AP1530 provides low-ripple 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
function and a short circuit protect function are built inside, and
when OCP or SCP happens, the operation frequency will be
reduced from 300KHz to 30KHz. 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 connected externally, these 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-package, providing such outstanding features as low current
consumption. Since this converter can accommodate an input
voltage up to 18V, it is also suitable for the operation via an AC
adapter.
