Note: ANPEC lead-free products contain molding compounds/die attach materials and 100% matte tin plate termination finish; which
are fully compliant with RoHS. ANPEC lead-free products meet or exceed the lead-free requirements of IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D for
MSL classification at lead-free peak reflow temperature. ANPEC defines “Green” to mean lead-free (RoHS compliant) and halogen

Exposed Pad
Ground pin of the circuitry. All voltage levels are measured with respect to this pin.
Connecting this pin to an external resistor divider receives the feedback voltage of the
regulator. The output voltage set by the resistor divider is determined by :
R1 

VOUT = 0.8 ⋅ 1 +

R2


where R1 is connected from VOUT to FB with Kelvin sensing and R2 is connected from FB to
GND. A bypass capacitor may be connected with R1 in parallel to improve load transient
response.
Output of the regulator. Please connect Pin 3 and 4 together using wide tracks. It is necessary
to connect a output capacitor with this pin for closed-loop compensation and improve transient
responses.
Main supply input pins for power conversions. The Exposed Pad provides a very low
impedance input path for the main supply voltage. Please tie the Exposed Pad and VIN Pin
(Pin 8) together to reduce the dropout voltage. The voltage at this pins is monitored for
Power-On-Reset purpose.
Power input pin of the control circuitry. Connecting this pin to a +5V (recommended) supply
voltage provides the bias for the control circuitry. The voltage at this pin is monitored for
Power-On-Reset purpose.
Power-OK signal output pin. This pin is an open-drain output used to indicate status of output
voltage by sensing FB voltage. This pin is pulled low when the rising FB voltage is not above
the VPOK threshold or the falling FB voltage is below the VPNOK threshold, indicating the output is
not OK.
Enable control pin. Pulling and holding this pin below 0.3V shuts down the output. When
re-enabled, the IC undergoes a new soft-start cycle. When leave this pin open, an internal
current source 10µA pulls this pin up to VCNTL voltage, enabling the regulator.

Internal Soft-Start
Enable Control
An internal soft-start function controls rising rate of the
output voltage to limit the current surge at start-up. The
typical soft-start interval is about 2ms.
The APL5912 has a dedicated enable pin (EN). A logic

Under-Voltage Protection (UVP)
The APL5912 monitors the voltage on FB pin after softstart process is finished. Therefore, the UVP is disable
during soft-start. When the voltage on FB pin falls below
the under-voltage threshold, the UVP circuit shuts off the
output immediately. After a while, the APL5912 starts a
new soft-start to regulate output.
Thermal Shutdown
A thermal shutdown circuit limits the junction temperature of APL5912. When the junction temperature exceeds
+150°C, a thermal sensor turns off the output NMOS,
allowing the device to cool down. The regulator regulates

featuring a small size like a standard SOP-8 and a bottom exposed pad to minimize the thermal resistance of
the package, being applicable to high current applications.
The exposed pad must be soldered to the top VIN plane.
