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.
