Diodes Inc. AP64351Q Synchronous Buck Converter is an automotive-compliant, 3.5A, synchronous buck converter with a wide input voltage range of 3.8V to 40V. The device fully integrates a 75mΩ high-side power MOSFET and a 45mΩ low-side power MOSFET to provide high-efficiency step-down DC-DC conversion. Diodes Inc. AP64351Q is easy to use by minimizing the external component count due to its adoption of peak current mode control.
The AP64351Q design is optimized for the reduction of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). The device has a proprietary gate driver scheme to resist switching node ringing without sacrificing MOSFET turn-on and turn-off times, which reduces high-frequency radiated EMI noise caused by MOSFET switching. AP64351Q also features Frequency Spread Spectrum (FSS) with a switching frequency jitter of ±6%, which reduces EMI by not allowing emitted energy to stay in any one frequency for a significant period-of-time.
