5.5V, 1A Synchronous Buck COT Converters for High-Efficiency Automotive Point of Load Applications

October 29, 2020 by Hailey Stewart

This article highlights AP61100Q and AP61102Q 1A automotive-compliant synchronous buck converters with a wide 2.3V to 5.5V input voltage range.

Diodes Incorporated announces the AP61100Q and AP61102Q 1A automotive-compliant synchronous buck converters with a wide 2.3V to 5.5V input voltage range.  They are AEC-Q100 grade 1 qualified to provide high-efficiency step-down DC-DC conversion. Both devices integrate a 110mΩ high-side power MOSFET and an 80mΩ low-side power MOSFET.

The AP61100Q/AP61102Q can be set to operate in either Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) regardless of load for low output voltage ripple or Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) with up to 89% efficiency at 5mA light load.

The AP61100Q and AP61102Q both minimize external component count, due to their adoption of Constant On-Time (COT) control enabling them to achieve fast transient response, easy loop stabilization, and low output voltage ripple.

Both devices are available in the SOT563 package.
