AP63203WU-EVM
32V, 2A, Synchronous DC/DC Buck Converter
With Enhanced EMI Reduction
DESCRIPTION
The AP63203 is a 2A, synchronous buck
converter with a wide input voltage range of
3.8V to 32V and fully integrates a 125mΩ
high-side power MOSFET and a 68mΩ lowside power MOSFET to provide highefficiency step-down DC/DC conversion.
The AP63203 device is easily used by
minimizing the external component count
due to its adoption of peak current mode
control
along
with
its
integrated
compensation network.
with a switching frequency jitter of ±6%,
which reduces EMI by not allowing emitted
energy to stay in any one frequency for a
significant period of time. It also has a
proprietary gate driver scheme to resist
switching node ringing without sacrificing
MOSFET turn-on and turn-off times, which
further reduces high-frequency radiated EMI
noise caused by MOSFET switching.
The device is available in a low-profile,
TSOT26 package.
The AP63203 is fixed output buck
converters

QUICK START GUIDE
The AP63203WU-EVM has a simple layout and allows access to the appropriate signals
through test points. To evaluate the performance of the AP63203WU, follow the procedure
below:
1. For evaluation board configured at VOUT=3.3V, 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 to “H” position to enable IC. Jump to “L” position to disable IC.
4. The evaluation board should now power up with a 3.3V output voltage.
5. Check for the proper output voltage of 3.3V (±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 2A 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.
SETTING OUTPUT VOLTAGE:
Setting the output voltage
The AP63203 is fixed output buck converters. The output voltage is 3.3V. Connect VFB pin to
output directly as schematic shown.
