APE1912
STEP-UP PWM DC/DC CONVERTER
DESCRIPTION
The APE1912 is high efficient step-up DC/DC
converter. Large output current is possible having a built in
internal N channel MOSFET, and using an external coil and
diode.
The APE1912 can be operated at switching
frequencies of 500 kHz allowing for easy filtering and low
noise, the size of the external components can be reduced.
Output voltage is programmable with 1.0V of standard
voltage supply internal, and using externally connected
components, output voltage (FB) can be set up at will. The
soft-start time can be programmed by outside capacitor; the
function prevents overshoot at startup. Build inside Current
limit, Thermal Shutdown and enable functions.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
PWM Control
APE1912
The APE1912 consists of DC/DC converters that employ a pulse-width modulation
(PWM) system. In converters of the APE1912, the pulse width varies in a range from 0 to
85%, 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.
Setting the Output Voltage
Application circuit item shows the basic application circuit with APE1912 adjustable
output version. The external resistor sets the output voltage according to the following
equation:

= 1.0V x (1+R4/R3)

Input Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor reduces the surge current drawn from the input and switching
noise from the device. The input capacitor impedance at the switching frequency shall be
less than input source impedance to prevent high frequency switching current passing to
the input. A low ESR input capacitor sized for maximum RMS current must be used.
The capacitor voltage rating should be at least 1.5 times greater than the input
voltage, and often much higher voltage ratings are needed to satisfy.
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor is required to keep the output voltage ripple small and to
ensure regulation loop stability. The output capacitor must have low impedance at the
switching frequency. A low ESR capacitor sized for maximum RMS current must be
used. The low ESR requirements needed for low output ripple voltage.
The capacitor voltage rating should be at least 1.5 times greater than the input
voltage, and often much higher voltage ratings are needed to satisfy.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Output Capacitor Selection
APE1912
When laying out the PC board, the following suggestions should be taken to ensure
proper operation of the APE1912. These items are also illustrated graphically in below.
1. The power traces, including the Source trace, the Schottky and the C1 trace should
be kept short, direct and wide to allow large current flow.
2. The power ground & R
FB
ground is keep C4 ’ s ground closed and far away signal
ground.
3. The signal ground trance is distant from power ground trance.
4. The exposed pad is connecting to SW trace closely and widely. (Reduce IC
temperature)
5. Do not trace signal line under inductor.
