Product details
Overview
ADP2442ACPZ-R7 from Analog Devices is a synchronous step-down DC-to-DC regulator supporting 4.5 V to 36 V input, delivering up to 1 A output current with ±1% voltage accuracy and adjustable output down to 0.6 V. It features external clock synchronization (300 kHz–1 MHz), pulse-skip or forced PWM mode, and integrated high- and low-side N-channel MOSFETs - used in industrial power rails, point-of-load conversion, and distributed systems requiring robust input range and thermal resilience.
For engineers reviewing the ADP2442ACPZ-R7 datasheet, ADP2442ACPZ-R7 pinout, ADP2442ACPZ-R7 application, or ADP2442ACPZ-R7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50 ns minimum on-time for high step-down ratios, 12-lead LFCSP package with exposed pad thermal management, hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, precision enable threshold (1.20 V typ), and PGOOD open-drain signaling with 50 µs delay.
Technical Context
The ADP2442ACPZ-R7 employs emulated peak current-mode control with internal slope compensation automatically adjusted for input/output voltage and switching frequency - enabling stable operation up to ~83% duty cycle without external ramp injection. Its dual-mode operation (forced PWM or pulse-skip) is selected via the SYNC/MODE pin, directly influencing light-load efficiency and EMI profile.
It integrates an internal 5 V LDO (VCC) powered from VIN, supplies gate drive for both MOSFETs via BST-SW bootstrap circuitry, and uses a dedicated analog ground (AGND) separate from power ground (PGND) to isolate noise-sensitive feedback and compensation paths - critical for maintaining ±1% output regulation across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 36 V - supports wide industrial input sources including 24 V, 12 V, and unregulated 36 V rails without pre-regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 1 A continuous - sufficient for FPGA I/O banks, microcontroller cores, and sensor signal chains in compact PCB layouts. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1% over −40°C to +125°C - ensures stable reference for ADCs, DACs, and precision analog circuitry without recalibration. |
| Switching Frequency | Adjustable 300 kHz to 1 MHz via resistor or external sync clock - enables EMI optimization and inductor size trade-offs (e.g., 1 MHz allows <2.2 µH inductors). |
| Min On/Off Time | 50 ns / 165 ns - permits high step-down ratios (e.g., 24 V → 1.2 V at 1 MHz) while maintaining controllable duty cycle and stability. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C with 25°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in sealed enclosures or high ambient environments. |
| Shutdown Current | <15 µA - enables ultra-low-power system sleep states without compromising fast wake-up capability. |
Pinout & Package
ADP2442ACPZ-R7 is housed in a thermally enhanced 3 mm × 3 mm, 12-lead LFCSP package with exposed pad (EP) connected to both AGND and PGND planes for optimal thermal dissipation (θJA = 40°C/W, θJC = 2.4°C/W). The exposed pad must be soldered to a multi-layer PCB's internal ground planes to meet junction temperature limits under full load.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB | Feedback Input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; regulates to 0.6 V reference - sets output as VOUT = 0.6 V × (1 + RTOP/RBOTTOM). |
| COMP | Error Amplifier Compensation | Connects external RC network to stabilize loop response; critical for phase margin >55° across line/load/temp variations. |
| EN | Precision Enable | Logic-level shutdown input with 1.20 V typical rising threshold - enables sequencing control and system-level power management. |
| PGOOD | Open-Drain Power-Good Output | Asserts high when VOUT is within ±11% of target (89–118% window); 50 µs delay ensures valid regulation before system release. |
| FREQ | Frequency Set Input | Resistor-to-AGND sets fSW (300–1000 kHz); tolerance impacts timing accuracy - e.g., 308 kΩ yields 300 kHz ±10%. |
| SYNC/MODE | Sync Clock Input / Mode Select | Accepts external clock (300–1000 kHz) or selects mode: tied to AGND = pulse-skip, to VCC = forced PWM. |
| PGND | Power Ground | Low-impedance return path for high-current switch node (SW); must connect directly to exposed pad and bulk input capacitor. |
| SW | Switch Node | Drain of low-side MOSFET / source of high-side MOSFET - carries high di/dt; requires tight layout to minimize EMI and shoot-through risk. |
| VIN | Main Input Supply | 4.5–36 V input; bypassed with ceramic capacitor near PGND - feeds internal LDO and power stage. |
| BST | Bootstrap Supply | Connects 10 nF capacitor to SW to generate floating gate drive for high-side N-MOSFET - essential for 100% duty-cycle capable operation. |
