Programmable current sense gain Integrated bootstrap diode Starts into a precharged load Externally adjustable slope compensation Suitable for any output capacitor Overvoltage and overcurrent-limit protection The ADP1851 provides a high speed, high peak current gate Thermal overload protection driving capability to enable energy efficient power conversion. Input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) The device can be configured to operate in power saving mode Available in 16-lead, 4 mm 4 mm LFCSP by skipping pulses, reducing switching losses, and improving Supported by ADIsimPower design tool efficiency at light load and standby conditions. APPLICATIONS The accurate current limit allows design within a narrower range of tolerances and can reduce overall converter size and Intermediate bus and POL systems requiring sequencing and cost. The ADP1851 can regulate down to 0.6 V output using a tracking, including high accuracy reference with 1% tolerance over the Telecom base station and networking temperature range of 40C to +125C. Industrial and instrumentation Medical and healthcare With its wide range input voltage, the ADP1851 provides the designer with maximum flexibility for use in a variety of system GENERAL DESCRIPTION configurations loop compensation, soft start, frequency setting, The ADP1851 is a wide range input, dc-to-dc, synchronous power saving mode, current limit, and current sense gain can all buck controller capable of running from commonly used 3.3 V be programmed using external components. In addition, the to 12 V (up to 20 V) voltage inputs. The device nominally external RAMP resistor allows the selection of optimal slope operates in current mode with valley current sensing providing and V feedforward in both current and voltage modes for IN the fastest step response for digital loads. It can also be config- excellent line rejection. The linear regulator and the bootstrap ured as a voltage mode controller with low noise and crosstalk diode for the high-side driver are internal. for sensitive loads. Protection features include undervoltage lockout, overvoltage, The ADP1851 is ideal in system applications requiring multiple overcurrent/short circuit, and overtemperature. output voltages. The ADP1851 includes a synchronization feature to eliminate beat frequencies between switching devices. It also provides accurate tracking capability between supplies and includes precision enable and power-good functions for simple, robust sequencing.
