Product details
Overview
ADP2503ACPZ-2.8-R7 from Analog Devices is a 600 mA, 2.5 MHz synchronous buck-boost DC-to-DC converter in a 10-lead 3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP package, supporting input voltages from 2.3 V to 5.5 V and delivering a fixed 2.8 V output. It features seamless buck/boost/buck-boost mode transition, 38 μA quiescent current, internal compensation, and load disconnect capability - optimized for space-constrained portable power rails in USB-powered devices and wireless handsets.
For engineers reviewing the ADP2503ACPZ-2.8-R7 datasheet, ADP2503ACPZ-2.8-R7 pinout, ADP2503ACPZ-2.8-R7 application, or ADP2503ACPZ-2.8-R7 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world application cards, validated alternatives, and supply-chain support details specific to the ADP2503ACPZ-2.8-R7 fixed-output variant.
Technical Context
The ADP2503ACPZ-2.8-R7 implements synchronous average current-mode control with integrated N- and P-channel MOSFETs (150 mΩ each), enabling operation across buck, boost, and buck-boost topologies depending on VIN relative to VOUT. Its 2.5 MHz switching frequency supports compact 1.5 µH inductors and minimizes output voltage ripple without external compensation.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (2.20 V rising threshold), thermal shutdown (150°C), short-circuit protection (1.4 A switch current limit), and reverse current limiting (1.1 A), while offering three SYNC pin modes: power-save (PSM), forced PWM, and external clock synchronization (2.2–2.8 MHz).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 600 mA maximum continuous - sufficient for powering baseband processors or RF front-ends in handheld devices. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single Li-ion/Li-poly, dual alkaline/NiMH, USB 5 V, or PCMCIA sources. |
| Fixed Output Voltage | 2.8 V ±2% initial accuracy - stable rail for low-voltage logic, sensors, or audio codecs requiring tight regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.5 MHz typical - enables use of small 1.5 µH inductors and reduces EMI fundamental frequency above sensitive bands. |
| Quiescent Current | 38 μA typical - extends battery life in always-on or standby subsystems without sacrificing startup speed. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.2 μA typical - ensures near-zero drain during system sleep, critical for long-term portable operation. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C with 25°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design without latch-up. |
Pinout & Package
ADP2503ACPZ-2.8-R7 uses a 10-lead, 3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP (QFN) package with exposed pad (EP) thermally connected to PGND. The package supports high-density layout and efficient heat dissipation via the EP-to-PGND connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VOUT | Regulated output node | Delivers fixed 2.8 V; requires low-ESR ceramic capacitor (≥22 µF) between VOUT and PGND for stability and transient response. |
| 2 SW2 | Boost-side power switch node | Connects to inductor in boost/buck-boost mode; must be routed with short, wide trace to minimize switching loop inductance and EMI. |
| 3 PGND | Power ground reference | Common return for input/output capacitors and power switches; must be tied directly to EP and form low-impedance plane. |
| 4 SW1 | Buck-side power switch node | Connects to same inductor as SW2; shared inductor simplifies layout but requires careful routing to avoid coupling noise into analog sections. |
| 5 PVIN | Main power input for switches | Supplies internal power switches only; requires local 10 µF ceramic capacitor to PGND to handle high di/dt transients. |
| 6 EN | Enable/shutdown control | Logic-high (>1.2 V) enables regulation with soft-start; logic-low (<0.4 V) disables device and reduces input current to 0.2 μA. |
| 7 SYNC | Mode selection & synchronization | Low = PSM enabled; high = forced PWM; AC signal (2.2–2.8 MHz) = external sync - eliminates beat frequencies in multi-rail systems. |
| 8 VIN | Analog supply input | Powers internal error amplifier, reference, and logic; decoupled separately from PVIN to reduce noise coupling into feedback path. |
| 9 AGND | Analog ground reference | Separate ground for precision circuitry; must be connected to PGND at single point near VIN/AGND pins to avoid ground bounce. |
| 10 FB | Feedback input | Internally connected to VOUT for fixed-output variants; not user-accessible - eliminates resistor divider errors and layout sensitivity. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Must be soldered to solid PGND copper area with ≥4 thermal vias to inner ground planes for thermal performance and reliability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Seamless mode transition | Automatically shifts between buck, boost, and buck-boost based on VIN vs. VOUT - maintains regulation without output glitches during battery discharge. |
| Load disconnect in boost mode | True isolation of VOUT from PVIN when disabled - prevents backfeed and preserves battery charge in powered-off subsystems. |
| Internal compensation | Eliminates external compensation network - reduces BOM count, saves board space, and guarantees stability across all operating conditions. |
| Soft start (200 μs) | Limits inrush current to <600 mA with 20 µF output cap - avoids input rail collapse and prevents false UVLO triggering during power-up. |
| Power save mode (PSM) | Reduces switching frequency under light loads (<75 mA), cutting quiescent loss while maintaining regulation - ideal for sensor wake-up intervals. |
Applications
| Wireless Handset Baseband Power | Digital Camera Sensor Rail |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the ADP2503ACPZ-2.8-R7?
The ADP2503ACPZ-2.8-R7 has a fixed 2.8 V output with ±2% initial accuracy over temperature and line/load conditions. This specification is guaranteed at room temperature with no load and reflects the trimmed internal feedback network - no external resistors affect this tolerance since the FB pin is internally connected for fixed-output variants.
Does the ADP2503ACPZ-2.8-R7 support load disconnect in all operating modes?
Yes - the ADP2503ACPZ-2.8-R7 provides true load disconnect only when operating in boost configuration and during shutdown. In buck or buck-boost mode, the output remains connected to input through internal switches. This behavior is inherent to its topology and is confirmed in the General Description and Pin Function Descriptions sections of the Rev. F datasheet.
Can the ADP2503ACPZ-2.8-R7 be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes - the SYNC pin accepts an external clock signal between 2.2 MHz and 2.8 MHz. When driven with a clean square wave meeting minimum on/off time requirements (≥160 ns), the ADP2503ACPZ-2.8-R7 locks its internal oscillator to that frequency, enabling deterministic switching and EMI reduction in multi-converter systems.
What is the recommended inductor value for the ADP2503ACPZ-2.8-R7?
Analog Devices recommends a 1.5 µH shielded ferrite inductor (e.g., Toko DE2810C or Murata LQM2HP-G0) for the ADP2503ACPZ-2.8-R7. This value balances low current ripple, minimal size, and efficiency - especially critical in boost mode where peak inductor current is highest. Inductor saturation current must exceed calculated IIN(MAX) + ΔILOAD/2.
How does the ADP2503ACPZ-2.8-R7 handle thermal overload?
The ADP2503ACPZ-2.8-R7 activates thermal shutdown at 150°C junction temperature and resumes operation only after cooling to ~125°C due to 25°C hysteresis. During shutdown, all power switches turn off, preserving input source integrity. This protection is independent of ambient temperature and depends solely on actual die temperature, as defined in the Thermal Characteristics table.
