GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP2380 is a current mode control, synchronous, step-down,
dc-to-dc regulator. It integrates a 44 mΩ high-side power MOSFET
and a low-side driver to provide a high efficiency solution. The
ADP2380 runs from an input voltage of 4.5 V to 20 V and can
deliver 4 A of output current. The output voltage can be adjusted
to 0.6 V to 90% of the input voltage. The switching frequency of
the ADP2380 can be programmed from 250 kHz to 1.4 MHz or
fixed at 290 kHz or 540 kHz. The synchronization function allows
the switching frequency to be synchronized to an external clock
to minimize system noise.
Rev. 0
External compensation and an adjustable soft start provide
design flexibility. The power-good output provides simple and
reliable power sequencing. Additional features include
programmable undervoltage lockout (UVLO), overvoltage
protection (OVP), overcurrent protection (OCP), and thermal
shutdown (TSD).
The ADP2380 operates over the −40°C to +125°C junction
temperature range and is available in a 16-lead TSSOP_EP
package.

Description
Power Input. Connect PVIN to the input power source and connect a bypass capacitor between this pin
and PGND.
Undervoltage Lockout Pin. An external resistor divider can be used to set the turn-on threshold.
Power-Good Output (Open Drain). It is recommended that a pull-up resistor of 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ be
connected to PGOOD.
Frequency Setting. Connect a resistor between RT and GND to program the switching frequency
between 250 kHz and 1.4 MHz. If the RT pin is connected to GND, the switching frequency is set to 290 kHz.
If the RT pin is open, the switching frequency is set to 540 kHz.
Synchronization Input. Connect this pin to an external clock to synchronize the switching frequency
between 250 kHz and 1.4 MHz (see the Oscillator section and the Synchronization section for details).
Enable (EN). When this pin voltage falls below 0.5 V, the regulator is disabled.
Soft Start (SS). This pin can also be used to set the soft start time. Connect a capacitor from SS to GND to
program the slow soft start time. If this pin is open, the regulator is enabled and uses the internal soft start.
Error Amplifier Output. Connect an RC network from COMP to FB.
Feedback Voltage Sense Input. Connect this pin to a resistor divider from VOUT.
Analog Ground. Connect this pin to the ground plane.
Power Ground. Connect this pin to the source of the synchronous N-channel MOSFET.
Internal 8 V Regulator Output. Place a 1 µF ceramic capacitor between this pin and GND.
Low-Side Gate Driver Output. Connect this pin to the gate of the synchronous N-MOSFET.
Switch Node Output. Connect this pin to the output inductor.
Supply Rail for the High-Side Gate Drive. Place a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between SW and BST.
Exposed Pad. The exposed pad should be soldered to a large external copper ground plane underneath
the IC for thermal dissipation.

ADP2380
THEORY OF OPERATION
CONTROL SCHEME
The ADP2380 uses fixed frequency, peak current mode PWM
control architecture. At the start of each oscillator cycle, the
high-side N-MOSFET is turned on, putting 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 high-side N-MOSFET and turns on the
low-side N-MOSFET. This puts a negative voltage across the
inductor, causing the inductor current to decrease. The lowside N-MOSFET stays on for the rest of the cycle.
INTERNAL REGULATOR (VREG)
The internal regulator provides a stable supply for the internal
circuits and provides bias voltage for the low-side gate driver.
Placing a 1 µF ceramic capacitor between VREG and GND is
recommended. The internal regulator also includes a currentlimit circuit to protect the circuit if the maximum external
load is added.

