The AP6508 is a 500kHz switching frequency internal
compensated synchronous DCDC buck converter. It has
integrated compensation, and low R
MOSFETs.
The AP6508 enables continues load current of up t o 3A with
efficiency as high as 93%.
The AP6508 features current mode control operation, which
enables fast transient response times and easy loop
stabilization.
The AP6508 has external programmable softstart and a
Power Good indicator enabling sequencing and ramp control.
The AP6508 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 AP6508 is available in a standard Green DFN4030-14
package with exposed PAD for improved thermal

500kHz 21V 3A SYNCHRONOUS DC/DC BUCK CONVERTER
Supply Voltage. The AP6508 operates from a 4.5V to 21V input rail. C1 is needed to
decouple the input rail. Use wide PCB trace to make the connection.
Bootstrap. A capacitor connected between SW and BS pins is required to form a floating
supply across the high-side switch driver.
EN=1 to enable the chip. For automatic start-up, connect EN pin to VIN by proper EN resistor
divider as Figure 1 shows.
Feedback. An external resistor divider from the output to GND, tapped to the FB pin, sets the
output voltage. To prevent current limit run away during a short circuit fault condition the
frequency fold-back comparator lowers the oscillator frequency when the FB voltage is below
500mV.
BIAS Supply. Decouple with 0.μ1F – 0.22μF cap. And the capacitance should be no mor e
than 0.22μF
System Ground. This pin is the reference ground for the regulated output voltage. For this
reason care must be taken in its PCB layout. Suggested to be connected to GND with copper
and vias.
No internal connection. It is recommended to connect exposed pad to GND plane for optimal
thermal performance
Notes: 2. Stresses greater than the 'Absolute Maximum Ratings' specified above, may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only; functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions exceeding those indicated in this specification is not implied. Device
reliability may be affected by exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods of time.
3. Semiconductor devices are ESD sensitive and may be damaged by exposure to ESD events. Suitable ESD precautions should be taken when
handling and transporting these device.
4. Test condition for SO-8EP: Device mounted on 2"*2" FR-4 substrate PC board, 2oz copper, with minimum recommended pad on top layer and
thermal vias to bottom layer ground plane.
5. The device function is not guaranteed outside of the recommended operating conditions.
