A Product Line of
Diodes Incorporated
1.5A, 1.4MHz High Efficiency Synchronous DC-DC Buck Converter
Description
The AP3418 is a 1.4MHz fixed frequency, current mode, PWM
synchronous buck (step-down) DC-DC converter, capable of driving a
1.5A load with high efficiency, excellent line and load regulation. The
device integrates synchronous P-channel and N-channel power
MOSFET switches with low on-resistance. It is ideal for powering
portable equipment that runs from a single Li-ion battery.
A standard series of inductors are available from several different
manufacturers optimized for use with the AP3418. This feature greatly
simplifies the design of switch-mode power supplies.
The AP3418 is available in SOT25 package.