The ADP2380 can operate with an input voltage from 4.5 V to
20 V and regulate the output voltage down to 0.6 V. Additional
features for design flexibility include programmable switching
frequency, soft start, external compensation, and power-good pin.
A 100 kΩ resistor sets the frequency to 500 kHz, and a 215 kΩ
resistor sets the frequency to 250 kHz. Figure 31 shows the typical
relationship between fSW and ROSC.
SWITCHING FREQUENCY (kHz)
The ADP2380 is a synchronous, step-down, dc-to-dc regulator.
It uses current mode architecture with an integrated high-side
power switch and a low-side driver. It targets high performance
applications that require high efficiency and design flexibility.
Figure 31. Switching Frequency vs. ROSC
SYNCHRONIZATION
To synchronize the ADP2380, connect an external clock to the
SYNC pin. The frequency of the external clock can be in the
range of 250 kHz to 1.4 MHz. During synchronization, the
switching rising edge runs 180° out of phase with the external
clock rising edge.
When the ADP2380 is being synchronized, connect a resistor
from the RT pin to GND to program the internal oscillator to
run at 90% to 110% of the external synchronization clock.
The ADP2380 has integrated the boot regulator to provide the
gate drive voltage for the high-side N-MOSFET. It generates a
5 V bootstrap voltage between BST and SW by differential
sensing.
ENABLE AND SOFT START
It is recommended to place a 0.1 µF, X7R or X5R ceramic
capacitor between the BST pin and the SW pin.
The ADP2380 has an internal digital soft start. The internal soft
start time can be calculated by using the following equation:
When the voltage of the EN/SS pin exceeds 0.5 V, the ADP2380
starts operation.
LOW-SIDE DRIVER
t SS _ INT =
The LD pin provides the gate driver for the low-side N-channel
MOSFET. Internal circuitry monitors the external MOSFET to
ensure break-before-make switching to prevent cross conduction.
OSCILLATOR
The ADP2380 switching frequency is controlled by the RT pin.
If the RT pin is connected to GND, the switching frequency is
set to 290 kHz. If the RT pin is open, the switching frequency is
set to 540 kHz. A resistor connected from RT to GND can
program the switching frequency according to the following
equation:
f SW [kHz] =
57,600
ROSC [kΩ] + 15
1600
( ms)
f SW [ kHz ]
A slow soft start time can be programmed by the EN/SS pin.
Place a capacitor between the EN/SS pin and GND. An internal
current charges this capacitor to establish the soft start ramp.
The soft start time can be calculated by using the following
equation:
t SS _ EXT =
0.6 V × C SS
I SS _ UP
where:
CSS is the soft start capacitance.
ISS_UP is the soft start pull-up current (3.2 µA).
The internal error amplifier includes three positive inputs: the
internal reference voltage, the internal digital soft start voltage,
and the EN/SS voltage. The error amplifier regulates the FB
voltage to the lowest of the three voltages.
Rev. 0 | Page 13 of 28
ADP2380
Data Sheet
If the output voltage is charged prior to turn-on, the ADP2380
prevents the low-side MOSFET from turning on, which discharges
the output voltage until the soft start voltage exceeds the voltage
on the FB pin.
When the regulator is disabled or a current fault happens, the
soft start capacitor is discharged, and the internal digital soft
start is reset to 0 V.
POWER GOOD
The power-good (PGOOD) pin is an active high, open-drain
output that requires a pull-up resistor. A logic high indicates
that the voltage at the FB pin (and, therefore, the output
voltage) is above 95% of the reference voltage and there is a
1024 cycle waiting period before PGOOD is pulled high. A logic
low indicates that the voltage at the FB pin is below 90% of the
reference voltage and there is a 16-cycle waiting period before
PGOOD is pulled low.
PEAK CURRENT-LIMIT AND SHORT-CIRCUIT
PROTECTION
The ADP2380 has a peak current-limit protection circuit to
prevent current runaway. During soft start, the ADP2380 uses
frequency foldback to prevent output current runaway. The
switching frequency is reduced according to the voltage on the
FB pin, which allows more time for the inductor to discharge.
The correlation between the switching frequency and FB pin
voltage is shown in Table 5.
The ADP2380 also provides a sink current limit to prevent the
low-side MOSFET from sinking a large amount of current from
the load. When the voltage across the low-side MOSFET exceeds
the sink current-limit threshold, which is typically 20 mV, the
low-side MOSFET turns off immediately for the rest of this cycle.
Both high-side and low-side MOSFETs turn off until the next
clock cycle.
In some cases, the input voltage (PVIN) ramp rate is too slow or
the output capacitor is too large to support the setting regulation
voltage during the soft start, causing the regulator to enter hiccup
mode. To avoid such cases, use a resistor divider at the UVLO
pin to program the UVLO input voltage, or use a longer soft
start time.
OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION (OVP)
The ADP2380 provides an overvoltage protection feature to
protect the system against an output that shorts to a higher
voltage supply or the occurrence of a strong load transient.
If the feedback voltage increases to 0.7 V, the internal high-side
MOSFET and low-side driver are turned off until the voltage at FB
decreases to 0.63 V. At that time, the ADP2380 resumes normal
operation.
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT (UVLO)
The UVLO pin enable threshold is 1.2 V with 100 mV hysteresis.
The ADP2380 has an internal voltage divider that consists of
two resistors from PVIN to GND, with 320 kΩ for the high-side
resistor and 125 kΩ for the low-side resistor. An external resistor
divider from PVIN to GND can be used to override the internal
resistor divider.
Table 5. Switching Frequency and FB Pin Voltage

