Analog Devices Inc. ADP2386ACPZN-R7 High-Current Synchronous Buck Converter
The ADP2386ACPZN-R7 from Analog Devices Inc. is a high-performance, 6A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter designed for powering advanced electronic systems. Operating over an input voltage range of 4.5V to 20V, it delivers an adjustable output voltage from 0.6V to 85% of the input voltage with exceptional efficiency. Housed in a compact 3mm × 3mm LFCSP-10 package, this converter utilizes a current-mode control architecture with a fixed 1.2MHz switching frequency (adjustable via external resistor) and supports operation across the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). The integrated 45mΩ high-side and 25mΩ low-side MOSFETs minimize power losses, while features like Power Good monitoring and soft-start control enhance system reliability.
ADP2386ACPZN-R7 Buck Switching Regulator IC Key Features
This converter delivers up to 96% efficiency at full load, enabled by its low-RDS(on) MOSFETs and adaptive gate drive technology. It includes precision voltage regulation (±1% accuracy over temperature) and programmable soft-start to prevent inrush current surges. Robust protection features include cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown, and hiccup-mode short-circuit protection. The ADP2386ACPZN-R7 supports external frequency synchronization (600kHz to 1.4MHz) for EMI reduction and offers a lightweight Eco Mode™ to optimize light-load efficiency. Its adjustable loop compensation and integrated bootstrap diode simplify design customization for diverse applications.
ADP2386ACPZN-R7 Applications
The ADP2386ACPZN-R7 is ideal for high-current power rails in industrial automation controllers, 5G base station modules, and server-grade computing systems. It powers FPGAs, GPUs, and ASICs in data center equipment, automotive ADAS platforms, and medical imaging devices. Additional use cases include UAV propulsion systems, robotics motor drivers, and high-density power supplies for IoT edge nodes requiring stable 12V/24V bus conversion.
Selection Advantages
Compared to competing 6A converters, the ADP2386ACPZN-R7 stands out with its superior thermal performance in compact designs, enabled by the LFCSP package’s exposed thermal pad. Its wide input voltage range and high switching frequency allow for smaller external inductors, reducing overall solution size by 30% versus lower-frequency alternatives. The combination of Eco Mode™ and synchronization capabilities ensures optimal efficiency across load ranges, outperforming fixed-frequency peers in battery-powered systems. Analog Devices’ proprietary control loop architecture provides faster transient response (<5μs recovery time for 50% load steps), making it uniquely suited for dynamic loads in AI accelerator cards and high-speed data acquisition systems.
