Product details
Overview
ADP5073ACPZ-R7 from Analog Devices is a high-performance DC-to-DC inverting regulator IC that generates adjustable negative output rails up to 39 V below input voltage, features integrated 1.2 A main switch, 1.2/2.4 MHz switching frequency selection, precision enable control, and power-good output - used in RF PA bias, high-speed ADC/DAC supplies, and optical module power management.
For engineers reviewing the ADP5073ACPZ-R7 datasheet, ADP5073ACPZ-R7 pinout, ADP5073ACPZ-R7 application, or ADP5073ACPZ-R7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-frequency operation (1.2/2.4 MHz), slew-rate programmable driver for EMI reduction, resistor-programmable soft start, −40°C to +125°C junction temperature rating, and 3 mm × 3 mm 16-lead LFCSP package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The ADP5073ACPZ-R7 implements a fixed-frequency PWM inverting topology with internal phase-locked loop oscillator supporting pin-selectable 1.2 MHz or 2.4 MHz operation, plus external synchronization from 1.0 MHz to 2.6 MHz. Its error amplifier drives a current-mode control loop with programmable peak current limit (1.2 A min) and hiccup-mode overcurrent protection.
It integrates two independent regulators: a 4.25 V internal VREG supply for internal circuitry and a 1.60 V reference (±0.5% at 25°C) for feedback sensing. The device uses precision enable threshold (1.15 V typical) and provides open-drain PWRGD with 0.7 V trip threshold referenced to VREF–VFB, enabling accurate system power sequencing.

Pinout & Package
ADP5073ACPZ-R7 is housed in a 3 mm × 3 mm, 16-lead Lead Frame Chip Scale Package (LFCSP) with exposed thermal pad. The package supports high thermal efficiency (θJA = 75.01°C/W) and requires soldering the EPAD to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance and EMI suppression.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switching Node | Connects to inductor and diode anode; carries high dv/dt switching waveform - requires tight layout and ground shielding. |
| SLEW (Pin 2) | Slew Rate Control | Configures MOSFET driver slew: open = fast (best efficiency), VREG = normal, GND = slow (lowest EMI). |
| PWRGD (Pin 3) | Power-Good Output | Open-drain signal indicating VOUT stability; requires external pull-up to VREG (or ≤5.5 V supply) for logic-level assertion. |
| SYNC/FREQ (Pin 4) | Frequency Selection/Sync Input | Low = 1.2 MHz, high = 2.4 MHz, or external clock 1.0–2.6 MHz - enables synchronized switching in multi-rail systems. |
| SS (Pin 5) | Soft Start Programming | Open = 4 ms default; resistor to GND extends time up to 32 ms - prevents inrush current into large output capacitors. |
| EN (Pin 6) | Precision Enable Input | Threshold 1.15 V (±25 mV); internal 1.48 MΩ pull-down - supports clean sequencing and programmable UVLO via resistor divider. |
| COMP (Pin 7) | Error Amplifier Compensation | Connect RC network between COMP and GND to stabilize control loop - critical for transient response and phase margin. |
| FB (Pin 8) | Feedback Input | Senses VREF − VFB = 0.8 V target; connects to resistor divider from VOUT to VREF - sets negative output voltage precisely. |
| VREF (Pin 9) | Reference Output | 1.60 V ±0.5% source for FB divider - requires 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor to GND for noise immunity and stability. |
| GND (Pin 10) | Analog Ground | Primary return path for feedback, reference, and compensation circuits - must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling. |
| VREG (Pin 11) | Internal Regulator Output | 4.25 V supply for internal logic and PWRGD pull-up - not for external loading; requires 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| PVIN (Pin 12) | Power Input (Switch Side) | Supplies high-current path to internal MOSFET switch - decouple with ≥5.6 µF ceramic close to pin. |
| AVIN (Pin 13) | Analog Input Supply | Powers control circuitry, reference, and EN/COMP/FB blocks - decouple with ≥3.3 µF ceramic close to pin. |
