General Description
The AP3503 is a 340kHz fixed frequency, 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 N-channel power MOSFET
switches with low on-resistance. Current mode
control provides fast transient response and
cycle-by-cycle current limit.
The AP3503 employs complete protection to ensure
system security. Including output Over Voltage
Protection, input Under Voltage LockOut,
programmable soft-start, Over Temperature
Protection to safeguard the circuit.
This IC is available in PSOP-8 package.
