Product details
Overview
ADP2109ACBZ-1.8-R7 from Analog Devices is a fixed-output 1.8 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 battery-powered portable electronics requiring fast transient response and automatic output discharge on shutdown.
For engineers reviewing the ADP2109ACBZ-1.8-R7 datasheet, ADP2109ACBZ-1.8-R7 pinout, ADP2109ACBZ-1.8-R7 application, or ADP2109ACBZ-1.8-R7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.3–5.5 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 0.7–3 μH inductors and 4.7–10 μF ceramic capacitors.
Technical Context
The ADP2109ACBZ-1.8-R7 employs a high-speed current-mode PWM architecture with fixed 3 MHz oscillator, enabling stable regulation and fast line/load transient response. Its integrated PFET/NFET synchronous rectifier and internal compensation eliminate external loop components.
It operates in two distinct modes: fixed-frequency PWM (≥80 mA load) for tight regulation and low ripple, and hysteretic power save mode (<80 mA) to minimize light-load losses - with seamless transitions and no external mode control required. The internal discharge switch activates during shutdown, UVLO, or thermal shutdown to safely bleed the output capacitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±2% (PWM mode); enables direct replacement of LDOs in 1.8 V core/logic rails without feedback resistor network. |
| Max Output Current | 600 mA across full 2.3–5.5 V input range; supports single Li+/Li-Po cells or dual alkaline/NiMH batteries. |
| Switching Frequency | 3.0 MHz (±0.5 MHz); allows use of sub-3 mm² total solution size with 1 μH inductor and 4.7–10 μF X5R/X7R ceramics. |
| Quiescent Current | 18 μA (typical); extends battery runtime in always-on or low-duty-cycle portable devices like GPS units and media players. |
| Discharge Switch RDS(ON) | 150 Ω (at VOUT = 1.0 V); discharges 10 μF output cap to <100 mV in ~200 μs, preventing residual voltage hazards during system reset. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C with 20°C hysteresis; protects silicon integrity under sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Enable Threshold | EN high ≥1.2 V, low ≤0.4 V; compatible with standard 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIOs without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-ball Wafer-Level Chip Scale Package (WLCSP), 0.8 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.4 mm, 0.4 mm ball pitch, bottom-side solder balls. Requires microvia or plated-through-hole PCB stack-up for reliable assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (A1) | Input Power Supply | Connects to 2.3–5.5 V source; must be bypassed with ≥2.2 μF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to A1 ball to suppress high-frequency switching noise. |
| GND (A2) | Power Ground Reference | Common return for input/output capacitors and IC substrate; requires low-inductance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| SW (B) | Switch Node | Drain of internal PFET and source of NFET synchronous rectifier; connects directly to inductor; high dv/dt node requiring minimal trace area and guard ring. |
| EN (C1) | Logic Enable Input | Active-high digital control; pulls device into <1 μA shutdown when low; supports sequencing and dynamic power gating. |
| FB (C2) | Feedback Input | Internally connected to 1.8 V reference; not externally configurable - eliminates external resistor divider and associated leakage/error sources. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal Synchronous Rectifier | Eliminates external Schottky diode, reducing conduction loss and board area - critical for >90% efficiency at 3.6 VIN/1.8 VOUT. |
| Integrated Discharge Switch | 150 Ω NMOS switch tied to FB pin; automatically discharges output on EN deassertion, UVLO, or thermal fault - avoids need for external bleed circuitry. |
| Current-Mode Control | Enables cycle-by-cycle current limiting and inherent stability with minimal external compensation - simplifies design for wide input/output ranges. |
| 100% Duty-Cycle Operation | PFET remains fully on when input drops near output voltage; maintains regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + 0.1 V - essential for Li+ battery end-of-discharge support. |
| Internal Soft Start | Linear output ramp prevents inrush current spikes into large output caps; eliminates need for external soft-start timing capacitor or resistor. |

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-1.8-R7 | No internal discharge switch; identical 1.8 V output, 600 mA rating, 3 MHz frequency, and WLCSP package. | Lacks automatic output discharge - requires external circuit if system-level reset safety mandates VOUT collapse on shutdown. | Select when discharge function is unnecessary and cost minimization is prioritized; same layout but missing discharge capability. |
| TPS62231DRVR | TI part: 1.8 V fixed, 600 mA, 3.6 MHz, 12 μA IQ, but uses 6-pin WSON (2.0 × 2.0 mm), no discharge switch. | Higher switching frequency allows smaller inductor but larger footprint; lacks discharge functionality and has different enable threshold (0.4 V low). | Choose for higher-frequency designs where board space permits larger package; verify EN compatibility and add external discharge if needed. |
Compared with ADP2109ACBZ-1.8-R7, ADP2108ACBZ-1.8-R7 saves cost but forfeits safe discharge, while TPS62231DRVR offers lower IQ and higher fSW at the expense of package size and missing discharge - making ADP2109ACBZ-1.8-R7 uniquely suited for space-constrained, safety-critical portable systems requiring guaranteed VOUT collapse.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the ADP2109ACBZ-1.8-R7 can handle?
