AP3408 Datasheet, PDF (1/12 Pages) BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited – 2A, 4MHz High Efficiency Synchronous Buck Converter

Preliminary Datasheet
2A, 4MHz High Efficiency Synchronous Buck Converter
AP3408
General Description
The AP3408 is a current mode, PWM synchronous
buck DC/DC converter, capable of driving a 2A load
with high efficiency, excellent line and load
regulation. It operates in continuous PWM mode.
The AP3408 integrates synchronous P-channel and
N-channel power MOSFET switches with low
on-resistance. It is ideal for portable applications
powered from a single Li-ion battery. 100% duty
cycle and low on-resistance P-channel internal power
MOSFET can maximize the battery life.
The switching frequency of AP3408 can be
programmable from 300kHz to 4MHz, which allows
small-sized components, such as capacitors and
inductors_. A standard series of inductors from several
different manufacturers are available. This feature
greatly simplifies the design of switch-mode power
supplies.
The AP3408 is available in DFN-3×3-10 and PSOP-8
packages.
