AP1539 consists of step-down switching regulator with PWM
control. These devices include a reference voltage source,
oscillation circuit, error amplifier, internal PMOS.
AP1539 provides low-ripple power, high efficiency, and excellent
transient characteristics. The PWM control circuit is able to vary
the duty ratio linearly from 0 up to 99%. This converter also
contains an error amplifier circuit as well as a soft-start circuit that
prevents overshoot at startup. An enable function, an over
current protect function and a short circuit protect function are built
inside, and when OCP or SCP happens, the operation frequency
will be reduced from 300KHz to 50KHz. Also, an internal
compensation block is built in to minimum external component
count. With the addition of an internal P-channel Power MOS, a
coil, capacitors, and a diode connected externally, these ICs can
function as step-down switching regulators. They serve as ideal
power supply units for portable devices when coupled with the
SOP-8L-DEP mini-package, providing such outstanding features
as low current consumption. Since this converter can
accommodate an input voltage up to 18V, it is also suitable for the
operation via an AC adapter.
