Description

The AP6502 is a 340kHz switching frequency external

compensated synchronous DCDC buck converter. It has

The AP6502 enables continues load current of up to 2A with

efficiency as high as 95%.

The AP6502 features current mode control operation, which

enables fast transient response times and easy loop

stabilization.

The AP6502 simplifies board layout and reduces space

requirements with its high level of integration and minimal

need for external components, making it ideal for distributed

power architectures.

The AP6502 is available in a standard Green SO-8EP

package

with

exposed

PAD

for

improved

thermal

performance and is RoHS compliant.
