Product details
Overview
ADP2384ACPZN-R7 from Analog Devices is a synchronous step-down DC-to-DC regulator with integrated 44 mΩ high-side and 11.6 mΩ low-side MOSFETs, delivering up to 4 A continuous output current across 4.5 V–20 V input range, featuring programmable 200 kHz–1.4 MHz switching frequency and precision 0.6 V ±1% feedback reference-used in intermediate power rail conversion for networking and industrial equipment.
For engineers reviewing the ADP2384ACPZN-R7 datasheet, ADP2384ACPZN-R7 pinout, ADP2384ACPZN-R7 application, or ADP2384ACPZN-R7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its LFCSP-24 (4 mm × 4 mm) thermal performance, external compensation flexibility, 180° out-of-phase synchronization capability, and support for startup into precharged outputs.
Technical Context
The ADP2384ACPZN-R7 employs peak current-mode PWM control with fixed-frequency operation and internal slope compensation, enabling fast transient response and stable regulation across wide load and line variations. Its integrated bootstrap circuit generates a regulated 5 V gate drive between BST and SW pins, while the internal 8 V VREG supplies bias for control logic and error amplifier.
It implements comprehensive protection including undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 4.5 V rising threshold, overvoltage protection (OVP) triggered at 0.7 V FB, hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, and thermal shutdown at 150°C with 25°C hysteresis-ensuring robust operation in demanding embedded power systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 20 V - supports wide-input industrial and telecom rails without external pre-regulation |
| Output Current | 4 A continuous - enables single-chip solution for intermediate bus conversion up to 20 W at 5 V |
| Feedback Reference | 0.6 V ±1% - allows precise low-voltage output setting (e.g., 1.2 V with 1:1 resistor divider) with minimal drift over temperature |
| Switching Frequency | 200 kHz to 1.4 MHz - adjustable via RT resistor or external SYNC clock for EMI optimization and layout flexibility |
| MOSFET RDS(on) | 44 mΩ (HS) / 11.6 mΩ (LS) - minimizes conduction loss and improves full-load efficiency (>90% at 12 VIN/3.3 VOUT) |
| Package | 24-lead LFCSP (4 mm × 4 mm) - exposes SW and GND pads for direct thermal coupling to PCB copper planes |
| Protection Features | UVLO, OVP, OCP (hiccup), SCP, TSD - eliminates need for discrete fault management circuitry |
Pinout & Package
ADP2384ACPZN-R7 is housed in a 24-lead, 4 mm × 4 mm Lead Frame Chip Scale Package (LFCSP_WQ) with dual exposed thermal pads: EP-GND (pin 25) must be soldered to a large PCB ground plane, and EP-SW (pin 26) must be connected directly to SW nodes via short/wide traces or dedicated SW plane for optimal thermal resistance (θJA = 42.6°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| COMP | Error amplifier output | Connects to RC compensation network for loop stability tuning-enables custom bandwidth/phase margin design |
| FB | Feedback voltage sense | Monitors output via resistor divider; regulates VOUT to 0.6 V reference-supports adjustable outputs from 0.6 V to 90% of VIN |
| VREG | Internal 8 V regulator output | Powers internal control circuits; requires 1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for noise immunity and transient response |
| SW | Switch node | Drives external inductor; connects to BST capacitor and EP-SW thermal pad-critical for minimizing switching losses and EMI |
| PGND | Power ground return | Low-side MOSFET source return path; separate from analog GND to avoid noise coupling into control circuitry |
| BST | Bootstrap supply | Provides gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET; requires 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW |
| PVIN | Main power input | Accepts 4.5–20 V input; multiple pins (16–19) reduce trace resistance and improve current handling |
| EN | Precision enable | 1.28 V typical turn-on threshold with 100 mV hysteresis-supports accurate UVLO programming or auto-start when tied to PVIN |
| PGOOD | Open-drain power-good | Indicates VOUT within ±5% regulation window after deglitch timing (1024 clocks); requires external pull-up resistor (10–100 kΩ) |
| RT | Frequency set | Resistor-to-GND sets fSW; 100 kΩ yields 600 kHz-enables EMI spread-spectrum or noise-sensitive system coordination |
| SYNC | External clock sync | Accepts 200 kHz–1.4 MHz clock; forces 180° phase shift-essential for multi-rail interleaving in dense power systems |
| SS | Soft start control | Capacitor-to-GND extends ramp time; internal soft start = 1600 clock cycles (~2.7 ms at 600 kHz)-prevents inrush into precharged loads |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated dual-MOSFET power stage | Eliminates external high-side/low-side drivers and reduces BOM count by 4+ components versus controller-based solutions |
| External compensation | Enables full control over loop dynamics-supports wide range of inductors/capacitors and dynamic load requirements |
| 180° out-of-phase synchronization | Allows interleaved operation with identical ADP2384ACPZN-R7 units to halve input/output ripple and reduce filter size |
| Startup into precharged output | Prevents reverse inductor current during hot-swap or brownout recovery-protects downstream capacitors and avoids system reset |
| ADIsimPower design tool support | Generates complete bill-of-materials, loop compensation, thermal analysis, and efficiency plots directly from user specifications |

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for ADP2384ACPZN-R7?
