Source/Sink 3A
The APW7093 is a reversible energy flow, constant-
off-time, pulse-width modulated (PWM), step-down
DC-DC converter. It is ideal for use in notebook and
sub-notebook computers that require 1.1V to 5V
activetermination power supplies. Thisdevice features
an internal PMOS power switch and internal
synchronous rectifier for high efficiency and reduced
Up to 1MHz Switches Frequency
Up to 94% Efficiency
Internal PMOS/NMOS Switches
- 70mW/40mW On-Resistance at VIN = 4.5V
- 90mW/60mW On-Resistance at VIN = 3V

switchand 60mW NMOS synchronous-rectifier switch
easily deliver continuous load currents up to 3A. The
APW7093 accurately tracks an external reference
voltage, produces an adjustable output from 1.1V to
VIN, and achieves efficiencies as high as 94%.
Programmable Constant-Off-Time Operation
Thermal Shutdown
The APW7093 uses a unique current-mode,
constant-off-time, PWM control scheme that allows
the output to source or sink current. This feature
allows energy to return to the input power supply that
otherwise would be wasted. The programmable
constant-off-timearchitecturesetsswitchingfrequencies
upto1MHz, allowingthe user tooptimizeperformance
trade-offs between efficiency, output switching noise,
component size, and cost. TheAPW7093 features an
adjustable soft-start to limit surge currents during
startup, a 100% duty-cycle mode for low-dropout
operation, and alow-power shutdown mode that disables
the power switches and reduces supply current below
1µA. TheAPW7093 is available in a 32-pin QFN with
an exposed backside pad or a 16-pin SSOP.
