AP5100 - Diodes Incorporated

1 STEP-DOWN CONVERTER with SWITCHING FREQUENCY AP5100 Document number: DS32130 Rev. 3 - 2 1 of 12 April 2012 Diodes Incorporated Description The AP5100 is a current mode step-down converter with a built-in power MOSFET to enable smallest solution size power conversion. With the low series resistance power switch it enables a constant output current of up to over a wide input supply range. The load and line regulation has excellent response time over the operating input voltage and temperature range. The AP5100 is self protected, through a cycle-by-cycle current limiting algorithm and an on chip thermal protection.

2 The AP5100 will provide the voltage conversion with a low count of widely available standard external components. The AP5100 is available in SOT26 package.

To form a boost circuit, a capacitor is connected between SW and BST pins to form a floating supply across the power switch driver. This capacitor is needed to drive the power switch s gate above the supply voltage. Typical values for CBST range from F to 1 F. GND 2 Ground. This pin is the voltage reference for the regulated output voltage.

5 All control circuits are referenced to this pin. For this reason care must be taken in its layout. FB 3 Feedback. To set the output voltage, connect this pin to the output resistor divider or directly to VOUT. To prevent current limit run away during a current limit condition, the frequency foldback comparator lowers the oscillator frequency when the FB voltage is below 400mV. EN 4 On/Off Control Input. Do not leave this pin floating. To turn the device ON, pull EN above and to turn it off pull below If enable/disable is not used, connect a 100k resistor between EN to VIN.

6 IN 5 Supply Voltage. The AP5100 operates from a + to +24V unregulated input. A decoupling capacitor C1 is required to prevent large voltage spikes from appearing at the input. Place this capacitor near the IC. SW 6 Switch Output. This is the reference for the floating top gate driver. Functional Block Diagram Figure 5.
