Application Information
Alternatively, the output voltage can be programmed via VSEL1. Table 2 shows the voltage selection settings. Connect FB directly to the output. The maximum transition time of VSEL1 and VSEL2 must be less than 100µs to avoid an undefined voltage state. Table 2 VSEL1 Selection Overcurrent Protection The AP61040 detects the current limit on the high side, Q1, to protect the device against overload or short-circuit conditions. The peak current in the switch is monitored cycle-by-cycle with a comparator delay of approximately 100ns to guard against noise glitches. If the high-side Q1 current limit is reached, the high-side Q1 is turned off and the low-side Q2 is turned on until the switch current decreases below the OC threshold. The frequency is reduced to protect the device from damage. The Q1 peak current limit remains active during this state. After 17 consecutive cycles in this OCP event, the regulator enters hiccup mode where all power FETs are turned off and will wait for 15ms before attempting to restart. Reverse Current Protection During fixed frequency operation, a reverse-current comparator on switch Q2 monitors the current entering VOUT. When this current exceeds 400mA (typical), switch Q2 will be turned off for the remainder of the switching cycle. This feature protects the buck converter from excessive reverse current if the buck output is held above the regulation voltage by an external source. Undervoltage Lockout The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) feature prevents abnormal operation if the supply voltage is too low to guarantee proper operation. When the VIN voltage falls below the UVLO threshold, the regulator is disabled. Thermal Shutdown A built-in thermal protection feature protects the AP61040 if the die temperature reaches +150°C (typical). At this die temperature, the regulator is completely shut down. The die temperature continues to be monitored in this thermal -shutdown mode. When the die temperature falls to +1 25°C (typical), the device will resume normal operation. When exiting thermal shutdown, the AP61040 will execute its soft-start sequence. Output Active Discharge The buck provides an internal 50Ω resistor for output active discharge function. The internal resistor discharges the energy stored in the output capacitor to PGND whenever the regulator is disabled. When the regulator remains enabled, the internal resistor is disconnected from the output. Inductor Selection An inductor with a high-frequency core material (e.g., ferrite core) should be used to minimize core losses and provide good efficiency. The inductor must be able to handle the peak switching currents without saturating. A 2.2µH inductor with a ≥600mA saturation current rating is recommended. Select an inductor with a low DCR to provide good efficiency. In applications where radiated noise must be minimized, a toroidal or shielded inductor can be used. VIN and VOUT Capacitor Selection The input and output capacitors should be a ceramic X5R type with low ESL and ESR. The recommended input capacitor value is 10µF, as this would provide adequate RMS current to minimize the input voltage ripple. A minimum of 10µF is required to maintain full functionality of the part. The recommended output capacitor is 10µF, 10V, X5R. Note that the effective value of a ceramic capacitor derates with DC voltage bias across it. This decreasing may be up to 70% of the rated capacitance. Refer to the capacitor datasheet to ensure the combined effective output capacitance is at least 30µF for proper operation over the entire recommended load current range. Low output capacitance may lead to a large output voltage drop during load transients or unstable operation. VFB (V) VSEL1 L1 (µH) 0.6 OPEN 2.2 2.5 0 2.2 3.3 1 2.2

A 2oz copper in both the top and bottom layer is recommended. Correct PCB layout is critical for proper operation of the AP61040. The following are some general guidelines for the recommended layout: 1. The input and output capacitors should be positioned directly across VIN-PGND and as close to the IC as possible to ensure noise-free operation. 2. The ground connections of the input and output capacitors should be kept as short as possible. The objective is to minimize the current loop between the ground pads of the input and output capacitors and the PGND pins of the IC. Use via, if required, to take advantage of a PCB ground layer underneath the regulator. 3. Fill the second layer with PGND. The single point connects the GND to the second layer’s PGND. 4. Minimize the trace lengths on the feedback loop to avoid switching noise pick-up. Via should be avoided on the feedback loop to minimize the effect of board parasitic, particularly during load transients. 5. The SW trace should be short. 6. See figure 35 below for more details on the recommended layout. SW EN PVIN VIN PGND SW1 1 2 A B C VSEL1 FB SW VOUT PGND Figure 35. Recommended Layout Design
