Product details
Overview
ADP2380AREZ from Analog Devices is a synchronous step-down DC-DC regulator integrating a 44 mΩ high-side MOSFET and low-side gate driver, delivering up to 4 A continuous output current with 0.6 V ±1% reference accuracy over −40°C to +125°C. It operates from 4.5 V to 20 V input, supports programmable switching frequency from 250 kHz to 1.4 MHz, and features power-good output and external compensation for point-of-load conversion in industrial and communications infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the ADP2380AREZ datasheet, ADP2380AREZ pinout, ADP2380AREZ application, or ADP2380AREZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-lead TSSOP_EP package, 180° out-of-phase synchronization capability, programmable UVLO, startup into precharged output, and compatibility with external N-channel low-side MOSFETs such as FDS6298.
Technical Context
The ADP2380AREZ uses fixed-frequency peak current-mode control with integrated high-side switch and external low-side driver, enabling precise regulation down to 0.6 V. Its internal 8 V VREG supplies bias for gate drive and analog circuitry, while bootstrap circuitry generates ~5 V between BST and SW for high-side gate turn-on.
It implements multiple protection mechanisms: hiccup-mode overcurrent protection triggered at ≥7 A peak current limit, thermal shutdown at 150°C with 25°C hysteresis, overvoltage protection at 0.7 V FB threshold, and programmable undervoltage lockout via external resistor divider on the UVLO pin.
Key Specifications

| Power-Good Output | Open-drain with 95%/90% FB thresholds and deglitch timing - provides reliable sequencing signal for downstream logic. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C with 25°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
The ADP2380AREZ is housed in a 16-lead TSSOP_EP package with exposed pad for thermal dissipation. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large copper ground plane per JEDEC J-STD-020 guidelines (θJA = 39.48°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PVIN (1,2) | Power Input | Primary input supply connection; requires local ceramic bypass capacitor to PGND. |
| UVLO (3) | Undervoltage Lockout Control | External resistor divider sets enable threshold; overrides internal 4.5 V PVIN UVLO. |
| PGOOD (4) | Power-Good Status | Open-drain output indicating regulated output; requires external pull-up resistor (10–100 kΩ). |
| EN/SS (7) | Enable & Soft Start | Logic-enable input (0.5 V threshold); capacitor to GND programs soft start ramp time. |
| RT (5) | Frequency Programming | Resistor-to-GND sets switching frequency; open = 540 kHz, grounded = 290 kHz. |
| SYNC (6) | External Clock Input | Accepts 250 kHz–1.4 MHz clock; forces 180° out-of-phase operation for noise reduction. |
| FB (9) | Feedback Sense | Connects to resistor divider from VOUT; regulates output to 0.6 V reference. |
| COMP (8) | Error Amplifier Output | External RC network connects COMP to FB for loop compensation tuning. |
| LD (13) | Low-Side Gate Driver | Drives external N-MOSFET gate; includes break-before-make logic to prevent shoot-through. |
| SW (14,15) | Switch Node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current; requires low-inductance layout. |
| BST (16) | Bootstrap Supply | Capacitor between BST and SW provides gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET. |
| VREG (12) | Internal Regulator Output | 8 V ±0.3 V supply for internal circuits; requires 1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| PGND (11) | Power Ground | Return path for high-current switching paths; separate from analog GND (Pin 10) for noise isolation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Switching Frequency | 250 kHz–1.4 MHz via RT resistor or SYNC pin - enables EMI compliance and layout flexibility. |
| Startup into Precharged Output | Prevents reverse current flow during hot-plug scenarios - eliminates need for external reverse-blocking diode. |
| External Compensation | COMP pin allows full control of loop stability - supports wide range of output capacitors and inductors. |
| 180° Out-of-Phase Synchronization | Reduces input ripple current when multiple ADP2380AREZ units operate in parallel - lowers bulk capacitor stress. |
| Hiccup-Mode Overcurrent Protection | Enters 4096-cycle shutdown after 10 consecutive current-limit events - prevents thermal runaway under short-circuit conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5119MTX/NOPB | Requires external high- and low-side MOSFETs; no integrated high-side switch; wider input range (3 V to 100 V). | Suitable for higher-voltage industrial applications where 20 V max input is insufficient. | Select LM5119MTX/NOPB when input exceeds 20 V or when discrete MOSFET optimization is required. |
| TPS544B20RJTR | Integrated dual MOSFETs; fixed 500 kHz frequency; no external low-side driver; smaller 4 mm × 4 mm QFN package. | Better suited for space-constrained designs where board area is critical and 4 A output is sufficient. | Choose TPS544B20RJTR for compact, fully integrated solutions without need for external low-side FET selection. |
Compared with LM5119MTX/NOPB and TPS544B20RJTR, the ADP2380AREZ uniquely combines an integrated 44 mΩ high-side MOSFET with a dedicated low-side gate driver output, enabling flexible external FET selection for optimized efficiency, thermal performance, or cost-while maintaining full programmability of frequency, UVLO, and soft start.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the ADP2380AREZ?
The ADP2380AREZ delivers up to 4 A of continuous output current under specified thermal conditions. This rating assumes proper PCB layout with the exposed pad soldered to a large copper ground plane (θJA = 39.48°C/W), ambient temperature ≤85°C, and appropriate external low-side MOSFET selection (e.g., FDS6298). Peak current limit is 7 A, but sustained operation above 4 A requires derating based on thermal performance.
Does the ADP2380AREZ integrate both high-side and low-side power switches?
No, the ADP2380AREZ integrates only a 44 mΩ high-side N-channel MOSFET. It provides a dedicated low-side gate driver output (LD pin) to control an external N-channel MOSFET. This architecture allows designers to select optimal low-side FETs for specific efficiency, thermal, or cost requirements-unlike fully integrated buck converters that fix both switches.
How is the switching frequency programmed on the ADP2380AREZ?
The ADP2380AREZ switching frequency is programmed via the RT pin: grounding RT sets 290 kHz, leaving RT open sets 540 kHz, and connecting a resistor (e.g., 100 kΩ for 500 kHz) between RT and GND enables precise adjustment from 250 kHz to 1.4 MHz using fSW = 57,600 / ROSC (kHz). The SYNC pin also accepts external clocks in the same frequency range for synchronized multi-rail operation.
Can the ADP2380AREZ start up safely when the output is already precharged?
Yes, the ADP2380AREZ supports startup into a precharged output. When enabled, it monitors the FB pin voltage and prevents the low-side MOSFET from turning on until the internal soft-start voltage exceeds the precharged output level-avoiding reverse current flow and eliminating the need for external reverse-blocking diodes in hot-swap applications.
What protection features does the ADP2380AREZ include?
The ADP2380AREZ includes overcurrent protection (hiccup mode at ≥7 A peak), overvoltage protection (shuts down if FB ≥0.7 V), thermal shutdown (150°C with 25°C hysteresis), programmable undervoltage lockout (via UVLO pin), and negative current-limit protection (20 mV threshold on low-side FET). All protections are internally implemented without requiring external components.
