ADI Expands Versatile High-Current DC-DC Switching Controller Family
Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) has introduced the ADP1851 wide-input-range, synchronous, step-down DC-to-DC controller with voltage tracking and synchronization capability. The ADP1851 expands ADI's popular series of configurable controllers following the recently introduced ADP1853. The versatile ADP1851/53 can be configured to work as a voltage-mode controller with input feed-forward or as a current-mode controller, depending on the application and customer preference. The ADP1851/53 are designed for high efficiency, high current, fast, transient point-of-load applications in a broad range of communications networking, industrial, medical, and consumer applications.

The ADP1851/53 can be connected in parallel to achieve higher current delivery -- up to 50 A depending on the external FETs. The ADP1851 features a synchronization input eliminating troublesome "beat" frequencies and reducing system input capacitance when multiple devices with phase-shifted synchronization are used. The ADP1851 also has a tracking capability that enables controlled start-up. Simple, robust sequencing can be implemented using the precision enable and power-good functions. The ADP1851 is available in a 16-lead LFCSP (4-mm x 4-mm) package while the ADP1853 with clock out is available in a 24-lead (4-mm x4-mm) LFCSP package.

More About the ADP1851/53 Versatile DC-DC Switching Controller Series
In current-mode control, the ADP1851/53 architecture detects the current during the off period to improve noise immunity using the on-resistance of the low-side FET -- or a series sense resistor for higher accuracy. Externally adjustable slope compensation is added to optimize performance in current mode. With minor adjustments to external resistor settings, the ADP1851/53 can be configured for voltage-mode control for improved noise performance, using input line feed-forward for excellent line rejection. The ADP1851/53 series has a selectable pulse-skip mode to increase efficiency during light load operation. The device also has an accurate current limit, which allows for the sizing selection of external components to optimize valuable PCB space. The ADP1851and ADP1853 are supported by ADI's online ADIsimPower™ tools, making the device easy to use and reducing design time.
ADP1853 Key Features and Benefits
* Configurable as voltage-mode or current-mode controller depending on the application and customer preferences
* Wide range input from 2.75 V to 20 V allows operation from commonly used voltage rails: 3.3 V, 5 V and 12 V
* Power-good and precision enable simple, robust sequencing and health detection
* Programmable, accurate current limit optimizes output inductor and solution size
* Synchronization function eliminates potential "beat" frequencies and can be used to reduce input current ripple using phase-shift synchronization - ADP1853 adds clock out master feature
* Reference accuracy: ±1% over the temperature range from -40°C to +125°C and ±0.5% from -40°C to +85°C.
* Selectable pulse-skip mode for energy saving at light load
* Easy to Use ADIsimPower™ tool reduces design time

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
