GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP1111 is part of a family of step-up/step-down switching regulators that operates from an input voltage supply of 2 V
to 12 V in step-up mode and up to 30 V in step-down mode.
The ADP1111 can be programmed to operate in step-up/stepdown or inverting applications with only 3 external components.
The fixed outputs are 3.3 V, 5 V and 12 V; and an adjustable
version is also available. The ADP1111 can deliver 100 mA at
5 V from a 3 V input in step-up mode, or it can deliver 200 mA
at 5 V from a 12 V input in step-down mode.
GND
SENSE
Maximum switch current can be programmed with a single
resistor, and an open collector gain block can be arranged in
multiple configuration for low battery detection, as a post linear
regulator, undervoltage lockout, or as an error amplifier.
If input voltages are lower than 2 V, see the ADP1110.

The ADP1111 provides external connections for both the
collector and emitter of its internal power switch that permit
both step-up and step-down modes of operation. For the stepup mode, the emitter (Pin SW2) is connected to GND, and the
collector (Pin SW1) drives the inductor. For step-down mode,
the emitter drives the inductor while the collector is connected
to VIN.

The output voltage of the ADP1111 is set with two external
resistors. Three fixed-voltage models are also available:
ADP1111–3.3 (+3.3 V), ADP1111–5 (+5 V) and ADP1111–12
(+12 V). The fixed-voltage models are identical to the
ADP1111, except that laser-trimmed voltage-setting resistors
are included on the chip. On the fixed-voltage models of the
ADP1111, simply connect the feedback pin (Pin 8) directly to
the output voltage.

COMPONENT SELECTION
General Notes on Inductor Selection
THEORY OF OPERATION
When the ADP1111 internal power switch turns on, current
begins to flow in the inductor. Energy is stored in the inductor
core while the switch is on, and this stored energy is transferred
to the load when the switch turns off. Since both the collector
and the emitter of the switch transistor are accessible on the
ADP1111, the output voltage can be higher, lower, or of
opposite polarity than the input voltage.
The ADP1111 is a flexible, low-power, switch-mode power
supply (SMPS) controller. The regulated output voltage can be
greater than the input voltage (boost or step-up mode) or less
than the input (buck or step-down mode). This device uses a
gated-oscillator technique to provide very high performance
with low quiescent current.
A functional block diagram of the ADP1111 is shown on
the first page of this data sheet. The internal 1.25 V reference is
connected to one input of the comparator, while the other input
is externally connected (via the FB pin) to a feedback network
connected to the regulated output. When the voltage at the FB
pin falls below 1.25 V, the 72 kHz oscillator turns on. A driver
amplifier provides base drive to the internal power switch, and
the switching action raises the output voltage. When the voltage
at the FB pin exceeds 1.25 V, the oscillator is shut off. While
the oscillator is off, the ADP1111 quiescent current is only
300 µA. The comparator includes a small amount of hysteresis,
which ensures loop stability without requiring external components for frequency compensation.
To specify an inductor for the ADP1111, the proper values of
inductance, saturation current and dc resistance must be
determined. This process is not difficult, and specific equations
for each circuit configuration are provided in this data sheet. In
general terms, however, the inductance value must be low
enough to store the required amount of energy (when both
input voltage and switch ON time are at a minimum) but high
enough that the inductor will not saturate when both VIN and
switch ON time are at their maximum values. The inductor
must also store enough energy to supply the load, without
saturating. Finally, the dc resistance of the inductor should be
low so that excessive power will not be wasted by heating the
windings. For most ADP1111 applications, an inductor of
15 µH to 100 µH with a saturation current rating of 300 mA to
1 A and dc resistance 6.2 V

Figure 19. Step-Down Mode Operation
When the switch turns off, the magnetic field collapses. The
polarity across the inductor changes, and the switch side of the
inductor is driven below ground. Schottky diode D1 then turns
on, and current flows into the load. Notice that the Absolute
Maximum Rating for the ADP1111’s SW2 pin is 0.5 V below
ground. To avoid exceeding this limit, D1 must be a Schottky
diode. If a silicon diode is used for D1, Pin SW2 can go to
–0.8 V, which will cause potentially damaging power dissipation
within the ADP1111.
The output voltage of the buck regulator is fed back to the
ADP1111’s FB pin by resistors R1 and R2. When the voltage at
pin FB falls below 1.25 V, the internal power switch turns “on”
again, and the cycle repeats. The output voltage is set by the
formula:

If the input voltage to the ADP1111 varies over a wide range, a
current limiting resistor at Pin 1 may be required. If a particular
circuit requires high peak inductor current with minimum input
supply voltage, the peak current may exceed the switch maximum rating and/or saturate the inductor when the supply
voltage is at the maximum value. See the “Limiting the Switch
Current” section of this data sheet for specific recommendations.

