2A, 4MHz High Efficiency Synchronous Buck Converter AP3408
Preliminary Datasheet
General Description
The AP3408 is a current mode, PWM synchronous
buck DC/DC converter, capable of driving a 2A load
with high efficiency, excellent line and load
regulation. It operates in continuous PWM mode.
The AP3408 integrates synchronous P-channel and
N-channel power MOSFET switches with low
on-resistance. It is ideal for portable applications
powered from a single Li-ion battery. 100% duty
cycle and low on-resistance P-channel internal power
MOSFET can maximize the battery life.
The switching frequency of AP3408 can be
programmable from 300kHz to 4MHz, which allows
small-sized components, such as capacitors
inductors
different manufacturers are available. This feature
greatly simplifies the design of switch-mode power
supplies.
The AP3408 is available in DFN-3×3-10 and PSOP-8
packages.

Pin Name Description
Oscillator resistor input. Connect a resistor to GND from
this pin to set the switching frequency. Forcing this pin to
V
to shutdown the device
DD
External clock synchronization input. The oscillation
frequency can be synchronized to an external oscillation
applied to this pin. When tied to VDD, the internal
oscillator is selected
Signal ground. All small-signal ground, such as the
compensation components and the exposed pad should be
connected to this pin, which in turn connects to PGND at
one point
Internal power switch output. Connect this pin with one
terminal of the inductor
Power ground. Connect this pin as close as possible to CIN
and COUT
Power input supply. Decouple this pin to PGND with a
capacitor
Signal input supply. Decouple this pin to GND with a
capacitor. Normally V
is equal to V
DD
Power Good Indicator. Open-drain logic output that is
pulled to ground when the output voltage is not within ±
12.5% of regulation point
Feedback voltage. This pin is the inverting input of internal
error amplifier. It senses the converter output voltage
through an external resistor divider. The internal reference
voltage is 0.8V, which determines the output voltage
through the resistor divider
Compensation input. This pin is the output of internal error
amplifier. Connect external compensation elements to this
pin to stabilize the control loop
