AD ADP2323

Dual 3 A, 20 V Synchronous Step-Down
Regulator with Integrated High-Side MOSFET
ADP2323
Data Sheet
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP2323 is a full featured, dual output, step-down dc-todc regulator based on current-mode architecture. The ADP2323
integrates two high-side power MOSFETs and two low-side drivers
for the external N-channel MOSFETs. The two pulse-width modulation (PWM) channels can be configured to deliver dual 3 A
outputs or a parallel-to-single 6 A output. The regulator operates
from input voltages of 4.5 V to 20 V, and the output voltage can
be as low as 0.6 V.
The switching frequency can be programmed between 250 kHz
and 1.2 MHz, or synchronized to an external clock to minimize
interference in multirail applications. The dual PWM channels
run 180° out of phase, thereby reducing input current ripple as
well as reducing the size of the input capacitor.
The bidirectional synchronization pin can be programmed at
a 60°, 90°, or 120° phase shift, providing the possibility for a
stackable multiphase power solution.
The ADP2323 can be set to operate in pulse-frequency modulation
(PFM) mode at a light load for higher efficiency or in forced
PWM for noise sensitive applications. External compensation
and soft start provide design flexibility. Independent enable

Description
Power-Good Output (Open Drain) for Channel 1. A pull-up resistor of 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ is recommended.
Synchronization Configuration Input. The SCFG pin configures the SYNC pin as an input or output. Connect
SCFG to INTVCC to configure SYNC as an output. Using a resistor to pull down to GND configures SYNC as an
input with various phase shift degrees.
Synchronization. This pin can be configured as an input or an output. When configured as an output, it
provides a clock at the switching frequency. When configured as an input, this pin accepts an external clock
to which the regulators are synchronized and the phase shift is configured by SCFG. Note that when SYNC is
configured as an input, the PFM mode is disabled and the device works only in continuous conduction mode
(CCM).
Analog Ground. Connect to the ground plane.
Internal 5 V Regulator Output. The IC control circuits are powered from this voltage. Place a 1 μF ceramic
capacitor between INTVCC and GND.
Connect a resistor between RT and GND to program the switching frequency between 250 kHz and 1.2 MHz.
Mode Selection. When this pin is connected to INTVCC, the PFM mode is disabled and the regulator works
only in CCM. When this pin is connected to ground, the PFM mode is enabled. If the low-side device is a
diode, the MODE pin must be connected to ground.
Power-Good Output (Open Drain) for Channel 2. A pull-up resistor of 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ is recommended.
Feedback Voltage Sense Input for Channel 2. Connect to a resistor divider from the Channel 2 output voltage,
VOUT2. Connect FB2 to INTVCC for parallel applications.
Error Amplifier Output for Channel 2. Connect an RC network from COMP2 to GND. Connect COMP1 and
COMP2 together for parallel applications.
Soft Start Control for Channel 2. Connect a capacitor from SS2 to GND to program the soft start time. For
parallel applications, SS2 remains open.
Tracking Input for Channel 2. To track a master voltage, drive this pin from a voltage divider from the master
voltage. If the tracking function is not used, connect TRK2 to INTVCC.
Enable Pin for Channel 2. An external resistor divider can be used to set the turn-on threshold. When not
using the enable pin, connect EN2 to PVIN2.
Power Input for Channel 2. Connect PVIN2 to the input power source, and connect a bypass capacitor
between PVIN2 and ground.
Switch Node for Channel 2.
Supply Rail for the Gate Drive of Channel 2. Place a 0.1 μF capacitor between SW2 and BST2.
Low-Side Gate Driver Output for Channel 2. Connect a resistor between DL2 and PGND to program the
current-limit threshold of Channel 2.
Low-Side Driver Supply Input. Connect VDRV to INTVCC. Place a 1 μF ceramic capacitor between the VDRV
pin and PGND.
Driver Power Ground. Connect to the source of the synchronous N-channel MOSFET.
Low-Side Gate Driver Output for Channel 1. Connect a resistor between this pin and PGND to program the
current-limit threshold of Channel 1.

