageprogrammed current source in parallel with the output
capacitor.
The output of the voltage error amplifier programs the
current mode loop for the necessary peak switch current
to force a constant output voltage for all load and line
conditions. Internal loop compensation terminates the
transconductance voltage error amplifier output. The
reference voltage is internally set to program the converter output voltage greater than or equal to 0.6V.
Soft Start/Enable
Soft start limits the current surge seen at VIN and eliminates output voltage overshoot. When EN_BUCK input is
pulled low the step-down converter is forced into a lowpower, non-switching state. The total input current during shutdown is less than 1µA.
Current Limit and
Over-Temperature Protection
For overload conditions, the peak input current in the
step-down converter is limited. To minimize power dissipation and stresses under current limit and short-circuit conditions, switching is terminated after entering
current limit for a series of pulses. Switching is terminated for seven consecutive clock cycles after a current
limit has been sensed for a series of four consecutive
clock cycles. Thermal protection completely disables
switching when internal dissipation becomes excessive.
The junction over-temperature threshold is 140°C with
15°C of hysteresis. Once an over-temperature or overcurrent fault conditions is removed, the output voltage
automatically recovers.
Under-Voltage Lockout
Internal bias of all circuits is controlled via the VIN input.
Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) in the step-down converter guarantees sufficient VIN bias and proper operation of all internal circuitry prior to activation.

AAT2786
SystemPowerTM
1.5A Step-Down Converter and 150mA LDO
LDO Functional Description
The LDO regulator in the AAT2786 is intended for applications with output current load requirements from no load
to 150mA. The advanced circuit design of the AAT2786
LDO regulator has been specifically optimized for very
fast start-up and shutdown timing. This proprietary
CMOS LDO has also been tailored for superior transient
response characteristics. These traits are particularly
important for applications that require fast power supply
timing, such as GSM cellular telephone handsets.
The high-speed turn-on capability of the LDO regulator
is enabled through the implementation of a fast start
control circuit, which accelerates the turn-on behavior of
fundamental control and feedback circuits. Fast turn-off
response time is achieved by an active output pull-down
circuit, which is enabled when the LDO regulator is
placed in shutdown mode. This active fast shutdown circuit has no adverse effect on normal device operation.
The AAT2786 LDO regulator has very fast transient
response characteristics, which is an important feature for
applications in which fast line and load transient response
are required. This rapid transient response behavior is
accomplished through the implementation of an active
error amplifier feedback control. This proprietary circuit
design is unique to this MicroPower LDO regulator.
The LDO regulator output has been specifically optimized
to function with low-cost, low-ESR ceramic capacitors.
However, the design will allow for operation over a wide
range of capacitor types.
A bypass pin has been provided to allow the addition of
an optional voltage reference bypass capacitor to reduce
output self noise and increase power supply ripple rejection. Device self noise and PSRR will be improved by the
addition of a small ceramic capacitor to this pin. However,
increased CBYPASS values may slow down the LDO
regulator turn-on time.
Enable Function
The AAT2786 features an LDO regulator enable/ disable
function. This pin (EN) is active high and is compatible
with CMOS logic. To assure the LDO regulator will switch
on, the EN turn-on control level must be greater than
1.5V. The LDO regulator will go into the disable shutdown mode when the voltage on the EN pin falls below
0.6V. If the enable function is not needed in a specific
application, it may be tied to VIN to keep the LDO regulator in a continuously on state.
16
When the LDO regulator is in shutdown mode, an internal 1.5kΩ resistor is connected between VOUT and GND.
This is intended to discharge COUT when the LDO regulator is disabled. The internal 1.5kΩ has no adverse effect
on device turn-on time.
Short-Circuit Protection
The AAT2786 contains an internal short-circuit protection
circuit that will trigger when the output load current
exceeds the internal threshold limit. Under short-circuit
conditions, the output of the LDO regulator will be current limited until the short-circuit condition is removed
from the output or LDO regulator package power dissipation exceeds the device thermal limit.
Thermal Protection
The AAT2786 has an internal thermal protection circuit
which will turn on when the device die temperature
exceeds 150°C. The internal thermal protection circuit
will actively turn off the LDO regulator output pass
device to prevent the possibility of over temperature
damage. The LDO regulator output will remain in a shutdown state until the internal die temperature falls back
below the 150°C trip point.
The combination and interaction between the short circuit and thermal protection systems allows the LDO
regulator to withstand indefinite short-circuit conditions
without sustaining permanent damage.
No-Load Stability
The AAT2786 is designed to maintain output voltage
regulation and stability under operational no load conditions. This is an important characteristic for applications
where the output current may drop to zero.
Reverse Output-to-Input
Voltage Conditions and Protection
Under normal operating conditions, a parasitic diode
exists between the output and input of the LDO regulator. The input voltage should always remain greater than
the output load voltage, maintaining a reverse bias on
the internal parasitic diode. Conditions where VOUT
might exceed VIN should be avoided since this would
forward bias the internal parasitic diode and allow excessive current flow into the VOUT pin, possibly damaging
the LDO regulator.

