The AP65200 is a 340kHz switching frequency external compensated
synchronous DC/DC buck converter. It has integrated low R
DSON
and low side MOSFETs.
The AP65200 enables continues load current of up to 2A with
efficiency as high as 95%.
The AP65200 implements an automatic custom light load
efficiency improvement algorithm.
The AP65200 features current mode control operation, which enables
fast transient response times and easy loop stabilization.
The AP65200 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.

Function
High-Side Gate Drive Boost Input. BS supplies the drive for the high-side N-Channel MOSFET 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 4.7V to 18V 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 EN to IN with a 100kΩ pull up resistor for automatic startup. With this configuration an
internal voltage clamp ensures that a safe voltage is set for Enable not to exceed the absolute
maximum voltage for this pin.
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 softstart feature, leave SS floating.
Notes: 4. 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.

The AP65200 has an external COMP pin through which system stability and transient response can be controlled. COMP pin is the output of the
internal trans-conductance error amplifier. A series capacitor-resistor combination sets a pole-zero combination to control the characteristics of
the control system. The DC gain of the voltage feedback loop is given by:

resistor of error amplifier, and the other is due to the output capacitor and the load resistor. These poles are located at:

One zero is present due to the compensation capacitor (C3) and the compensation resistor (R3). This zero is located at:

The goal of compensation design is to shape the converter transfer function to get a desired loop gain. The system crossover frequency where
the feedback loop has the unity gain is crucial.
A rule of thumb is to set the crossover frequency to below one-tenth of the switching frequency. Use the following procedure to optimize the
compensation components:
1. Choose the compensation resistor (R3) to set the desired crossover frequency. Determine the R3 value by the following equation:
Where f
