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
free (Br or Cl does not exceed 900ppm by weight in homogeneous material and total of Br and Cl does not exceed 1500ppm by
weight).

Pin Description
PIN
FUNCTION
NO.
NAME
1
NC
No Connection.
2
VIN
Power Input. VIN supplies the power (4.3V to 14V) to the control circuitry, gate drivers
and step-down converter switches. Connecting a ceramic bypass capacitor and a
suitably large capacitor between VIN and both of AGND and PGND to eliminate
switching noise and voltage ripple on the input to the IC.
3
AGND
Ground of MOSFET Gate Drivers and Control Circuitry.
4
FB
Output Feedback Input. The APW7145 senses the feedback voltage via FB and
regulates the voltage at 0.8V. Connecting FB with a resistor-divider from the converter’s
output sets the output voltage from 0.8V to VIN.
5
COMP
Output of the error amplifier. Connecting a series RC network from COMP to GND to
compensate the regulation control loop. In some cases, an additional capacitor from
COMP to GND is required.
6
EN
Enable Input. EN is a digital input that turns the regulator on or off. Drive EN high to turn
on the regulator, drive it low to turn it off. Connecting this pin to VIN if it is not used.
7
LX
Power Switching Output. LX is the junction of the high-side and low-side power
MOSFETs to supply power to the output LC filter.
8
PGND
Power Ground of the APW7145, which is the source of the N-channel power MOSFET.
Connect this pin to the system ground with lowest impedance.
LX
Power Switching Output. LX is the Drain of the P-channel MOSFET to supply power to
the output. The Exposed Pad provides current with lower impedance than the Pin 7.
Connecting the pad to output LC filter via a top-layer thermal pad on PCBs. The PCB will
be a heat sink of the IC.

Function Description (Cont.)
Current-Limit Protection
The APW7145 monitors the output current, flowing through
the high-side power MOSFET, and limits the current peak
at current-limit level to prevent loads and the IC from damages during overload or short-circuit conditions.
Frequency Foldback
The foldback frequency is controlled by the FB voltage.
When the output is shortened to the ground, the frequency
of the oscillator will be reduced to 80kHz. This lower frequency allows the inductor current to safely discharge,
thereby preventing current runaway. The oscillator’s frequency will gradually increase to its designed rate when
the feedback voltage on FB again approaches 0.8V.

away from switching nodes (LX or others) on the PCB.
Therefore, place the feedback divider and the feedback
compensation network close to the IC to avoid switching noise. Connect the ground of feedback divider directly to the AGND pin of the IC using a dedicated ground