SystemPowerTM
1.5A Step-Down Converter and 150mA LDO
In applications where there is a possibility of VOUT
exceeding VIN for brief amounts of time during normal
operation, the use of a larger value CIN capacitor is
highly recommended. A larger value of CIN with respect
to COUT will effect a slower CIN decay rate during shutdown, thus preventing VOUT from exceeding VIN. In applications where there is a greater danger of VOUT exceeding VIN for extended periods of time, it is recommended
to place a Schottky diode across VIN to VOUT (connecting
the cathode to VIN and anode to VOUT). The Schottky
diode forward voltage should be less than 0.45V.
This LDO regulator has complete short-circuit and thermal protection. The integral combination of these two
internal protection circuits gives the AAT2786 LDO regulator a comprehensive safety system to guard against
extreme adverse operating conditions. Device power
dissipation is limited to the package type and thermal
dissipation properties. Refer to the Thermal Considerations
section of this datasheet for details on device operation
at maximum output current loads.
Component Selection For
Step-Down Converter
Manufacturer’s specifications list both the inductor DC
current rating, which is a thermal limitation, and the
peak current rating, which is determined by the saturation characteristics. The inductor should not show any
appreciable saturation under normal load conditions.
Some inductors may meet the peak and average current
ratings yet result in excessive losses due to a high DCR.
Always consider the losses associated with the DCR and
its effect on the total converter efficiency when selecting
an inductor.
The 3.3μH CDRH4D28 series Sumida inductor has a
49.2mΩ worst case DCR and a 1.57A DC current rating.
At full 1.5A load, the inductor DC loss is 97mW which
gives less than 1.5% loss in efficiency for a 1.5A, 3.3V
output.
Input Capacitor
Select a 10μF to 22μF X7R or X5R ceramic capacitor for
the input. To estimate the required input capacitor size,
determine the acceptable input ripple level (VPP) and
solve for C. The calculated value varies with input voltage and is a maximum when VIN is double the output
voltage.

The step-down converter uses peak current mode control with slope compensation to maintain stability for
duty cycles greater than 50%. The output inductor value
must be selected so the inductor current down slope
meets the internal slope compensation requirements.
The internal slope compensation for the adjustable and
low voltage fixed versions is 0.75A/μs. This equates to a
slope compensation that is 75% of the inductor current
down slope for a 1.8V output and 1.8μH inductor.

Always examine the ceramic capacitor DC voltage coefficient characteristics when selecting the proper value. For

The inductor should be set equal to the output voltage

that there is sufficient internal slope compensation.

The term VIN ⎝ VIN ⎠ appears in both the input voltage
ripple and input capacitor RMS current equations and is
a maximum when VO is twice VIN. This is why the input
voltage ripple and the input capacitor RMS current ripple
are a maximum at 50% duty cycle.
The input capacitor provides a low impedance loop for
the edges of pulsed current drawn by the AAT2786. Low
ESR/ESL X7R and X5R ceramic capacitors are ideal for
this function. To minimize stray inductance, the capacitor
should be placed as closely as possible to the IC. This
keeps the high frequency content of the input current
localized, minimizing EMI and input voltage ripple. The
proper placement of the input capacitor (C1) can be seen
in the evaluation board layout in the Layout section of
this datasheet (see Figure 2).
A laboratory test set-up typically consists of two long
wires running from the bench power supply to the evaluation board input voltage pins. The inductance of these
wires, along with the low-ESR ceramic input capacitor,
can create a high Q network that may affect converter
performance. This problem often becomes apparent in
the form of excessive ringing in the output voltage during load transients. Errors in the loop phase and gain
measurements can also result. Since the inductance of a
short PCB trace feeding the input voltage is significantly
lower than the power leads from the bench power supply, most applications do not exhibit this problem.
In applications where the input power source lead inductance cannot be reduced to a level that does not affect
the converter performance, a high ESR tantalum or aluminum electrolytic should be placed in parallel with the
low ESR/ESL bypass ceramic capacitor. This dampens
the high Q network and stabilizes the system.
18
Output Capacitor
The output capacitor limits the output ripple and provides holdup during large load transitions. A 10μF to
22μF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor typically provides
sufficient bulk capacitance to stabilize the output during
large load transitions and has the ESR and ESL characteristics necessary for low output ripple.
The output voltage droop due to a load transient is dominated by the capacitance of the ceramic output capacitor.
During a step increase in load current, the ceramic output
capacitor alone supplies the load current until the loop
responds. Within two or three switching cycles, the loop
responds and the inductor current increases to match the
load current demand. The relationship of the output voltage droop during the three switching cycles to the output
capacitance can be estimated by:
COUT =
3 · ∆ILOAD
VDROOP · FS
Once the average inductor current increases to the DC
load level, the output voltage recovers. The above equation establishes a limit on the minimum value for the
output capacitor with respect to load transients.
The internal voltage loop compensation also limits the
minimum output capacitor value to 10μF. This is due to
its effect on the loop crossover frequency (bandwidth),
phase margin, and gain margin. Increased output capacitance will reduce the crossover frequency with greater
phase margin.
Adjustable Output Resistor Selection
The output voltage on the AAT2786 is programmed with
external resistors R1 and R2. To limit the bias current
required for the external feedback resistor string while
maintaining good noise immunity, the minimum suggested value for R2 is 59kΩ. Although a larger value will
further reduce quiescent current, it will also increase the
impedance of the feedback node, making it more sensitive to external noise and interference. Table 1 summarizes the resistor values for various output voltages with
R2 set to either 59kΩ for good noise immunity or 221kΩ
for reduced no load input current.

