General Description
The AAT2603 is a highly integrated power management
solution for handheld mobile systems. It provides six
regulated voltages from a single-cell Lithium-ion/poly-
mer battery or a 5V supply.
The six outputs are produced by six regulators; two
switching step-down regulators and four low-dropout
(LDO) regulators. Each voltage regulator has its own
independent enable pin.
The high efficiency step-down regulators are fully inte-
grated and switch at a high 1.5 MHz fixed frequency.
They automatically transition to variable frequency
operation at light loads for improved efficiency. DC-DC1
(Buck1) is designed for high output current and low
dropout voltage (200mV at 1.2A). DC-DC2 (Buck2) is a
600mA regulator with a two step dynamic output voltage
capability. One option allows the output voltage of
DC-DC2 (Buck2) to be set to either 1.0V or 1.3V with the
SELB2 logic pin.
LDO regulators LDO1 and LDO2 can supply up to 400mA
of load current with output voltages adjustable down to
1.5V. LDO regulators LDO3 and LDO4 can supply up to
200mA of current and provide good noise and power
supply rejection. LDO3 and LDO4 have output voltages
externally adjustable down to 1.2V.
The AAT2603 is available in a Pb-free, thermally
enhanced 28-pin TQFN44 package and is rated for oper-
ation over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Functional Description
The AAT2603 is a highly integrated voltage regulating
power management unit for mobile handsets or other
portable devices. It includes two switch-mode step-down
converters (600mA [DC-DC2] and 1.2A [DC-DC1]), and
four low-dropout (LDO) regulators (two: 200mA, two:
400mA). It operates from an input voltage between 2.7V
and 5.5V making it ideal for lithium-ion or 5V regulated
power sources. All six converters have separate enable
pins for ease of use.
Step-Down Converters
The AAT2603 switch-mode, step-down converters are
constant frequency peak current mode PWM converters
with internal compensation. The input voltage range is
2.7V to 5.5V. The output voltage range is 0.6V to VIN.
The high 1.5MHz switching frequency allows the use of
small external inductor and capacitor.
The step-down converters offer soft-start to limit the
current surge seen at the input and eliminate output
voltage overshoot. The current across the internal
P-channel power switch is sensed and turns off when the
current exceeds the current limit. Also, thermal protec-
tion completely disables switching if internal dissipation
becomes excessive, thus protecting the device from
damage. The junction over-temperature threshold is
140°C with 15°C of hysteresis.
DC-DC1 (Buck1) is designed for a peak continuous out-
put current of 1.2A. The high-side power switch has
been designed with a low RDSONof145mΩtoallowfora
minimum dropout voltage of 174mV at full load current.

It was designed to maintain over 90% efficiency at its
maximum rated output current load of 1.2A with a 3.3V
output. Peak efficiency is above 95%. Buck1 has excel-
lent transient response, load and line regulation.
Transient response time is typically less than 20µs. The
peak input current is limited to 1.7A.
DC-DC2 (Buck2) is a 600mA step-down regulator
designed to dynamically shift between two output volt-
ages by toggling the SELB2 pin. The internal reference
voltage of the buck regulator is changed based on the
position of the SELB2 pin.
Buck2 is designed to maintain over 85% efficiency at its
maximum rated output current of 600mA with a 1.2V
output. Peak efficiency is above 90%. Buck2 has excel-
lent transient response, load and line regulation. The
peak inductor current is limited to 1.3A.
The two step-down converters on the AAT2603 have
highly flexible output voltage programming capability.
The output voltages can be factory programmed to pre-
set output voltages or set by external resistors. The
“Part Number Descriptions” table lists the available volt-
age options for step-down converters Buck1 and Buck2.
Option 1 has externally adjustable output voltages for
both step-down converters. The dynamic voltage scaling
for Buck2 is still useable with external feedback resis-
tors. When SELB2 is in the low position the feedback
voltage is compared to a 600mV reference, while when
SELB2 is high the reference voltage is 775mV. For most
other options, the output voltages of Buck2 are factory
programmed.
LDO Regulators
The AAT2603 includes four LDO regulators. The regula-
tors operate from the 2.7V to 5.5V input voltage to a
regulated output voltage. The LDO regulators have
adjustable output voltages set by resistors. Each LDO
consumes 50uA of quiescent current.
The two 200mA LDO regulators are stable with a small
4.7µF ceramic output capacitor. The low 200mV dropout
voltage at 200mA load allows a regulated output voltage
approaching the input voltage. Low output noise voltage
and high power supply rejection make these regulators
ideal for powering noise sensitive circuitry.
The two 400mA LDO regulators are stable with a small
4.7µF ceramic output capacitor. The low 300mV dropout
voltage at 400mA load allows a regulated output voltage
approaching the input voltage. These LDOs offer high
power supply rejection.
Application Information
DC-DC1/DC-DC2
The step-down converter uses peak current mode con-
trol with slope compensation to maintain stability for
duty cycles greater than 50%. The output inductor value
must be selected so the inductor current down slope
meets the internal slope compensation requirements.
Table 1 displays suggested inductor values for various
output voltages.
Manufacturer’s specifications list both the inductor DC
current rating, which is a thermal limitation, and the
peak current rating, which is determined by the satura-
tion characteristics. The inductor should not show any
appreciable saturation under normal load conditions.
Some inductors may meet the peak and average current
ratings yet result in excessive losses due to a high DCR.
Always consider the losses associated with the DCR and
its effect on the total converter efficiency when selecting
an inductor.
It is recommended that the inductor current rating
exceed the current limit of the step-down converter. See
Table 2 for example inductor values/vendors.
Input Capacitor
Select a 4.7µF to 10µF X7R or X5R ceramic capacitor for
the input; see Table 3 for suggested capacitor compo-
nents. To estimate the required input capacitor size,
determine the acceptable input ripple level (VPP) and
solve for CIN (CINB1/CINB2). The calculated value varies
with input voltage and is a maximum when VIN is double
the output voltage.

