1.5MHz, 2.5A, Step-down DC-DC Converter AP3432
Data Sheet
General Description
The AP3432 is a high efficiency step-down DC-DC
voltage converter. The chip operation is optimized
by peak-current mode architecture with built-in
synchronous power MOSFET switchers.
The oscillator and timing capacitors are all built-in
providing an internal switching frequency of 1.5MHz
that allows the use of small surface mount inductors
and capacitors for portable product implementations.
Additional features including Soft Start (SS), Under
Voltage Lock Out (UVLO), Thermal Shutdown
Detection (TSD) and short circuit protection are
integrated to provide reliable product applications.
The device is available in adjustable output voltage
versions ranging from 0.8V to V
voltage range is from 2.7V to 5.5V, and is able to
deliver up to 2.5A.
The AP3432 is available in DFN-3×3-6 package.
