Product details
Overview
ADP2109ACBZ-1.2-R7 from Analog Devices is a fixed-output 1.2 V, 600 mA synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in a 5-ball WLCSP package, featuring 3 MHz switching frequency, internal discharge switch (150 Ω), 95% peak efficiency, and 18 μA quiescent current - designed for powering core logic rails in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the ADP2109ACBZ-1.2-R7 datasheet, ADP2109ACBZ-1.2-R7 pinout, ADP2109ACBZ-1.2-R7 application, or ADP2109ACBZ-1.2-R7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.3 V–5.5 V input range, power save mode transition at 80 mA, 100% duty-cycle low-dropout operation, thermal shutdown at 150°C, and compatibility with tiny multilayer inductors (0.7–3 μH) and ceramic capacitors (≥4.7 μF).
Technical Context
The ADP2109ACBZ-1.2-R7 employs a high-speed current-mode PWM architecture with fixed 3 MHz oscillator, enabling fast line/load transient response and stable regulation across 2.3 V–5.5 V input. Its integrated PFET/NFET synchronous rectifier and internal compensation eliminate external compensation components.
It dynamically shifts between PWM mode (fixed-frequency, tight regulation) and power save mode (hysteretic, low-IQ) below 80 mA load, while maintaining output accuracy of ±2% in PWM mode. The internal 150 Ω discharge switch activates during shutdown, UVLO, or thermal shutdown to rapidly deplete VOUT capacitance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2 V ±2% in PWM mode - ensures stable core supply for low-voltage processors and ASICs without external feedback resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 600 mA across full input range - supports moderate-power digital loads including baseband processors and memory interfaces. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single Li+/Li-Po cells, USB 5 V, and multi-cell alkaline/NiMH sources. |
| Switching Frequency | 3.0 MHz ±0.5 MHz - enables use of sub-1 μH inductors and <10 μF ceramic output capacitors for ultra-compact PCB layouts. |
| Quiescent Current | 18 μA typical - extends battery life in always-on or standby functions of handheld devices. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.2 μA - minimizes leakage drain during system sleep, critical for long-duration portable operation. |
| Discharge Switch RDS(ON) | 150 Ω typical - discharges 10 μF output cap from 1.2 V to <100 mV in ~200 μs, preventing residual voltage issues during power sequencing. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C with 20°C hysteresis - protects die integrity under sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design; resumes operation at ≤130°C. |
Pinout & Package
ADP2109ACBZ-1.2-R7 uses a 5-ball Wafer-Level Chip Scale Package (WLCSP) with 0.4 mm pitch and bottom-side ball layout. The package measures 1.0 mm × 1.0 mm × 0.5 mm (typical), optimized for minimal board area in ultra-thin portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (A1) | Power input node | Supplies PFET high-side switch; requires ≥2.2 μF bypass capacitor placed adjacent to A1 ball to suppress high-frequency switching noise. |
| GND (A2) | Reference ground | Common return path for input/output capacitors and IC substrate; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| SW (B) | Switch node | Drain of PFET and source of NFET synchronous rectifier; carries high di/dt square wave - requires shortest possible trace to inductor. |
| EN (C1) | Logic enable control | Active-high TTL-compatible input; drives high (>1.2 V) to enable, low (<0.4 V) to enter 0.2 μA shutdown with automatic output discharge. |
| FB (C2) | Feedback sense | Internally connected to 1.2 V reference; externally tied directly to output for fixed-output variants - no resistor divider needed. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode, reducing conduction losses and improving efficiency by up to 8% vs. asynchronous designs at 300 mA. |
| Integrated discharge switch | 150 Ω NMOS switch automatically discharges VOUT on disable, enabling clean power-down sequencing without external circuitry. |
| Current-mode PWM + PSM dual-mode control | Seamlessly transitions between fixed-frequency PWM (high efficiency >80 mA) and hysteretic power save mode (<80 mA), maintaining >85% efficiency down to 1 mA load. |
| 100% duty-cycle low-dropout operation | PFET remains fully on when input approaches output voltage, sustaining regulation down to VIN = VOUT + 0.1 V - critical for battery end-of-life operation. |
| Internal soft start & compensation | Linear VOUT ramp over ~550 μs prevents inrush current; eliminates need for external compensation network or soft-start capacitor. |
| Robust protection suite | Includes undervoltage lockout (2.15 V), thermal shutdown (150°C), current limit (1.1–1.5 A PFET peak), and short-circuit frequency foldback. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADP2108ACBZ-1.2-R7 | No internal discharge switch; otherwise identical specs, pinout, and package. | Not suitable where automatic VOUT discharge is required for safe power sequencing or I/O isolation. | Select ADP2108ACBZ-1.2-R7 only if discharge functionality is unnecessary and cost reduction is prioritized. |
| TPS62231DRYR | 3 MHz, 600 mA, 1.2 V fixed output; 12 μA IQ; 5-pin SOT-563 package (1.6 × 1.6 mm); no discharge switch. | Larger footprint and different pinout; lacks discharge function but offers lower quiescent current. | Choose TPS62231DRYR when board area allows SOT-563 and discharge is handled externally or omitted. |
Compared with ADP2109ACBZ-1.2-R7, ADP2108ACBZ-1.2-R7 removes the discharge switch to reduce complexity and cost, while TPS62231DRYR trades WLCSP miniaturization for slightly lower IQ and a more widely supported package - making ADP2109ACBZ-1.2-R7 uniquely suited for space-constrained, sequenced-power applications requiring automatic output discharge.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the ADP2109ACBZ-1.2-R7 under varying load and temperature?
The ADP2109ACBZ-1.2-R7 guarantees ±2% output voltage accuracy in PWM mode at 25°C, and ±2.5% across the full −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range and 2.3 V–5.5 V input voltage range. This is achieved via laser-trimmed internal feedback and stable bandgap reference, ensuring reliable core rail regulation for sensitive digital loads without external trimming.
Does the ADP2109ACBZ-1.2-R7 require external compensation components?
No, the ADP2109ACBZ-1.2-R7 features fully internal compensation - no external RC network or compensation capacitor is needed. Its current-mode architecture and factory-tuned loop response ensure stability with standard 0.7–3 μH inductors and 4.7–10 μF ceramic output capacitors, simplifying design and reducing BOM count.
How does the power save mode (PSM) of the ADP2109ACBZ-1.2-R7 improve light-load efficiency?
The ADP2109ACBZ-1.2-R7 enters power save mode below 80 mA load, switching from fixed-frequency PWM to a hysteretic control scheme that reduces switching activity and gate drive losses. This lowers quiescent current to ~18 μA and maintains >85% efficiency at 1 mA load - significantly extending battery life in standby or idle states compared to forced-PWM converters.
What is the purpose and behavior of the internal discharge switch in the ADP2109ACBZ-1.2-R7?
The ADP2109ACBZ-1.2-R7 integrates a 150 Ω NMOS discharge switch between FB and GND. It activates automatically when EN is pulled low, during UVLO, or in thermal shutdown - discharging the output capacitor from 1.2 V to <100 mV in ~200 μs. This prevents back-powering of upstream circuitry and ensures safe, predictable power-down sequencing.
Can the ADP2109ACBZ-1.2-R7 operate with input voltages below 2.3 V?
No - the ADP2109ACBZ-1.2-R7 has an absolute minimum input voltage of 2.3 V and incorporates undervoltage lockout (UVLO) that disables operation when VIN falls below 2.15 V (typical). Attempting to operate below 2.3 V risks regulation loss, erratic switching, or device shutdown; it is not rated for sub-2.3 V operation even in 100% duty cycle mode.
