It operates with input voltages between 2.7 V and 5.5 V, regulates an output voltage down to 0.8 V, and supplies more than 500 mA of load current. The ADP3051 features patented Tri-Mode technology to operate in fixed frequency PWM mode at medium to heavy loads. This improves light-load efficiency by smoothly transitioning into a variable frequency PWM mode, and into a single-pulse, current-limited variable frequency mode at very light loads. COMP, which sets inductor peak current. The error amplifier, and thus the output voltage, controls the inductor peak current to regulate the output voltage. An internally generated slope compensation circuit ensures that the inner current control loop maintains stable operation over the entire input and output voltage range. TRI-MODE OPERATION The ADP3051 features patented Tri-Mode technology which allows fixed-frequency, current mode, PWM operation at medium and heavy loads; smoothly transitions to variable frequency PWM operation to improve light-load efficiency; and operates in a single-pulse, current-limited variable frequency mode at very light loads. These three modes work together to provide high efficiency over a wide range of load current conditions without the frequency jitter, increased output voltage ripple, and audible noise generation exhibited by other lightload control schemes. PWM CONTROL MODE At moderate to high output currents, the ADP3051 operates in a fixed frequency, peak current control mode to regulate the output voltage. At the beginning of each cycle, the P-channel output switch turns on and remains on until the inductor current exceeds the threshold set by the voltage at COMP. When the P-channel switch turns off, the N-channel synchronous rectifier turns on for the remainder of the cycle, after which the cycle repeats. The ADP3051’s internal oscillator is a key component of its Tri-Mode operation. Under medium-heavy load conditions, the oscillator operates at a constant 550 kHz. Under light-load conditions, the oscillator frequency is decreased to minimize switching losses, thus improving light-load efficiency. At very light loads, the oscillator is disabled and the ADP3051 switches only as required to supply the load current for good light-load efficiency. In current mode, two cascaded control loops combine to regulate the output voltage. The outer voltage control loop senses the voltage at FB and compares it to the internal 0.8 V reference. The internal transconductance amplifier forces a current at COMP proportional to the voltage difference between the reference and FB. By selecting the components between COMP and GND, the frequency characteristics of the control system give a stable regulation system. In addition to Tri-Mode operation, the ADP3051 operates in the 200 kHz frequency foldback mode when the voltage at FB is below 0.3 V for enhanced control of the inductor current under short-circuit and startup conditions. See the Short-Circuit Protection and Recovery section. The inner peak-current control loop monitors the current flowing through the P-channel MOSFET and converts that to a voltage.

Simplified Block Diagram Rev. 0 | Page 9 of 16 2 PGND 04768-0-016 gm ADP3051 100% DUTY CYCLE OPERATION UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT (UVLO) The ADP3051 is capable of operating at 100% duty cycle, allowing it to regulate output voltages that are very close to the input voltage. In 100% duty cycle operation, the P-channel switch remains continuously on, and the dropout voltage is simply the output current multiplied by the on resistance of the internal switch and inductor, typically 200 mV at full loads (500 mA). The ADP3051 includes an internal undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit that turns off the converter if the input voltage drops below the 2.2 V UVLO threshold. This prevents uncontrolled behavior if the input voltage drops below the 2.7 V minimum allowable voltage range. The UVLO circuit includes 55mV of hysteresis to prevent oscillation at the UVLO threshold. SHUTDOWN The ADP3051 is enabled and disabled via its SHDN input. SHDN easily interfaces to open-drain and three-state logic GPIOs. To enable the ADP3051, drive SHDN to within 0.5 V of the voltage at IN; to disable the ADP3051, drive SHDN below 0.4 V. The circuit of Figure 18 shows a simple means of driving SHDN to the proper high and low input states in cases where no open-drain or three-state GPIO is available. SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION AND RECOVERY When starting up or when the output is short circuited, the low voltage drop across the synchronous rectifier may allow the inductor current to run away because it rises more during the on time than it falls during the off time. To protect against this, the ADP3051 automatically initiates a frequency foldback operation when the voltage at FB drops below 0.3 V, allowing the ADP3051 to maintain control of the inductor current under these conditions. IN When operating at higher input voltages (for example, from a 5 V bus), the ADP3051 may exhibit output voltage overshoot upon startup or after release of an overload condition (see Figure 9). In such cases, the ADP3051’s limited COMP slew rate can slow its recovery as the output approaches regulation, allowing the output voltage to overshoot. If overshoot cannot be tolerated in an application, the COMP voltage can be limited by placing a Zener diode from COMP to GND, as shown in Figure 19. 100kΩ SHDN ADP3051 04768-0-017 SHDN CONTROL COMP 6 Figure 18.

