Product details
Overview
ADP2386ACPZN-R7 from Analog Devices is a synchronous step-down DC-to-DC regulator with integrated 44 mΩ high-side and 11 mΩ low-side MOSFETs, delivering up to 6 A continuous output current from a 4.5 V–20 V input, supporting adjustable output voltage down to 0.6 V, and operating across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature for industrial power rail conversion.
For engineers reviewing the ADP2386ACPZN-R7 datasheet, ADP2386ACPZN-R7 pinout, ADP2386ACPZN-R7 application, or ADP2386ACPZN-R7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its peak-current-mode PWM control, external frequency programming via RT pin (200 kHz–1.4 MHz), 180° out-of-phase synchronization capability, precision enable threshold (1.17 V typ), and power-good output with 1024-cycle deglitching.
Technical Context
The ADP2386ACPZN-R7 implements a fixed-frequency, peak-current-mode PWM control architecture with internal slope compensation, enabling stable operation under wide load and input variations. Its error amplifier features 480 µS transconductance and ±75 µA sink/source capability, supporting external compensation for loop tuning across diverse output capacitor ESR/ESL profiles.
It integrates dual protection logic: hiccup-mode overcurrent response triggered after ten consecutive current-limit events, and overvoltage protection that disables both MOSFETs when FB exceeds 0.7 V, recovering only after FB falls to 0.63 V. Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C with 25°C hysteresis, ensuring safe recovery before soft-start reinitiation.
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| COMP | Error amplifier output | Connects to external RC network for loop compensation-directly sets phase margin and transient response. |
| FB | Feedback voltage sense input | Monitors output via resistor divider; regulates VOUT to 0.6 V reference-enables adjustable output from 0.6 V to 90% of VIN. |
| VREG | Internal 8 V regulator output | Powers internal circuitry; requires 1 µF ceramic bypass to GND-reduces dependency on external bias supply. |
| SW | Switch node output | Drives external inductor; connects to exposed SW pad-must be routed with short/wide traces to minimize switching losses and EMI. |
| PGND | Power ground return | Low-side MOSFET source return; separate from analog GND-prevents noise coupling into control circuitry. |
| BST | Bootstrap supply for high-side gate drive | Requires 0.1 µF capacitor to SW-generates ~5 V gate drive above SW to fully enhance high-side N-MOSFET. |
| PVIN | Main power input | Accepts 4.5–20 V; connects to multiple pins and exposed pad-distributes high di/dt current with low impedance. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the ADP2386ACPZN-R7?
The ADP2386ACPZN-R7 delivers up to 6 A of continuous output current under typical thermal conditions (TJ ≤ 125°C) with adequate PCB copper area and airflow. Its 44 mΩ/11 mΩ MOSFET pair and 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP package with exposed thermal pads enable this rating while maintaining efficiency >90% at mid-load points. Derating applies above 85°C ambient or with limited board copper.
Does the ADP2386ACPZN-R7 support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes, the ADP2386ACPZN-R7 supports external clock synchronization via its SYNC pin, accepting input frequencies from 200 kHz to 1.4 MHz. When synchronized, it operates in continuous conduction mode with its switching waveform precisely 180° out of phase relative to the external clock edge-critical for reducing input ripple in multi-phase or noise-sensitive systems.
How is the switching frequency programmed on the ADP2386ACPZN-R7?
The switching frequency of the ADP2386ACPZN-R7 is set by connecting a resistor between the RT pin and GND. The relationship follows fSW (kHz) = 69,120 / (RRT + 15 kΩ). For example, a 100 kΩ resistor yields ~600 kHz, while a 42.2 kΩ resistor sets ~1.2 MHz. This allows precise EMI tuning and optimization for inductor size versus efficiency trade-offs.
Can the ADP2386ACPZN-R7 safely start up into a precharged output?
Yes, the ADP2386ACPZN-R7 includes dedicated circuitry to prevent reverse inductor current during startup into a precharged output. It monitors FB voltage and holds the low-side MOSFET off until the soft-start ramp exceeds the present output voltage-ensuring no discharge of downstream capacitors and protecting sensitive loads during hot-swap or redundant supply transitions.
What protection features are integrated into the ADP2386ACPZN-R7?
The ADP2386ACPZN-R7 integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO), overvoltage protection (OVP), overcurrent protection (OCP) with hiccup-mode recovery, short-circuit protection (SCP), and thermal shutdown with 25°C hysteresis. Its OVP triggers at 0.7 V on FB and recovers at 0.63 V; OCP initiates hiccup mode after ten current-limit events, disabling switching for 4096 cycles before retry.
