AP5002 consists of step-down switching regulator with 
PWM control. These devices include a reference voltage source, 
oscillation circuit, error amplifier, internal PMOS. 
 
AP5002 provides low-ripple power, high efficiency, and excellent 
transient characteristics. The PWM control circuit is able to vary 
the duty ratio linearly up to 100%. This converter also contains 
an error amplifier circuit as well as a soft-start circuit that prevents 
overshoot at startup. An enable function, an over current protect 
function and a short circuit protect function are built inside, and 
when OCP or SCP happens, the operation frequency will be 
reduced from 500KHz to 50KHz. Also, an internal compensation 
block is built in to minimum external component count. 
 
With the addition of an internal P-channel Power MOS, a coil, 
capacitors, and a diode connected externally, these ICs can 
function as step-down switching regulators. They serve as ideal 
power supply units for portable devices when coupled with the 
SOP–8L mini-package, providing such outstanding features as 
low current consumption. Since this converter can accommodate 
an input voltage up to 22V, it is also suitable for the operation via 
an AC adapter.
