General Description
AP1623 consists of CMOS step-down switching
regulator-controllers with PWM control. These devices
include a reference voltage source, oscillation circuit,
error amplifier, internal PMOS and etc.
AP1623 provides low-ripple power, high efficiency,
and excellent transient characteristics. The PWM
control circuit is able to very 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
prevent s overshoot at startup.
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 of up to 16V, it is also
ideal when operating via an AC adapter.
