19 / 44 page ADP1870/ADP1871 Rev. 0 | Page 19 of 44 THEORY OF OPERATION The ADP1870/ADP1871 are versatile current-mode, synchronous step-down controllers that provide superior transient response, optimal stability, and current limit protection by using a constant on-time, pseudo-fixed frequency with a programmable current- sense gain, current-control scheme. In addition, these devices offer optimum performance at low duty cycles by utilizing valley current-mode control architecture. This allows the ADP1870/ ADP1871 to drive all N-channel power stages to regulate output voltages as low as 0.6 V. STARTUP The ADP1870/ADP1871 have an internal regulator (VREG) for biasing and supplying power for the integrated MOSFET drivers. A bypass capacitor should be located directly across the VREG (Pin 5) and PGND (Pin 7) pins. Included in the power-up sequence is the biasing of the current-sense amplifier, the current-sense gain circuit (see the Programming Resistor (RES) Detect Circuit section), the soft start circuit, and the error amplifier. The current-sense blocks provide valley current information (see the Programming Resistor (RES) Detect Circuit section) and are a variable of the compensation equation for loop stability (see the Compensation Network section). The valley current information is extracted by forcing 0.4 V across the DRVL output and PGND pin, which generates a current depending on the resistor across DRVL and PGND in a process performed by the RES detect circuit. The current through the resistor is used to set the current-sense amplifier gain. This process takes approximately 800 μs, after which the drive signal pulses appear at the DRVL and DRVH pins synchronously and the output voltage begins to rise in a controlled manner through the soft start sequence. The rise time of the output voltage is determined by the soft start and error amplifier blocks (see the Soft Start section). At the beginning of a soft start, the error amplifier charges the external compensation capacitor, causing the COMP/EN pin to rise above the enable threshold of 285 mV, thus enabling the ADP1870/ADP1871. SOFT START The ADP1870/ADP1871 have digital soft start circuitry, which involves a counter that initiates an incremental increase in current, by 1 μA, via a current source on every cycle through a fixed internal capacitor. The output tracks the ramping voltage by producing PWM output pulses to the upper-side MOSFET. The purpose is to limit the in-rush current from the high voltage input supply (VIN) to the output (VOUT). PRECISION ENABLE CIRCUITRY The ADP1870/ADP1871 employ precision enable circuitry. The enable threshold is 285 mV typical with 35 mV of hysteresis. The devices are enabled when the COMP/EN pin is released, allowing the error amplifier output to rise above the enable threshold (see Figure 66). Grounding this pin disables the ADP1870/ADP1871, reducing the supply current of the devices to approximately 140 μA.

COMP/EN Voltage Range UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) feature prevents the part from operating both the upper- and lower-side MOSFETs at extremely low or undefined input voltage (VIN) ranges. Operation at an undefined bias voltage may result in the incorrect propagation of signals to the high-side power switches. This, in turn, results in invalid output behavior that can cause damage to the output devices, ultimately destroying the device tied at the output. The UVLO level has been set at 2.65 V (nominal). ON-BOARD LOW DROPOUT REGULATOR The ADP1870 uses an on-board LDO to bias the internal digital and analog circuitry. With proper bypass capacitors connected to the VREG pin (output of internal LDO), this pin also provides power for the internal MOSFET drivers. It is recommended to float VREG if VIN is utilized for greater than 5.5 V operation. The minimum voltage where bias is guaranteed to operate is 2.75 V at VREG. For applications where VIN is decoupled from VREG, the minimum voltage at VIN must be 2.9 V. It is recommended that |
