ARG8180040 V, 500 mA / 1.0 A Synchronous Buck Regulatorswith Ultralow Quiescent Current, SYNCIN, CLKOUT, and PGOODFEATURES AND BENEFITSDESCRIPTION • Automotive AEC-Q100 qualified The ARG81800 includes all the control and protection circuitry • Input operating voltage range: 3.5 to 36 V to produce a PWM regulator with ±1.5% output voltage □ Withstands surge voltages to 40 V for load dump accuracy, with ultralow quiescent current to enable “keepalive” • Low-Power (LP) mode—draws just 8 µA from V supply operation with minimal current draw from the supply IN while maintaining 3.3 or 5.0 V during very light load regulation. There are two versions of OUT • AUTO mode allows automatic transition between PWM the ARG81800 available, 500 mA and 1 A, so the physical size and LP mode based on load current of the power components can be optimized for lower current • Programmable PWM frequency (f systems, thus reducing PCB area and saving cost. PWM SW): 250 kHz to 2.4 MHz • PWM frequency dithering and controlled switch node switching frequency can be programmed over a wide range to slew rate reduce EMI/EMC signature balance efficiency, component sizing, and EMC performance. • CLK If V OUT allows interleaving and dithering of “downstream” IN decays and the duty cycle reaches its maximum, the regulators using their synchronization inputs ARG81800 will automatically fold back its PWM frequency • Interleaving minimizes input filter capacitor requirement to extend the duty cycle and maintain VOUT. and improves EMI/EMC performance The ARG81800 employs Low-Power (LP) mode to maintain • Synchronization of PWM frequency to external clock on the output voltage at no load or very light load conditions while SYNCIN pin drawing only micro-amps from VIN. The ARG81800 includes a • Adjustable output voltage: ±1.5% accuracy over PWM/AUTO control pin so the system can dynamically force operating temperature range (‒40°C to 150°C) either PWM or AUTO mode by setting this pin high or low, • Maximized duty cycle at low VIN improves dropout respectively. • Soft recovery from dropout condition If the SYNC • Adjustable soft-start time controls inrush current to IN pin is driven by an external clock, the ARG81800 will be forced into PWM mode and synchronize to the incoming accommodate a wide range of output capacitances clock. The ARG81800 adds frequency dithering to the SYNC • External compensation provides flexibility to tune the IN clock to reduce EMI/EMC. The ARG81800 provides a CLK system for maximum stability or fast transient response OUT pin so “downstream” regulators can be easily interleaved and Continued on next page... dithered via their synchronization inputs.
