AP5001 consists of step-down switching regulator with PWM
control. These devices include a reference voltage source,
oscillation circuit, error amplifier, internal PMOS.
AP5001 provides low-ri pple power, high efficiency, and excellent
transient characteristics. The PWM control circuit is able to vary
the duty ratio linearly from 0 up to 100%. This converter also
contains an error amplifier circuit as well as a soft-start circuit that
prevents overshoot at startup. An enable function, an over
current protect fun ction and a sh ort circuit protect function are b uilt
inside, and when OCP or SCP happens, the operation frequency
will be reduced from 800KHz to 50KHz. Also, an internal
compensation block is built in to minimum external component
count.
With the addition of an internal P-channel Power MOS, a coil,
capacitors, and a diode c onnected externally, th ese ICs can
function as step-down switching regulators. They serve as ideal
power supply units for portable devices when coupled with the
SOP–8L mini-p ackage, providing such outstanding feat ures as
low current consumption. Since this converter can accommodate
an input voltage up to 20V, it is also suitable for the operation via
an AC adapter.
