Product details
Overview
ADP2118ACPZ-R7 from Analog Devices is a 3 A, synchronous step-down DC-DC regulator in a 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP package, operating from 2.3 V to 5.5 V input and delivering adjustable output from 0.6 V to VIN with ±1.5% accuracy. It features selectable 600 kHz/1.2 MHz switching, current-mode control, integrated 75 mΩ/40 mΩ FETs, and power-good output - deployed in point-of-load conversion for FPGA core supplies.
For engineers reviewing the ADP2118ACPZ-R7 datasheet, ADP2118ACPZ-R7 pinout, ADP2118ACPZ-R7 application, or ADP2118ACPZ-R7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its adjustable output voltage range (0.6 V–VIN), dual-mode PWM/PFM operation, thermal shutdown at 140°C, soft-start timing (2048 clock cycles), and synchronization capability across 600 kHz–1.4 MHz.
Technical Context
The ADP2118ACPZ-R7 implements a fixed-frequency, peak current-mode PWM architecture with internal slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation beyond 50% duty cycle. Its transconductance error amplifier compares FB voltage against a 0.6 V reference and supports tracking via TRK pin with ±10 mV offset tolerance.
It integrates high-side P-channel and low-side N-channel MOSFETs (75 mΩ/40 mΩ typical RDS(on)), delivers up to 3 A continuous output, and includes hiccup-mode overcurrent protection triggered after 10 consecutive current-limit violations - with automatic restart after 4096 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 boost stages. |
| 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 Range | 0.6 V to VIN - enables precise core voltage scaling down to sub-1 V for modern SoCs and ASICs. |
| Switching Frequency | 600 kHz or 1.2 MHz (pin-selectable); synchronizable 600 kHz–1.4 MHz - reduces EMI by aligning with system clocks. |
| Feedback Accuracy | ±1.5% over temperature - ensures stable regulation under load and thermal variation. |
| Quiescent Current | 680–900 µA (switching, no load) - minimizes standby power in always-on subsystems. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 140°C threshold with 15°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
ADP2118ACPZ-R7 is housed in a 16-lead, 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP package with exposed thermal pad (EPAD) soldered to PGND for optimal heat dissipation. Pin 17 (EPAD) must be connected to the PCB ground plane via thermal vias per JEDEC 4-layer board guidelines (θJA = 38.3°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SYNC/MODE | Synchronization & mode control input | Accepts external clock (600 kHz–1.4 MHz) or selects CCM/PFM operation; determines phase shift (0°/180°) when synchronized. |
| FREQ | Frequency selection | Logic-high → 1.2 MHz; logic-low → 600 kHz - sets base switching frequency before sync override. |
| TRK | Voltage tracking input | Enables output to follow master rail (e.g., FPGA core/I/O sequencing); bias current ≤100 nA minimizes divider loading. |
| FB | Feedback voltage sense | Monitors resistor-divider output; regulates to 0.6 V reference with ±1.5% accuracy - defines final output voltage. |
| SW | Switch node output (pins 9,10,11) | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires tight layout and low-inductance routing. |
| PGND (pins 6,7,8) | Power ground return | Low-impedance path for inductor current return and output capacitor discharge - separate from analog GND. |
| VIN (pin 14) | Bias supply input | Powers internal circuitry; bypassed with 0.1 µF capacitor and isolated from PVIN via 10 Ω resistor to reduce noise coupling. |
| EN (pin 15) | Precision enable input | 1.2 V typical turn-on threshold with 100 mV hysteresis; internal 1 MΩ pull-down prevents floating. |
| PGOOD (pin 16) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts when FB reaches 105–115% of target; 16-cycle deglitch prevents false triggers during transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Power FETs | 75 mΩ high-side P-MOSFET + 40 mΩ low-side N-MOSFET - eliminates external switch losses and simplifies BOM. |
| Adjustable Soft Start | Fixed 2048-clock-cycle ramp - limits inrush current without requiring external capacitor or resistor tuning. |
| Precharged Output Startup | Prevents reverse inductor current when VOUT > VREF at enable - avoids discharging pre-biased rails in multi-rail systems. |
| Voltage Tracking | TRK pin accepts 0–600 mV input with ±10 mV offset - enables precise sequencing between core and I/O supplies for FPGAs/ASICs. |
| Comprehensive Protection | UVLO (2.1 V fall / 2.2 V rise), OVP (0.66 V FB threshold), OCP (5.2 A peak limit), thermal shutdown (140°C) - ensures robust field operation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62130ARGTR | 3 A, 3–17 V input, fixed 1.2 V output; no adjustable FB, no TRK pin; 2.25 MHz switching. | Lacks voltage tracking and adjustable output - suitable only for fixed-voltage applications where sequencing is handled externally. | Select when board space is critical (2 mm × 2 mm QFN) and output voltage is static; not viable for adaptive core supplies. |
| RTQ2132BGQW | 3 A, 2.5–5.5 V input, 0.6–5.5 V adjustable output; 1.5 MHz max; includes spread-spectrum modulation. | Higher max switching frequency and built-in spread spectrum - better for EMI-sensitive medical displays but lacks hiccup-mode OCP. | Prefer for ultra-low EMI environments; verify OCP behavior matches fault-tolerance requirements of industrial PLCs. |
Compared with TPS62130ARGTR and RTQ2132BGQW, the ADP2118ACPZ-R7 uniquely combines adjustable output (0.6 V–VIN), precision tracking (TRK), and hiccup-mode overcurrent protection - making it optimal for FPGA/ASIC power sequencing where voltage margining and fault recovery are critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum output voltage supported by the ADP2118ACPZ-R7?
The ADP2118ACPZ-R7 supports an output voltage as low as 0.6 V, set by the internal 0.6 V feedback reference and adjustable via external resistor divider on the FB pin. This enables direct powering of sub-1 V processor cores and advanced SoCs without external amplification or level-shifting circuitry.
Does the ADP2118ACPZ-R7 support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes, the ADP2118ACPZ-R7 supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC/MODE pin across 600 kHz to 1.4 MHz. When synchronized, it operates exclusively in continuous conduction mode (CCM), and phase shift (0° or 180°) is selected by the logic state of the FREQ pin - enabling EMI reduction in multi-regulator systems.
How does the ADP2118ACPZ-R7 handle startup into a precharged output?
The ADP2118ACPZ-R7 prevents reverse inductor current during startup into a precharged output by holding the high-side switch off until the soft-start voltage exceeds the FB pin voltage. This avoids discharging the pre-biased rail - critical in multi-rail systems where sequencing order must be preserved.
What protection features are integrated into the ADP2118ACPZ-R7?
The ADP2118ACPZ-R7 integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO), overvoltage protection (OVP), overcurrent protection (OCP) with hiccup-mode recovery, thermal shutdown (140°C), and integrated soft start. These ensure safe operation under fault conditions including input brownout, output short, and sustained overload - without requiring external supervision circuitry.
Can the ADP2118ACPZ-R7 operate in pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) mode?
Yes, the ADP2118ACPZ-R7 supports PFM mode for improved light-load efficiency. When the SYNC/MODE pin is pulled low, PFM is enabled and automatically engages below the pulse-skipping threshold current. In this mode, switching frequency decreases dynamically to maintain regulation - reducing quiescent current to ~100 µA at no load.
