UMW AP1501
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AP1501 series of regulators are monolithic integrated
circuits that provide all the active functions for a step-down
(buck) switching regulator, capable of driving a 3A load with
excellent line and load regulation. These devices are available
in fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and an adjustable
output version.
Requiring a minimum number of external components, these
regulators are simple to use and include internal frequency
compensation, and a fixed-frequency oscillator.
The AP1501 series operates at a switching frequency of 150
kHz thus allowing smaller sized filter components than what
would be needed with lower frequency switching regulators.
Available in a standard 5-lead TO-220 package with several
different lead bend options, and a 5-lead TO-263 surface mount
package.

3.3V, 5V, 12V, and adjustable output versions
Adjustable version output voltage range, 1.2V to 37V
±4% max over line and load conditions
Available in TO-220 and TO-263 packages
Guaranteed 3A output load current
Input voltage range up to 40V
Requires only 4 external components
Excellent line and load regulation specifications
150 kHz fixed frequency internal oscillator
TTL shutdown capability
Low power standby mode, IQ typically 80 µA
High efficiency
Uses readily available standard inductors
Thermal shutdown and current limit protection
A standard series of inductors are available from several
different manufacturers optimized for use with the AP1501
series. This feature greatly simplifies the design of switch-mode
power supplies.
Other features include a guaranteed ±4% tolerance on output
voltage under specified input voltage and output load
conditions, and ±15% on the oscillator frequency. External
shutdown is included, featuring typically 80 µA standby
current. Self protection features include a two stage frequency
reducing current limit for the output switch and an over
temperature shutdown for complete protection under fault
conditions.
