General Description
The AP6015 is the first device in a family of lo w-noise current
mode synchronous step-down DC-DC converters. It is ideally
suited for systems powered by either a 1-cell Li-ion battery or a 2to 3-cell NiCd/ NiMH/ Alkaline battery.
IN
The AP6015 is a synchronous PWM converter with integrated
N- and P-channel power MOSFET s witches. Compared to the
asynchronous topology, synchronous rectification offers the
benefits of higher efficiency and reduced com ponent cou nt. The
high operating frequency of 1MHz allows small inductor and
capacitor to be used. This results in small pcb area. During
shut-down, the standby current drops to 1μA or less. The
AP6015 is available in the 10-pin MSOP package. It operates
over a free-air temperature range of -40

Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress rati ngs only and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not impli ed. E xposure to
absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods ma affect device reliability.
