340kHz, 3A Synchronous DC-DC Buck Converter AP3503F
Data Sheet
General Description
The AP3503F is a 340kHz fixed frequency, current
mode, PWM synchronous buck (step-down) DC-DC
converter, capable of driving a 3A load with high
efficiency, excellent line and load regulation. The
device integrates N-channel power MOSFET
switches with low on-resistance. Current mode
control provides fast transient response and
cycle-by-cycle current limit.
The AP3503F employs complete protection to ensure
system security. Including output Over Voltage
Protection, input Under Voltage LockOut,
programmable soft-start, Over Temperature
Protection to safeguard the circuit.
This IC is available in PSOP-8 package.

and SW pin. The voltage across the bootstrap capacitor drives the
internal high-side power MOSFET
IN
SW
Supply power input pin. A capacitor should be connected between the
IN pin and GND pin to keep the input voltage constant
Power switch output pin. This pin is connected to the inductor and
bootstrap capacitor
GND Ground pin
Feedback pin. This pin is connected to an exte rnal resistor divider to
program the system output voltage. When the FB pin voltage exceeds
FB
1.1V, the over voltage protection is triggered. When the FB pin
voltage is below 0.3V, the oscillator frequency is lowered to realize
short circuit protection
Compensation pin. This pin is the output of the transconductance
error amplifier and the input to the current comparator. It is used to
COMP
compensate the control loop. Connect a series RC network from this
pin to GND. In some cases, an additional capacitor from this pin to
GND pin is required
Control input pin. EN is a digital in put that turns the regulator on or
EN
off. Drive EN high/low to turn on/off the regulator. Pull up with
100kΩ resistor for automatic startup
Soft-start control input pin. SS controls the soft-start period. Connect
SS
a capacitor from SS to GND to set the soft-start period. A 0.1μF
capacitor sets the soft-start period to 15ms. To disable the soft-start
feature, leave SS unconnected
EP Exposed pad. It should be connected to GND in PCB layout
