ADP2127 0.22 mm Maximum Height Solution GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ADP2126/ADP2127 are high frequency, step-down, dc-todc converters optimized for portable applications in which board area and battery life are critical constraints. The fixed 6 MHz operating frequency enables the use of tiny ceramic inductors and capacitors and the regulators use spread spectrum frequency modulation to reduce EMI. Additionally, synchronous rectification improves efficiency and results in fewer external components. At high load currents, the ADP2126/ADP2127 use a voltage regulating pulse-width modulation (PWM) mode that maintains a constant frequency with excellent stability and transient response. Light load operation is determined by the state of the MODE pin. In forced PWM mode, the converter continues operating in PWM for light loads. Under light load conditions in auto mode, the ADP2126/ADP2127 automatically enter a power-saving mode, which uses pulse frequency modulation (PFM) to reduce the effective switching frequency, thus ensuring the longest battery life in portable applications. The ADP2126/ADP2127 are enabled by a 6 MHz to 27 MHz external clock signal applied to the EXTCLK pin. Certain models can also be enabled with a logic high signal. When the external clock is not switching and in a low logic state, the ADP2126/ADP2127 stop regulating and shut down to draw less than 0.3 μA (typical) from the source. The ADP2126/ADP2127 have an input voltage range of 2.1 V to 5.5 V, allowing the use of single Li+/Li polymer cell, three-cell alkaline, NiMH cell, and other standard power sources. The ADP2126/ADP2127 are internally compensated to minimize external components and can source up to 500 mA. Other key features, such as cycle-by-cycle peak current limit, soft start, undervoltage lockout (UVLO), output-to-ground short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown provide protection for internal and external circuit components.

TJ is calculated using the following formula: TJ = TA + (PD × θJA) (1) See the Applications Information section for further information on calculating the operating junction temperature for a specific application. JEDEC J-STD-020 The maximum operating junction temperature (TJ (MAX)) supersedes the maximum operating ambient temperature (TA (MAX)). See the Thermal Considerations section for more information. THERMAL RESISTANCE Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. θJA of the package is based on modeling and calculation using a 4-layer board. θJA is highly dependent on the application and board layout. In applications where high maximum power dissipation exists, attention to thermal board design is required. The value of θJA may vary, depending on PCB material, layout, and environmental conditions. Absolute maximum ratings apply individually only, not in combination. θJA is specified for worst-case conditions, that is, a device soldered on a circuit board for surface-mount packages. θJA is determined according to JEDEC Standard JESD51-9 on a 4-layer printed circuit board (PCB).

Figure 29. Internal Block Diagram OVERVIEW EXTERNAL CLOCK (EXTCLK) ENABLE The ADP2126/ADP2127 are high efficiency, synchronous, stepdown, dc-to-dc regulators that operate from a 2.1 V to 5.5 V input voltage. They provide up to 500 mA of continuous output current at a fixed output voltage. The 6 MHz operating frequency enables the use of tiny external components. External control for mode selection provides a power-saving option. The internal control schemes of the ADP2126/ADP2127 give excellent stability and transient response. Other internal features, such as cycle-by-cycle peak current limit, soft start, undervoltage lockout, output-to-ground short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown provide protection for internal circuit components. The ADP2126/ADP2127 are enabled by a 6 MHz to 27 MHz external clock signal applied to the EXTCLK pin. Certain models can also be enabled with a logic high signal (see Figure 3, Figure 4, and Figure 29). When the ADP2126/ ADP2127 are enabled, the converter is able to power up, and the output voltage rises to its nominal value. When the external clock is not switching and in a low logic state, the ADP2126/ADP2127 stop regulating and shut down to draw less than 0.3 μA (typical) from the source. Rev. A | Page 11 of 20 ADP2126/ADP2127 SPREAD SPECTRUM OSCILLATOR The ADP2126/ADP2127 incorporate spread spectrum functionality to modulate electromagnetic interference (EMI) for EMI sensitive applications. A typical switching converter with a regulated switching frequency has a narrow frequency spectrum centered at the target switching frequency. This results in a high spectral density around the target frequency with peak emission levels that can exceed the regulatory levels for EMI in many portable, cellular, and wireless applications. To maintain acceptable levels of EMI, the ADP2126/ADP2127 employs spread spectrum via a controlled variance of the switching frequency over a wider band of frequencies. Figure 26 shows the variance of the frequency over time. This distribution of the frequency content spreads the spectral density over a wider bandwidth, resulting in lower peak emission levels. MODE SELECTION The ADP2126/ADP2127 have two modes of operation (PWM mode and auto mode), determined by the state of the MODE pin. Pull the MODE pin high to force the converter to operate in PWM mode, regardless of the output current. Otherwise, set MODE low to put the converter into auto mode and allow the converter to automatically transition from PWM mode to the power-saving PFM mode at light load currents. Do not leave this pin floating. Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) Mode The PWM mode forces the part to maintain a fixed frequency of 6 MHz (maximum) under all load conditions. The ADP2126/ ADP2127 use a proprietary, hybrid voltage-mode control scheme to control the duty cycle under all load current and line voltage variations. This control scheme provides excellent stability, transient response, and output regulation. PWM mode results in lower efficiencies at light load currents. Auto Mode (PFM and PWM Switching) Auto mode is a power-saving feature that enables the converter to switch between PWM and PFM in response to the output load. Auto mode is enabled when the MODE pin is pulled low. In auto mode, the ADP2126/ADP2127 operate in PFM mode for light load currents and switch to PWM mode for medium and heavy load currents. 35BPulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) Mode When the converter is operating under light load conditions, the effective switching frequency and supply current are decreased and varied using PFM to regulate the output voltage. This results in improved efficiencies and lower quiescent currents. In PFM mode, the converter only switches when necessary to keep the output voltage within the PFM limits set by an internal comparator. Switching stops when the upper limit is reached and resumes when the lower limit is reached. When the upper level is reached, the output stage and most control circuitry turn off to reduce the quiescent current. During this stage, the output capacitor supplies the current to the load. As the output capacitor discharges and the output voltage reaches the lower PFM comparator threshold, switching resumes and the process repeats. Mode Transition When the MODE pin is low, the converter switches between PFM and PWM modes automatically to maintain optimal transient response and efficiency. The mode transition point depends on the input voltage. Hysteresis exists in the transition point to prevent instability and decreased efficiencies that could result if the converter were able to oscillate between PFM and PWM for a fixed input voltage and load current. See Figure 10 for the typical PFM and PWM mode boundaries of the ADP2126/ADP2127. A switch from PFM to PWM occurs when the output voltage dips below the nominal value of the output voltage option. Switching to PWM allows the converter to maintain efficiency and supply a larger current to the load. The output voltage in PFM mode is slightly higher to keep the ADP2126/ADP2127 from oscillating between modes, ensuring stable operation. The switch from PWM to PFM occurs when the output current is below the PFM threshold for multiple consecutive switching cycles. Switching to PFM allows the converter to save power by supplying the lighter load current with fewer switching cycles. INTERNAL CONTROL FEATURES Synchronous Rectification In addition to the P-channel MOSFET switch, the ADP2126/ ADP2127 include an N-channel MOSFET switch to build the synchronous rectifier. The synchronous rectifier improves efficiency, especially for small load currents, and reduces cost and board space by eliminating the need for an external rectifier. Soft Start To prevent excessive input inrush current at startup, the ADP2126/ ADP2127 operate with an internal soft start. When EXTCLK begins to oscillate, or when the part recovers from a fault (UVLO, TSD, or SCP), a soft start timer begins. During this time, the peak current limit is gradually increased to its maximum. The output voltage increases in stages to ensure that the converter is able to start up effectively and in proper sequence. After the soft start period expires, the peak PMOS switch current limit remains at 1 A (typical), and the part begins normal operation. Rev. A | Page 12 of 20 ADP2126/ADP2127 PROTECTION FEATURES Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) Overcurrent Protection If the input voltage is below the UVLO threshold, the ADP2126/ ADP2127 automatically turn off the power switches and place the parts in a low power consumption mode. This prevents potentially erratic operation at low input voltages. The UVLO levels have approximately 100 mV of hysteresis to ensure glitch-free startup. Output Short-Circuit Protection (SCP) If the output voltage is shorted to GND, a standard dc-to-dc controller delivers maximum power into that short. This may result in a potentially