NEC ADP1829 Low Voltage DC-DC Switching Power　Reference Design

The ADP1829 is a versatile, dual, interleaved, synchronous PWM buck controller that generates two independent output rails from an input of 3.0 V to 18 V, with power input voltage ranging from 1.0 V to 24 V. Each controller can be configured to provide output voltages from 0.6 V to 85% of the input voltage and is sized to handle large MOSFETs for point-of-load regulators. The two channels operate 180° out of phase, reducing stress on the input capacitor and allowing smaller, low cost components. The ADP1829 is ideal for a wide range of high power applications, such as DSP and processor core I/O power, and general-purpose power in telecommunications, medical imaging, PC, gaming, and industrial applications. The ADP1829 operates at a pin-selectable, fixed switching frequency of either 300 kHz or 600 kHz, minimizing external component size and cost. For noise-sensitive applications, it can also be synchronized to an external clock to achieve switching frequencies between 300 kHz and 1 MHz. The ADP1829 includes soft start protection to prevent inrush current from the input supply during startup, reverse current protection during soft start for precharged outputs, as well as a unique adjustable lossless current-limit scheme utilizing external MOSFET sensing. For applications requiring power supply sequencing, the ADP1829 also provides tracking inputs that allow the output voltages to track during startup, shutdown, and faults. This feature can also be used to implement DDR memory bus termination. The ADP1829 is specified over the −40℃ to +125℃ junction temperature range and is available in a 32-lead LFCSP package.

This Low Voltage DC-DC Switching Power Reference Design uses the Analog Devices ADP1829 dual switching controller in conjunction with NEC Electronics uPA2725UT1A and uPA2723UT1A N-Channel MOSFETs in the thermally enhanced HVSON-8 packages. The input voltage range for this circuit is 4.8V – 13.2V. The output voltages and currents are as follows:

• VOUT1 = 1.2 V with a maximum output current of 20.0 A

• VOUT2 = 3.3 V with a maximum output current of 20.0 A

The uPA2723UT1A acts as the synchronous or “low side” switch, while the PA2725UT1A operates as the primary or “high side” switch. The ADP1829 synchronous buck has active break-before-make circuitry as well as a supplemental fixed　dead time, which are used to prevent both switches from being on simultaneously preventing possible catastrophic failures.

In low conversion ratio and higher current synchronous buck configurations, it is vital to select a low on-resistance MOSFET in the low side switch. This has been accomplished with the uPA2723UT1A, which has a typical on-resistance of 2.6 m Ohm with a gate-to-source drive voltage of 4.5 V. With this very low on-resistance, conduction losses can be minimized and a high efficiency can be achieved.

Additionally it is necessary to use a low gate-charge MOSFET in the high side switch to reduce switching losses. For this design, the uPA2725UT1A has been selected for its low gate-charge rated at approximately 18 nC for an input voltage of 12 V and drive voltage of 4.5 V. These impressive MOSFET parameters are coupled with the low on-resistance driver technology in the ADP1829 dual controller.
