General Description
AP1533 consists of step-down switching regulator with PWM
control. These devices include a reference voltage source,
oscillation circuit, error amplifier, internal PMOS.
AP1533 provides low-ripple power, high efficiency, and excellent
transient characteristics. The PWM control circuit is able to vary
the duty ratio linearly from 0 up to 99%. 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 300KHz 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 23V, it is also suitable for the operation via an
AC adapter.

Caution: The absolute maximum ratings are rated values exceeding which the product could suffer physical damage.
These values must therefore not be exceeded under any conditions.
The AP1533 is a DC/DC converter that employs pulse width
modulation (PWM) scheme. Its pulse width varies in the range of
0% to 99%, based on the output current loading. The output
ripple voltage caused by the PWM high frequency switching can
easily be reduced through an output filter. Therefore, this
converter provides a low ripple output supply over a broad range
of input voltage & output current loading
Under Voltage Lockout
The under voltage lockout circuit of the AP1533 assures that the
high-side MOSFET driver remains in the off state whenever the
supply voltage drops below 3.3V. Normal operation resumes
once V
Current Limit Protection
The current limit threshold is set by external resistor R
connected from V
current I
at OCSET pin. When the PWM voltage is less than the voltage at
OCSET, an over-current condition is triggered.
The current limit threshold is given by the following equation:
where,

Where ΔI
ripple current and small value inductors result in high ripple
current. Choose inductor ripple current approximately 15% of the
maximum load current 1.8A, ∆I
the inductor should be at least equal to the maximum load current
plus half the ripple current to prevent core saturation
(1.8A+0.135A).
Input Capacitor Selection
This capacitor should be located close to the IC using short leads
and the voltage rating should be approximately 1.5 times the
maximum input voltage. The RMS current rating requirement for
the input capacitor of a buck regulator is approximately 1⁄2 the
DC load current. A low ESR input capacitor sized for maximum
RMS current must be used. A 470µF low ESR capacitor for most
applications is sufficient.
Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor is required to filter the output voltage and
provides regulator loop stability. The important capacitor
parameters are the 100KHz Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR),
the RMS ripples current rating, voltage rating and capacitance
value. For the output capacitor, the ESR value is the most
important parameter. The output ripple can be calculated from
the following formula.
The bulk capacitor’s ESR will determine the output ripple voltage
and the initial voltage drop after a high slew-rate transient.
An aluminum electrolytic capacitor's ESR value is related to the
capacitance and its voltage rating. In most case, higher voltage
electrolytic capacitors have lower ESR values. Most of the time,
capacitors with much higher voltage ratings may be needed to
provide the low ESR values required for low output ripple voltage.
