General Description
The APW7138 is a single-phase, constant-on-time, and
synchronous PWM controller which drives N-channel
MOSFETs. The APW7138 steps down high voltage of a
battery to generate low-voltage chipset or RAM supplies
in notebook computers.
The APW7138 provides excellent transient response and
accurate DC voltage output in either PFM or PWM Mode.
In Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) Mode, the APW7138
provides very high efficiency over light load with loadingmodulated switching frequencies. When the inductor
current is continuous, the operation automatically enters
PWM mode with relatively constant switching frequency.
For QFN4x4-16A and TQFN3x3-16 packages, the ForcedPWM Mode works nearly at constant frequency for lownoise requirements.
The APW7138 is equipped with accurate over-current,
output under-voltage, and over-voltage protections perfect for NB application. A Power-On-Reset function monitors the voltage on VCC pin to prevent errorneous operation during power-on. The APW7138 has a digital softstart and soft-stop. The internal integrated soft-start ramps
up the output voltage with controlled slew rate to reduce
the start-up current. The digital soft-stop function actively
discharges the output capacitors with controlled reverse
inductor current.
The APW7138 is available in SSOP-16, QFN4x4-16A, and
TQFN3x3-16 packages.

Note: ANPEC lead-free products contain molding compounds/die attach materials and 100% matte tin plate termination finish; which
are fully compliant with RoHS. ANPEC lead-free products meet or exceed the lead-free requirements of IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D for
MSL classification at lead-free peak reflow temperature. ANPEC defines “Green” to mean lead-free (RoHS compliant) and halogen
