GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
The ADP2107 evaluation board is a complete step-down dc-to-dc 
converter solution using the ADP2107 step-down dc-to-dc 
converter. It provides a ±1% accurate (±3% over all conditions), 
regulated output voltage with load currents up to 2 A. It comes 
in two versions: the ADP2107-1.8-EVAL with fixed output 
voltage of 1.8 V, and the ADP2107-EVAL with adjustable output 
voltage initially set to 2.5 V.  
The ADP2107 is a synchronous, step-down dc-to-dc converter 
that uses a current-mode pulse width modulation (PWM) 
control scheme at medium-to-heavy load currents for high 
efficiency, but smoothly transitions to a pulse frequency 
modulation (PFM) scheme at light loads to conserve power.  
The power switch and synchronous rectifier are integrated for 
minimal external part count and high efficiency. The ADP2107 
has been optimized for operation with small ferrite core 
inductors and tiny ceramic capacitors to deliver the maximum 
output power per square inch of the PCB board area.

data sheet.
