AP1538 consists of step-down switching regulator with
PWM control. These devices include a reference voltage source,
oscillation circuit, error amplifier, internal PMOS.
AP1538 provides low-ripple power, high efficiency, and excellent
transient characteristics. The PWM control circuit is able to vary
the duty ratio linearly from 0 up to 99%. This converter also
contains an error amplifier circuit as well as a soft-start circuit that
prevents overshoot at startup. An enable function, an over
current protect function and a short circuit protect function are built
inside, and when OCP or SCP happens, the operation frequency
will be reduced from 300KHz to 50KHz. Also, an internal
compensation block is built in to minimum external component
count.
With the addition of an internal P-channel Power MOS, a coil,
capacitors, and a diode connected externally, these ICs can
function as step-down switching regulators. They serve as ideal
power supply units for portable devices when coupled with the
SOP-8L and SOP-8L-DEP mini-packages, providing such
outstanding features as low current consumption. Since this
converter can accommodate an input voltage up to 18V, it is also
suitable for the operation via an AC adapter.

18V 3A 300KHz BUCK CONVERTER
Functional Description
PWM Control
The AP1538 is a DC/DC converter that employs pulse width
modulation (PWM) scheme. Its pulse width varies in the range of
0% to 99%, based on the output current loading. The output
ripple voltage caused by the PWM high frequency switching can
easily be reduced through an output filter. Therefore, this
converter provides a low ripple output supply over a broad range
of input voltage & output current loading
Inductor Selection
For most designs, the operates with inductors of 22µH to
33µH. The inductor value can be derived from the following
equation:
Under Voltage Lockout
The under voltage lockout circuit of the AP1538 assures that the
high-side MOSFET driver remains in the off state whenever the
supply voltage drops below 3.3V. Normal operation resumes
once VCC rises above 3.5V.
Where ΔIL is inductor Ripple Current. Large value inductors lower
ripple current and small value inductors result in high ripple
current. Choose inductor ripple current approximately 15% of the
maximum load current 3A, ∆IL=0.45A. The DC current rating of
the inductor should be at least equal to the maximum load current
plus half the ripple current to prevent core saturation
(3A+0.225A).
Current Limit Protection
The current limit threshold is set by external resistor ROCSET
connected from VCC supply to OCSET pin. The internal sink
current IOCSET (90uA typical) across this resistor sets the voltage
at OCSET pin. When the PWM voltage is less than the voltage at
OCSET, an over-current condition is triggered.
The current limit threshold is given by the following equation:
IPEAK × R DS(ON) = IOCSET × R OCSET
VIN − VOUT VOUT
×
fs × ΔI
VIN
Input Capacitor Selection
This capacitor should be located close to the IC using short leads
and the voltage rating should be approximately 1.5 times the
maximum input voltage. The RMS current rating requirement for
the input capacitor of a buck regulator is approximately 1⁄2 the
DC load current. A low ESR input capacitor sized for maximum
RMS current must be used. A 470µF low ESR capacitor for most
applications is sufficient.
Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor is required to filter the output voltage and
provides regulator loop stability. The important capacitor
parameters are the 100KHz Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR),
the RMS ripples current rating, voltage rating and capacitance
value. For the output capacitor, the ESR value is the most
important parameter. The output ripple can be calculated from
the following formula.
(ΔI)
IPEAK > IOUT(MAX) + 2
where,
ΔI =
L=
VIN − VOUT VOUT
×
fs × L
VIN
V RIPPLE = ΔIL × ESR
IPEAK is the output peak current; RDS (ON) is the MOSFET ON
resistance; FS is the PWM frequency (300KHz typical). Also, the
inductor value will affect the ripple current ΔI.
The above equation is recommended for input voltage range of
5V to 18V. For input voltage lower than 5V or ambient
temperature over 100°C, higher ROCSET is recommended.
The bulk capacitor’s ESR will determine the output ripple voltage
and the initial voltage drop after a high slew-rate transient.
An aluminum electrolytic capacitor's ESR value is related to the
capacitance and its voltage rating. In most case, higher voltage
electrolytic capacitors have lower ESR values. Most of the time,
capacitors with much higher voltage ratings may be needed to
provide the low ESR values required for low output ripple voltage.
The recommended minimum ROCSET value is summarized below:

PCB Layout Guide
If you need low TC & TJ or large PD (Power Dissipation), The dual
SW pins(5& 6) and Vss pins(7& 8)on the SOP-8L package are
internally connected to die pad, The evaluation board should be
allowed for maximum copper area at output (SW) pins.
1. Connect FB circuits (R1, R2, C1) as closely as possible and
keep away from inductor flux for pure VFB.
2. Connect C3 to Vcc and Vss pin as closely as possible to get
good power filter effect.
3. Connect R4 to Vcc and OCSET pin as closely as possible.
4. Connect ground side of the C2 & D1 & C4 as closely as
possible and use ground plane for best performance.
