Description
The AP4312 is a highly integrated solution for a constant
voltage/constant current mode SMPS application.
The AP4312 contains one 1.21V voltage reference, one low voltage
reference used in current sensing circuit and two operational
amplifiers. The 1.21V voltage reference, combined with one
operational amplifier, makes of an ideal voltage controller for use in
adapters and battery chargers. The low voltage reference, combined
with another operational amplifier, makes of an ideal current limiter for
output low side current sensing.
The AP4312 is fully compatible with AP4306 in functionality and
electrical characteristics except its lower reference voltage for current
control loop, thus higher power efficiency in SMPS applications such
as low power charger can be realized with AP4312 compared to
AP4306.
The AP4312 is available in SOT26 package.
