General Description
The AP3431 is a high efficiency step-down DC-DC
voltage converter. The chip operation is optimized
by peak-current mode architecture with built-in
synchronous power MOS switchers. The oscillator
and timing capacitors are all built-in providing an
internal switching frequency of 1MHz that allows
the use of small surface mount inductors and
capacitors for portable product implementations.
Integrated Soft Start (SS), Under Voltage Lock Out
(UVLO), Thermal Shutdown Detection (TSD) and
short circuit protection are designed to provide
reliable product applications.
The device is available in adjustable output voltage
versions ranging fro
m 0.8V to 0.9×V
IN
when input
voltage range is from 2.7V to 5.5V , and is able to
deliver up to 2.0A.
The AP3431 is available in SOIC-8 package.