The ADP2109ACBZ-1.8-R7 supports an absolute maximum input voltage of +6.5 V, but its operational input range is specified from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. Exceeding 5.5 V may cause permanent damage or violate reliability limits defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. For continuous operation, maintain VIN within 2.3–5.5 V to ensure proper UVLO behavior, thermal stability, and output accuracy. The ADP2109ACBZ-1.8-R7 is optimized for single-cell Li+/Li-Po and multi-cell alkaline/NiMH sources.
Does the ADP2109ACBZ-1.8-R7 require external feedback resistors?
No, the ADP2109ACBZ-1.8-R7 does not require external feedback resistors. It is a fixed-output 1.8 V converter with the feedback reference internally trimmed and connected directly to the FB pin. This eliminates resistor tolerance errors, temperature drift, and board space typically consumed by a divider network - simplifying layout and improving long-term output voltage stability. The FB pin is not user-accessible for adjustment; it serves solely as the internal error amplifier input node.
How does the power save mode work in the ADP2109ACBZ-1.8-R7?
The ADP2109ACBZ-1.8-R7 enters power save mode automatically when load current falls below 80 mA. In this mode, it switches from fixed-frequency PWM to a hysteretic control scheme that reduces switching activity, lowering quiescent current to ~18 μA. Output voltage ripple increases slightly (±1.5% around nominal), but efficiency improves significantly at light loads. The ADP2109ACBZ-1.8-R7 transitions seamlessly back to PWM mode when load exceeds 85 mA - no external control or configuration is needed.
Can the ADP2109ACBZ-1.8-R7 operate with a 1.0 μH inductor?
Yes, the ADP2109ACBZ-1.8-R7 is fully compatible with a 1.0 μH inductor. The datasheet recommends inductor values between 0.7 μH and 3.0 μH for optimal performance. A 1.0 μH shielded ferrite inductor (e.g., Murata LQM2HPN1R0M or Coilcraft LPS3010-102) provides excellent balance of size, saturation current (>1.5 A), and DCR (<100 mΩ), ensuring stable operation across the full 600 mA load range and minimizing core losses at 3 MHz. Inductor selection must meet ISAT and DCR requirements per the External Component Selection section.
What protection features are built into the ADP2109ACBZ-1.8-R7?
The ADP2109ACBZ-1.8-R7 integrates six key protections: (1) undervoltage lockout (UVLO) triggers at 2.15 V falling to prevent deep battery discharge; (2) thermal shutdown at 150°C with 20°C hysteresis; (3) current limit protecting PFET peak current to 1.1–1.5 A; (4) short-circuit protection via frequency foldback; (5) internal soft start limiting inrush current; and (6) discharge switch activation during shutdown, UVLO, or thermal fault. All functions are autonomous - no external components required.
