General Description
The AP3512E is a 500kHz fixed frequency, current
mode, PWM synchronous buck (step-down) DC-DC
converter, capable of driving a 2A load with high
efficiency, excellent line and load regulation. The
AP3512E exhibits high efficiency at light load. The
device integrates N-channel power MOSFET switch
with low on-resistance. Current mode control
provides fast transient response and cycle-by-cycle
current limit.
The AP3512E employs complete protection to ensure
system security, including output Over Voltage
Protection, input Under Voltage Lock Out,
programmable Soft-start, Over Temperature
Protection and hiccup mode Short Circuit Protection.
This IC is available in SOIC-8 and PSOP-8 packages.
