Available in 16-lead, 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP  
Supported by ADIsimPower design tool  
The ADP1851 provides a high speed, high peak current gate  
driving capability to enable energy efficient power conversion.  
The device can be configured to operate in power saving mode  
by skipping pulses, reducing switching losses, and improving  
efficiency at light load and standby conditions.  
The accurate current limit allows design within a narrower  
range of tolerances and can reduce overall converter size and  
cost. The ADP1851 can regulate down to 0.6 V output using a  
high accuracy reference with 1% tolerance over the  
temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.  
APPLICATIONS  
Intermediate bus and POL systems requiring sequencing and  
tracking, including  
Telecom base station and networking  
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  
configurations; loop compensation, soft start, frequency setting,  
power saving mode, current limit, and current sense gain can  
all be programmed using external components. In addition, the  
external RAMP resistor allows the selection of optimal slope  
and VIN feedforward in both current and voltage modes for  
excellent line rejection. The linear regulator and the bootstrap  
diode for the high-side driver are internal.  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The ADP1851 is a wide range input, dc-to-dc, synchronous  
buck controller capable of running from commonly used 3.3 V  
to 12 V (up to 20 V) voltage inputs. The device nominally  
operates in current mode with valley current sensing providing  
the fastest step response for digital loads. It can also be config-  
ured as a voltage mode controller with low noise and crosstalk  
for sensitive loads.  
Protection features include undervoltage lockout, overvoltage,  
overcurrent/short circuit, and overtemperature.  
The ADP1851 is ideal in system applications requiring multiple  
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.

EN  
Enable Input. Drive EN high to turn the controller on, and drive EN low to turn the controller off. Tie EN to VIN for  
automatic startup. For a precision UVLO, connect an appropriately sized resistor divider from VIN to AGND, and  
tie the midpoint to this pin.  
2
SS/TRK  
Soft Start/Tracking Input. Connect a capacitor from SS/TRK to AGND to set the soft start time. This node is  
internally pulled up to VCCO through a 6.5 µA current source. Use this pin as the TRK input for tracking an  
external voltage during startup.

FB  
COMP  
Output Voltage Feedback Input. Connect this pin to an output via a resistor divider.  
Compensation Node. Output of the error amplifier. Connect a resistor/capacitor (RC) network from COMP to FB  
to compensate the regulation control loop.  
5
SYNC  
Frequency Synchronization Input. This pin accepts an external clock signal with a frequency close to 1× the  
internal oscillator frequency, fOSC, set by the FREQ pin. The controller operates in forced PWM mode when a  
periodic clock signal is detected at SYNC or when SYNC is high (connected to VCCO). The resulting switching  
frequency is 1× the SYNC frequency. When SYNC is low or left floating, the controller operates in pulse skip  
mode.

VIN  
Input Voltage. Connect to main power supply. Bypass with a 1 µF or larger ceramic capacitor connected as close  
as possible to this pin and AGND.  
Output of the Internal Low Dropout (LDO) Regulator. The internal circuitry and gate drivers are powered from  
VCCO. Bypass VCCO to AGND with a 1 μF or larger ceramic capacitor. The VCCO output remains active even  
when EN is low. For operations at VIN below 5.5 V, VIN can be connected to VCCO. Do not use the LDO to power  
other auxiliary system loads.

