Description
The AP3409/A is a current mode, PWM synchronous buck DC/DC
converter, capable of driving a 3A load with high efficiency, excellent
line and load regulation. It operates in continuous PWM mode.
The AP3409/A 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 AP3409/A can be programmable from
300kHz to 4MHz, which allows small-sized components, such as
capacitors and inductors. A standard series of inductors from several
different manufacturers are available. This feature greatly simplifies
the design of switch-mode power supplies.
The AP3409/A is available in U-DFN3030-10 package.

Signal ground. All small-signal ground, such as the compensation
components and exposed pad should be connected to this, which in turn
connects to PGND at one point
Internal power switch output. Connect this pin with one terminal of the

Power good indicator. This pin is 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

Absolute Maximum Ratings (Note 5)
Note 5: Stresses greater than those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “Recommended Operating Conditions” is not implied.
Exposure to “Absolute Maximum Ratings” for extended periods may affect device reliability.
