AP1501
150KHZ, 3A PWM BUCK DC/DC CONVERTER
Description
The AP1501 is a fully integrated step-down DC/DC converter, with the
ability to drive 3A load without the need of additional driver
components. The AP1501 operates at a switching frequency of
150kHz enabling the use of small size filter components. As a result,
board space is reduced and BOM costs are lowered.
The AP1501 has integrated the shutdown function that allows standby
mode to be activated via an external logic signal input. The internal
compensation facilitates feedback control for line and load regulation
without the need of an external circuitry. The AP1501 has a built-in
Thermal shutdown and Current Limit function to prevent damage from
high operating temperature and high current operating to the output
switch.
Additional features include a guaranteed +/- 4% tolerance on the
output voltage under specified input and output load conditions, and
+/- 15% on oscillator frequency. The AP1501 offers both fixed and
adjustable output voltages. For fixed outputs the AP1501 supports
3.3V, 5.0V and 12V. The package options available are standard 5-
lead TO263 and TO220 packages.
