Features
• • • • • • • • • • • High efficiency synchronous step-down converter with greater than 94% 2.5V to 5.5V operating input voltage range Adjustable output voltage range from 0.8V to VIN Fixed output voltage options: 1.8V, 2.5V and 3.3V Up to 800mA output current High efficiency over a wide range of load currents PWM operation mode Internal soft-start function Typical quiescent current of 150μA MSOP-10L: Available in “Green” Molding Compound (No Br, Sb) Lead Free Finish/ RoHS Compliant (Note 1)
General Description
The AP6015 is the first device in a family of low-noise synchronous step-down DC-DC converters. It is ideally suited for systems powered by either a 1-cell Li-ion battery or a 2- to 3-cell NiCd/ NiMH/ Alkaline battery. The AP6015 is a synchronous PWM converter with integrated N- and P-channel power MOSFET switches. Compared to the asynchronous topology, synchronous rectification offers the benefits of higher efficiency and reduced component count. The high operating frequency of 1MHz allows small inductor and capacitor to be used. This results in small pcb area. During shut-down, the standby current drops to 1μA or less. The AP6015 is available in the 10-pin MSOP package. It operates o o over a free-air temperature range of -40 C to 85 C.
Applications
• • • • • Mobile Handsets PDAs, Ultra Mobile PCs Portable Media Players, Digital Still/Video Cameras USB-based DSL Modems LAN/WLAN/WPAN/WWAN Modules

High Efficiency Step-Down Low Power DC-DC Converter
Application Information
Enable (EN) When EN is on logic low, the AP6015 goes into shutdown mode. In shutdown, all other functions are turned off. The supply current is reduced to 1uA (Typ.).
Soft Start As the enable pin goes high, the soft-start function generates an internal voltage ramp. This causes the start-up current to slowly raise preventing output voltage overshoot and high inrush currents. The soft-start duration is typical 1mSec. AP6015 START-UP TIME
Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO) The UVLO prevents the converter from turning on when the voltage on VCC is less than typically 1.6V.

Power Good (PG)
(Continued)
The PG comparator has an open drain output capable of sinking typically 10mA. The PG is only active when the AP6015 is enable (EN=high). When the AP6015 is disable (EN=low), the PG pin is high impedance. If the PG pin is connected to the output of the AP6015 with a pull-up resistor, no initial spike occurs and precautions have to be taken during start-up. The PG pin becomes active high when the output voltage exceeds typically 92% of its nominal value. Leave the PG pin unconnected when not used.

Input Capacitor Selection Though there is no special requirement for the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of the input capacitor, due attention should be paid to the tolerance and temperature coefficient of the capacitor used. A 10uF or larger capacitance is required between the PVCC and the GND pins. The input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the PVCC pin in order to achieve good overall system performance. Output Capacitor Selection Ripple at the voltage output pin is caused by the charge-and-discharge of the output capacitor. For the best performance, a low ESR output capacitor should be used. The equation below demonstrates how the size of the ripple can be calculated.
VO ) VCC 1 1 ΔVO = VO × ×( + ESR) = ΔI L × ( + ESR) 8 × CO × f 8 × CO × f L× f 1− (

Layout Considerations A good board layout practice can significantly improve the stability of the application circuit and reduce the system noise. The feedback path must be as short as possible. The input capacitor and bypass capacitor must be placed close to the PVCC and the VCC pins for optimal performance. It is recommended that the ground planes for System Ground / Power Ground / Analog Ground are isolated from each others, while they should all be joined together at a common point. An example drawing of a circuit with good ground noise performance is shown below.

The external inductor must be placed as close as possible to the switching node, i.e. the LX pin. The copper traces on the pcb, where high peak switching current may flow through, should be kept ‘wide’ and ‘short’. This results in low inductance and capacitance in the current path, hence ground shift problem is avoided and system stability stay within bound.
