PMIC - Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators

ADP2360ACPZ-5.0-R7 is a three-channel pulse width modulation (PWM) integrated DC/DC switching regulator. It is an eco-friendly chip with low standby current, equipped with many features that allows designers to get the right performance and effect for their designs. It is suitable for automotive, telecom and industrial applications.

Application Fields

ADP2360ACPZ-5.0-R7 is a power solution for applications like automotive, telecom and industrial applications. It offers a step-down DC/DC converter with three independent output channels that can supply up to 5.0 A from an input voltage range of 4.5 V to 36 V. At the same time, it offers the efficiency, functionality and performance needed for these applications.

ADP2360ACPZ-5.0-R7 is ideal for applications such as automotive systems, power management for communication infrastructure, industrial motor control, and point-of-load applications. It is designed to provide a smart, efficient and robust power solution, offering improved thermal performance and light-load efficiency. The device operates with a fixed PWM frequency of 550 kHz, and the current−mode control provides smooth response and noise−free transitions.

Working Principle

The ADP2360ACPZ-5.0-R7 is based on a pulse width modulation (PWM) topology and current−mode control. Channel 1, 2, and 3 offer true independent output channels. All pins can be controlled individually using the UP pin, FB pin, and EN pin. The PWM control circuit is based on current−mode control, which offers superior transient response and better noise immunity compared to voltage−mode control. It also offers improved light−load efficiency by varying the pulses width, depending on the output current and load requirements.

The ADP2360ACPZ-5.0-R7 also offers a range of protections and monitoring functions. These include over-voltage protection (OVP), over-current protection (OCP), over-temperature protection (OTP), under-voltage lockout (UVLO) and short-circuit protection (SCP). Additionally, it has a thermal-shutdown feature which monitors the temperature inside the chip, and will shut down the DC/DC converter when temperatures exceed the design threshold. Apart from this, the device also features soft−start and current−limit protection.

Conclusion

ADP2360ACPZ-5.0-R7 is a powerful DC to DC switching regulator which is suitable for many applications, with features that make it ideal for use in automotive, telecom and industrial applications. It has superior current-mode control, frequency fixed PWM control, as well as many protective and monitoring functions. The device offers high efficiency and improved light-load efficiency, and its robust design makes it an ideal choice for power solutions.