The ADP2384ACPZN-R7 requires a low-ESR ceramic input capacitor (10 µF to 47 µF) placed as close as possible to the PVIN pins, rated above the maximum input voltage. The capacitor must handle RMS current calculated as IOUT × √[D(1−D)], where D = VOUT/VIN. For 12 VIN/3.3 VOUT/4 A operation, D ≈ 0.275 and ICIN_RMS ≈ 1.9 A-so a 25 V, X7R, 22 µF capacitor with ≥2.5 A RMS rating is appropriate. The ADP2384ACPZN-R7 datasheet specifies this requirement in Section "Input Capacitor Selection".
Does ADP2384ACPZN-R7 support synchronization with an external clock?
Yes, ADP2384ACPZN-R7 supports full synchronization to an external clock applied to the SYNC pin across 200 kHz to 1.4 MHz. During sync mode, the internal oscillator must be programmed via the RT resistor to run within ±10% of the external clock frequency, and the switching waveform aligns with 180° phase offset-enabling interleaved operation with other ADP2384ACPZN-R7 units. This capability is documented in the "Synchronization" section of the ADP2384ACPZN-R7 datasheet.
Can ADP2384ACPZN-R7 start up into a precharged output?
Yes, ADP2384ACPZN-R7 explicitly supports startup into a precharged output. Its control logic detects reverse inductor current during initial soft start and disables the low-side MOSFET to prevent discharging the output capacitor. This function remains active until the soft start voltage exceeds the FB pin voltage. The feature is confirmed in the "General Description" and "Soft Start" sections of the ADP2384ACPZN-R7 datasheet and validated in Figure 18 ("Voltage Precharged Output").
What is the thermal resistance of ADP2384ACPZN-R7 in its LFCSP package?
The ADP2384ACPZN-R7 in its 24-lead LFCSP_WQ package has θJA = 42.6°C/W and θJC = 6.8°C/W (to SW pad) or 2.3°C/W (to GND pad), measured on a 4-layer JEDEC-standard PCB. These values assume proper soldering of both exposed pads (EP-GND and EP-SW) to large copper planes. Thermal performance degrades significantly if either pad is left unconnected-the ADP2384ACPZN-R7 datasheet emphasizes this in "Thermal Resistance" (Table 3) and "Pin Configuration" (Figure 3 notes).
How is the output voltage set on ADP2384ACPZN-R7?
The output voltage of ADP2384ACPZN-R7 is set using an external resistor divider from VOUT to GND, connected to the FB pin. With a precise 0.6 V ±1% internal reference, VOUT = 0.6 V × (1 + RTOP/RBOT). For example, 3.3 V output uses RTOP = 45.3 kΩ and RBOT = 10 kΩ. The ADP2384ACPZN-R7 datasheet specifies this in "Output Voltage Setting" (Section 15) and provides design examples in "Design Example" (Section 19).
