General Description 
 
The
AP3586A/B/C
is
a
compact
synchronous
-rectified buck controller specifically designed to 
operate from 5V or 12V supply voltage and deliver 
high-quality output voltage as low as 0.6V 
(AP3586A) or 0.8V (AP3586B/C). This device 
operates at fixed 300kHz (AP3586A/B) or 200kHz 
(AP3586C) frequency and provides an optimal level 
of integration to reduce size and cost of the power 
supply. 
 
This controller integrates internal MOSFET drivers 
that support 12V+12V bootstrapped voltage for high- 
efficiency power conversion. The bootstrap diode is 
built-in to simplify the circuit design and minimize 
external part count. 
 
This controller provides single feedback loop, 
voltage-mode control with fast transient response. 
The error amplifier features a 10MHz gain-bandwidth 
product and 6V/µs slew rate which enables high 
converter bandwidth for fast transient performance. 
 
Other features include internal soft-start, under 
voltage protection, over current protection and 
shutdown function. With afore-mentioned functions, 
this part provides customers a compact, high 
efficiency, well-protected and cost-effective 
solutions. 
The AP3586A/B/C is available in SOIC-8 and 
PSOP-8 packages.
