Description
1.2A STEP-DOWN CONVERTER with 1.4MHz SWITCHING
Pin Assignments
The AP5100 is a current mode step-down converter with a
built-in power MOSFET to enable smallest solution size
power conversion.
With the low series resistance power switch it enables a
BST
constant output current of up to 1.2A over a wide input supply
range. The load and line regulation has excellent response
GND
time over the operating input voltage and temperature range.
The AP5100 is self protected, through a cycle-by-cycle
FB
current limiting algorithm and an on chip thermal protection.
The AP5100 will provide the voltage conversion with a low
count of widely available standard external components.
The AP5100 is available in SOT26 package.
