Multiple smaller capacitors can be connected in parallel to yield
lower ESR and potential cost savings. For lighter loads, propor-
tionally smaller capacitors are required. To reduce high frequency
noise, bypass the output with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor in parallel
with the output capacitor.
Pump Capacitor
The ADP3607 alternately charges C
P
to the input voltage when
C
P
is switched in parallel with the input supply, and then trans-
fers charge to C
O
when C
P
is switched in parallel with C
O
. Dur-
ing the time C
P
is charging, the peak current is approximately
two times the output current. During the time C
P
is delivering
charge to C
O
, the supply current drops down to about 3 mA.
A low ESR capacitor has much greater impact on performance
for C
P
than C
O
since current through C
P
is twice the C
O
cur-
rent. Therefore, the voltage drop due to C
P
is about four times
the ESR of C
P
times the load current. While the ESR of C
O
affects the output ripple voltage, the voltage drop generated by
the ESR of C
P
,
combined with the voltage drop due to the out-
put source resistance, determines the maximum available V
OUT
.
Improved Load Regulation
In most applications, IR drops due to printed circuit board
traces are not critical. V
SENSE
should be connected to the output
at a convenient pcb location close to the load. However, if a
reduction in IR drops, or improvement in load regulation is
desired, the sense line can be used to monitor the output voltage
at the load. To avoid excessive noise pickup, keep the V
SENSE
line as short as possible and away from any noisy line.
Shutdown Mode
The ADP3607’s output can be disabled by pulling the SD Pin
to a TTL/CMOS logic high level which will stop the internal
oscillator. Applying a logic low will turn ON the oscillator. If
the shutdown feature is not used, the SD pin should be tied to
ground. The shutdown mode current is dominated by the resis-
tor divider connected to the V
SENSE
pin. This current can be
calculated using one of the following formulas.

Because of the external Schottky diode between V
IN
and V
OUT
,
the output voltage will be held to a diode drop below V
IN
when
the ADP3607 is in shutdown mode.
Power Dissipation
The power dissipation of the ADP3607 circuit must be limited
such that the junction temperature of the device does not exceed
the maximum junction temperature rating. Total power dissipa-
tion is calculated as follows:
P = (2 VIN – VOUT) IOUT + (VIN) IS
Where I
OUT
and I
S
are output current and supply current, V
IN
and V
OUT
are input and output voltages respectively.
For example: assuming worst case conditions, V
IN
= 5 V,
V
OUT
= 5 V, I
OUT
= 50 mA and I
S
= 6 mA. Calculated device
power dissipation is:
P ≈ (2 × 5 V – 5 V)(0.05 A) + (5 V)(0.006 A) = 280 mW
This is far below the 660 mW power dissipation capability of the
ADP3607.
General Board Layout Guidelines
Since the ADP3607’s internal switches turn on and off very
quickly, good PC board layout practices are critical to ensure
optimal operation of the device. Improper layouts will result in
poor load regulation, especially with heavy loads. Following
these simple layout guidelines will improve output performance.
1. Use adequate ground and power traces or planes.
2. Use single point ground for device ground and input and
output capacitor grounds.
3. Keep external components as close to the device as possible.
4. Use short traces from the input and output capacitors
to the input and output pins respectively.
Maximum Output Voltage
Maximum unregulated output voltage can be obtained by con-
necting the V
SENSE
pin to ground instead of to the V
OUT
pin (see
Figure 18). Under this condition, the magnitude of the unregu-
lated output voltage depends on the load current. V
OUT
is
inversely proportional to the load current.
