BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited

General Description

The AP3408 is a current mode, PWM synchronous

buck DC/DC converter, capable of driving a 2A load

with high efficiency, excellent line and load

regulation. It operates in continuous PWM mode.

The AP3408 integrates synchronous P-channel and

N-channel power MOSFET switches with low

on-resistance. It is ideal for portable applications

powered from a single Li-ion battery. 100% duty

cycle and low on-resistance P-channel internal power

MOSFET can maximize the battery life.

The switching frequency of AP3408 can be

programmable from 300kHz to 4MHz, which allows

small-sized components, such as capacitors

and

inductors

A standard series of inductors from several

different manufacturers are available. This feature

greatly simplifies the design of switch-mode power

supplies.

The AP3408 is available in DFN-3×3-10 and PSOP-8

packages.
