Description
The AP65201 is a 500kHz switching frequency internal compensated
synchronous DC/DC buck converter. It has integrated low R
DS(ON)
high and low side MOSFETs.
The AP65201 enables continuous load current of up to 2A with
efficiency as high as 97%.
The AP65201 implements an automatic custom light load efficiency
improvement algorithm.
The AP65201 features current mode control operation, which enables
fast transient response times and easy loop stabilization.
The AP65201 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 AP65201 is available in a standard Green TSOT26 package and
is RoHS compliant.

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.
Power Input. IN supplies the power to the IC, as well as the step-down converter switches. Drive IN with a 4.5V
to 16V power source. Bypass IN to GND with a suitably large capacitor to eliminate noise on the input to the IC.
See Input Capacitor.
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 0.8V. See Setting the Output Voltage.
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 100kΩ pull up resistor for automatic startup.
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.
