Preliminary Datasheet
1.5MHz Synchronous Step-down DC-DC Converter
General Description
The AP3410 is a high efficiency step-down DC-DC
voltage converter. The chip operation is optimized by
peak-current mode architecture with built-in
synchronous power MOSFET switchers. The
oscillator and timing capacitors are all built-in
providing an internal switching frequency of 1.5MHz
that allows the use of small surface mount inductors
and capacitors for portable product implementations.
Integrated Soft Start (SS), Under Voltage Lock Out
(UVLO), Thermal Shutdown Detection (TSD) and
Short Circuit Protection are designed to provide
reliable product applications.
The device is available in adjustable output voltage
version ranging from 0.6V to 0.9×VIN when input
voltage range is from 2.5V to 5.5V, and is able to
deliver up to 1.2A.
The AP3410 is available in SOT-23-5 and
DFN-2×2-6 packages.
