AP1507

150KHz, 3A PWM Buck DC/DC Converter

„ Features „ General Description

- Output voltage: 3.3V, 5V, 12V and adjustable The AP1507 series are monolithic IC designed for a
output version step-down DC/DC converter, and own the ability of
- Adjustable version output voltage range, 1.23V to driving a 3A load without external transistor. Due to
18V+4% reducing the number of external component, the
- 150KHz +15% fixed switching frequency board space can be saved easily. The external
- Voltage mode non-synchronous PWM control shutdown function can be controlled by logic level
- Thermal-shutdown and current-limit protection and then come into standby mode. The internal
compensation makes feedback control have good
- ON /OFF shutdown control input
line and load regulation without external design.
- Operating voltage can be up to 22V
Regarding protected function, thermal shutdown is
- Output load current: 3A
to prevent over temperature operating from damage,
- TO252-5L packages
and current limit is against over current operating of
- Low power standby mode the output switch. If current limit function occurred
- Built-in switching transistor on chip and VFB is down to 0.5V below, the switching
frequency will be reduced. The AP1507 series
„ Applications operates at a switching frequency of 150KHz thus
allowing smaller sized filter components than what
- Simple High-efficiency step-down regulator would be needed with lower frequency switching
- On-card switching regulators regulators. Other features include a guaranteed
- Positive to negative converter +4% tolerance on output voltage under specified
input voltage and output load conditions, and +15%
on the oscillator frequency. The output version
included fixed 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and an adjustable
type. The package is available in a 5-lead TO-252.
