Vout3 of ADP1031 not used

Thread Summary

The user asked if VOUT3, FB3, and SW3 can be left unconnected if VOUT3 is not used on the ADP1031. The final answer states that SW3 should be floating, VOUT3 should be tied to GND, and FB3 must be within 0.8V to 0.88V relative to VOUT3/GND to disable SW3 and retain PWRGD functionality. A resistor divider from VOUT2 can be used to set the FB3 voltage, e.g., 10kΩ and 51.5kΩ for a 5V VOUT2.

Hello.

I have a question. Please tell me.

If VOUT3 is not used, can VOUT3, FB3 and SW3 be left unconnected?

I think the ADP1032 is recommended, but I am considering whether it can be replaced because there are no parts.

Best Regards.

  • Hi baggio,

    The inverter/VOUT3 on the ADP1031 can be disable by:

    1. removing the inductor connected to SW3, SW3 should be floating.
    2. VOUT3 should be tied to GND.
    3. FB3 must be supplied within this range 0.8V < VFB3 < 0.8V +10% in reference to VOUT3/GND to disable the SW3 from turning on.
      1. The voltage on FB3 can be generated from VOUT2 through resistor dividers. For example, for 5V VOUT2 – use 10kohm across the FB3 and VOUT3/GND. Use 51.5kohm resistor across VOUT2 and FB3. This resistor divider combination will give 0.818V on FB3 in reference to VOUT3/GND.

    This will not only disable the switching of the SW3 but also retain the PWRGD functionality.

    Thanks,