Component Selection For LDO
Input Capacitor
Typically, a 1µF or larger capacitor is recommended for
CIN in most applications. A CIN capacitor is not required
for basic LDO regulator operation. However, if the
AAT2786 is physically located more than three centimeters from an input power source, a CIN capacitor will be
needed for stable operation. CIN should be located as
close to the device VIN pin as practically possible. CIN
values greater than 1µF will offer superior input line
transient response and will assist in maximizing the
highest possible power supply ripple rejection.
Ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic capacitors
may be selected for CIN. There is no specific capacitor
ESR requirement for CIN. However, for 150mA LDO regulator output operation, ceramic capacitors are recommended for CIN due to their inherent capability over
tantalum capacitors to withstand input current surges
from low impedance sources, such as batteries in portable devices.
Output Capacitor
For proper load voltage regulation and operational stability, a capacitor is required between pins VOUT and GND.
The COUT capacitor connection to the LDO regulator
ground pin should be made as direct as practically possible for maximum device performance.
2786.2008.04.1.0
The AAT2786 has been specifically designed to function
with very low ESR ceramic capacitors. For best performance, ceramic capacitors are recommended.
Typical output capacitor values for maximum output current conditions range from 1µF to 10µF. Applications
utilizing the exceptionally low output noise and optimum
power supply ripple rejection characteristics of the
AAT2786 should use 2.2µF or greater for COUT. If desired,
COUT may be increased without limit.
In low output current applications where output load is
less than 10mA, the minimum value for COUT can be as
low as 0.47µF.
Bypass Capacitor and
Low Noise Applications
A bypass capacitor pin is provided to enhance the low
noise characteristics of the AAT2786 LDO regulator. The
bypass capacitor is not necessary for operation of the
AAT2786. However, for best device performance, a small
ceramic capacitor should be placed between the bypass
pin (BYP) and the device ground pin (GND). The value of
CBYP may range from 470pF to 10nF. For lowest noise and
best possible power supply ripple rejection performance,
a 10nF capacitor should be used. To practically realize
the highest power supply ripple rejection and lowest output noise performance, it is critical that the capacitor
connection between the BYP pin and GND pin be direct
and PCB traces should be as short as possible. Refer to
the PCB Layout Recommendations section of this
datasheet for examples.
There is a relationship between the bypass capacitor value
and the LDO regulator turn-on time and turn-off time. In
applications where fast device turn-on and turn-off time
are desired, the value of CBYP should be reduced.
In applications where low noise performance and/ or
ripple rejection are less of a concern, the bypass capacitor may be omitted. The fastest device turn on time will
be realized when no bypass capacitor is used.
DC leakage on this pin can affect the LDO regulator output
noise and voltage regulation performance. For this reason, the use of a low leakage, high quality ceramic (NPO
or C0G type) or film capacitor is highly recommended.

