General Description
AP1510 consists of step-down switching regulator with PWM control.
These devices include a reference voltage source, oscillation circuit,
error amplifier, and internal PMOS.
AP1510 provides low-ripple power, high efficiency, and excellent
transient characteristics. The PWM control circuit is able to vary the
duty ratio linearly from 0 up to 100%. This converter also contains
an error amplifier circuit as well as a soft-start circuit that prevents
overshoot at startup. An enable function, an over current protect
function and a short circuit protect function are built inside, and
when OCP or SCP happens, the operation frequency will be
reduced from 300KHz to 30KHz. Also, an internal compensation
block is built in to minimum external component count.
With the addition of an internal P-channel Power MOS, a coil,
capacitors, and a diode connected externally, these ICs can function
as step-down switching regulators. They serve as ideal power
supply units for portable devices when coupled with the SOP–8L
mini-package, providing such outstanding features as low current
consumption. Since this converter can accommodate an input
voltage up to 23V, it is also suitable for the operation via an AC
adapter.

Function Description
PWM Control
The AP1510 consists of DC/DC converters that employ a
pulse-width modulation (PWM) system.
In converters of the AP1510, the pulse width varies in a range
from 0 to 100%, according to the load current. The ripple voltage
produced by the switching can easily be removed through a filter
because the switching frequency remains constant. Therefore,
these converters provide a low-ripple power over broad ranges of
input voltage and load current.
Under Voltage Lockout
The under voltage lockout circuit of the AP1510 assures that the
high-side MOSFET driver outputs remain in the off state
whenever the supply voltage drops below 3.3V. Normal operation
resumes once V
CC
rises above 3.5V.
R
DS(ON)
Current Limiting
The current limit threshold is setting by the external resistor
connecting from V
CC
supply to OCSET. The internal 100uA sink
current crossing the resistor sets the voltage at pin of OCSET.
When the PWM voltage is less than the voltage at OCSET, an
over-current condition is triggered.