The inductor ripple current is determined by ∆I L = VOUT × (VIN − VOUT ) VIN × f SW × L Where ∆IL is the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current and fSW is the switching frequency. As a guideline, the inductor peak-topeak current ripple is typically set to be one-third the maximum dc load current. Using this guideline and solving for L, 3 × VOUT × (VIN − VOUT ) L= VIN × f SW × I LOAD ( MAX ) Simplifying for the known constants L = 5 μH × VOUT × (VIN − VOUT ) VIN × I LOAD( MAX ) ⎛ ∆I ⎞ I LPK = I LOAD ( MAX ) + ⎜ L ⎟ ⎝ 2 ⎠ VOUT 320 mA / μs The output capacitor should be chosen to meet output voltage ripple requirements for the application. Output voltage ripple is a function of the inductor ripple current and the impedance of the output capacitor at the switching frequency. The magnitude of the capacitive impedance is 1 2π × COUT × f SW ∆I L 8 f SW ∆VOUT Multilayer ceramic (MLC), tantalum, OS-CON, or similar low ESR capacitors are recommended. Table 5 lists some vendors that make suitable capacitors. Manufacturer AVX Murata Sanyo Taiyo-Yuden Capacitor Type Tantalum MLCC OS-CON MLCC Contact Info www.avxcorp.com www.murata.com www.sanyovideo.com www.t-yuden.com The input capacitor reduces input voltage ripple caused by switch currents. Select an input capacitor capable of withstanding the rms input current I CIN ( RMS ) ≥ I LOAD( MAX ) VOUT (VIN − VOUT ) VIN Compensation Design The ADP3051’s external compensation network allows designers to easily optimize the part’s performance for a particular application with just a series RC network (RC and C1 of Figure 21) from COMP to GND typically required to compensate the regulator. The dc loop gain is given by the equation For capacitors with relatively large capacitance or high equivalent series resistance (ESR), e.g., tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, the ESR dominates the impedance at the switching frequency; therefore, the output ripple voltage is mainly a function of ESR. In this case, the output capacitor should be chosen based on the ESR by the equation VRIPPLE ∆I L C OUT ≥ Where ICIN(RMS) is the rms ripple rating of the input capacitor. As with the output capacitor, a low ESR capacitor is recommended to help to minimize input voltage ripple. OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION ESRCOUT ≤ (2π × f SW )2 × L × VRIPPLE Input Capacitor Selection Finally, the ADP3051’s internal slope compensation is designed to ensure stability of the inner current mode control loop when the inductor is chosen so that the down-slope of the inductor current is less than 320 mA/µs X COUT = VIN COUT ≥ Table 5. Capacitor Suppliers It is important to ensure that the inductor is capable of handling the maximum peak inductor current, ILPK, determined by L≥ Where VRIPPLE is the peak-to-peak output ripple voltage and ESRCOUT is the output capacitor ESR. For capacitors with relatively small capacitance and/or resistance, the capacitance dominates the output voltage ripple. In this case, choose the output capacitor by the capacitance using the equation AVDC = VFB × G EA × ROEA × RLOAD VOUT × RCS where: VFB is the feedback voltage regulation threshold, 0.8 V. GEA is the error amplifier transconductance, 320 µs. ROEA is the error amplifier output impedance (10 MΩ). RCS is the 2.9 Ω current sense gain. RLOAD is the equivalent output resistance, equal to the output voltage divided by the load current. Rev. 0 | Page 12 of 16 ADP3051 The system has three poles and a zero that dominate its frequency response. The first compensation pole is given by f PC1 = CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS A good circuit board layout aids in extracting the most performance from the ADP3051. Poor circuit layout degrades the output ripple and the electromagnetic interference (EMI) or electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance. 1 2π × ROEA × C1 The output pole is given by f POUT = The evaluation board layout of Figure 24 is optimized for the ADP3051. Use this layout for best performance. If this layout needs changing, use the following guidelines: 1 2π × RLOAD × COUT If used, the optional second compensation pole is given by f PC 2 = 1. Use separate analog and power ground planes. Connect the sensitive analog circuitry (such as compensation and voltage divider components) to analog ground; connect the power components (such as input and output bypass capacitors) to power ground. Connect the two ground planes together near the load to reduce the effects of voltage dropped on circuit board traces. 2. Locate CIN as close to the IN pin as possible, and use separate input bypass capacitors for the analog and power grounds indicated in Guideline 1. 3. Route the high current path from CIN, through L, to the SW and PGND pins as short as possible. 4. Route the high current path from CIN through L and COUT as short as possible. 5. Keep high current traces as short and as wide as possible. 6. Place the feedback resistors as close as possible to the FB pin to prevent noise pickup. 7. Place the compensation components as close as possible to the COMP pin. 8. Avoid routing high impedance traces, such as FB and COMP, near the high current traces and components or near the switch node (SW). 9. If high impedance traces are routed near high current and/or the SW node, place a ground plane shield between the traces. 1 2π × RC × C 2 Finally, the zero can be calculated as f ZC = 1 2π × RC × C1 Note that the dc loop gain is the inverse of the output load current, while the output pole, fPOUT, is proportional to the load current. Thus, the crossover frequency, which is proportional to the product of the dc loop gain and the output pole frequency, remains the same. To choose the compensation components, first choose the regulator loop crossover frequency (the frequency where the loop gain drops to 1 V/V or 0 dB). To determine the desired crossover frequency, chose it for about one-tenth of the switching frequency or 60 kHz. The required compensation resistor, RC, can be determined from the equation RC = 2π × f C × VOUT × RCS × COUT VREF × G EA Where fC is the crossover frequency. To make sure the phase margin is suitable, choose the first compensation capacitor to set the zero frequency to one-fourth the crossover frequency, or C1 = 4 2π × f C × RC An optional second compensation capacitor reduces the high frequency gain to reduce the high frequency noise. If used, choose the second compensation capacitor to set the second compensation pole to the switching frequency, or C2 = 1 2π × f SW × RC Rev. 0 | Page 13 of 16 04768-0-024 04768-0-025 ADP3051 Figure 24.