catastrophic failure. To prevent this, the ADP2126/ADP2127 sense when the output voltage is below the SCP threshold (typically 0.52 V). At this point, the controller turns off for approximately 450 μs and then automatically initiates a soft start sequence. This cycle repeats until the short is removed or the part is disabled. Figure 17 shows the operating behavior of the ADP2126/ADP2127 during a short-circuit fault. The SCP dramatically reduces the power delivered into the short circuit, yet still allows the converter to recover when the fault is removed. TIMING CONSTRAINTS Shutdown Time When the ADP2126/ADP2127 enter shutdown mode after the EXTCLK signal is removed, the ADP2126/ADP2127 must remain in shutdown mode for a minimum of 1400 μs, if no load is applied, before the EXTCLK signal can be reapplied. This allows all internal nodes to discharge to an off state. Power-Off Time When VIN drops, thereby triggering UVLO, the ADP2126/ ADP2127 have a minimum power-off time (t7) of 500 μs that must elapse before VIN can be reapplied. This allows all internal nodes to discharge enough power so that all internal devices are in an off state. Thermal Shutdown (TSD) Protection The ADP2126/ADP2127 also include TSD protection when the part is in PWM mode only. If the die temperature exceeds 146°C (typical), the TSD protection activates and turns off both MOSFET power devices. They remain off until the die temperature falls to 133°C (typical), at which point the regulator restarts. Rev. A | Page 13 of 20 t7 VIN × 10% Figure 30. Power-Off Time 09658-030 To ensure that excessively high currents do not damage the MOSFET switches, the ADP2126/ADP2127 incorporate cycle-bycycle overcurrent protection. This function is accomplished by monitoring the instantaneous peak current on the power PMOS switch. If this current exceeds the PMOS switch current limit (1 A typical), then the PMOS is immediately turned off. This minimizes the potential for damage to power components during certain faults and transient events. ADP2126/ADP2127 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The low-profile ADP2126/ADP2127 are compatible with chip inductors and multilayer ceramic capacitors that are ideal for use in portable applications due to their small footprint and low height. The recommended components for low-profile applications may change as this technology advances. Table 5 and Table 6 list compatible inductors and capacitors. This section describes the selection of external components. The component value ranges are limited to optimize efficiency and transient performance while maintaining stability over the full operating range. (3) The dc current rating of the inductor should be greater than the calculated IPK to prevent core saturation. The input capacitor must be rated to support the maximum input operating voltage. Higher value input capacitors reduce the input voltage ripple caused by the switch currents on the VIN pin. Maximum rms input current for the application is calculated using The high switching frequency of the ADP2126/ADP2127 allows for minimal output voltage ripple, even with small inductors. Inductor sizing is a trade-off between efficiency and transient response. A small value inductor leads to a larger inductor current ripple, which provides excellent transient response but degrades efficiency. A small footprint and low height chip inductor can be used for an overall smaller solution size but has a higher dc resistance (DCR) value and lower current rating that can degrade performance. Shielded ferrite core inductors are advantageous for their low core losses and low electromagnetic interference (EMI). For optimal performance and stability, use inductor values between 1.5 μH and 0.5 μH. Recommended inductors are shown in Table 5. The inductor peak-to-peak current ripple, ΔIL, is calculated from VOUT × (V IN − VOUT ) V IN × L × f SW IPK = ILOAD(MAX) + ΔIL/2 INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION INDUCTOR SELECTION ΔI L = It is important that the minimum dc current rating of the inductor be greater than the peak inductor current (IPK) in the application. IPK is calculated from (2) I RMS _ MAX (CIN ) = I LOAD ( MAX ) × VOUT × (V IN − VOUT ) V IN (4) Place the input capacitor as close as possible to the VIN pin to minimize supply noise. In principle, different types of capacitors can be considered, but for battery-powered applications, the best choice is the multilayer ceramic capacitor, due to its small size, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and low equivalent series inductance (ESL). It is recommended that the VIN pin be bypassed with at least a 2.2 μF input capacitor. For a 0.22 mm height solution using the ADP2127, at least 2 × 1.0 μF capacitors will be necessary on the input. The input capacitor can be increased without any limit for better input voltage filtering. X5R or X7R dielectrics with a voltage rating of 6.3 V or higher are recommended. where: fSW is the switching frequency. L is the inductor value. Table 5.

