Preliminary Datasheet
Dual 1.1MHz, 800mA Synchronous DC-DC Buck Converter AP3422

General Description
The AP3422 contains two independent 1.1MHz fixed
frequency, current mode, PWM synchronous buck
(step-down) DC-DC converters, each of them is
capable of driving a 800mA load with high efficiency,
excellent line and load regulation. Each converter
integrates a main switch and a synchronous switch
without an external Schottky diode. It is ideal for
powering portable equipment that runs from a single
Li-ion battery.
A standard series of inductors are available from
several different manufacturers optimized for use
with the AP3422. This feature greatly simplifies the
design of switch-mode power supplies.
This IC is available in DFN-3×3-10 package.