ADP2323
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADP2323 is a full featured, dual output, step-down dc-todc regulator based on current-mode architecture. It integrates two
high-side power MOSFETs and two low-side drivers for
external MOSFETs. The ADP2323 targets high performance
applications that require high efficiency and design flexibility.
The ADP2323 can operate with an input voltage from 4.5 V to
20 V, and can regulate the output voltage down to 0.6 V.
Additional features for flexible design include programmable
switching frequency, programmable soft start, external compensation, independent enable inputs, and power good outputs.
CONTROL SCHEME
The ADP2323 uses a fixed frequency, current-mode PWM
control architecture during medium to full loads, but shifts to a
power save mode (PFM) at light loads when the PFM mode is
enabled. The power save mode reduces switching losses and
boosts efficiency under light loads. When operating in the fixed
frequency PWM mode, the duty cycle of the integrated Nchannel MOSFET (referred to interchangeably as NFET or
MOSFET) is adjusted, which, in turn, regulates the output
voltage. When operating in power save mode, the switching
frequency is adjusted to regulate the output voltage.
PWM MODE
In PWM mode, the ADP2323 operates at a fixed frequency that
is set by an external resistor. At the start of each oscillator cycle, the
high-side NFET turns on, placing a positive voltage across the
inductor. The inductor current increases until the current sense
signal crosses the peak inductor current threshold that turns off
the high-side NFET and turns on the low-side NFET (diode). This
places a negative voltage across the inductor causing the
inductor current to reduce. The low-side NFET (diode) stays on
for the remainder of the cycle or until the inductor current reaches
zero.
PRECISION ENABLE/SHUTDOWN
The ADP2323 has two independent enable pins (EN1 and EN2)
for each channel. The ENx pin has an internal pull-down
current source (5 µA) that provides default turn off when an
ENx pin is open.
When the voltage on the EN1 or EN2 pin exceeds 1.2 V
(typical), Channel 1 or Channel 2 is enabled and the internal
pull-down current source at the EN1 or EN2 pin is reduced to 1
µA, which allows the user to program the input voltage
undervoltage lockout (UVLO).
When the voltage on the EN1 or EN2 pin drops below 1.1 V
(typical), Channel 1 or Channel 2 turns off. When EN1 and
EN2 are both below 1.1 V, all of the internal circuits turn off
and the device enters the shutdown mode.
SEPARATE INPUT VOLTAGES
The ADP2323 supports two separate input voltages. This means
that the PVIN1 and PVIN2 voltages can be connected to two
different supply voltages. In these types of applications, the
PVIN1 voltage needs to be above the UVLO voltage before the
PVIN2 voltage begins to rise because the PVIN1voltage provides
the power supply for the internal regulator and control circuitry.
This feature makes it possible for a cascading supply operation as
shown in Figure 41, where PVIN2 is sourced from the Channel 1
output. In this configuration, the Channel 1 output voltage needs
to be high enough to maintain Channel 2 in regulation, and the
Channel 1 output voltage needs to be higher than the input
voltage UVLO threshold.
VIN
ADP2323
VOUT1
Pull the MODE pin to ground to enable the PFM mode. When
the COMPx voltage is below the PFM threshold voltage, the
device enters the PFM mode.
When the device enters the PFM mode, it monitors the FBx
voltage to regulate the output voltage. Because the high-side and
low-side NFETs are turned off, the output voltage drops due to
the load current discharging the output capacitor. When the FBx
voltage drops below 0.605 V, the device starts switching and the
output voltage increases as the output capacitor is charged by the
inductor current. When the FBx voltage exceeds 0.62 V, the device
turns off both the high-side and low-side NFETs until the FBx
voltage drops to 0.605 V. In the PFM mode, the output voltage
ripple is larger than the ripple in the PWM mode.

INTERNAL REGULATOR (INTVCC)
The internal regulator provides a stable voltage supply for the
internal control circuits and bias voltage for the low-side gate
drivers. A 1 µF ceramic capacitor is recommended to be placed
between INTVCC and GND. The internal regulator also
includes a current-limit circuit for protection.
The internal regulator is active when either one of the channels is
enabled. The PVIN1 pin provides power for the internal
regulator that is used by both channels.

