Product details
Overview
ADPL20502AATA+T from Analog Devices is a synchronous boost DC-DC converter delivering up to 2A peak inductor current, operating from 600mV to 5.5V input and supporting 2.3V–5.5V adjustable output voltage with True Shutdown™, 1nA shutdown current, and 96% peak efficiency. It serves as the primary power rail generator in ultra-low-power battery systems such as wearable audio and IoT sensors.
For engineers reviewing the ADPL20502AATA+T datasheet, ADPL20502AATA+T pinout, ADPL20502AATA+T application, or ADPL20502AATA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 500nA output-referred quiescent current, single-resistor output programming (RSEL), cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and guaranteed operation across –40°C to +125°C with no reverse current into precharged outputs.
Technical Context
The ADPL20502AATA+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 - enabling 90% efficiency at 500μA and stable regulation down to 10μA. Its internal error amplifier regulates output voltage with ±1.2% DC load/line regulation and supports startup from as low as 900mV input.
True Shutdown™ disconnects OUT from IN via proprietary synchronous rectifier control, eliminating body-diode leakage and enabling zero forward/reverse current during disable - critical for systems requiring dynamic power cycling into precharged capacitors. Short-circuit protection limits input current to 1.1A and triggers thermal shutdown at 165°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 600mV–5.5V; enables direct operation from single-cell Li-ion, NiMH, or coin cells without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 2.3V–5.5V in 100mV steps; programmed by single resistor (RSEL) - reduces BOM count and PCB footprint vs. dual-resistor feedback. |
| Peak Inductor Current Limit | 2.0A typical; provides robust overcurrent protection while maintaining high output current capability at low VIN (e.g., 800mA @ 5.0V out with 3.0V in). |
| Quiescent Current (OUT) | 500nA typical; measured output-referred, enabling >1-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes drawing microamps. |
| Shutdown Current | 1nA typical; ensures negligible battery drain during system sleep, even with biased output loads. |
| Efficiency | 96% peak, ≥90% at 500μA; sustains high conversion efficiency across 7-decade load range due to adaptive PFM architecture. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C; qualified for industrial and medical environments where thermal margin is critical. |
Pinout & Package
ADPL20502AATA+T is housed in an 8-pin, 2mm × 2mm TDFN package with exposed pad (EP), optimized for thermal performance and compact layout. The EP must be connected to AGND/GND externally via short traces under the device.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Input Power Supply | Accepts 600mV–5.5V; requires 22μF X7R ceramic capacitor to ground for low-impedance decoupling and ripple suppression. |
| OUT | Regulated Output | Delivers programmable 2.3V–5.5V; connects directly to 22μF output capacitor - placement must be adjacent to IC to minimize loop inductance. |
| LX | Switching Node | Drives external 1.0μH inductor; high di/dt node requiring minimal trace area and separation from sensitive analog paths. |
| GND | Power Ground | Main return path for high-current switching; tied to EP and AGND at single point to avoid ground bounce. |
| AGND | Analog Ground | Reference for internal error amplifier and RSEL detection; must connect to EP externally - not internally routed. |
| RSEL | Voltage Select Input | Single-resistor interface (0Ω–909kΩ) sets output voltage; total pin capacitance must stay <2pF to ensure accurate startup detection. |
| EN | Enable Control | Logic-level input (VEN_IH = 0.6V min); asserts True Shutdown when pulled below 0.55V - disables all switching and isolates OUT from IN. |
| EP | Exposed Thermal Pad | Internally connected to AGND; mandatory PCB connection to GND plane via multiple vias for thermal dissipation and noise reduction. |
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 applications. |
| Adaptive PFM Control | Three-mode operation (ULPM/LPM/HPM) automatically optimizes switching frequency and on-time to sustain ≥90% efficiency from 10μA to full load. |
| Single-Resistor Output Programming | 32 discrete output voltages (2.3V–5.5V) set via one standard 1% resistor - simplifies inventory and enables flexible design reuse. |
| Output Disconnect Protection | Prevents reverse current flow into precharged output capacitors - enables safe hot-plug and fast wake-up from deep sleep states. |
| Integrated Short-Circuit & Thermal Protection | 1.1A input current limit and 165°C thermal shutdown with 15°C hysteresis - protects against fault conditions without external circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61291DRVR | Higher 1.2μA IQ (vs. 500nA), fixed 3.3V/5.0V options only, no RSEL programming, 1.5A peak current limit. | Limited to fixed-output designs; lacks true output disconnect - requires external load switch for zero-leakage shutdown. | Choose when fixed voltage suffices and board space permits larger solution size; avoid for dynamically reconfigurable systems. |
| MAX20472ATPA+ | 2.5V–5.5V input, 500nA IQ, but only 1.2A peak current limit and no ULPM mode below 100μA. | Lower output current capability restricts use in high-pulse-load applications like RF transceivers; no precharged-capacitor startup support. | Select for cost-sensitive industrial sensors where 1.2A peak suffices and thermal margin exceeds 125°C ambient. |
Compared with TPS61291DRVR and MAX20472ATPA+, ADPL20502AATA+T uniquely combines 500nA IQ, 2A peak current, single-resistor programmability, and True Shutdown - making it optimal for space-constrained, long-life battery systems requiring flexible voltage rails and zero-leakage disable.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for ADPL20502AATA+T to start up?
The ADPL20502AATA+T starts up from a minimum input voltage of 900mV under typical conditions (RL ≥ 3kΩ, TJ = +25°C). Once running, it continues regulation down to 600mV input. Startup behavior depends on load resistance and output capacitor precharge state - lighter loads enable reliable startup closer to the 900mV threshold.
How does the RSEL pin configure output voltage on ADPL20502AATA+T?
The ADPL20502AATA+T uses a single resistor from RSEL to GND to select one of 32 output voltages between 2.3V and 5.5V in 100mV steps. For example, a 191kΩ resistor sets VOUT = 3.3V. During startup, the IC sources ~200μA for ~600μs to read RSEL; total pin capacitance must remain below 2pF for accuracy.
Does ADPL20502AATA+T support true output disconnect during shutdown?
Yes. ADPL20502AATA+T features True Shutdown™, which actively disconnects the output from the input using internal synchronous rectifier control - preventing both forward conduction through the body diode and reverse current from a precharged output capacitor. This results in only 1nA shutdown current from VIN.
What is the maximum achievable output current from ADPL20502AATA+T at 5.0V output?
At VOUT = 5.0V and VIN = 3.0V, the ADPL20502AATA+T typically delivers 800mA continuous output current. Peak inductor current is limited to 2.0A, but practical output current depends on input voltage, inductor DCR, PCB thermal design, and ambient temperature - derating applies above +85°C ambient.
Can ADPL20502AATA+T operate efficiently at very light loads, such as 10μA?
Yes. ADPL20502AATA+T achieves ≥90% efficiency at 500μA and maintains usable efficiency down to 10μA via its Ultra-Low-Power Mode (ULPM), where quiescent current is just 500nA output-referred. In ULPM, regulation accuracy is ±2.7% (rising), optimized for minimal energy loss in always-on sensing applications.
