Analog Devices Expands Range of Constant On-Time, Synchronous Buck Controllers



- ADI's ADP1870 and ADP1871 buck controllers incorporate constant on-time and valley current-mode techniques to drive all N-channel power stages, regulating output voltages as low as 0.6 V.

NORWOOD, Mass.-- Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal-processing applications, today introduced two current-mode, synchronous buck controllers that support input-power voltages ranging from 2.95 V to 20 V. The ADP1870 and ADP1871 synchronous buck controllers provide superior transient response through the use of a constant on-time, current-mode control system. The devices are suited to intermediate rail or point-of-load generation in consumer, industrial and instrumentation, and telecommunications and networking applications.

The new buck converters also offer enhanced performance at low duty cycles by using a valley current-mode control architecture. The ADP1870 and ADP1871 are available in three frequency options - 300 kHz, 600 kHz, and 1 MHz. Additionally, the ADP1871 offers a power-saving mode capable of pulse-skipping to maintain output regulation while improving system efficiency at light loads. Low-voltage biasing is supplied through a 5-V internal LDO (low-dropout oscillator).

ADP1870 and ADP1871 Synchronous Buck Regulators -- Features and Benefits
Both regulators feature an internally-fixed soft-start period to limit input in-rush current from the input supply during startup and to provide reverse current protection during soft-start for a pre-charged output. Other features and benefits include:
  • Constant on-time architecture for improved transient response
  • Valley-detect current sense for improved noise immunity - no additional current resistor required
  • Power saving mode (ADP1871 only) for improved efficiency at light load
  • 0.6-V reference voltage with ±1.0 percent accuracy allows devices to be used in low-voltage, high-accuracy, point-of-load applications
  • Precision-enable ensures precise turn-on with internal soft-start

    The introduction of the ADP1870 and ADP1871 devices marks ADI's continued expansion of the switching controller and regulator product lines following recent announcements of the ADP1872/3 constant on-time, synchronous buck controllers and the ADP1877 fixed frequency, dual buck controller.