A | Page 14 of 20 ADP2126/ADP2127 OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION The output capacitor selection affects both the output voltage ripple and the loop dynamics of the converter. For a given loop crossover frequency (the frequency at which the loop gain drops to 0 dB), the maximum voltage transient excursion (overshoot) is inversely proportional to the value of the output capacitor. When choosing output capacitors, it is important to account for the loss of capacitance due to output voltage dc bias. This may result in using a capacitor with a higher rated voltage to achieve the desired capacitance value. Additionally, if ceramic output capacitors are used, the capacitor’s rms ripple current rating should always meet or exceed the application requirements. The rms ripple current is calculated from I RMS (COUT ) = 1 2 3 × ( VOUT × V IN ( MAX ) − VOUT ) (5) L × f SW × V IN ( MAX ) At nominal load currents, the converter operates in forced PWM mode, and the overall output voltage ripple is the sum of the voltage spike caused by the output capacitor ESR plus the voltage ripple caused by charging and discharging the output capacitor. ΔVOUT = ΔIL × (ESR + 1/(8 × COUT × fSW)) (6) The power dissipation (PD) of the ADP2126/ADP2127 is only a portion of the power loss of the overall application. For a given application with known operating conditions, the application power loss is calculated by combining the following equations for power loss (PLOSS) and efficiency (η): PLOSS = PIN − POUT η= ⎛ 100 ⎞ PLOSS = POUT ⎜⎜ − 1⎟⎟ ⎠ ⎝ η The operating junction temperature (TJ) of the device is dependent on the ambient operating temperature (TA) of the application, the power dissipation of the ADP2126/ADP2127 (PD), and the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the package (θJA). The operating junction temperature (TJ) is calculated from (9) (10) The power loss calculated using this approach is the combined loss of the ADP2126/ADP2127 device (PD), the inductor (PL), input capacitor (PCIN), and the output capacitor (PCOUT), as shown in the following equation: PLOSS = PD + PL + PCIN + PCOUT (11) The power loss for the inductor, input capacitor, and output capacitor is calculated using (12) 2 ⎛I ⎞ PCIN = ⎜ RMS ⎟ × ESR CIN ⎝ 2 ⎠ (13) PCOUT = (ΔIOUT)2 × ESRCOUT (14) If multilayer chip capacitors with low ESR are used, the power loss in the input and output capacitors is negligible and THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS PD + PL >> PCIN + PCOUT (15) PLOSS ≈ PD + PL (16) The final equation for calculating PD can be used in Equation 7 to ensure that the operating junction temperature is not exceeded. ⎛ 100 ⎞ PD ≈ PLOSS − PL ≈ POUT ⎜⎜ − 1⎟⎟ − PL ⎝ η ⎠ (7) where θJA is 105°C/W, as provided in Table 3. The ADP2126/ADP2127 may be damaged when the operating junction temperature limits are exceeded. Monitoring ambient temperature does not guarantee that the junction temperature (TJ) is within the specified temperature limits. • × 100 PL = IRMS2 × DCR The ADP2126/ADP2127 are designed to operate with one small 2.2 μF capacitor. For a 0.22 mm height solution using the ADP2127, at least 2 × 1.0 μF capacitors will be necessary on the output. X5R or X7R dielectrics that have low ESR, low ESL, and a voltage rating of 4 V or higher are recommended. These low ESR components help the ADP2126/ADP2127 meet tight output voltage ripple specifications. • PIN The resulting equation uses the output power and the efficiency to determine the PLOSS. The largest voltage ripple occurs at the highest input voltage. TJ = TA + (PD × θJA) POUT (8) In applications with high PD and poor PCB thermal resistance, the maximum ambient temperature may need to be derated. In applications with moderate PD and good PCB thermal resistance, the maximum ambient temperature can exceed the maximum limit as long as the junction temperature is within specification limits. Rev.

The BUMPED_CHIP device footprint must ultimately be determined according to application and customer specific reliability requirements, PCB fabrication quality, and PCB assembly capabilities. • 09658-031 • • Figure 31. ADP2126/ADP2127 Recommended Top Layer Layout • • • 09658-032 • Figure 32. ADP2126/ADP2127 Recommended Bottom Layer Layout For high efficiency, good regulation, and stability, a well-designed and manufactured PCB is required. Use the following guidelines when designing PCBs: • • • • Keep the low ESR input capacitor, CIN, close to VIN and GND. Keep high current traces as short and as wide as possible. Avoid routing high impedance traces near any node connected to SW or near the inductor to prevent radiated noise injection. Keep the low ESR output capacitor, COUT, close to the FB and GND pins of the ADP2126/ADP2127. Long trace lengths from the part to the output capacitor add series inductance that may cause instability or increased ripple. Rev. A | Page 16 of 20 The Cu pad on the PCB for each solder bump should be 80% to 100% of the width of the solder bump. A smaller pad opening favors solder joint reliability (SJR) performance, whereas a larger pad opening favors drop test performance. The maximum pad size, including tolerance, should not exceed 180 μm. Electroplated nickel, immersion gold (ENIG) and organic solderability preservative (OSP) were used for internal reliability testing and are recommended. Nonsolder mask defined (NSMD) Cu pads are recommended for the BUMPED_CHIP package. The solder mask opening should be approximately 100 μm larger than the pad opening. The trace width should be less than two-thirds the size of the pad opening. The routing of traces from the Cu pads should be symmetrical in X and Y directions. Symmetrical routing of the traces prevents part rotation due to uneven solder wetting/surface tension forces. Stencil design is important for proper transfer of paste onto the Cu pads. Area ratio (AR), the relationship between the surface area of the stencil aperture and the inside surface area of the aperture walls, is critically important. Stencil thickness has the greatest impact on this ratio. AR values from 0.66 to 0.8 provide the best paste transfer efficiency and repeatability. The AR is calculated from Ap AR = Aw where: Ap is the area of the aperture opening. Aw is the wall area.