VFB ≥ 0.4 V

If the current-limit fault is cleared, the regulator resumes
normal operation. Otherwise, it reenters hiccup mode.
Switching Frequency
fSW
fSW/2
fSW/4
For heavy load protection, the ADP2380 uses hiccup mode for
overcurrent protection. When the inductor peak current reaches
the current-limit value, the high-side MOSFET turns off and
the low-side driver turns on until the next cycle, while the
overcurrent counter increments. If the overcurrent counter
reaches 10, or the FB pin voltage falls to ≤0.4 V after the soft
start, the regulator enters hiccup mode. The high-side MOSFET
and low-side MOSFET are both turned off. The regulator remains
in this mode for 4096 clock cycles and then attempts to restart.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
In the event that the ADP2380 junction temperatures rise above
150°C, the thermal shutdown circuit turns off the regulator.
Extreme junction temperatures can be the result of high current
operation, poor circuit board design, and/or high ambient
temperature. A 25°C hysteresis is included so that, when thermal
shutdown occurs, the ADP2380 does not return to operation until
the on-chip temperature drops below 125°C. Upon recovery, soft
start is initiated prior to normal operation.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The maximum output voltage for a given input voltage and
switching frequency is constrained by the minimum off time
and the maximum duty cycle. The minimum off time is typically
200 ns, and the maximum duty cycle of the ADP2380 is
typically 90%.
INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
The input decoupling capacitor is used to attenuate high
frequency noise on the input. This capacitor should be a
ceramic capacitor in the range of 10 µF to 47 µF. Place the
capacitor close to the PVIN pin. The loop composed of this
input capacitor, high-side NFET, and low-side NFET must be
kept as small as possible.
The voltage rating of the input capacitor must be greater than
the maximum input voltage. The rms current rating of the input
capacitor should be larger than the following equation:
OUTPUT VOLTAGE SETTING
The output voltage of ADP2380 can be set by an external
resistive divider using the following equation:
The maximum output voltage, limited by the maximum duty
cycle at a given input voltage, can be calculated by using the
following equation:




VOUT_MAX = DMAX × VIN
To limit output voltage accuracy degradation due to FB bias
current (0.1 µA maximum) to less than 0.5% (maximum),
ensure that RBOT is less than 30 kΩ.
As Equation 1 to Equation 3 show, reducing the switching
frequency alleviates the minimum on time and minimum off
time limitation.

The inductor value is determined by the operating frequency,
input voltage, output voltage, and inductor ripple current. Using
a small inductor leads to a faster transient response but degrades
efficiency, due to larger inductor ripple current; whereas, using
a large inductor value leads to smaller ripple current and better
efficiency but results in a slower transient response.

As a guideline, the inductor ripple current, ΔIL, is typically set
to 1/3 of the maximum load current. The inductor can be
calculated using the following equation:
VOLTAGE CONVERSION LIMITATIONS
The minimum output voltage for a given input voltage and
switching frequency is constrained by the minimum on time.
The minimum on time of the ADP2380 is typically 120 ns. The
minimum output voltage at a given input voltage and frequency
can be calculated using the following equation:
VOUT_MIN = VIN × tMIN_ON × fSW − (RDSON_HS − RDSON_LS) ×
IOUT_MIN × tMIN_ON × fSW − (RDSON_LS + RL) × IOUT_MIN
where:
VOUT_MIN is the minimum output voltage.
tMIN_ON is the minimum on time.
fSW is the switching frequency.

The inductor peak current is calculated using the following
equation:
The saturation current of the inductor must be larger than
the peak inductor current. For the ferrite core inductors with
a quick saturation characteristic, the saturation current rating
of the inductor must be higher than the current-limit threshold of

OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
Select the largest output capacitance given by COUT_UV, COUT_OV,
and COUT_RIPPLE to meet both load transient and output ripple
performance.
The output capacitor selection affects both the output ripple
voltage and the loop dynamics of the regulator.
During a load step transient on the output, for example, when
the load is suddenly increased, the output capacitor supplies the
load until the control loop has a chance to ramp up the inductor
current, which causes the output to undershoot. The output
capacitance required to satisfy the voltage droop requirement
can be calculated using the following equation:
KUV × ∆I STEP × L
=
2 × (VIN − VOUT ) × ∆VOUT _ UV
2
COUT _ UV
The selected output capacitor voltage rating should be greater
than the output voltage. The rms current rating of the output
capacitor should be larger than the result of the following equation:
I COUT _ RMS =
LOW-SIDE POWER DEVICE SELECTION
The selected MOSFET must meet the following requirements:
•
Another case occurs when a load is suddenly removed from
the output. The energy stored in the inductor rushes into the
capacitor, which causes the output to overshoot. The output
capacitance required to meet the overshoot requirement can
be calculated using the following equation:
K OV × ∆I STEP × L

where:
KOV is a factor, typically, of 2.

