Data Sheet
General Description
The AP3012 is a high power, constant frequency, cur-
rent mode PWM, inductor based, step-up (boost) con-
verter. The converter operates at high frequency
(1.5MHz) so that a small, low profile inductor can be
used.
The AP3012 has built-in overvoltage protection (OVP)
to allow the device goes into shutdown mode when the
output voltage exceeds the OVP threshold of 29V.
The AP3012 is available in standard SOT-23-5 pack-
age.
