The AP3602A/B are regulated step-up DC/DC
converters based on charge pump technique. These ICs
have the ability to supply 100mA constant output
current or 250mA peak output current for 100ms from
3.0V to 5V input (2.7V to 4.5 V for AP3602B), so they
can be used as white LEDs driver or flash LED driver.
The AP3602A/B have very low power dissipation and
high efficiency in typical applications. Other features
include over-temperature protection, low temperature
coefficient and etc. to meet some special requirements
of hand-held battery powered devices.
Only 3 external capacitors are required in applications,
which helps to save space and lower cost. These chips
also have a disable terminal to turn on or turn off the
chip to ease the use.

Note 1: 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.
The AP3602A/B use a switched capacitor charge
pump to boost the input voltage to a regulated output
voltage. Regulation is achieved by sensing the chip
output voltage through an internal resistor divider network. Controlled by an internal comparator (refer to
the functional block diagram), the charge pump circuit
is enabled when the divided output voltage is below a
preset trip point .
The charge pump operates at 1.2MHz with 50% duty
cycle. Conversion consists of a two-phase operation. In
the first phase, switches S2 and S3 are opened and S1
and S4 are closed. During this time, C

the reason of higher input voltage or lower load, then
the divided voltage at the control comparator exceeds

voltage is continually decreased because it is maintained by the discharging of C
only. In idle mode,

divided voltage at the control comparator drops below

In idle mode, the AP3602A/B's quiescent current is
about 13
μA. In shutdown mode, all internal circuitry is
turned off and the AP3602A/B draw only leakage current from V
, which is less than 1μA. So, the shut-
IN
down power loss for AP3602A/B is very low, that is
beneficial to the battery supplied systems.
Short Circuit and Thermal Protection
The AP3602A/B have a thermal protection and shutdown circuit that continuously monitors the IC junction temperature.
When output short circuit occurs, the short circuit current is about 300mA (Typical). Under this condition,
the I
is about 2*Iout, which causes about 1.8W
IN
instant power dissipation on AP3602A/B, that will
cause a rise in the internal IC junction temperature. If
the thermal protection circuit senses the junction tem-
o
perature exceeding approximately 160
shutdown circuit will disable the charge pump switch-
ing circuit. The thermal hysteresis is about 10
means that the charge pump circuit can be active when
the short circuit is removed and the junction tempera-
ture drops below 150
o
C.
The thermal shutdown protection will cycle on and off
if an output short circuit condition persists. This will
allow the AP3602A/B to operate on a short circuit condition without latch up or damage to the device.
