Mnemonic Description
1 19 FREQ
Frequency Control Input. Low for 300 kHz, high for 600 kHz, or connect a resistor from FREQ to GND to
set the free-running frequency between 300 kHz and 600 kHz.
2 20 SYNC
Frequency Synchronization Input. Accepts external signals between 300 kHz and 600 kHz if FREQ is set
to low, or between 600 kHz and 1.2 MHz if FREQ is set to high. If f
OSC
is set by R
FREQ
, then the
synchronization frequency range is from f
OSC
up to 600 kHz. If SYNC is not used, connect SYNC to GND
or VREG. V
SYNC
can be driven up to 6 V even when V
IN
is less than 6 V.
3 1 EN
Enable Input. Drive EN high or tristate EN to turn on the ADP1828 controller, and drive it low to turn off.
Connect EN to IN for automatic startup.
4 2 IN
Input Supply to the Internal Linear Regulator. Drive IN with 5.5 V to 20 V to power the ADP1828 from
LDO, VREG; tie PV to VREG. For input voltages between 3 V and 5.5 V, tie IN, PV, and VREG together.
5 3 VREG
Output of the Internal Linear Regulator (LDO). The internal circuitry and gate drivers are powered from
VREG. Bypass VREG to AGND plane with 1 F ceramic capacitor for stable operation, for example, a 10 V
X5R 1 F ceramic capacitor is sufficient. The VREG output is 5 V when IN = 5 V + dropout. Connect IN to
VREG and PV when IN = 3 V to 5.5 V. For applications with IN < 5.5 V and IN not connected to VREG, keep
in mind that VREG = VIN – dropout. VREG needs to be ≥3 V for proper operation.
6 4 GND Ground for Internal Circuits. Tie the bottom of the feedback dividers to this GND.
7 5 COMP Error Amplifier Output. Connect an RC network from COMP to FB for loop compensation.
8 6 FB
Voltage Feedback. Connect a resistor divider from the buck regulator output to GND and tie the tap to
FB to set the output voltage.
9 7 TRK
Tracking Input. To track a master voltage, drive TRK from a voltage divider from the master voltage. If
the tracking function is not used, connect TRK to VREG.
10 8 SS Soft Start Control Input. Connect a capacitor from SS to GND to set the soft start period.
11 9 PGOOD
Open-Drain Power-Good Output. Sinks current when FB is out of regulation. Connect a pull-up resistor
from PGOOD to VREG.
12 10 PV
Positive Input Voltage for Gate Driver DL. When IN is 3 V to 5.5 V, connect IN to VREG and PV. Connect a
1 F bypass capacitor from PV to PGND. When IN = 5.5 V to 20 V, connect PV to VREG.
13 11 DL Low-Side (Synchronous Rectifier) Gate Driver Output.
14 12 PGND Power GND. Ground for gate driver.
15 13 CSL
Current Sense Comparator Inverting Input. Connect a resistor between CSL and SW to set the current-
limit offset.
16 14 SW Switch Node Connection.
17 15 DH High-Side (Switch) Gate Driver Output.
18 16 BST
Boost Capacitor Input. Powers the high-side gate driver DH. Connect a 0.22 F to 0.47 F ceramic
capacitor from BST to SW and a Schottky diode from PV to BST.
