FEATURES
- Adjustable version output voltage range, 0.8V to 18V+4% - 300KHz +15% fixed switching frequency - Voltage mode non-synchronous PWM control - Thermal-shutdown and current-limit protection - ON /OFF shutdown control input - Operating voltage can be up to 22V - Output load current: 3A - TO220-5L and TO263-5L Pb-Free packages - Low power standby mode - Built-in switching transistor on chip GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Due to reducing the number of external component, the board space can be saved easily. Regarding protected function, thermal shutdown is to prevent over temperature operating from damage, and current limit is to prevent over current operating of the output switch. If current limit function occurred and VFB is down to 0.5V below, the switching frequency will be reduced. The AP1518 series operate at a switching frequency of 300KHz thus allowing smaller sized filter components than what would be needed with lower frequency switching regulators. Other features include a guaranteed +4% tolerance on output voltage under specified input voltage and output load conditions, and +15% on the oscillator frequency.