Always examine the ceramic capacitor DC voltage coef-

For example, the capacitance of a 10µF, 6.3V, X5R ceram-
ic capacitor with 5.0V DC applied is actually about 6µF.

appears in both the input voltage rip-
ple and input capacitor RMS current equations and is a
maximum when VO is twice VIN. This is why the input
voltage ripple and the input capacitor RMS current ripple
are a maximum at 50% duty cycle.
The input capacitor provides a low impedance loop for
the edges of pulsed current drawn by the AAT2603 step-
down switching regulators. Low ESR/ESL X7R and X5R
ceramic capacitors are ideal for this function. To mini-
mize stray inductance, the capacitor should be placed as
closely as possible to the IC. This keeps the high fre-
quency content of the input current localized, minimizing
EMI and input voltage ripple.
A laboratory test set-up typically consists of two long
wires running from the bench power supply to the eval-
uation board input voltage pins. The inductance of these
wires, along with the low-ESR ceramic input capacitor,
can create a high Q network that may affect converter
performance. This problem often becomes apparent in
the form of excessive ringing in the output voltage dur-
ing load transients. Errors in the loop phase and gain
measurements can also result.
Since the inductance of a short PCB trace feeding the
input voltage is significantly lower than the power leads
from the bench power supply, most applications do not
exhibit this problem.
In applications where the input power source lead induc-
tance cannot be reduced to a level that does not affect
the converter performance, a high ESR tantalum or alu-
minum electrolytic should be placed in parallel with the
low ESR, ESL bypass ceramic. This dampens the high Q
network and stabilizes the system.
Output Capacitor
The output capacitor limits the output ripple and provides
holdup during large load transitions. A 10µF to 22µF X5R
or X7R ceramic capacitor typically provides sufficient bulk
capacitance to stabilize the output during large load tran-
sitions and has the ESR and ESL characteristics neces-
sary for low output ripple. A 10µF X5R or X7R ceramic
capacitor is required for DC-DC2 and a 22µF X5R or X7R
ceramic capacitor is required for DC-DC1; see Table 3 for
suggested capacitor components.
The output voltage droop due to a load transient is dom-
inated by the capacitance of the ceramic output capacitor.
During a step increase in load current, the ceramic output
capacitor alone supplies the load current until the loop
responds. Within several switching cycles, the loop
responds and the inductor current increases to match the
load current demand. The relationship of the output volt-
age droop during the several switching cycles to the out-
put capacitance can be estimated by:
COUT =
3 · ∆I
LOAD
VDROOP · FS
Once the average inductor current increases to the DC
load level, the output voltage recovers. The above equa-
tion establishes a limit on the minimum value for the
output capacitor with respect to load transients.
The internal voltage loop compensation also limits the
minimum output capacitor value to 10µF for DC-DC2 and
22µF for DC-DC1. This is due to its effect on the loop
crossover frequency (bandwidth), phase margin, and
gain margin. Increased output capacitance will reduce
the crossover frequency with greater phase margin.

Dissipation due to the RMS current in the ceramic output
capacitor ESR is typically minimal, resulting in less than
a few degrees rise in hot-spot temperature.
Feedback Resistor Selection
Resistors R1 and R2 of Figure 1 program the output to
regulate at a voltage higher than 0.6V. To limit the bias
current required for the external feedback resistor string
while maintaining good noise immunity, the minimum
suggested value for R2 is 59kW. Although a larger value
will further reduce quiescent current, it will also increase
the impedance of the feedback node, making it more
sensitive to external noise and interference. Table 42
summarizes the resistor values for various output volt-
ages with R2 set to either 59kW for good noise immu-
nity or 221kW for reduced no load input current.

