The AP3211 is a 1.4MHz fixed frequency, current
mode, PWM buck (step-down) DC-DC converter,
capable of driving a 1.5A load with high efficiency,
excellent line and load regulation. The device
integrates N-channel power MOSFET switch with
low on-resistance. Current mode control provides fast
transient response and cycle-by-cycle current limit.
A standard series of inductors are available from
several different manufacturers optimized for use
with the AP3211. This feature greatly simplifies the
design of switch-mode power supplies.

Control input pin. Forcing this pin above 1.5V enables the IC.
Forcing this pin below 0.4V shuts down the IC. When the IC is
in shutdown mode, all functions are disabled to decrease the
supply current below 1μA
