General Description
The APW7068 integrates synchronous buck
PWM, linear controller, and 0.8V Reference Out Voltage,
as well as the monitoring and protection functions
into a single package. The fixed 300KHz switching
frequency synchronous PWM controller drives
dual N-channel MOSFETs, which provides one controlled
power output with over-voltage and over-current
protections. Linear controller drives an external
N-channel MOSFET with under-voltage protection.
The APW7068 provides excellent regulation for
output load variation. An internal 0.8V temperature-
compensated reference voltage is designed to meet
the requirement of low output voltage applications.
The APW7068 with excellent protection functions:
POR, OCP, OVP and UVP. The Power-On Reset
(POR) circuit can monitor VCC12 supply voltage
exceeds its threshold voltage while the controller is
running, and a built-in digital soft-start provides both
outputs with controlled rising voltage. The Over-Current
Protection (OCP) monitors the output current by using
the voltage drop across the lower MOSFET’s RDS(ON),
comparing with the voltage of OCSET pin. When the out-
put current reaches the trip point, the controller will
shutdown the IC directly, and latch the converter’s
output. The Under-Voltage Protection (UVP) monitors
the voltage of FBL pin for short-circuit protection. When
the VFBL is less than 50% of VREF, the controller will
shutdown the IC directly. The Over-Voltage Protection
(OVP) monitors the voltage of FB. When the VFB is
over 135% of VREF, the controller will make Low-
side gate signal fully turn on until the fault events are
removed.
