AP3441/L

1MHZ, 3A STEP-DOWN DC-DC BUCK CONVERTER

Description

The AP3441 and AP3441L are 3A step-down DC-DC converters. At

heavy load, the constant-frequency PWM control performs excellent

stability

and

transient

response.

No

external

compensation

components are required.

The AP3441/L supports a range of input voltages from 2.7V to 5.5V

allowing the use of a single Li+/Li-polymer cell, multiple Alkaline/NiMH

cell, and other standard power sources. The output voltage is

adjustable from 0.6V to the input voltage. The AP3441/L employs

internal power switch and synchronous rectifier to minimize external

part count and realize high efficiency. During shutdown, the input is

disconnected from the output and the shutdown current is less than

1μA. Other key features include over-temperature and short circuit

protection, and under-voltage lockout to prevent deep battery

discharge.

The AP3441/L delivers 3A maximum output current while consuming

only 55

μA of no-load quiescent current. Ultra-low RDS(ON) integrated

MOSFETs and 100% duty cycle operation make the AP3441/L an

ideal choice for high output voltage, high current applications which

require a low dropout threshold. Pulse skip mode to maintain high

efficiency at light-load conditions.

The AP3441/L is available in U-DFN2020-8 (Type E) package.
