The AP6503A is a 240kHz switching frequency external compensated
synchronous DC/DC buck converter. It has integrated low R
DSON
and low side MOSFETs.
The AP6503A enables continues load current of up to 3A with efficiency
as high as 95%.
The AP6503A features current mode control operation, which enables
fast transient response times and easy loop stabilization.
The AP6503A simplifies board layout and reduces space requirements
with its high level of integration and minimal need for external
components, making it ideal for distributed power architectures.
The AP6503A is available in a standard Green SO-8EP package with
exposed PAD for improved thermal performance and is RoHS
compliant.

Function
High-Side Gate Drive Boost Input. BS supplies the drive for the high-side N-Channel MOSFET switch. Connect a
0.01µF or greater capacitor from SW to BS to power the high side switch.
Power Input. IN supplies the power to the IC, as well as the step-down converter switches. Drive IN with a 4.75V
to 23V power source. Bypass IN to GND with a suitably large capacitor to eliminate noise on the input to the IC.
See Input Capacitor.
Power Switching Output. SW is the switching node that supplies power to the output. Connect the output LC filter
from SW to the output load. Note that a capacitor is required from SW to BS to power the high-side switch.
Feedback Input. FB senses the output voltage and regulates it. Drive FB with a resistive voltage divider
connected to it from the output voltage. The feedback threshold is 0.925V. See Setting the Output Voltage.
Compensation Node. COMP is used to compensate the regulation control loop. Connect a series RC network
from COMP to GND. In some cases, an additional capacitor from COMP to GND is required. See Compensation
Components.
Enable Input. EN is a digital input that turns the regulator on or off. Drive EN high to turn on the regulator; low to
turn it off. Attach to IN with a 100k pull up resistor for automatic startup.
Soft-Start Control Input. SS controls the soft-start period. Connect 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 floating.
