Description
The AP3418 is a 1.4MHz fixed frequency, current mode, PWM
synchronous buck (step-down) DC-DC converter, capable of driving a
1.5A load with high efficiency, excellent line and load regulation. The
device integrates synchronous P-channel and N-channel power
MOSFET switches with low on-resistance. It is ideal for powering
portable equipment that runs from a single Li-ion battery.
A standard series of inductors are available from several different
manufacturers optimized for use with the AP3418. This feature greatly
simplifies the design of switch-mode power supplies.
The AP3418 is available in SOT25 package.

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
Power switch output pin. Inductor connection to drain of the internal PFET
and NFET switches
Supply input pin. Bypass to GND with a 4.7µF or greater ceramic
capacitor
This is the feedback pin of the device. Connect this pin directly to the
output if the fixed output voltage version is used. For the adjustable
version, an external resistor divider is connected to this pin
