TYPICAL APPLICATION
The APE1911 is high efficient step-up DC/DC
converter. Large output current is possible having a built in
internal N channel MOSFET, and using an external coil and
diode.
The APE1911 can be operated at switching
frequencies of 500 kHz allowing for easy filtering and low
noise, the size of the external components can be reduced.
Output voltage is programmable with 1.0V of standard
voltage supply internal, and using externally connected
components, output voltage (FB) can be set up at will. The
soft-start time can be programmed by outside capacitor; the
function prevents overshoot at startup. Build inside Current
limit, Thermal Shutdown and enable functions.

The APE1911 consists of DC/DC converters that employ a pulse-width
modulation (PWM) system. In converters of the APE1911, the pulse width varies in a
range from 0 to 85%, according to the load current. The ripple voltage produced by the
switching can easily be removed through a filter because the switching frequency
remains constant. Therefore, these converters provide a low-ripple power over broad
ranges of input voltage and load current.
Application circuit item shows the basic application circuit with APE1911 adjustable
output version. The external resistor sets the output voltage according to the following
equation:
For most designs, Low inductance values are physically smaller but require faster
switching, which results in some efficiency loss. The inductor value can be derived from
the following equation:
VOUT = 1.0V x (1+R4/R3)
L = [VIN x (VOUT-VIN)] / VOUT x IL x fLx
Where is inductor Ripple Current. Large value inductors lower ripple current and
small value inductors result in high ripple currents. Choose inductor ripple current
approximately 15% of the maximum input current 2.4A, IL=0.18A.
The DC current rating of the inductor should be at least equal to the maximum load
current plus half the ripple current to prevent core saturation (2.4A+0.18A).
The input capacitor reduces the surge current drawn from the input and switching
noise from the device. The input capacitor impedance at the switching frequency shall be
less than input source impedance to prevent high frequency switching current passing to
the input. A low ESR input capacitor sized for maximum RMS current must be used.
The capacitor voltage rating should be at least 1.5 times greater than the input
voltage, and often much higher voltage ratings are needed to satisfy.

The output capacitor is required to keep the output voltage ripple small and to
ensure regulation loop stability. The output capacitor must have low impedance at the
switching frequency. A low ESR capacitor sized for maximum RMS current must be
used. The low ESR requirements needed for low output ripple voltage.
The capacitor voltage rating should be at least 1.5 times greater than the input
voltage, and often much higher voltage ratings are needed to satisfy.
When laying out the PC board, the following suggestions should be taken to ensure
proper operation of the APE1911. These items are also illustrated graphically in below.
1. The power traces, including the Source trace, the Schottky and the C1 trace should
be kept short, direct and wide to allow large current flow.
2. The power ground is keep C4’s ground closed and far away signal ground.
3. The signal ground trance is distant from power ground trance.
4. The exposed pad is connecting to SW trace closely and widely. (Reduce IC
temperature)
5. Do not trace signal line under inductor.