ADP2323
Data Sheet
BOOTSTRAP CIRCUITRY
The ADP2323 integrates the boot regulators to provide the gate
drive voltage for the high-side NFETs. The regulators generate 5
V bootstrap voltages between the BSTx pin and the SWx pin.
It is recommended that an X7R or an X5R, 0.1 µF ceramic
capacitor be placed between the BSTx and the SWx pins.
LOW-SIDE DRIVER
The DLx pin provides the gate drive for the low-side N-channel
MOSFET. Internal circuitry monitors the gate driver signal to
ensure break-before-make switching to prevent cross
conduction.
The VDRV pin provides the power supply to the low-side
drivers. It is limited to a 5.5 V maximum input, and placing
a 1 µF ceramic capacitor close to this pin is recommended.
OSCILLATOR
When the SYNC pin is configured as an output, it generates a
clock with a frequency that is equal to the internal switching
frequency.
When the SYNC pin is configured as an input, the ADP2323
synchronizes to the external clock that is applied to the SYNC pin,
and the internal clock must be programmed lower than the
external clock. The phase shift can be programmed by the SCFG
pin.
When working in synchronization mode, the ADP2323 disables
the PFM mode and works only in the CCM mode.
SOFT START
The SSx pins are used to program the soft start time. Place a
capacitor between SSx and GND; an internal current charges
this capacitor to establish the soft start ramp. The soft start time
can be calculated using the following equation:
TSS =
A resistor from RT to GND programs the switching frequency
according to the following equation:
fSW [kHz] =
60,000
ROSC [kΩ]
A 200 kΩ resistor sets the frequency to 300 kHz, and a 100 kΩ
resistor sets the frequency to 600 kHz. Figure 42 shows the
typical relationship between fSW and ROSC.
1200
I SS
where:
CSS is the soft start capacitance.
ISS is the soft start pull-up current (3.5 µA).
If the output voltage is precharged prior to power up, the
ADP2323 prevents the low-side MOSFET from turning on until
the soft start voltage exceeds the voltage on the FBx pin.
During soft start, the ADP2323 uses frequency foldback to
prevent output current runaway. The switching frequency is
reduced according to the voltage present at the FBx pin, which
allows more time for the inductor to discharge. The correlation
between the switching frequency and the FBx pin voltage is listed
in Table 6.

PEAK CURRENT-LIMIT AND SHORT-CIRCUIT
PROTECTION
The ADP2323 uses a peak current-limit protection circuit to
prevent current runaway. Place a resistor between DLx and
PGND to program the current-limit value listed in Table 7. The
programmable current-limit threshold feature allows for the use
of a small size inductor for low current applications.

ADP2323
The ADP2323 uses hiccup mode for overcurrent protection.
When the peak inductor current reaches the current-limit
threshold, the high-side MOSFET turns off and the low-side
driver turns on until the next cycle while the overcurrent
counter increments.
Ratiometric tracking is shown in Figure 45. The slave output is
limited to a fraction of the master voltage. In this application, the
slave and master voltages reach the final value at the same time.
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 device to enter the
hiccup mode. To avoid such cases, use a resistor divider at the
ENx pin to program the input voltage UVLO or use a longer
soft start time.
VOLTAGE TRACKING
The ADP2323 has a tracking input, TRKx, that allows the output
voltage to track an external (master) voltage. It allows power
sequencing applicable to FPGAs, DSPs, and ASICs, which may
require a power sequence between the core and the I/O voltages.
The internal error amplifier includes three positive inputs: the
internal reference voltage, the soft start voltage, and the tracking
input voltage. The error amplifier regulates the feedback voltage
to the lowest of the three voltages. To track a master voltage, tie the
TRKx pin to a resistor divider from the master voltage as shown
in Figure 43.

A common application is coincident tracking, which is shown in
Figure 44. Coincident tracking limits the slave output voltage to
be the same as the master voltage until it reaches regulation. For
coincident tracking, set RTRK_TOP = RTOP and RTRK_BOT = RBOT.

Connect the FB2 pin to INTVCC, thereby disabling the

Connect COMP1 to COMP2 and connect EN1 to EN2.
Use SS1 to set the soft start time and keep SS2 open.
During parallel operation, the voltages of PVIN1 and PVIN2
should be the same.
OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
The ADP2323 provides an overvoltage protection (OVP)
feature to protect the system against the output shorting to a
higher voltage supply or when a strong load transient occurs. If
the feedback voltage increases to 0.7 V, the internal high-side
MOSFET and low-side driver turn off until the voltage at the
FBx pin reduces to 0.63 V, at which time the ADP2323 resumes
normal operation.
09357-046
VSLAVE
The ratio of the slave output voltage to the master voltage is a
function of the two dividers, as follows:
The power good (PGOODx) pin is an active high, open drain
output that indicates if the regulator output voltage is within
regulation. High indicates that the voltage at an FBx pin (and,
hence, the output voltage) is above 90% of the reference voltage.
Low indicates that the voltage at an FBx pin (and, hence, the
output voltage) is below 85% of the reference voltage. There is a
16-cycle deglitch time between FBx and PGOODx.