ILIM VIN SW1
A typical configuration for step down operation of the ADP1111
is shown in Figure 19. In this case, the collector of the internal
power switch is connected to VIN and the emitter drives the
inductor. When the switch turns on, SW2 is pulled up towards
VIN. This forces a voltage across L1 equal to VIN – VCE – VOUT
and causes current to flow in L1. This current reaches a final
value of:
I PEAK ≅
+
Unlike the boost configuration, the ADP1111’s internal power
switch is not saturated when operating in step-down mode. A
conservative value for the voltage across the switch in step-down
mode is 1.5 V. This results in high power dissipation within the
ADP1111 when high peak current is required. To increase the
output current, an external PNP switch can be added (Figure
21). In this circuit, the ADP1111 provides base drive to Q1
through R3, while R4 ensures that Q1 turns off rapidly. Because
the ADP1111’s internal current limiting function will not work
in this circuit, R5 is provided for this purpose. With the value
shown, R5 limits current to 2 A. In addition to reducing power
dissipation on the ADP1111, this circuit also reduces the switch
voltage. When selecting an inductor value for the circuit of
Figure 21, the switch voltage can be calculated from the
formula:

When operating the ADP1111 in step-down mode, the output

output voltage is required, a Schottky diode should be placed in

POSITIVE-TO-NEGATIVE CONVERSION
The ADP1111 can convert a positive input voltage to a negative
output voltage as shown in Figure 22. This circuit is essentially
identical to the step-down application of Figure 19, except that
the “output” side of the inductor is connected to power ground.
When the ADP1111’s internal power switch turns off, current
flowing in the inductor forces the output (–VOUT) to a negative
potential. The ADP1111 will continue to turn the switch on
until its FB pin is 1.25 V above its GND pin, so the output
voltage is determined by the formula:
also reduces the circuit’s output voltage sensitivity to temperature, which otherwise would be dominated by the –2 mV VBE
contribution of Q1. The output voltage for this circuit is
determined by the formula:
VOUT = 1.25 V •

The design criteria for the step-down application also apply to
the positive-to-negative converter. The output voltage should be
limited to |6.2 V| unless a diode is inserted in series with the
SW2 pin (see Figure 20.) Also, D1 must again be a Schottky
diode to prevent excessive power dissipation in the ADP1111.
NEGATIVE-TO-POSITIVE CONVERSION
The circuit of Figure 23 converts a negative input voltage to a
positive output voltage. Operation of this circuit configuration is
similar to the step-up topology of Figure 18, except the current
through feedback resistor R2 is level-shifted below ground by a
PNP transistor. The voltage across R2 is VOUT –VBEQ1. However, diode D2 level-shifts the base of Q1 about 0.6 V below
ground thereby cancelling the VBE of Q1. The addition of D2

LIMITING THE SWITCH CURRENT
The ADP1111’s RLIM pin permits the switch current to be
limited with a single resistor. This current limiting action occurs
on a pulse by pulse basis. This feature allows the input voltage
to vary over a wide range without saturating the inductor or
exceeding the maximum switch rating. For example, a particular
design may require peak switch current of 800 mA with a 2.0 V
input. If VIN rises to 4 V, however, the switch current will
exceed 1.6 A. The ADP1111 limits switch current to 1.5 A and
thereby protects the switch, but the output ripple will increase.
Selecting the proper resistor will limit the switch current to
800 mA, even if VIN increases. The relationship between RLIM
and maximum switch current is shown in Figure 6.
The ILIM feature is also valuable for controlling inductor current
when the ADP1111 goes into continuous-conduction mode.

where DC is the ADP1111’s duty cycle. When this relationship
exists, the inductor current does not go all the way to zero
during the time that the switch is OFF. When the switch turns
on for the next cycle, the inductor current begins to ramp up
from the residual level. If the switch ON time remains constant,
the inductor current will increase to a high level (see Figure 24).
This increases output ripple and can require a larger inductor
and capacitor. By controlling switch current with the ILIM
resistor, output ripple current can be maintained at the design
values. Figure 25 illustrates the action of the ILIM circuit.

