General Description

The APW7120 is a fixed 300kHz frequency, voltage

mode, and synchronous PWM controller. The device

drives two low cost N-channel MOSFETs and is de-

signed to work with single 5~12V or two supply

voltage(s), providing excellent regulation for load

transients.

The APW7120 integrates controls, monitoring, and

protection functions into a single 8-pin package to

provide a low cost and perfect power solution.

A power-on-reset (POR) circuit monitors the VCC

supply voltage to prevent wrong logic controls. An

internal 0.8V reference provides low output voltage

down to 0.8V for further applications. An built-in digital

soft-start with fixed soft-start interval prevents the

output voltage from overshoot as well as limits the

input current. The controller

’s over-current protection

monitors the output current by using the voltage drop

across the low-side MOSFET

’s R

need of a current sensing resistor. Additional under

voltage and over voltage protections monitor the

voltage on FB pin for short-circuit and over-voltage

protections. The over-current protection cycles the

soft-start function until 4 over-current events are

counted.

Pulling and holding the voltage on OCSET pin below

0.15V with an open drain device shuts down the

controller.
