Highly integrated step-down dc-to-dc synchronous regulators enable high-density point-of-load designs

NORWOOD, USA: Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) has introduced the ADP2119 and ADP2120 dc-to-dc switching regulators, the latest in ADI’s portfolio of integrated power management switching regulators.

The highly integrated 2A/1.25A, step-down, dc-to-dc synchronous regulators include low on-resistance switching FETs (field-effect transistors) that deliver power conversion efficiencies up to 93 percent. Internal loop compensation and integrated soft-start circuitry are also featured and enable high-density solutions for point-of-load applications.

The ADP2119 and ADP2120 accommodate a diversity of point-of-load applications with a 1.2-MHz fixed switching frequency and a wide 2.3-V to 5.5-V operating range. Output voltage is adjustable from 0.6 V to input voltage (VIN), and available in preset output voltage options of 3.3 V, 2.5 V, 1.8 V, 1.5 V, 1.2 V, and 1.0 V. The ADP2119 and ADP2120 regulators are available in small 3 mm x 3 mm LFCSP (lead-frame chip-scale package) packages.

“For the design engineer looking to cost effectively replace less efficient low dropout regulators, the ADP2119 and ADP2120 combined with the availability of online ADIsimPower design tools make these regulators very easy to use,” said Martin Ng, product marketing manager, Analog Devices. “Our goal is to address our customers’ power management challenges with products that use less space and reduce their time to market.”
