3A, 4MHz HIGH EFFICIENCY SYNCHRONOUS BUCK CONVERTER
Description
The AP3409/A is a current mode, PWM synchronous buck DC/DC
converter, capable of driving a 3A load with high efficiency, excellent
line and load regulation. It operates in continuous PWM mode.
The AP3409/A integrates synchronous P-channel and N-channel
power MOSFET switches with low on-resistance. It is ideal for
portable applications powered from a single Li-ion battery. 100% duty
cycle and low on-resistance P-channel internal power MOSFET can
maximize the battery life.
The switching frequency of AP3409/A can be programmable from
300kHz to 4MHz, which allows small-sized components, such as
capacitors and inductors. A standard series of inductors from several
different manufacturers are available. This feature greatly simplifies
the design of switch-mode power supplies.
The AP3409/A is available in U-DFN3030-10 package.
