1.4MHz, 1.5A ASYNCHRONOUS DC-DC BUCK CONVERTER AP3211

General Description Features

The AP3211 is a 1.4MHz fixed frequency, current • Input Voltage Range: 4.5V to 18V
mode, PWM buck (step-down) DC-DC converter, • Output Voltage Adjustable from 0.81V to 15V
capable of driving a 1.5A load with high efficiency, • Fixed 1.4MHz Frequency
excellent line and load regulation. The device • High Efficiency: up to 92%
integrates N-channel power MOSFET switch with • Output Current: 1.5A
low on-resistance. Current mode control provides fast • Current Mode Control
transient response and cycle-by-cycle current limit. • Built-in Over Current Protection
• Built-in Thermal Shutdown Function
A standard series of inductors are available from • Built-in UVLO Function
several different manufacturers optimized for use • Built-in Over Voltage Protection
with the AP3211. This feature greatly simplifies the • Built-in Soft-start
design of switch-mode power supplies.

The AP3211 is available in SOT-23-6 package. Applications

• LCD TV
• DPF
• Portable DVD

Pin Description

Pin Number Pin Name Function

Bootstrap pin. A bootstrap capacitor is connected between the

1 BS BS pin and SW pin. The voltage across the bootstrap capacitor
drives the internal high-side NMOS switch
2 GND Ground pin
Feedback pin. This pin is connected to an external resistor
divider to program the system output voltage. When VFB exceeds
3 FB 20% of the nominal regulation value of 0.81V, the OVP is
triggered. When VFB＜0.25V, the oscillator frequency is lowered
to realize short circuit protection
Control input pin. Forcing this pin above 1.5V enables the IC.
Forcing this pin below 0.4V shuts down the IC. When the IC is
4 EN
in shutdown mode, all functions are disabled to decrease the
supply current below 1μA
Supply input pin. A capacitor should be connected between the
5 IN
IN pin and GND to keep the DC input voltage constant
Power switch output pin. This pin is connected to the inductor
6 SW
and bootstrap capacitor
