LIGHT LOAD IMPROVED 4A SYNCH DC/DC BUCK CONVERTER

Description

The AP65400 is a 340kHz switching frequency external compensated

synchronous DC/DC buck converter. It has integrated low R

and low side MOSFETs.

The AP65400 enables continues load current of up to 4A with

efficiency as high as 96%.

The AP65400 implements an automatic custom light load

efficiency improvement algorithm.

The AP65400 features current mode control operation, which enables

fast transient response times and easy loop stabilization.

The AP65400 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 AP65400 is available in a standard Green SO-8EP package and

is RoHS compliant.

Pin Number

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.

IN 2

Power Input. IN supplies the power to the IC, as well as the step-down converter switches. Drive IN with a 4.75V 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 0.800V. 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 13ms. To disable the soft-start feature, leave SS floating.