| VCC | Internal LDO Output | 5.0–5.5 V regulated supply for controller logic; decoupled with 1 µF to both AGND and PGND - powers gate drivers and bias circuits. |
| AGND | Analog Ground | Reference for FB, COMP, EN, PGOOD - must be star-connected to exposed pad but isolated from noisy PGND traces to preserve regulation accuracy. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Input Range (4.5–36 V) | Enables single-supply compatibility across 12 V, 24 V, and 36 V industrial buses without external pre-regulators. |
| External Clock Synchronization | Eliminates beat frequencies in multi-rail systems by locking switching to master clock - reduces conducted EMI peaks. |
| Hiccup-Mode Overcurrent Protection | Enters 6 ms off-cycle after 8 current-limit events - prevents thermal runaway during sustained short-circuit without latch-off. |
| Adjustable Soft Start (2 ms typical) | Controls inrush current into large output capacitors - avoids input rail droop and prevents false PGOOD assertion. |
| Separate AGND and PGND Pins | Reduces noise coupling from power-switching transients into feedback and error amplifier - maintains ±1% regulation accuracy. |
| Integrated High- and Low-Side MOSFETs | Eliminates external discrete FETs and drivers - reduces BOM count, layout area, and gate-drive loop inductance. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADP2441ACPZ-R7 | Lacks external clock synchronization; includes programmable soft start and tracking capability not present in ADP2442ACPZ-R7. | Better suited for power sequencing in multi-rail systems where tracking is required, but unsuitable where EMI-controlled sync is mandatory. | Select ADP2441ACPZ-R7 only if tracking or adjustable soft-start time is prioritized over sync capability. |
| LM61480RQWR | Texas Instruments part with 3.5–36 V input, 8 A output, and pin-compatible 12-pin QFN; higher current rating and different compensation architecture. | Designed for higher-power applications; requires re-optimization of compensation and inductor selection - not drop-in compatible. | Choose LM61480RQWR only when >1 A output is needed; otherwise, ADP2442ACPZ-R7 offers tighter voltage accuracy and superior light-load pulse-skip behavior. |
Compared with ADP2442ACPZ-R7, ADP2441ACPZ-R7 trades sync capability for enhanced sequencing features, while LM61480RQWR scales current capacity at the cost of design reuse - making ADP2442ACPZ-R7 optimal for EMI-sensitive, precision 1 A point-of-load applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended input voltage for stable operation of the ADP2442ACPZ-R7?
The ADP2442ACPZ-R7 has a guaranteed operational input range starting at 4.5 V, with undervoltage lockout (UVLO) releasing at 4.0 V (typical) and hysteresis of 200 mV. Below 4.5 V, performance parameters such as output accuracy, current limit, and switching frequency may deviate from datasheet specifications - so 4.5 V is the minimum recommended for full compliance across temperature and load conditions.
Can the ADP2442ACPZ-R7 operate without an external bootstrap capacitor?
No - the ADP2442ACPZ-R7 requires a 10 nF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW pins to generate the floating gate drive voltage for the high-side N-channel MOSFET. Omitting this capacitor prevents proper high-side switching, resulting in no output regulation or potential damage due to shoot-through. The capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the IC with minimal trace inductance.
How does the ADP2442ACPZ-R7 handle output short-circuit conditions?
The ADP2442ACPZ-R7 uses hiccup-mode overcurrent protection: upon detecting eight consecutive current-limit events, it disables switching for 6 ms, then attempts restart. This cycle repeats until the fault clears. Unlike latch-off protection, hiccup mode prevents thermal runaway while allowing automatic recovery - a key safety feature for inaccessible industrial installations where manual reset is impractical.
Is the ADP2442ACPZ-R7 pin-compatible with the ADP2441ACPZ-R7?
No - although both share the same 12-lead LFCSP package and many functional pins, the ADP2442ACPZ-R7 repurposes the SS (soft-start) pin of the ADP2441ACPZ-R7 as SYNC/MODE. This difference affects PCB layout, compensation network placement, and system-level timing control - making them functionally incompatible without hardware revision.
What is the maximum achievable output voltage accuracy of the ADP2442ACPZ-R7 over temperature?
The ADP2442ACPZ-R7 guarantees ±1% output voltage accuracy over the full junction temperature range of −40°C to +125°C, based on its 0.6 V internal reference with ±0.009 V total variation (0.591 V to 0.609 V). This accuracy holds under specified line, load, and temperature conditions - confirmed by production testing and reflected in the "Feedback Regulation Voltage" parameter in Table 1 of the Rev. B datasheet.