ADP1851  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
The ADP1851 is a fixed frequency, step-down, synchronous  
switching controller with integrated drivers and bootstrapping  
for external N-channel power MOSFETs. The current mode  
control loop can also be configured to voltage mode. The  
controller can be set to operate in pulse skip mode for power  
saving at light loads or in forced PWM mode. The ADP1851  
includes programmable soft start, output overvoltage  
protection, programmable current limit, power good, and  
tracking functions. The controller can operate at a switching  
frequency between 200 kHz and 1.5 MHz that is programmed  
with a resistor or synchronized to an external clock.  
As shown in Figure 16, the emulated current ramp is generated  
inside the IC, but offers programmability through the RAMP  
pin. Selecting an appropriate value resistor to connect between  
VIN and the RAMP pin programs a desired slope compensation  
value and, at the same time, provides a VIN feedforward feature.  
Control logic enforces antishoot-through operation to limit  
cross-conduction of the internal drivers and external MOSFETs.  
OSCILLATOR FREQUENCY  
The internal oscillator frequency, which ranges from 200 kHz  
to 1.5 MHz, is set by an external resistor, RFREQ, at the FREQ  
pin. Some common fOSC values are shown in Table 4, and a  
graphical relationship is shown in Figure 17. For example,  
a 78.7 kΩ resistor sets the oscillator frequency to 800 kHz.  
Connecting FREQ to AGND or FREQ to VCCO sets the oscil-  
lator frequency to 300 kHz or 600 kHz, respectively. For other  
frequencies that are not listed in Table 4, the values of RFREQ and  
CONTROL ARCHITECTURE  
The ADP1851 is based on a fixed frequency, emulated peak  
current mode, PWM control architecture. The inductor current  
is sensed by the voltage drop measured across the external low-  
side MOSFET, RDSON, or across the sense resistor placed in series  
between the low-side MOSFET source and the power ground.  
The current is sensed during the off period of the switching  
cycle and is conditioned with the internal current sense  
amplifier.  
f
OSC can be obtained from Figure 17, or use the following  
empirical formula to calculate these values:  
R
FREQ(kΩ) = 96,568 × fOSC (kHz)1.065  
The gain of the current sense amplifier is programmable to  
3 V/V, 6 V/V, or 12 V/V during the controller power-up  
initialization before the device starts switching. A 47 kΩ resistor  
between DL and PGND programs a gain of 3 V/V; a 22 kΩ  
resistor sets a gain of 6 V/V. Without a resistor, the gain is  
programmed to 12 V/V.

The output signal of the current sense amplifier is held, added  
to the emulated current ramp in the next switching cycle during  
the DH on time, and fed into the PWM comparator, as shown  
in Figure 16. This signal is compared with the COMP signal  
from the error amplifier and resets the flip-flop, which  
generates the PWM pulse. If voltage mode control is selected by  
placing a 100 kΩ resistor between DL and PGND, the emulated  
current ramp is fed to the PWM comparator without adding the  
current sense signal.

SYNCHRONIZATION  
SW  
The switching frequency of the ADP1851 can be synchronized  
to an external clock signal by connecting it to the SYNC pin.  
The internal oscillator frequency, programmed by the resistor at  
the FREQ pin, must be set close to the external clock frequency;  
therefore, the external clock frequency can vary between 0.85×  
and 1.3× the internal clock set. The resulting switching frequency  
is 1× the external SYNC frequency. When synchronized, the  
ADP1851 operates in PWM mode.

COMP

VOUT_AC  
INDUCTOR  
CURRENT  
When an external clock is detected at the first SYNC edge, the  
internal oscillator is reset, and the clock control shifts to SYNC.  
The SYNC edges then trigger subsequent clocking of the PWM  
outputs. The DH rising edge appears approximately 100 ns after  
the corresponding SYNC edge, and the frequency is locked to  
the external signal. If the external SYNC signal disappears during  
operation, the ADP1851 reverts to its internal oscillator. When  
the SYNC function is used, it is recommended that a pull-up  
resistor be connected from SYNC to VCCO so that when the  
SYNC signal is lost, the ADP1851 continues to operate in  
PWM mode.

Figure 18. Example of Pulse Skip Mode Under a Light Load  
When the output load is greater than the pulse skip threshold  
current, that is, when VCOMP reaches the threshold of 0.9 V, the  
ADP1851 exits the pulse skip mode of operation and enters  
the fixed frequency discontinuous conduction mode (DCM),  
as shown in Figure 19. When the load increases further, the  
ADP1851 enters continuous conduction mode (CCM).  
PWM AND PULSE SKIP MODES OF OPERATION  
The SYNC pin is a multifunctional pin. PWM mode is enabled  
when SYNC is connected to VCCO or a high logic. When SYNC is  
connected to ground or left floating, pulse skip mode is enabled.  
Switching SYNC from low to high or high to low on the fly causes  
the controller to transition from forced PWM mode to pulse  
skip mode or from pulse skip mode to forced PWM mode,  
respectively, in two clock cycles.