| NIC (Pins 14–16) | No Internal Connection | Thermally connected to die substrate; connect to PCB ground plane to enhance thermal dissipation and reduce θJA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Slew Rate Control | Three discrete settings (fast/normal/slow) via SLEW pin connection - reduces EMI by >10 dB in conducted emissions without sacrificing full-load efficiency. |
| Resistor-Programmable Soft Start | 4 ms to 32 ms adjustment range using single external resistor - eliminates startup inrush into 10–100 µF output capacitors. |
| External Clock Synchronization | 1.0–2.6 MHz sync input accepts CMOS-level clock - enables noise-free coexistence with ADC sampling clocks or RF LO signals. |
| True Load Disconnect in Shutdown | Internal switch isolates VOUT from input during EN = low - prevents reverse current and ensures zero quiescent load on source rail. |
| Integrated Power-Good Monitoring | Monitors VREF − VFB with 0.7 V threshold and 28 Ω pull-down FET - provides reliable system reset signaling without external comparators. |

FAQ
What is the maximum negative output voltage achievable with the ADP5073ACPZ-R7?
The ADP5073ACPZ-R7 supports an adjustable negative output down to VIN − 39 V. With a 15 V input, this enables generation of up to −24 V; with a 12 V input, it achieves −27 V. The absolute maximum SW node voltage rating is PVIN − 40 V, so output voltage must remain within this limit to avoid damage. Real-world maximums depend on external component ratings - especially diode reverse voltage and output capacitor voltage rating.
Does the ADP5073ACPZ-R7 support external frequency synchronization, and what is the valid input range?
Yes, the ADP5073ACPZ-R7 supports external frequency synchronization via the SYNC/FREQ pin across 1.0 MHz to 2.6 MHz. The input must meet CMOS logic thresholds (VH ≥ 1.3 V, VL ≤ 0.4 V), with minimum pulse widths of 100 ns high and 100 ns low. This capability allows precise noise alignment in systems with multiple switching regulators or sensitive RF sections, eliminating beat frequencies and easing EMI filtering.
How does the slew rate control on the ADP5073ACPZ-R7 affect EMI and efficiency?
The ADP5073ACPZ-R7's SLEW pin offers three discrete slew rate settings: open (fastest), tied to VREG (normal), or tied to GND (slowest). Slower slew reduces high-frequency harmonics and conducted EMI by >10 dB but increases switching losses, lowering full-load efficiency by ~2–3%. Fast slew maximizes efficiency (>85% at 500 mA) but raises EMI risk near sensitive analog circuits - making it ideal for RF-adjacent layouts only when paired with proper shielding and filtering.
What is the purpose of the separate PVIN and AVIN pins on the ADP5073ACPZ-R7?
PVIN supplies the high-current power path to the internal MOSFET switch, while AVIN powers the analog control circuitry (reference, error amplifier, EN comparator, etc.). Separating these paths prevents switching noise from modulating the feedback reference or enable threshold. Layout best practice requires individual 5.6 µF (PVIN) and 3.3 µF (AVIN) ceramic decoupling capacitors placed as close as possible to their respective pins - ensuring stable regulation and precise sequencing behavior for the ADP5073ACPZ-R7.
Can the ADP5073ACPZ-R7 be used in automotive applications, and what temperature rating does it support?
The ADP5073ACPZ-R7 is rated for −40°C to +125°C junction temperature and includes automotive-grade protections: UVLO, OCP, OVP, TSD, and precision enable with hysteresis. While not AEC-Q200 qualified, its thermal performance (θJA = 75°C/W), robust protection suite, and 16-lead LFCSP package make it suitable for under-hood industrial and commercial automotive subsystems - such as infotainment power supplies or sensor interface rails - provided board-level thermal design maintains TJ ≤ 125°C under worst-case ambient and load conditions.