If the overcurrent counter reaches 10, or the FBx pin voltage falls
to 0.51 V after the soft start, the device enters hiccup mode. During
this mode, the high-side MOSFET and low-side driver are both
turned off. The device remains in this mode for seven soft start
times and then attempts to restart from soft start. If the currentlimit fault is cleared, the device resumes normal operation;
otherwise, it reenters hiccup mode.

UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold is 4.2 V with 0.5 V
hysteresis to prevent the device from power-on glitches. When
the PVIN1 or PVIN2 voltage rises above 4.2 V, Channel 1 or
Channel 2 is enabled and the soft start period initiates. When either
PVIN1 or PVIN2 drops below 3.7 V, it turns off Channel 1 or
Channel 2, respectively.
In the event that the ADP2323 junction temperature exceeds
150°C, the thermal shutdown circuit turns off the regulator. A
15°C hysteresis is included so that the ADP2323 does not
recover from thermal shutdown until the on-chip temperature
drops below 135°C. Upon recovery, soft start is initiated prior to
normal operation.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
ADIsimPower DESIGN TOOL
VOLTAGE CONVERSION LIMITATIONS
The ADP2323 is supported by the ADIsimPower design tool
set. ADIsimPower is a collection of tools that produce complete
power designs optimized for a specific design goal. The tools
enable the user to generate a full schematic and bill of materials,
and calculate performance in minutes. ADIsimPower can
optimize designs for cost, area, efficiency, and parts count
while taking into consideration the operating conditions
and limitations of the IC and all real external components. For
more information about ADIsimPower design tools, refer to
www.analog.com/ADIsimPower. The tool set is available from
this website, and users can request an unpopulated board
through the tool.
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 ADP2323 is typically 130 ns. The
minimum output voltage in CCM mode at a given input voltage
and frequency can be calculated by using the following equation:
INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
The input decoupling capacitor attenuates high frequency noise
on the input and acts as an energy reservoir. This capacitor
should be a ceramic capacitor in the range of 10 µF to 47 µF and
must be placed close to the PVINx 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:
I C IN _ rms = I OUT × D × (1 − D )
VOUT_MIN = VIN × tMIN_ON × fSW − (RDSON1 − RDSON2) × IOUT_MIN ×
tMIN_ON × fSW − (RDSON2 + RL) × IOUT_MIN
where:
VOUT_MIN is the minimum output voltage.
tMIN_ON is the minimum on time.
IOUT_MIN is the minimum output current.
fSW is the switching frequency.
RDSON1 is the high-side MOSFET on resistance.
RDSON2 is the low-side MOSFET on resistance.
RL is the series resistance of output inductor.
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
150 ns and the maximum duty is typically 90% in the ADP2323.
The maximum output voltage that is limited by the minimum off
time at a given input voltage and frequency can be calculated
using the following equation:
VOUT_MAX = VIN × (1 – tMIN_OFF × fSW) – (RDSON1 – RDSON2) ×
IOUT_MAX × (1 – tMIN_OFF × fSW) – (RDSON2 + RL) × IOUT_MAX
OUTPUT VOLTAGE SETTING
The output voltage of the ADP2323 can be set by an external
resistive divider using the following equation:

R
VOUT = 0.6 × 1 + TOP
RBOT





The maximum output voltage limited by the maximum duty
cycle at a given input voltage can be calculated by using the
following equation:
To limit output voltage accuracy degradation due to FBx pin
bias current (0.1 µA maximum) to less than 0.5% (maximum),
ensure that RBOT is less than 30 kΩ.
VOUT_MAX = DMAX × VIN

where DMAX is the maximum duty.
As the previous equations show, reducing the switching frequency
alleviates the minimum on time and minimum off time
limitation.
CURRENT-LIMIT SETTING
The ADP2323 has three selectable current-limit thresholds.
Make sure that the selected current-limit value is larger than the
peak current of the inductor, IPEAK.