Figure 19. Example of Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) Waveform  
In forced PWM mode, the ADP1851 always operates in CCM at  
any load; therefore, the inductor current is always continuous.  
The ADP1851 has pulse skip sensing circuitry that allows the  
controller to skip PWM pulses, reducing the switching  
frequency at light loads and, therefore, maintaining better  
efficiency during light load operation. The resulting output  
ripple is larger than that of the fixed frequency forced PWM  
mode. Figure 18 shows the ADP1851 operating in pulse skip  
mode under a light load. Pulse skip frequency under a light load  
is dependent on the inductor, output capacitance, output load,  
and input and output voltages.

SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER AND DEAD TIME  
VIN = 2.75V TO 5.5V  
In the ADP1851, the antishoot-through circuit monitors the  
DH to SW and DL to PGND voltages and adjusts the low-side  
and high-side drivers to ensure break-before-make switching  
that prevents cross-conduction or shoot-through between the  
high-side and low-side MOSFETs. This break-before-make  
switching is known as dead time, which is not fixed and depends  
on how fast the MOSFETs are turned on and off. In a typical  
application circuit that uses medium sized MOSFETs with an  
input capacitance of approximately 3 nF, the typical dead time  
is approximately 25 ns. When small and fast MOSFETs with fast  
diode recovery times are used, the dead time can be as low as 13 ns.  
VIN VCCO  
ADP1851  
Figure 20. Configuration for VIN < 5.5 V  
OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION  
The ADP1851 has a built-in circuit for detecting output over-  
voltage at the FB node. When the FB voltage, VFB, rises above  
the overvoltage threshold, the high-side N-channel MOSFET  
(NMOSFET) is turned off, and the low-side NMOSFET is turned  
on until VFB drops below the undervoltage threshold. This action is  
known as the crowbar overvoltage protection. If the overvoltage  
condition is not removed, the controller maintains the feedback  
voltage between the overvoltage and undervoltage thresholds,  
and the output is regulated to within typically +8% and −8% of  
the regulation voltage. During an overvoltage event, the SS/TRK  
node discharges through an internal 3 kΩ pull-down resistor.  
When the voltage at FB drops below the undervoltage threshold,  
the soft start sequence restarts. Figure 21 shows the overvoltage  
protection in PSM.  
INPUT UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT  
When the bias input voltage at the VIN pin is less than the  
undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold of 2.65 V typical, the  
switch drivers stay inactive. If EN is high, the controller starts  
switching and the VIN pin voltage exceeds the UVLO threshold.  
INTERNAL LINEAR REGULATOR  
The internal linear regulator is a low dropout (LDO) VCCO.  
VCCO powers up the internal control circuitry and provides  
power for the gate drivers. It is guaranteed to have more than  
200 mA of output current capability, which is sufficient to handle  
the gate driver requirements of typical logic threshold MOSFETs  
driven at up to 1.5 MHz. VCCO is always active and cannot be  
shut down by the EN signal; however, the over-temperature  
protection event disables the LDO together with the controller.  
Bypass VCCO to AGND with a 1 µF or greater capacitor.  
DH  
3
DL

VOUT  
Because the LDO supplies the gate driver current, the output of  
VCCO is subject to sharp transient currents as the drivers switch  
and the boost capacitors recharge during each switching cycle.  
The LDO has been optimized to handle these transients without  
overload faults. Due to the gate drive loading, using the VCCO  
output for other external auxiliary system loads is not  
recommended.