Figure 26. ADP1111 Current Limit Operation
The delay through the current limiting circuit is approximately
1 µs. If the switch ON time is reduced to less than 3 µs, accuracy
of the current trip-point is reduced. Attempting to program a
switch ON time of 1 µs or less will produce spurious responses
in the switch ON time; however, the ADP1111 will still provide
a properly regulated output voltage.
PROGRAMMING THE GAIN BLOCK
The gain block of the ADP1111 can be used as a low-battery
detector, error amplifier or linear post regulator. The gain block
consists of an op amp with PNP inputs and an open-collector
NPN output. The inverting input is internally connected to the
ADP1111’s 1.25 V reference, while the noninverting input is
available at the SET pin. The NPN output transistor will sink
about 300 µA.
200mA/div
Figure 24.
Figure 27a shows the gain block configured as a low-battery
monitor. Resistors R1 and R2 should be set to high values to
reduce quiescent current, but not so high that bias current in
the SET input causes large errors. A value of 33 kΩ for R2 is a
good compromise. The value for R1 is then calculated from the
formula:
R1 =
V LOBATT − 1.25 V
1.25 V
R2
where VLOBATT is the desired low battery trip point. Since the
gain block output is an open-collector NPN, a pull-up resistor
should be connected to the positive logic power supply.

ADP1111
The internal structure of the ILIM circuit is shown in Figure 26.
Q1 is the ADP1111’s internal power switch that is paralleled by
sense transistor Q2. The relative sizes of Q1 and Q2 are scaled
so that IQ2 is 0.5% of IQ1. Current flows to Q2 through an
internal 80 Ω resistor and through the RLIM resistor. These two
resistors parallel the base-emitter junction of the oscillatordisable transistor, Q3. When the voltage across R1 and RLIM
exceeds 0.6 V, Q3 turns on and terminates the output pulse. If
only the 80 Ω internal resistor is used (i.e. the ILIM pin is
connected directly to VIN), the maximum switch current will be
1.5 A. Figure 6 gives RLIM values for lower current-limit values.

The circuit of Figure 27b may produce multiple pulses when
approaching the trip point due to noise coupled into the SET
input. To prevent multiple interrupts to the digital logic,
hysteresis can be added to the circuit (Figure 27). Resistor
RHYS, with a value of 1 MΩ to 10 MΩ, provides the hysteresis.
The addition of RHYS will change the trip point slightly, so the
new value for R1 will be:

This circuit uses a 9 V battery to generate a +5 V output. The

Voltage-Controlled Positive-to-Negative Converter
High Power, Low Quiescent Current Step-Down Converter
By including an op amp in the feedback path, a simple positiveto-negative converter can be made to give an output that is a
linear multiple of a controlling voltage, Vc. The op amp, an
OP196, rail-to-rail input and output amplifier, sums the
currents from the output and controlling voltage and drives the
FB pin either high or low, thereby controlling the on-board
oscillator. The 0.22 Ω resistor limits the short-circuit current to
about 3 A and, along with the BAT54 Schottky diode, helps
limit the peak switch current over varying input voltages. The
external power switch features an active pull-up to speed up the
turn-off time of the switch. Although an IRF9530 was used in
the evaluation, almost any device that can handle at least 3 A of
peak current at a VDS of at least 50 V is suitable for use in this
application, provided that adequate attention is paid to power
dissipation. The circuit can deliver 2 W of output power with a
+6-volt input from a control voltage range of 0 V to 5 V.
By making use of the fact that the feedback pin directly controls
the internal oscillator, this circuit achieves a shutdown-like state
by forcing the feedback pin above the 1.25 V comparator
threshold. The logic level at the 1N4148 diode anode needs to
be at least 2 V for reliable standby operation.
The external switch driver circuit features an active pull-up
device, a 2N3904 transistor, to ensure that the power MOSFET
turns off quickly. Almost any power MOSFET will do as the
switch as long as the device can withstand the 18 volt VGS and is
reasonably robust. The 0.22 Ω resistor limits the short-circuit
current to about 3 A and, along with the BAT54 Schottky
diode, helps to limit the peak switch current over varying input
voltages.
