AP3981C
PRIMARY SIDE REGULATED POWER SWITCHER
Description
Pin Assignments
(Top View)
The AP3981C is a high performance power switchers integrated with
a
primary side regulation controller and an N-channel power
MOSFET. It can be used for battery charger and adaptor applications,
accurate Constant Voltage (CV) and Constant Current (CC) can be
achieved without an opto-coupler and secondary control circuitry.

The AP3981C operates in Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) mode
and peak current Amplitude Modulation (AM) mode to form a fine tune
frequency curve within the whole power range. Therefore, the
AP3981C can achieve high average efficiency and improve audible
noise.

SOURCE
The AP3981C provides comprehensive protections without additional
circuitry. It contains VCC over voltage protection, output over voltage
protection, output under voltage protection, output short circuit
protection, cycle-by-cycle current limit, open loop protection, and
internal over temperature protection, etc.