The LDO includes a current limit that is well above the  
expected maximum gate driver load. This current limit also  
includes a short-circuit foldback to further limit the VCCO  
current in the event of a short-circuit fault.  
Figure 21. Overvoltage Protection in PSM Mode, VOUT Shorted to 2.0 V  
POWER GOOD  
The PGOOD pin is an open-drain NMOSFET. An internal  
12.5 kΩ pull-up resistor is connected between PGOOD and  
VCCO. PGOOD is internally pulled up to VCCO during normal  
operation and is active low when triggered. When the feedback  
voltage, VFB, rises above the overvoltage threshold or falls below  
the undervoltage threshold, the PGOOD output is pulled to  
ground after a delay of 12 µs. The overvoltage or undervoltage  
condition must exist for at least 10 µs for PGOOD to become  
active. The PGOOD output also becomes active if a thermal  
overload condition is detected.  
For an input voltage of less than 5.5 V, it is recommended to  
bypass the LDO by connecting VIN to VCCO, as shown in  
Figure 20, thus eliminating the dropout voltage. However, if  
the input range is 4 V to 7 V, the LDO cannot be bypassed by  
shorting VIN to VCCO because the 7 V input has exceeded the  
maximum voltage rating of the VCCO pin. In this case, use the  
LDO to drive the internal drivers, but keep in mind that there is  
a dropout when VIN is less than 5 V.

SHORT-CIRCUIT AND CURRENT-LIMIT  
PROTECTION  
ENABLE/DISABLE CONTROL  
The EN pin is used to enable or disable the ADP1851 controller;  
the typical precision enable threshold is 0.63 V. When the voltage at  
EN rises above the threshold voltage, the controller is enabled and  
starts normal operation after initialization of the internal oscillator,  
references, settings, and the soft start period. When the voltage  
at EN falls to typically 30 mV (hysteresis) below the threshold  
voltage, the driver and the internal controller circuits in the  
ADP1851 are turned off. The initial settings are still valid;  
therefore, reenabling the controller does not change the settings  
until the power at the VIN pin is cycled. In addition, the EN  
signal does not shut down the LDO regulator at VCCO, which  
is always active when VIN is above the UVLO threshold.  
When the output is shorted or the output current exceeds the  
current limit set by the current-limit setting resistor (between  
ILIM and SW) for eight consecutive cycles, the ADP1851 shuts  
off both the high-side and low-side drivers and restarts the soft  
start sequence every 10 ms, which is known as hiccup mode.  
The SS node discharges to zero through an internal 3 kΩ resistor  
during an overcurrent or short-circuit event. Figure 22 shows  
that the ADP1851 on a high current application circuit maintains  
current-limit hiccup mode when the output is shorted.  
SW  
For the purpose of start-up power sequencing, the startup of the  
ADP1851 can be programmed by connecting an appropriate  
resistor divider from the master power supply to the EN pin, as  
shown in Figure 23. For example, if the desired start-up voltage  
from the master power supply is 10 V, R1 and R2 can be set to  
156 kΩ and 10 kΩ, respectively.

THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION  
The ADP1851 has an internal temperature sensor that senses the  
junction temperature of the chip. When the junction tempera-  
ture of the ADP1851 reaches approximately 155°C, the ADP1851  
goes into thermal shutdown, the converter is turned off, and the  
SS/TRK pin discharges toward zero through an internal 3 kΩ  
resistor. At the same time, VCCO discharges to zero. When the  
junction temperature falls below 135°C, the ADP1851 resumes  
normal operation after the soft start sequence.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
ADIsimPower DESIGN TOOL  
SETTING THE CURRENT LIMIT  
The ADP1851 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  
allow the user to generate a full schematic and bill of materials  
and to 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. The ADIsimPower  
tool can be found at www.analog.com/ADIsimPower, and the  
user can request an unpopulated board through the tool.  
The current-limit comparator measures the voltage across the  
low-side MOSFET to determine the load current.  
The current limit is set by an external current-limit resistor, RILIM  
,
between ILIM and SW. The current sense pin, ILIM, sources  
nominally 50 ꢀA to this external resistor. This creates an offset  
voltage of RILIM multiplied by 50 ꢀA. When the drop across the  
current sense element RCS (low-side MOSFET, RDSON) is equal to  
or greater than this offset voltage, the ADP1851 flags a current-  
limit event.