The output ripple is determined by the ESR and the capacitance. Use the following equation to select a capacitor that can
meet the output ripple requirements:

RESR is the equivalent series resistance of the output capacitor.
Drain-source voltage (VDS) must be greater than
1.2 × VIN.
Drain current (ID) must be greater than 1.2 × ILIMIT_MAX,
which is the selected maximum current-limit threshold.
The ADP2380 low-side gate drive voltage is 8 V. Ensure
that the selected MOSFET can fully turn on at 8 V. Total
gate charge (Qg at 8 V) must be less than 50 nC. Lower Qg
characteristics constitute higher efficiency.
The low-side MOSFET carries the inductor current when
the high-side MOSFET is turned off. For low duty cycle
applications, the low-side MOSFET carries the output
current during most of the period. To achieve higher
efficiency, it is important to select a low on-resistance
MOSFET. The power conduction loss of the low-side
MOSFET can be calculated by using the following
equation:
where RDSON is the on resistance of the low-side MOSFET.
Make sure that the MOSFET can handle the thermal
dissipation due to the power loss.
Some recommended MOSFETs are listed in Table 8.

PROGRAMMING INPUT VOLTAGE UVLO
The control to output transfer function is given by
The internal voltage divider from PVIN to GND sets the default
start/stop values of the input voltage to achieve undervoltage
lockout (UVLO) performance. The default rising/falling threshold
of PVIN and UVLO are listed in Table 9. For a more accurate,
externally adjustable UVLO, these default values can be replaced
by using an external voltage divider, as shown in Figure 32.
Lower values of the external resistors are recommended to obtain
a high accuracy UVLO threshold because the values of the internal
320 kΩ and 125 kΩ resistors may vary by as much as 20%.

DESIGN EXAMPLE
This section provides the procedures for selecting the external
components based on the example specifications listed in Table 10.
The schematic of this design example is shown in Figure 36.
Calculate the rms current flowing through the inductor using
the following equation:
I RMS = I OUT 2 +

VIN = 12.0 V ± 10%
VOUT = 3.3 V
IOUT = 4 A
∆VOUT_RIPPLE = 33 mV
±5%, 1 A to 4 A, 2 A/μs
fSW = 500 kHz
This results in IRMS = 4.01 A.
According to the calculated rms and peak inductor current
values, select an inductor with a minimum rms current rating of
4.01 A and a minimum saturation current rating of 4.51 A.
To protect the inductor from reaching its saturation limit, the
inductor should be rated for at least a 7 A saturation current for
reliable operation.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE SETTING
Choose a 10 kΩ resistor as the top feedback resistor (RTOP) and
calculate the bottom feedback resistor (RBOT).

Based on these requirements, select a 4.7 μH inductor, such as
the FDVE1040-4R7M from Toko, which has a 13.8 mΩ DCR
and an 8.2 A saturation current.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
The output capacitor is required to meet both the output voltage
ripple requirement and the load transient response.
To set the output voltage to 3.3 V, the resistors values are
RTOP = 10 kΩ, RBOT = 2.21 kΩ.
FREQUENCY SETTING
Connect a 100 kΩ resistor from the RT pin to GND to set the
switching frequency at 500 kHz.
To meet the output voltage ripple requirement, use the following
equation to calculate the ESR and capacitance of the output
capacitor:
C OUT _ RIPPLE =
INDUCTOR SELECTION
The peak-to-peak inductor ripple current, ∆IL, is set to 30% of
the maximum output current. Use the following equation to
estimate the inductor value:
(V − VOUT ) × D
L = IN
∆I L × f SW
This results in COUT_RIPPLE = 7.7 μF and RESR = 32 mΩ.
K OV × ∆I STEP × L
(VOUT + ∆VOUT _ OV ) 2 − VOUT
2
K UV × ∆I STEP × L
2 × (V IN − VOUT ) × ∆VOUT _ UV
2
C OUT _ UV =
− VOUT ) × D
L × f SW
where:
KOV = KUV = 2, the coefficients for estimation purposes.
∆ISTEP = 3 A, the load transient step.
∆VOUT_OV = 5%VOUT, the overshoot voltage.
∆VOUT_UV = 5%VOUT, the undershoot voltage.
This results in COUT_OV = 76 μF and COUT_UV = 30 μF.
This results in ∆IL = 1.02 A.
Calculate the peak inductor current using the following equation:
∆I L
2
∆I L

