Product details
Overview
ADP2126ACDZ-1.20R7 from Analog Devices is a fixed-output, synchronous step-down DC-to-DC converter delivering 500 mA at 1.20 V with 6 MHz switching frequency, ultralow 0.33 mm profile, and external clock enable (6–27 MHz) for EMI-sensitive portable power rails in camera modules and digital audio systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADP2126ACDZ-1.20R7 datasheet, ADP2126ACDZ-1.20R7 pinout, ADP2126ACDZ-1.20R7 application, or ADP2126ACDZ-1.20R7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.1–5.5 V input range, auto/PWM mode select via MODE pin, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, internal soft start, and output-to-ground short-circuit protection.
Technical Context
The ADP2126ACDZ-1.20R7 uses a hybrid voltage-mode PWM control scheme with cycle-by-cycle current limiting and internal compensation, enabling stable regulation across 2.1–5.5 V input and 0–500 mA load. Its 6 MHz fixed-frequency operation supports sub-1 mm² layout with 1.0 µH inductors and 2.2 µF ceramic capacitors.
It implements dual-mode operation: forced PWM maintains constant frequency under all loads, while auto mode dynamically switches to PFM at light loads using MODE pin control-reducing quiescent current to 300–500 µA and improving battery life. Spread-spectrum modulation dithers switching frequency ±12% to lower peak EMI emissions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.20 V ±2% in PWM mode; ±3% in PFM mode-ensures precise core voltage for low-power processors and image sensors. |
| Max Output Current | 500 mA continuous-supports high-efficiency power delivery to camera ISPs and audio codecs without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.1 V to 5.5 V-compatible with single Li+/Li-polymer cells, triple-alkaline, or NiMH batteries in space-constrained handheld devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 6 MHz nominal (4.8–6.8 MHz range) with spread spectrum-enables use of tiny 1.0 µH multilayer inductors and reduces EMI filtering requirements. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.3 µA typical-minimizes battery drain during system sleep in always-on camera modules and wearable audio. |
| Quiescent Current | 300–500 µA in auto mode; 12 mA in PWM mode-directly impacts runtime in portable applications with variable load profiles. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 146°C activation with 13°C hysteresis-protects die integrity during sustained high-current operation in sealed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
ADP2126ACDZ-1.20R7 uses a 6-ball bumped chip package (BUMPED_CHIP), 1.2 mm × 1.2 mm footprint, 0.33 mm max height-optimized for ultrathin mobile PCBs with minimal board area consumption.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 (MODE) | Mode select input | Pull low for auto (PFM/PWM) mode; pull high for forced PWM-enables dynamic efficiency optimization without firmware intervention. |
| A2 (VIN) | Power supply input | Accepts 2.1–5.5 V input; powers internal circuitry and high-side PMOS gate driver-requires local 2.2 µF ceramic decoupling. |
| B1 (SW) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries pulsed current up to 1 A peak-must be routed with low-inductance, wide copper for thermal and EMI performance. |
| B2 (EXTCLK) | External clock enable | Accepts 6–27 MHz clock or logic-high signal (≥1.3 V); enables startup and shutdown control-eliminates need for dedicated enable IC in clock-synchronized systems. |
| C1 (FB) | Feedback input | Internally connected to 1.20 V reference; no external resistor divider required-simplifies design and improves accuracy vs. adjustable regulators. |
| C2 (GND) | Ground reference | System ground return for control loop and power stage-must be tied to low-impedance PGND plane beneath IC for stability and noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated PMOS/NMOS power stage eliminates external Schottky diode-reduces conduction loss and improves light-load efficiency by >15% vs. asynchronous designs. |
