Dual Mobile-Friendly PWM Controller

The APW7108 is a dual-channel, constant on-time, and

synchronous PWM controller which drives dual N-

channel MOSFETs for each channel. The APW7108 steps

down high voltage of a battery to generate low-voltage

chipset or RAM supplies in notebook computers.

The APW7108 provides excellent transient response and

accurate DC voltage output in either PFM or PWM

mode. In PFM mode, the APW7108 provides very high

efficiency over light to heavy loads with loading-modu-

lated switching frequencies. The Forced-PWM mode

works nearly at constant frequency for low-noise

requirements.

The APW7108 is equipped with accurate current-limit,

output under-voltag, and output over-voltage protections,

perfect for NB applications. A Power-On-Reset function

monitors the voltage on V

tion during power on. A soft-start ramps up the output

voltage with programmable slew rate to reduce the

start-up current. A soft-stop function actively discharges

the output capacitors with controlled reverse inductor

current. At the end of the soft-stop, the APW7108 forces

LGATE high to prevent over-voltage in shutdown. The

APW7108 has individual enable controls for each

channel. Pulling both EN pin low shuts down the whole

chip with low quiescent current close to zero.

The APW7108 is available in SSOP-28 and QFN4x4-24

packages.