LDO1/LDO2/LDO3/LDO4
Input Capacitor
Typically, a 2.2µF or larger capacitor is recommended for
CINL12/CINL34/CAIN in most applications. The input capacitor
should be located as close to the input (INL12/INL34/
AIN) of the device as practically possible. CINL12/CINL34/
CAIN values greater than 2.2µF will offer superior input
line transient response and will assist in maximizing the
highest possible power supply ripple rejection.
Ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic capacitors
may be selected for CINL12/CINL34/CAIN. There is no specific
capacitor ESR requirement for CINL12/CINL34/CAIN. However,
for 200mA/400mA LDO regulators output operation,
ceramic capacitors are recommended for CINL12/CINL34/CAIN
due to their inherent capability over tantalum capacitors
to withstand input current surges from low impedance
sources such as batteries in portable devices.
Output Capacitor
For proper load voltage regulation and operational stabil-
ity, a capacitor is required between pins VOUTLX and
AGND. The COUTLX capacitor connection to the LDO regu-
lator ground pin should be made as direct as practically
possible for maximum device performance.
The AAT2603 LDO regulators have been specifically
designed to function with very low ESR ceramic capaci-
tors. Although the device is intended to operate with
these low ESR capacitors, it is stable over a very wide
range of capacitor ESR, thus it will also work with higher
ESR tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
However, for best performance, ceramic capacitors are
recommended.
Typical output capacitor values for maximum output cur-
rent conditions range from 4.7µF to 10µF. If desired,
COUTLX may be increased without limit.
Bypass Capacitor and Low Noise Applications
A bypass capacitor pin is provided to enhance the very
low noise characteristics of the AAT2603 LDO3 and LDO4
regulators. The bypass capacitor is not necessary for
operation of the AAT2603. However, for best device per-
formance, a small ceramic capacitor should be placed
between the bypass pin (BYP) and the device analog
ground pin (AGND). The value of CBYP should be 10nF. For
lowest noise and best possible power supply ripple rejec-
tion performance a 10nF capacitor should be used. To
practically realize the highest power supply ripple rejec-
tion and lowest output noise performance, it is critical
that the capacitor connection between the BYP pin and
AGND pin be direct and PCB traces should be as short as
possible. Refer to the PCB Layout Recommendations sec-
tion of this datasheet for examples.

There is a relationship between the bypass capacitor
value and the LDO regulator turn-on time. In applica-
tions where fast device turn-on time is desired, the
value of CBYP should be reduced.
In applications where low noise performance and/or
ripple rejection are less of a concern, the bypass capac-
itor may be omitted. The fastest device turn-on time will
be realized when no bypass capacitor is used.
DC leakage on this pin can affect the LDO regulator
output noise and voltage regulation performance. For
this reason, the use of a low leakage, high quality
ceramic (NPO or C0G type) or film capacitor is highly
recommended.
Feedback Resistor Selection
Resistors R1 and R2 of Figure 2 program the output to
regulate at a voltage higher than 1.5V for LDO1/LDO2
and 1.2V for LDO3/LDO4. To limit the bias current
required for the external feedback resistor string while
maintaining good noise immunity, the minimum sug-
gested value for R2 is 100kW. Although a larger value
will further reduce quiescent current, it will also increase
the impedance of the feedback node, making it more
sensitive to external noise and interference. Tables 5
and 6 summarize the resistor values for various output
voltages with R2 set to 100kW.

Thermal Calculations
There are three types of losses associated with the
AAT2603 total power management solution [two step-
down and four LDO regulators]: switching losses, con-
duction losses, and quiescent current losses. Conduction
losses are associated with the RDS(ON) characteristics of
the internal power switches/FETs of both of the step-
down regulators and the power loss associated with the
voltage difference across the pass switch/FET of the four
LDO regulators. Switching losses are dominated by the
gate charge of the power output switching devices. At
full load, assuming continuous conduction mode (CCM),
a simplified form of the losses is given by the following
(quiescent and switching losses are ignored, since con-
duction losses are so dominant):

Layout
The suggested PCB layout for the AAT2603 is shown in
Figures 4 and 5. The following guidelines should be used
to help ensure a proper layout.
1. The input capacitors (C1, C2, C7, C13, and C16)
should connect as closely as possible to INB1 (Pin
26), INB2 (Pin 27), AIN (Pin 20), INL12 (Pin 16),
INL34 (Pin 8), and AGND/PGND1/PGND2 (Pins 5,
25, and 27).
2. C3/C18 (step-down regulator output capacitors) and
L1/L2 should be connected as closely as possible.
The connection of L1/L2 to the LX1/LX2 pins should
be as short as possible.
3. The feedback trace or FBXX pin (Pins 3, 6, 10, 14,
18, and 21) should be separate from any power
trace and connect as closely as possible to the load
point. Sensing along a high current load trace will
degrade DC load regulation. If external feedback
resistors are used, they should be placed as closely
as possible to the FBXX pin (Pins 3, 6, 10, 14, 18,
and 21) to minimize the length of the high imped-
ance feedback trace.
4. The resistance of the trace from the load return to
the PGND1/PGND2 (Pins 25 and 28) should be kept
to a minimum. This will help to minimize any error
in DC regulation due to differences in the potential
of the internal signal ground and the power ground.
5. For good thermal coupling, PCB vias are required
from the pad for the TDFN44-28 exposed paddle to
the ground plane.
