Plano, Texas – September 15th, 2015 – The AP3402, AP3419 and AP3429 DC-DC step-down converters introduced by Diodes Incorporated operate from inputs of 2.7V to 5.5V to supply loads up to 2A, with great efficiency under both light and heavy load conditions. A high switching frequency of 1MHz reduces the size of external components; this, combined with small TSOT25 or TSOT26 packages, ensures a small circuit board footprint in end-equipment such as TVs, monitors, set-top boxes, routers, notebook PCs and security systems.
A 100% duty cycle allows the devices to work with the lowest VIN and a low quiescent current of just 90?A helps conserve the life of battery-powered equipment. The devices also feature an integrated soft-start that prevents damage as the output switches turn on while integrated over-current and over-temperature protection (OCP and OTP) protect both the system and the IC from damage under fault conditions.
In the industry-standard pinout TSOT25/26 packages the AP3402/AP3419/AP3429 are priced at $0.15 each in 10k piece quantities. Further information is available at http://www.diodes.com