| Spread-spectrum modulation | ±12% frequency dithering over 6 MHz center-lowers peak EMI by up to 10 dB, easing FCC/CE compliance in RF-dense mobile platforms. |
| Internal soft start | Gradual ramp of peak current limit during startup-prevents input rail collapse and inrush into 2.2 µF output capacitor, eliminating need for external soft-start circuitry. |
| Output short-circuit protection | Auto-retry shutdown at <0.52 V output-limits fault power to <10 mW during GND shorts, preventing thermal runaway and enabling safe recovery after fault removal. |
| Undervoltage lockout | Rising threshold 2.1 V ±0.2 V with 100 mV hysteresis-ensures clean startup only when battery is sufficiently charged, avoiding brownout-induced system resets. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62260DRVR | Fixed 1.2 V output; 2.05–6.0 V input; 3 MHz max switching frequency; 300 mA max output; 6-pin WSON package (1.5 × 1.5 mm, 0.75 mm height). | Limited to 300 mA and lower frequency-less suitable for high-current camera ISPs but offers wider input range and simpler enable logic. | Select TPS62260DRVR if input exceeds 5.5 V or board height budget allows 0.75 mm; not drop-in due to lower current and different pinout. |
| RT8059GJ6 | Fixed 1.2 V output; 2.5–5.5 V input; 6 MHz switching; 600 mA max output; 6-pin DFN (1.5 × 1.5 mm, 0.55 mm height); no spread spectrum or EXTCLK enable. | Higher current rating but lacks external clock sync and EMI reduction-better for cost-sensitive non-RF applications where timing alignment isn't required. | Choose RT8059GJ6 for higher load margin in non-EMI-critical audio subsystems; requires redesign for clock synchronization and lacks auto-mode PFM. |
Compared with TPS62260DRVR and RT8059GJ6, ADP2126ACDZ-1.20R7 uniquely combines 500 mA capability, 0.33 mm height, spread-spectrum EMI control, and external clock enable-making it optimal for space- and noise-constrained mobile imaging and audio power rails where timing coordination and ultra-low profile are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the ADP2126ACDZ-1.20R7?
The ADP2126ACDZ-1.20R7 delivers up to 500 mA continuous output current across its full input voltage range (2.1 V to 5.5 V) and operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). This rating is guaranteed under thermal conditions meeting the specified θJA of 105°C/W on a 4-layer PCB. Exceeding this current may trigger current-limit protection or thermal shutdown.
Does the ADP2126ACDZ-1.20R7 require external feedback resistors?
No, the ADP2126ACDZ-1.20R7 does not require external feedback resistors. It features a factory-trimmed 1.20 V output with internal feedback network connected to the FB pin. The FB pin is used solely for loop stability and must be connected directly to the output capacitor's positive terminal-no resistor divider is needed or supported.
How does the MODE pin affect operation of the ADP2126ACDZ-1.20R7?
The MODE pin on the ADP2126ACDZ-1.20R7 selects between two operating modes: pulling MODE low enables auto mode (PFM at light loads, PWM at medium/heavy loads), while pulling MODE high forces continuous PWM mode regardless of load. Leaving MODE floating is prohibited-it must be actively pulled to VIN or GND via a resistor.
Can the ADP2126ACDZ-1.20R7 be enabled using a logic-level signal instead of an external clock?
Logic-level enable is available only on certain ADP2126/ADP2127 variants-not universally guaranteed for ADP2126ACDZ-1.20R7. Per the datasheet, this feature depends on specific ordering options. For ADP2126ACDZ-1.20R7, external clock (6–27 MHz) is the primary enable method; verify variant-specific enable capability in the official Analog Devices ordering guide before design-in.
What protection features are integrated into the ADP2126ACDZ-1.20R7?
The ADP2126ACDZ-1.20R7 integrates output-to-ground short-circuit protection (SCP), cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting, undervoltage lockout (UVLO), thermal shutdown (active in PWM mode only), and internal soft start. SCP triggers automatic retry shutdown below 0.52 V output; UVLO activates at 2.1 V rising threshold with 100 mV hysteresis to prevent erratic startup.