INDUCTOR SELECTION
Table 9. Recommended Inductors
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 a large
inductor value leads to smaller ripple current and better efficiency but results in a slower transient response. Thus, there is a
trade-off between the transient response and efficiency. As a
guideline, the inductor ripple current, ΔIL, is typically set to 1/3
of the maximum load current. The inductor value can be
calculated using the following equation:
L=

(VIN − VOUT ) × D
∆I L × f SW

Elektronik
where:
VIN is the input voltage.
VOUT is the output voltage.
ΔIL is the inductor ripple current.
fSW is the switching frequency.
D is the duty cycle.

The ADP2323 uses adaptive slope compensation in the current
loop to prevent subharmonic oscillations when the duty cycle is
larger than 50%. The internal slope compensation limits the
minimum inductor value.

The output capacitor selection affects both the output voltage
ripple and the loop dynamics of the regulator. For example,
during load step transient on the output, 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 an undershoot of the output voltage.
Use the following equation to calculate the output capacitance that
is required to meet the voltage droop requirement:
For a duty cycle that is larger than 50%, the minimum inductor
value is determined by the following equation:
VOUT × (1 − D )
2 × f SW
COUT _ UV =
K UV × ∆I STE P 2 × L
2 × (VIN − VOUT )× ∆VOUT _ UV
where:
ΔISTEP is the load step.
ΔVOUT_UV is the allowable undershoot on the output voltage.
KUV is a factor, typically setting KUV = 2.
The inductor peak current is calculated using the following
equation:
∆I L
2
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 should be higher than the current-limit threshold of the
switch to prevent the inductor from getting into saturation.
The rms current of the inductor can be calculated by the
following equation:

Another case is when a load is suddenly removed from the
output and the energy stored in the inductor rushes into the
output capacitor, which causes the output to overshoot. The
output capacitance required to meet the overshoot requirement
can be calculated using the following equation:
COUT _ OV =
K OV × ∆I STEP 2 × L
(VOUT + ∆VOUT _ OV ) 2 − VOUT 2
where:
ΔVOUT_OV is the allowable overshoot on the output voltage.
KOV is a factor, typically setting KOV = 2.

Shielded ferrite core materials are recommended for low core
loss and low EMI.
The output ripple is determined by the ESR of the output
capacitor and its capacitance value. Use the following equation to
select a capacitor that can meet the output ripple requirements:

performance.
The selected output capacitor voltage rating must be greater
than the output voltage. The minimum rms current rating of

PROGRAMMING UVLO INPUT
The precision enable input can be used to program the UVLO
threshold and hysteresis of the input voltage as shown in Figure 46.
LOW-SIDE POWER DEVICE SELECTION
PVINx
The ADP2323 has integrated low-side MOSFET drivers, which
can drive the low-side N-channel MOSFETs (NFETs). The
selection of the low-side N-channel MOSFET affects the dc-todc regulator performance.

The selected MOSFET must meet the following requirements:

Drain source voltage (VDS) must be higher than 1.2 × VIN.
Drain current (ID) must be greater than the 1.2 × ILIMIT_MAX,
where ILIMIT_MAX is the selected maximum current-limit
threshold.
Figure 46. Programming UVLO Input
Use the following equation to calculate RTOP_EN and RBOT_EN:
The ADP2323 low-side gate drive voltage is 5 V. Make sure that
the selected MOSFET can be fully turned on at 5 V.
RTOP _ EN =
Total gate charge (Qg at 5 V) must be less than 30 nC. Lower Qg
characteristics constitute higher efficiency.
RBOT _ EN =
When the high-side MOSFET is turned off, the low-side
MOSFET carries the inductor current. For low duty cycle
applications, the low-side MOSFET carries the current for most
of the period. To achieve higher efficiency, it is important to
select a low on-resistance MOSFET. The power conduction loss
for the low-side MOSFET can be calculated using the following
equation:
PFET_LOW = IOUT2 × RDSON × (1 − D)
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.
In some cases, efficiency is not critical for the system; therefore,
the diode can be selected as the low-side power device. The
average current of the diode can be calculated using the
following equation:
1.1 V × 5 μA − 1.2 V × 1 μA
1.2 V × RTOP _ EN
VIN _ RISING − RTOP _ EN × 5 μΑ − 1.2 V
COMPENSATION COMPONENTS DESIGN
For peak current-mode control, the power stage can be
simplified as a voltage controlled current source supplying
current to the output capacitor and load resistor. It is composed of
one domain pole and a zero contributed by the output capacitor
ESR. The control-to-output transfer function is shown in the
following equations:

VIN_RISING is the VIN rising threshold.
VIN_FALLING is the VIN falling threshold.
IDIODE (AVG) = (1 − D) × IOUT
The reverse breakdown voltage rating of the diode must be
greater than the input voltage with an appropriate margin to
allow for ringing, which may be present at the SWx node. A
Schottky diode is recommended because it has low forward
voltage drop and fast switching speed.

IOUT1 = 3 A
ΔVOUT1_RIPPLE = 12 mV
±5%, 0.5 A to 3A, 1 A/µs

For the 1.2 V rail, the peak inductor current is 3.49 A, and for
the 3.3 V rail, the peak inductor current is 3.51 A.
The rms current through the inductor can be estimated by
VIN2 = 12.0 V ± 10%
VOUT2 = 3.3 V
IOUT2 = 3 A
ΔVOUT2_RIPPLE = 33 mV

The rms current of the inductor for both 1.2 V and 3.3 V is
approximately 3.01 A.
Choose a 10 kΩ top feedback resistor (RTOP); calculate the bottom

To set the output voltage to 1.2 V, the resistor values are RTOP1 = 10
kΩ and RBOT1 = 10 kΩ. To set the output voltage to 3.3 V, the
resistors values are RTOP2 = 10 kΩ and RBOT2 = 2.21 kΩ.
CURRENT-LIMIT SETTING
For 3 A output current operation, the typical peak current limit
is 4.8 A. In this case, no RILIM is required.
For the 1.2 V rail, select an inductor with a minimum rms
current rating of 3.01 A and a minimum saturation current
rating of 3.49 A. For the 3.3 V rail, select an inductor with a
minimum rms current rating of 3.01 A and a minimum
saturation current rating of 3.51 A.
Based on these requirements, for the 1.2 V rail, select a 2.2 µH
inductor, such as the Sumida CDRH105RNP-2R2N, with a
DCR = 7.2 mΩ; for the 3.3 V rail, select a 4.7 µH inductor, such
as the Sumida CDRH105RNP-4R7N, with a DCR = 12.3 mΩ.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
The output capacitor is required to meet the output voltage
ripple and load transient requirement. To meet the output
voltage ripple requirement, use the following equation to
calculate the ESR and capacitance:

For VOUT1 = 1.2 V, COUT_RIPPLE1 = 20 µF and RESR1 = 12 mΩ. For
VOUT2 = 3.3 V, COUT_RIPPLE2 = 7.7 µF and RESR2 = 32 mΩ.
Therefore, ROSC =100 kΩ.
INDUCTOR SELECTION
The peak-to-peak inductor ripple current, ΔIL, is set to 30% of
the maximum output current. Use the following equation to
estimate the value of the inductor:
L=
L × f SW
Find the peak inductor current by using the following equation:

ROSC (kΩ ) =
(VIN − VOUT ) × D
To meet the ±5% overshoot and undershoot requirement, use
the following equation to calculate the capacitance:
(VIN − VOUT )× D
∆I L × f SW
For VOUT1 = 1.2 V, Inductor L1 = 2.4 µH, and for VOUT2 = 3.3 V,
Inductor L2 = 5.3 µH.
Select the standard inductor value of 2.2 µH and 4.7 µH for the
1.2 V and 3.3 V rails.
COUT _ OV =
K OV × ∆I STEP 2 × L
(VOUT + ∆VOUT _ OV )2 − VOUT 2
COUT _UV =
K UV × ∆I STEP 2 × L
2 × (VIN − VOUT ) × ∆VOUT _UV
For estimation purposes, use KOV = KUV = 2. For VOUT1 = 1.2 V, use
COUT_OV1 = 191 µF and COUT_UV1 = 21 µF. For VOUT2 = 3.3 V, use
COUT_OV2 = 54 µF and COUT_UV2 = 20 µF.