Calculate the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current using the
following equation:
I PEAK = I OUT +
∆VOUT _ RIPPLE
C OUT _ OV =
This results in L = 3.987 μH. Choose the standard inductor
value of 4.7 μH.
(V IN
RESR =
∆I L
8 × f SW × ∆VOUT _ RIPPLE
To meet the ±5% overshoot and undershoot transient
requirements, use the following equations to calculate the
capacitance:
where:
VIN = 12 V.
VOUT = 3.3 V.
D = VOUT/VIN = 0.275.
∆IL = 1.2A.
fSW = 500 kHz.
∆I L =
∆I L 2
12
According to the preceding calculation, the output capacitance
must be larger than 76 μF, and the ESR of the output capacitor
must be smaller than 32 mΩ. It is recommended that two pieces
of 47 μF/X5R/6.3 V ceramic capacitors be used, such as the
GRM32ER60J476ME20 from Murata, with an ESR of 2 mΩ.
This results in IPEAK = 4.51 A.

LOW-SIDE MOSFET SELECTION
This results in the following:
RC_EA = 52.3 kΩ.
CC_EA = 1055 pF.
CCP_EA = 2.45 pF.
A low RDSON N-channel MOSFET is chosen as a high efficiency
solution. The breakdown voltage of the MOSFET must be
higher than 1.2 × VIN, and the drain current must be larger than
1.2 × ILIMIT.
Choose the standard values for RC_EA = 49.9 kΩ, CC_EA = 1000 pF,
and CCP_EA = 2.2 pF.
It is recommended to use a 30 V, N-channel MOSFET, such as
the FDS6298 from Fairchild. The RDSON of the FDS6298 at a 4.5 V
driver voltage is 9.4 mΩ, and the total gate charge at 5 V is 10 nC.

For better load transient and stability performance, set the cross
frequency, fC, at fSW/10. In this case, fC = 1/500 kHz = 50 kHz.

CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS
Good circuit board layout is essential for obtaining the best
performance from the ADP2380. Poor printed circuit board
(PCB) layout degrades the output regulation as well as the
electromagnetic interface (EMI) and electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) performance. Figure 38 shows a PCB
layout example. For optimum layout, use the following guidelines:
•
•
•
Use separate analog ground and power ground planes.
Connect the ground reference of sensitive analog circuitry,
such as output voltage divider components, to analog
ground. In addition, connect the ground reference of
power components, such as input and output capacitors
and a low-side MOSFET, to power ground. Connect both
ground planes to the exposed pad of the ADP2380.
Place the input capacitor, inductor, low-side MOSFET, and
output capacitor as close to the IC as possible, and use
short traces.
Ensure that the high current loop traces are as short and
as wide as possible. Make the high current path from the
input capacitor through the inductor, the output capacitor,
and the power ground plane back to the input capacitor as
short as possible. To accomplish this, ensure that the input
and output capacitors share a common power ground plane.

•
In addition, ensure that the high current path from the
power ground plane through the external MOSFET,
inductor, and output capacitor back to the power ground
plane is as short as possible by tying the MOSFET source
node to the PGND plane as close as possible to the input
and output capacitors.
Make the low-side driver path from the LD pin of the
ADP2380 to the external MOSFET gate node and back to
the PGND pin of the ADP2380 as short as possible, and
use a wide trace for better noise immunity.
Connect the exposed pad of the ADP2380 to a large copper
plane to maximize its power dissipation capability for
better thermal dissipation.
Place the feedback resistor divider network as close as
possible to the FB pin to prevent noise pickup. Try to
minimize the length of the trace that connects the top of
the feedback resistor divider to the output while keeping
the trace away from the high current traces and the
switching node to avoid noise pickup. To further reduce
noise pickup, place an analog ground plane on either side
of the FB trace and ensure that the trace is as short as
possible to reduce parasitic capacitance pickup.