Capacitor Characteristics
Ceramic composition capacitors are highly recommended over all other types of capacitors for use with the
AAT2786. Ceramic capacitors offer many advantages
over their tantalum and aluminum electrolytic counterparts. A ceramic capacitor typically has very low ESR, is
lower cost, has a smaller PCB footprint, and is nonpolarized. Line and load transient response of the LDO
regulator is improved by using low-ESR ceramic capacitors. Since ceramic capacitors are non-polarized, they
are not prone to incorrect connection damage.
Equivalent Series Resistance
ESR is a very important characteristic to consider when
selecting a capacitor. ESR is the internal series resistance associated with a capacitor that includes lead
resistance, internal connections, size and area, material
composition, and ambient temperature. Typically, capacitor ESR is measured in milliohms for ceramic capacitors
and can range to more than several ohms for tantalum
or aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
Ceramic Capacitor Materials
Ceramic capacitors less than 0.1µF are typically made
from NPO or C0G materials. NPO and C0G materials
generally have tight tolerance and are very stable over
temperature. Larger capacitor values are usually composed of X7R, X5R, Z5U, or Y5V dielectric materials.
Large ceramic capacitors (i.e., greater than 2.2µF) are
often available in low-cost Y5V and Z5U dielectrics.
These two material types are not recommended for use
with LDO regulators since the capacitor tolerance can
vary more than ±50% over the operating temperature
range of the device. A 2.2µF Y5V capacitor could be
reduced to 1µF over temperature; this could cause problems for circuit operation. X7R and X5R dielectrics are
much more desirable. The temperature tolerance of X7R
dielectric is better than ±15%.
Consult capacitor vendor datasheets carefully when
selecting capacitors for LDO regulators.
Thermal Calculations
There are three types of losses associated with the
AAT2786 step-down converter: switching losses, conduction losses, and quiescent current losses. Conduction
losses are associated with the RDS(ON) characteristics of
the power output switching devices. Switching losses are
dominated by the gate charge of the power output
switching devices. At full load, assuming continuous conduction mode (CCM), a simplified form of the step-down
converter and LDO losses is given by:
PTOTAL =
IO2 · (RDS(ON)H · VOBUCK + RDS(ON)L · [VINBUCK - VOUTBUCK])
VIN(BUCK)
+ (tsw · FS · IOBUCK + IQBUCK) · VINBUCK + (VINLDO - VOUTLDO) · IOLDO
IQBUCK and IQLDO are the step-down converter and LDO quiescent currents respectively. The term tSW is used to estimate the full load step-down converter switching losses.
For the condition where the step-down converter is in
dropout at 100% duty cycle, the total device dissipation
reduces to:
PTOTAL = IOBUCK2 · RDS(ON)H + (tSW · FS · IBUCK + IQBUCK) · VINBUCK + (VINLDO - VOUTLDO) · IOLDO
Since RDS(ON), quiescent current, and switching losses all
vary with input voltage, the total losses should be investigated over the complete input voltage range.
Given the total losses, the maximum junction temperature can be derived from the θJA for the TDFN34-16
package, which is 50°C/W.
TJ(MAX) = PTOTAL · ΘJA + TAMB
Capacitor area is another contributor to ESR. Capacitors
that are physically large in size will have a lower ESR
when compared to a smaller sized capacitor of an equivalent material and capacitance value. These larger devices can improve circuit transient response when compared
to an equal value capacitor in a smaller package size.

PCB Layout
The suggested PCB layout for the AAT2786 is shown in
Figures 1 and 2. The following guidelines should be used
to help ensure a proper layout.
1.
2.
3.
4.
The input and output capacitors (C2, C6, and C7)
should connect as closely as possible to the input and
output pins.
R1 and C3 are optional low pass filter components
for the IN supply pin for the BUCK if additional noise
decupling is required in a noisy system.
The connection of L1 to the LX pin should be as short
as possible.
The feedback trace or FB pin should be separated
from any power trace and connect as closely as possible to the load point. Sensing along a high-current
load trace will degrade DC load regulation.
2786.2008.04.1.0
5. The resistance of the trace from the load return to
PGND should be kept to a minimum. This will help to
minimize any error in DC regulation due to differences in the potential of the internal signal ground
and the power ground.
6. Connect unused signal pins to ground to avoid
unwanted noise coupling.
7. For low output noise and highest possible power supply ripple rejection performance, it is critical to connect the bypass capacitor (C8) and output capacitor
(C7) directly to the LDO regulator ground pin. This
method will eliminate any load noise or ripple current
feedback through the LDO regulator.
8. For good thermal coupling, PCB vias are required
from the pad for the TDFN paddle to the bottom
ground plane.

AAT2786 Losses
Total losses can be estimated by calculating the dropout (VIN = VOBUCK) losses where the power MOSFET RDS(ON) will be
at the maximum value. All values assume an 85°C ambient temperature and a 120°C junction temperature with the
TDFN 50°C/W package.
PTOTAL = IOBUCK2 · RDS(ON)H + (VINLDO - VOUTLDO) · IOLDO

= 615mW
TJ(MAX) = TAMB + ΘJA · PLOSS = 85°C + (50°C/W) · 615mW = 116°C
The total losses are also investigated at the nominal lithium-ion battery voltage (3.6V). The simplified version of the
RDS(ON) losses assumes that the N-channel and P-channel RDS(ON) are equal.
PTOTAL = IOBUCK2 · RDS(ON)H + (tsw · FS · IBUCK + IQBUCK) · VINBUCK + (VINLDO - VOUTLDO) - IOLDO
