DIODES AP62201Z6-EVM 18V-2A-Low Iq-COT Synchronous DC-DC Buck Converter Owner’s Manual

DESCRIPTION

The AP62201 is a 2A, synchronous buckconverter with a wide input voltage range of 4.2V to 18V. The device fully integrates a 90mΩ high-side power MOSFET and a 65mΩ low-side power MOSFET to provide high-efficiency step-down DC-DC conversion.

The AP62201 device is easily used by minimizing the external component count due to its adoption of Constant On-Time (COT) control to achieve fast transient response, easy loop stabilization, and low output voltage ripple.

FEATURES

• VIN Range: 4.2V -18V
• Output Voltage range: 0.8V to 7V
• 2A Continuous Output Current
• 0.8V ± 1% Reference Voltage (TA = +25°C) => AP62201
• 135µA Low Quiescent Current
• 740kHz Switching Frequency
• Proprietary Gate Driver Design for Best EMI Reduction
• Protection Circuitry

APPLICATIONS

• Flat Screen TV Sets and Monitors
• Consumer Electronics
• Network Systems
• General Purpose Point of Load

The AP62201 design is optimized for Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) reduction. The device has a proprietary gate driver scheme to resist switching node ringing without sacrificing MOSFET turn-on and turn-off times, which reduces highfrequency radiated EMI noise caused byMOSFET switching.

AP62201 is available in the space-saving SOT563 package.

• * Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)

  • Cycle-by-Cycle Valley Current Limit
  • Thermal Shutdown
• Totally Lead-Free & Fully RoHS Compliant
• Halogen and Antimony Free. “Green” Device

QUICK START GUIDE
The AP62201Z6-EVM has a simple layout and allows access to the appropriate signals through test points. To evaluate the performance of the AP62201Z6, follow the procedure below:

1. 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. EN has a positive voltage through a 100K pull-up to VIN. No supply input is required for EN.
4. The evaluation board should now power up with a 5.0V output voltage.
5. Check for the proper output voltage of 5.0V (±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.

BOOTSTRAP CAPACITOR GUIDELINES:

To ensure proper operation, a ceramic capacitor must be connected between the BST and SW pins to supply the drive voltage for the high-side power MOSFET. A 100nF ceramic capacitor is sufficient for most applications. In the cases where output voltage is higher than 2.5V, a higher capacitance is recommended to help maintain stable voltage from BST to SW. Please refer to Table 1 for details.