VIN PIN FILTER  
OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION  
It is recommended that a low-pass filter be connected to the  
VIN pin. Connecting a resistor, between 2 Ω and 10 Ω, in series  
with VIN and a 1 µF ceramic capacitor between VIN and AGND  
creates a low-pass filter that effectively filters out any unwanted  
glitches caused by the switching regulator. Keep in mind that the  
input current may be larger than 100 mA when driving large  
MOSFETs. A 100 mA current across a 10 Ω resistor creates a  
1 V drop, which is the same voltage drop in VCCO. In this  
case, a lower resistor value is desirable.

The impedance of the output capacitor at the switching

inductance (ESL).

BOOST CAPACITOR SELECTION  
Connect a boost capacitor between the SW and BST pins to  
provide the current for the high-side driver during switching.  
Choose a ceramic capacitor with a value between 0.1 µF and  
0.22 µF.  
Usually the capacitor impedance is dominated by ESR. The  
maximum ESR rating of the capacitor, such as in electrolytic  
or polymer capacitors, is provided in the manufacturers data  
sheet; therefore, the output ripple reduces to  
INDUCTOR SELECTION  
For most applications, choose an inductor value such that  
the inductor ripple current is between 20% and 40% of the  
maximum dc output load current.  
VOUT ≅ ∆IL × RESR  
Electrolytic capacitors also have significant ESL, on the order  
of 5 nH to 20 nH, depending on type, size, and geometry. PCB  
traces contribute some ESR and ESL as well. However, using the  
maximum ESR rating from the capacitor data sheet usually

have low thermal resistance to ensure that the power dissipated  
in the MOSFET does not result in excessive MOSFET die

The high-side MOSFET carries the load current during on time  
and usually carries most of the transition losses of the converter.  
Typically, the lower the on resistance of the MOSFET, the higher  
the gate charge, and vice versa. Therefore, it is important to choose  
a high-side MOSFET that balances the two losses. The conduction  
loss of the high-side MOSFET is determined by the equation

Note that the gate charging power loss is not dissipated in the

overall power efficiency.

The total power dissipation of the high-side MOSFET is the  
sum of the conduction and transition losses:  
The high-side MOSFET transition loss is approximated by the

The synchronous rectifier, or low-side MOSFET, carries the  
inductor current when the high-side MOSFET is off. The low-  
side MOSFET transition loss is small and can be ignored in the  
calculation. For high input voltage and low output voltage, the  
low-side MOSFET carries the current most of the time. Therefore,  
to achieve high efficiency, it is critical to optimize the low-side  
MOSFET for low on resistance. In cases where the power loss  
exceeds the MOSFET rating or lower resistance is required than  
is available in a single MOSFET, connect multiple low-side  
MOSFETs in parallel. The equation for low-side MOSFET  
conduction power loss is

Assuming that the LC filter design is complete, the feedback control  
system can be compensated. In general, aluminum electrolytic  
capacitors have high ESR; however, if several aluminum electrolytic  
capacitors are connected in parallel and produce a low effective  
ESR, then Type III compensation is needed. In addition, ceramic  
capacitors have very low ESR (only a few milliohms), making  
Type III compensation a better choice.

