General Description
The AP3433 is a current mode, PWM synchronous
buck (step-down) DC-DC converter, capable of
driving a
3A load with high efficiency, excellent line
and load regulation.
The device integrates two N-channel power
MOSFETs with low on-resistance. Current mode
control provides fast transient response and
cycle-by-cycle current limit.
The switching frequency of AP3433 can be
programmable from 300kHz to 2MHz, 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.
Under voltage lockout is internally set at 2.6V, but
can be increased by programming the threshold with
a resistor network on the enable pin. The output
voltage startup ramp is controlled by the soft-start pin.
An open drain power good signal indicates the output
is within 93% to 107% of its nominal voltage.
The AP3433 is available in QFN-3×3-16 package.
