18V, 3A, Low Iq, COT Synchronous DC-DC Buck Converter

DESCRIPTION

The AP62300 is a 3A, synchronous buck

converter with a wide input voltage range of

4.2V to 18V. The device fully integrates a

75m high-side power MOSFET and a

45m low-side power MOSFET to provide

high-efficiency

step-down

DC-DC

conversion.

The AP62300 device is easily used by minimizing the external component count due to its adoption of Constant On-Time (COT) control to achieve fast transient response, easy loop stabilization, and low output voltage ripple.

The AP62300 design is optimized for Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) reduction. The device has a proprietary gate driver scheme to resist switching node ringing without sacrificing MOSFET turn-on and turn-off times, which reduces highfrequency radiated EMI noise caused by MOSFET switching.
AP62300 is available in a TSOT26 package.

QUICK START GUIDE
The AP62300WU-EVM has a simple layout and allows access to the appropriate signals through test points. To evaluate the performance of the AP62300WU, follow the procedure below:
1. Connect a power supply to the input terminals VIN and GND. Set VIN to 12V.
2. Connect the positive terminal of the electronic load to VOUT and negative terminal to GND.
3. For Enable, place a jumper at JH8 to "ON" position to connect EN pin to VIN through 100K resistor to enable IC or leave it OPEN. Jump to "OFF" position to disable IC.
4. The evaluation board should now power up with a 5.0V output voltage.

18V, 3A, Low Iq, COT Synchronous DC-DC Buck Converter
5. Check for the proper output voltage of 5.0V (±1%) at the output terminals VOUT and GND. Measurement can also be done with a multimeter with the positive and negative leads between VOUT and GND.
6. Set the load to 3A through the electronic load. Check for the stable operation of the SW signal on the oscilloscope. Measure the switching frequency.
MEASUREMENT/PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES:
1) When measuring the output voltage ripple, maintain the shortest possible ground lengths on the oscilloscope probe. Long ground leads can erroneously inject high frequency noise into the measured ripple.
2) For efficiency measurements, connect an ammeter in series with the input supply to measure the input current. Connect an electronic load to the output for output current.
BOOTSTRAP CAPACITOR GUIDELINES:
To ensure proper operation, a ceramic capacitor must be connected between the BST and SW pins to supply the drive voltage for the high-side power MOSFET. A 100nF ceramic capacitor is sufficient for most applications. In the cases where output voltage is higher than 2.5V, a higher capacitance is recommended to help maintain stable voltage from BST to SW. Please refer to Tables 1 for details.
