Product details
Overview
ADP2118ACPZ-3.3-R7 from Analog Devices is a 3 A, synchronous step-down DC-DC regulator in a 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP package, operating at fixed 1.2 MHz or 600 kHz switching frequency with ±1.5% output voltage accuracy. It delivers 3.3 V output from 2.3–5.5 V input, integrates 75 mΩ high-side and 40 mΩ low-side MOSFETs, and supports PFM mode for light-load efficiency-used in point-of-load power for FPGA I/O rails.
For engineers reviewing the ADP2118ACPZ-3.3-R7 datasheet, ADP2118ACPZ-3.3-R7 pinout, ADP2118ACPZ-3.3-R7 application, or ADP2118ACPZ-3.3-R7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3 A continuous current capability, integrated soft start, power-good output, voltage tracking input, and thermal/overcurrent/UVLO protection features.
Technical Context
The ADP2118ACPZ-3.3-R7 employs a current-mode PWM control architecture with slope compensation to ensure stability up to 100% duty cycle. Its dual-mode operation-fixed-frequency PWM above ~1 A load and pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) below-enables high efficiency across full and light loads.
It integrates a precision 0.6 V reference, 2048-cycle soft-start timer, and tracking input that regulates output to follow an external master voltage. Protection includes hiccup-mode overcurrent response, 140°C thermal shutdown with 15°C hysteresis, and OVP triggered at FB > 0.66 V for ≥16 clock cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 3 A continuous - supports high-current FPGA I/O or processor core rails without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, USB 5 V, and 3.3 V system rails. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V - eliminates external feedback resistors; ±1.5% accuracy ensures stable logic-level compliance. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.2 MHz (default) or 600 kHz - higher frequency enables smaller inductors (e.g., 1 µH); selectable via FREQ pin. |
| Integrated FETs | 75 mΩ P-FET / 40 mΩ N-FET - reduces conduction loss and simplifies layout versus external MOSFET solutions. |
| Protection Features | UVLO (2.2 V rising), OVP (FB > 0.66 V), OCP (5.2 A peak), thermal shutdown (140°C) - autonomous fault recovery without host intervention. |
| Soft Start | 2048 clock cycles - limits inrush current during startup; supports precharged output without reverse inductor current. |
Pinout & Package
ADP2118ACPZ-3.3-R7 is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-lead, 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP package with exposed pad soldered to PGND for optimal thermal dissipation (θJA = 38.3°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | SYNC/MODE | Synchronizes switching to external clock (600 kHz–1.4 MHz) or selects CCM/PFM mode; logic level determines operation. |
| 2 | FREQ | Selects 600 kHz (GND) or 1.2 MHz (VIN) internal oscillator frequency; sets phase shift (0°/180°) during sync. |
| 3 | TRK | Voltage tracking input - enables output to follow master rail (e.g., FPGA core voltage) via resistor divider. |
| 4 | FB | Feedback sense - internally tied to 3.3 V output; unused in fixed-voltage variants but retains regulation loop integrity. |
| 5 | GND | Analog ground reference - separates signal return from high-current PGND paths to minimize noise coupling. |
| 6–8 | PGND | Power ground - connects to output capacitor return and inductor ground; must be low-impedance plane under exposed pad. |
| 9–11 | SW | Switch node - drives external inductor; high di/dt path requiring tight layout and minimized loop area. |
| 12–13 | PVIN | Power input - supplies high-side switch; bypassed to PGND with ceramic capacitor for transient current delivery. |
| 14 | VIN | Bias supply - powers internal circuitry; connected via 10 Ω resistor to PVIN to isolate noise from control logic. |
| 15 | EN | Precision enable - 1.2 V threshold with 100 mV hysteresis; internal 1 MΩ pull-down prevents floating activation. |
| 16 | PGOOD | Open-drain power-good - asserts after soft start when output reaches 105–115% of nominal (3.3 V), with 2.5% hysteresis. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Power Stage | 75 mΩ P-FET + 40 mΩ N-FET - eliminates external MOSFETs and gate drivers, reducing BOM count and board space. |
| Mode Selection | Configurable PWM/PFM via SYNC/MODE pin - maintains >85% efficiency down to 10 mA load without manual control. |
| Voltage Tracking | TRK input with three-input error amplifier - enables precise sequencing and ratio-matching between multiple rails (e.g., FPGA core/I/O). |
| Robust Protection Suite | Hiccup-mode OCP, 140°C thermal shutdown with 15°C hysteresis, and UVLO with 100 mV hysteresis - ensures safe operation under fault conditions. |
| Precharged Output Startup | Zero-current detection prevents reverse inductor current - allows hot-plug or brownout recovery without discharging downstream capacitance. |

|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62130ARGTR | 3 A, 3–17 V input, adjustable 0.9–6.05 V output; 2.5 MHz switching; no TRK or PFM mode. | Requires external feedback resistors; better suited for wide-input industrial rails than 3.3 V fixed-output systems. | Choose when input exceeds 5.5 V or adjustable output is needed; avoid if voltage tracking or ultra-low-light-load efficiency is required. |

FAQ
What is the switching frequency configuration for ADP2118ACPZ-3.3-R7?
The ADP2118ACPZ-3.3-R7 defaults to 1.2 MHz operation when the FREQ pin is tied to VIN; connecting FREQ to GND selects 600 kHz. Both frequencies are factory-trimmed and stable across temperature. The device also supports external synchronization from 600 kHz to 1.4 MHz via the SYNC/MODE pin, with phase alignment controlled by the FREQ pin state.
Does ADP2118ACPZ-3.3-R7 require external feedback resistors?
No. ADP2118ACPZ-3.3-R7 is a fixed-output variant with internal resistor divider setting VOUT = 3.3 V; the FB pin is internally connected to the output. External resistors are unnecessary, reducing component count and layout complexity while maintaining ±1.5% output accuracy over line, load, and temperature.
How does the voltage tracking (TRK) function operate in ADP2118ACPZ-3.3-R7?
The TRK pin accepts an external voltage (0–600 mV) and biases the error amplifier's positive input. When used with a resistor divider from a master rail (e.g., 1.2 V FPGA core), ADP2118ACPZ-3.3-R7 regulates its 3.3 V output to match the scaled master voltage-enabling precise power sequencing and ratio tracking without external op-amps or DACs.
What protection features are integrated into ADP2118ACPZ-3.3-R7?
ADP2118ACPZ-3.3-R7 includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO, 2.2 V rising), overvoltage protection (OVP, triggered at FB > 0.66 V), overcurrent protection (5.2 A peak, hiccup mode), and thermal shutdown (140°C with 15°C hysteresis). All protections auto-recover without host intervention, ensuring robust operation in unattended systems.
Can ADP2118ACPZ-3.3-R7 start up into a precharged output?
Yes. ADP2118ACPZ-3.3-R7 detects precharged output voltage via the FB pin and disables the high-side switch until the soft-start voltage exceeds the FB level-preventing reverse inductor current and uncontrolled discharge of downstream capacitors. This enables safe hot-swap and brownout recovery scenarios.
