Product details
Overview
ADPL20502AANT+T from Analog Devices is a synchronous boost converter IC delivering up to 2A peak inductor current, operating from 600mV to 5.5V input with True Shutdown™, 1nA shutdown current, and 96% peak efficiency. It features single-resistor-adjustable output (2.3V–5.2V), 500nA quiescent supply current referred to output, and supports battery-powered wearable audio and IoT sensors.
For engineers reviewing the ADPL20502AANT+T datasheet, ADPL20502AANT+T pinout, ADPL20502AANT+T application, or ADPL20502AANT+T equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low IQ operation, output disconnect during shutdown, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal/short-circuit protection, and WLP package compatibility with space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The ADPL20502AANT+T implements an adaptive on-time pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) control scheme that dynamically transitions between Ultra-Low-Power Mode (ULPM), Low-Power Mode (LPM), and High-Power Mode (HPM) based on load current. ULPM enables 500nA output-referred quiescent current and 90% efficiency at 500μA, while HPM delivers tight load regulation (±1.2%) via error amplifier feedback.
True Shutdown™ fully isolates OUT from IN using proprietary synchronous rectifier control, eliminating reverse current and enabling startup into precharged output capacitors. Protection includes cycle-by-cycle 2A inductor current limit, short-circuit detection (VOUT < VIN − 1V), and thermal shutdown at +165°C with 15°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 600mV to 5.5V - supports direct connection to single-cell Li-ion, NiMH, or alkaline batteries down to near-dead voltage. |
| Output Voltage Range | 2.3V to 5.2V in 100mV steps - set by single resistor to GND on RSEL pin; eliminates need for feedback divider network. |
| Peak Inductor Current Limit | 2.0A typical - ensures robust transient response and stable operation under heavy loads without external current sensing. |
| Quiescent Supply Current (OUT) | 500nA - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes and wearables operating at microamp loads. |
| Shutdown Current | 1nA - minimizes standby leakage, critical for systems requiring long-term storage or infrequent wake-up cycles. |
| Efficiency | 96% peak, ≥90% at 500μA - maintains high conversion efficiency across full load range from nanoamps to 2A. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and medical applications including clinical instrumentation and emergency lighting. |
Pinout & Package
ADPL20502AANT+T uses a 1.58mm × 0.89mm, 0.4mm pitch, 6-bump Wafer-Level Package (WLP) with 3×2 bump arrangement. The package integrates power and analog ground internally and requires direct PCB connection of bumps to appropriate nets.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT | Regulated Output | Delivers programmed output voltage; connects directly to 22μF X7R ceramic capacitor for stability and low ripple. |
| LX | Switching Node | Connects to 1.0μH inductor; carries high di/dt switching current; must be routed with minimal loop area to reduce EMI. |
| GND | Power Ground | Primary return path for high-current paths; ties to PCB ground plane with multiple vias for thermal and noise performance. |
| RSEL | Voltage Select Input | Single resistor to GND sets output voltage; total capacitance must remain below 2pF to ensure accurate detection within 600μs. |
| IN | Input Supply | Accepts wide input range (600mV–5.5V); connects to 22μF X7R ceramic capacitor to suppress input ripple and source peak currents. |
| EN | Enable Control | Logic-level input (0.6V threshold); asserts True Shutdown when pulled below 0.55V, disconnecting OUT from IN. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True Shutdown™ | Zero forward/reverse current between IN and OUT during disable - eliminates need for external load switches in battery-critical systems. |
| Adaptive PFM Control | Automatic mode switching (ULPM/LPM/HPM) optimizes efficiency from 10μA to 2A - no manual configuration required. |
| Single-Resistor Output Programming | 32 discrete output voltages (2.3V–5.2V) selected via one standard 1% resistor - reduces BOM count and PCB footprint vs. dual-resistor feedback. |
| Output Short-Circuit Protection | Detects VOUT < VIN − 1V and disables synchronous rectifier - prevents damage during accidental shorts without external circuitry. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Turns off converter at +165°C junction temperature with automatic recovery at +150°C - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61291DRVR | 0.7V min input, 1.5A max output, 2.5μA IQ, 2mm × 2mm WSON package | Lacks True Shutdown; outputs remain connected to input in shutdown, risking reverse current | Choose when lower cost and simpler layout outweigh need for zero-shutdown leakage. |
| MAX20420ATCA+ | 0.5V min input, 2A output, 2.5μA IQ, integrated inductor option, 2.1mm × 1.6mm FC2QFN | No RSEL-based voltage programming; fixed or I²C-configurable outputs only | Prefer when board space is extremely constrained and programmability via resistor is not required. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for ADPL20502AANT+T to start up?
The ADPL20502AANT+T requires a minimum startup input voltage of 900mV under typical conditions (RL ≥ 3kΩ, TJ = +25°C). Once running, it sustains regulation down to 600mV input. This dual-threshold behavior enables operation across nearly the full discharge curve of primary and rechargeable cells. The ADPL20502AANT+T achieves this via adaptive startup sequencing that first establishes partial regulation before acquiring the RSEL resistor value.
How does True Shutdown™ in ADPL20502AANT+T differ from standard enable functionality?
True Shutdown™ in ADPL20502AANT+T completely disconnects the output from the input using internal synchronous rectifier control, drawing only 1nA from VIN and preventing any forward or reverse current flow. Standard enable circuits often leave the body diode of the high-side switch forward-biased, allowing parasitic discharge. The ADPL20502AANT+T's architecture eliminates this leakage path, enabling safe use with precharged outputs and zero standby drain.
Can ADPL20502AANT+T be used with a 5.5V output target?
Yes - the ADPL20502AANT+T supports a 5.5V output setting by shorting the RSEL pin to GND, as specified in Table 4 of the datasheet. However, ULPM (Ultra-Low-Power Mode) is disabled at 5.4V and 5.5V outputs, meaning quiescent current rises above 500nA and light-load efficiency decreases. For applications requiring both 5.5V output and nanoamp IQ, consider using the fixed-output version ADPL20502AATA+ with factory-programmed 5.5V and external enable control.
What is the recommended inductor value for ADPL20502AANT+T, and why?
Analog Devices recommends a 1.0μH shielded power inductor for ADPL20502AANT+T. This value balances peak current handling (2A limit), physical size, AC losses, and transient response across the full input/output range. Lower values increase ripple and stress switching components; higher values reduce ripple but degrade light-load efficiency and slow transient recovery. The ADPL20502AANT+T's adaptive on-time control is optimized for 1.0μH, ensuring stable mode transitions between ULPM, LPM, and HPM.
Does ADPL20502AANT+T require external compensation components?
No - the ADPL20502AANT+T uses an internally compensated control loop and requires no external compensation components. Its adaptive PFM architecture and fixed-gain error amplifier eliminate the need for loop compensation networks. Stability is ensured across all valid input/output combinations and load conditions when using the recommended 22μF X7R ceramic input and output capacitors placed per the layout guidelines - specifically with short, low-inductance connections to GND and OUT pins.