When precise compensation is needed, use the ADIsimPower  
design tool.  
Setting the Current Sense Gain  
The voltage drop across the external low-side MOSFET is sensed  
by a current sense amplifier by multiplying the peak inductor  
current and the RDSON of the MOSFET. The result is then amplified  
by a gain factor of 3 V/V, 6 V/V, or 12 V/V, which is programmable  
by an external resistor, RCSG, connected to the DL pin. This gain  
is sensed only during power-up and not during normal operation.  
The amplified voltage is summed with the slope compensation  
ramp voltage and fed into the PWM controller for a stable  
regulation voltage.  
LOOP COMPENSATION—CURRENT MODE  
Compensate the ADP1851 error voltage loop in current mode  
using Type II compensation.  
Setting the Slope Compensation  
In a current mode control topology, slope compensation is needed  
to prevent subharmonic oscillations in the inductor current and  
to maintain a stable output. The external slope compensation is  
implemented by summing the amplified sense signal and a scaled  
voltage at the RAMP pin. To set the effective slope compensation,  
connect a resistor (RRAMP) between the RAMP pin and the input  
voltage (VIN). RRAMP is calculated by  
The voltage range of the internal node, VCS, is between 0.4 V and  
2.2 V. Select the current sense gain such that the internal minimum  
amplified voltage (VCSMIN) is above 0.4 V and the maximum  
amplified voltage (VCSMAX) is 2.1 V. Note that VCSMIN or VCSMAX is  
not the same as VCOMP, which has a range of 0.9 V to 2.2 V. Make  
sure that the maximum VCOMP (VCOMPMAX) does not exceed 2.2 V  
to account for temperature and part-to-part variations. See the

To reduce voltage ringing and noise, it is recommended that an  
RC snubber be added between SW and PGND for high current  
applications, as illustrated in Figure 29.

For Type II compensation, use the circuit shown in Figure 28.  
Calculate the compensation resistor, RZ, with the following

typically 1.2 nF to 3 nF.

ACS is the current sense amplifier gain of 3 V/V, 6 V/V, or  
12 V/V, set by the gain resistor between DL and PGND.  
In most applications, a component size of 0805 for RSNUB is  
sufficient. The RC snubber does not reduce the voltage over-  
shoot. A resistor, RRISE in Figure 29, at the BST pin helps to reduce  
overshoot and is generally between 2 Ω and 4 Ω. Adding a resistor  
in series, typically between 2 Ω and 4 Ω, with the gate driver also  
helps to reduce overshoot. If a gate resistor is added, RRISE is  
not needed.  
If the current is sensed on a current sense resistor, RCS, then RS  
becomes

Next, choose the compensation capacitor to set the compensa-  
tion zero, fZ1, to the lesser of 1/5 of the crossover frequency or  
1/2 of the LC resonant frequency.

ADP1851  
As the master voltage rises, the slave voltage rises identically.  
VOLTAGE TRACKING  
Eventually, the slave voltage reaches its regulation voltage, at  
which point the internal reference takes over the regulation  
while the SS/TRK input continues to increase, thus removing  
itself from influencing the output voltage.  
The ADP1851 includes a tracking feature that tracks a master  
voltage. In all tracking configurations, the output can be set as  
low as 0.6 V for a given operating condition.  
Two tracking configurations are possible with the ADP1851:  
coincident and ratiometric tracking.  
To ensure that the output voltage accuracy is not compromised  
by the SS/TRK pin being too close in voltage to the reference  
voltage (VFB, typically 0.6 V), make sure that the final value of  
the SS/TRK voltage of the slave channel is at least 30 mV above VFB.  
Coincident Tracking  
The most common application is coincident tracking, used  
in core vs. I/O voltage sequencing and similar applications. As  
shown in Figure 30, coincident tracking forces the ramp rate of  
the output voltage to be the same for the master and slave until  
the slave output reaches its regulation voltage. Connect the slave  
SS/TRK input to a resistor divider from the master voltage that  
is the same as the divider used on the slave FB pin. This forces the  
slave voltage to be the same as the master voltage. For coincident  
tracking, use RTRKT = RTOP and RTRKB = RBOT, as shown in Figure 31.  
Ratiometric Tracking  
Ratiometric tracking limits the output voltage to a fraction of  
the master voltage, as illustrated in Figure 32 and Figure 33. The  
final SS/TRK voltage of the slave channel should be set to at  
least 30 mV above VFB.
