GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP1877 is a Flex-Mode™ (proprietary architecture of
Analog Devices, Inc.), dual-channel, step-down switching
controller with integrated drivers that drive N-channel
synchronous power MOSFETs. The two PWM outputs are
phase shifted 180°, which reduces the input RMS current, thus
minimizing required input capacitance.
The boost diodes are built into the ADP1877, thus lowering the
overall system cost and component count. The ADP1877 can
be set to operate in pulse skip high efficiency mode under light
load or in PWM continuous conduction mode.
The ADP1877 includes externally adjustable soft start, output
overvoltage protection, externally adjustable current limit,
power good, and a programmable oscillator frequency that
ranges from 200 kHz to 1.5 MHz. The ADP1877 provides an
output voltage accuracy of ±0.85% from −40°C to +85°C and
±1.5% from −40°C to 125°C in junction temperature. This part
can be powered from a 2.75 V to 14.5 V supply, operates over
the −40
o
C to +125
o
C junction temperature range, and is availa-
ble in a 32-lead 5 mm × 5 mm LFCSP package.
