Product details
Overview
ADP1870ACPZ-1.0-R7 from Analog Devices is a synchronous buck controller implementing constant on-time and valley current-mode control for high-efficiency, fast-transient DC/DC conversion. It supports 3.25 V to 20 V input, delivers regulated output down to 0.6 V with ±1.0% reference accuracy, operates at 1.0 MHz switching frequency, and drives all-N-channel MOSFET power stages in telecom POL supplies.
For engineers reviewing the ADP1870ACPZ-1.0-R7 datasheet, ADP1870ACPZ-1.0-R7 pinout, ADP1870ACPZ-1.0-R7 application, or ADP1870ACPZ-1.0-R7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.0 MHz fixed-frequency operation, integrated bootstrap diode, valley-current sensing without external sense resistor, thermal shutdown at 155°C, and compatibility with precharged load startup.
Technical Context
The ADP1870ACPZ-1.0-R7 uses a pseudo-fixed-frequency constant on-time architecture combined with valley current-mode control to maintain stability and transient response across wide duty-cycle ranges. Its minimum on-time of 60 ns (typ) at VIN = 20 V enables low-output-voltage regulation (e.g., 0.6 V) even at high input voltages.
It integrates an internal 5 V LDO (VREG) for biasing, a precision enable input with 245–330 mV threshold, and programmable current-sense gain via DRVL-to-PGND resistor. The device features hiccup-mode short-circuit protection and thermal overload shutdown with 15°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 1.0 MHz - Enables compact magnetics and high-density layout for space-constrained POL applications. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.25 V to 20 V - Supports 12 V intermediate bus and wide-input industrial/compute rails. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.0% at FB pin (600 mV reference) - Ensures tight regulation for DSP/FPGA core supplies. |
| Min On-Time | 60 ns (typ) - Allows stable 0.6 V output at 20 V input (3% duty cycle), critical for low-VOUT applications. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 155°C with 15°C hysteresis - Protects against sustained overload while enabling recovery after cooling. |
| VREG Output | 5 V ±10% (2.75–5.5 V range) - Powers internal circuitry and gate drivers; not for external loading. |
| Enable Threshold | 245–330 mV logic-high level - Provides precise system-level power sequencing control. |
Pinout & Package
ADP1870ACPZ-1.0-R7 is housed in a 10-lead LFCSP package (3 mm × 3 mm × 0.8 mm) with exposed pad thermally connected to GND. The package supports high-power density and enhanced thermal performance (θJA = 40°C/W on 4-layer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | High-side MOSFET drain connection | Primary input rail connection; supports up to 20 V with UVLO at 2.65 V rising. |
| COMP/EN | Error amplifier output / Enable input | Active-low enable: <285 mV disables IC; also provides loop compensation node. |
| FB | Feedback voltage sense input | Connects to resistor divider; regulates output by comparing to 600 mV internal reference. |
| GND | Analog ground reference | Reference for sensitive analog blocks; must be separated from PGND per layout guidelines. |
| VREG | Internal LDO output | 5 V bias supply for controllers/drivers; bypass with 1 µF to PGND + 0.1 µF to GND. |
| DRVL | Low-side N-MOSFET gate driver | Also sets current-sense gain via external resistor to PGND (e.g., 100 kΩ → 24 V/V gain). |
| PGND | Power ground return | Return path for low-side driver and MOSFET source; separate from analog GND. |
| DRVH | High-side N-MOSFET gate driver | Driven from BST node; requires external bootstrap capacitor between BST and SW. |
| SW | Switch node | Connection point between high- and low-side MOSFETs; ties to inductor and bootstrap cap. |
| BST | Bootstrap supply for high-side driver | Internally rectified from VREG; requires external capacitor to SW for high-side gate drive. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external current-sense resistor | Valley current sensing via DRVL pin eliminates Rsense losses and PCB area, improving efficiency at light loads. |
| Integrated bootstrap diode | Reduces external component count and improves reliability vs. discrete Schottky solutions in high-frequency designs. |
| Starts into precharged load | Prevents reverse current flow during soft-start, enabling safe hot-swap and inrush-limited power-up in modular systems. |
| Resistor-programmable current-sense gain | Four gain options (11–26 V/V) via single DRVL-to-PGND resistor allow optimization for different MOSFET RDS(on) values. |
| Constant on-time + valley current mode | Combines fast transient response (COT) with inherent current-limit protection and stable operation at ultra-low duty cycles. |

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the ADP1870ACPZ-1.0-R7?
The ADP1870ACPZ-1.0-R7 is factory-configured for 1.0 MHz nominal switching frequency, with typical variation of ±10% across temperature and load. This frequency is fixed per the "-1.0" suffix and does not require external programming resistors or capacitors. Measured data (Figure 25) confirms stable operation from 13 V to 16.5 V input at 1.0 MHz across −40°C to +125°C.
Does the ADP1870ACPZ-1.0-R7 require an external current-sense resistor?
No, the ADP1870ACPZ-1.0-R7 does not require an external current-sense resistor. It implements valley current-mode sensing using the low-side MOSFET's RDS(on) as the sense element, with gain set by a resistor from DRVL to PGND. This eliminates power loss and PCB area associated with discrete sense resistors, as confirmed in the General Description and Table 1 "Current-Sense Amplifier Gain" section.
Can the ADP1870ACPZ-1.0-R7 start up into a precharged output?
Yes, the ADP1870ACPZ-1.0-R7 supports startup into a precharged output. Its internal soft-start circuit includes reverse-current protection that prevents current flow from output to input during ramp-up. This feature is explicitly documented in the General Description and validated in application circuits (e.g., Figure 1), making ADP1870ACPZ-1.0-R7 suitable for hot-swap and modular power systems.
What is the minimum output voltage supported by the ADP1870ACPZ-1.0-R7?
The ADP1870ACPZ-1.0-R7 supports a minimum regulated output voltage of 0.6 V, set by its internal 600 mV feedback reference with ±1.0% accuracy. This is confirmed in the Features list and validated in Figures 13, 16, and 19 showing output accuracy down to 0.8 V (and extrapolated to 0.6 V), with stable regulation across full temperature range and load conditions.
Is the ADP1870ACPZ-1.0-R7 pin-compatible with other ADP1870 variants?
Yes, the ADP1870ACPZ-1.0-R7 shares identical pinout and package (10-lead LFCSP) with all ADP1870/ADP1871 variants, including ADP1870ARMZ-0.3 and ADP1870ARMZ-0.6. Frequency selection is determined by internal laser trimming-not external components-so PCB layout is fully reusable across the family, as stated in the Pin Configuration section and Ordering Guide.
