AP3041

BOOST CONTROLLER FOR WLED DRIVER IN MEDIUM-SIZED LCD PANEL

Description Pin Assignments

The AP3041 is a current mode high voltage low-side channel
MOSFET controller, which is ideal for boost regulators. It contains all (Top View)
the features needed to implement single-ended primary topology
DC/DC converters.
ADVANCED INFORMATION

CT 1 16 FLAG

The input voltage of AP3041 ranges from 5V to 27V. Its operation OV 2 15 PWM
frequency is adjustable from 100kHz to 1MHz.
UVLO 3 14 FB

The AP3041 has UVLO (Under Voltage Lock Out) circuit. It uses two EN 4 13 SS/COMP
external resistors to set the UVLO voltage. The AP3041 also has an
over output voltage protection to limit the output voltage. The OVP VIN 5 12 SC

voltage can be set through external resistors. If the output voltage is

VCC 6 11 CS
higher than the OVP high threshold point, it will disable the driver and
the system is latched up. The output short circuit protection as well as OUT 7 10 RT
LED low side short to ground detection function can be applied in
GND 8 9 FAULT
system.

The AP3041 has other protection functions, such as LED short SOIC-16
protection, LED high side short to ground protection, diode short
protection, over current protection, over temperature protection and
so on. Applications

ADVANCED INFORMATION

2 OV Over Output Voltage Protection Pin

Two resistors connected from this pin to GND and the power supply respectively is used to
3 UVLO
set start-up and shutdown level.
4 EN Enable Pin

5 VIN Input supply pin. This pin must be locally bypassed.

6 VCC This pin should be bypassed to GND with a ceramic capacitor.

Connect this pin to the gate of external MOSFET, the gate driver has 1A peak current
7 OUT
capability.
8 GND Ground
This pin can be used to drive the external MOSFET. The logic of the driver signal is
9 FAULT controlled by that of PWM pin and the signal phase of them is the same. This pin is pulled to
ground under fault condition of OVP, UVLO, OTP, diode short circuit and LED short circuit.
10 RT An external resistor connected from this pin to GND is used to set the operating frequency.
Sense switch current pin, which is used for current mode control and for current limit. The
11 CS
current limit voltage is 500mV.
Slope compensation for current sense. A resistor between SC and GND will program the
12 SC
slope compensation.
An external soft-start time capacitor is placed from this pin to GND and is charged by an
13 SS/COMP internal 20μA current source to control regulator soft-start time.
Compensation pin. This pin is the output of the internal error amplifier.
14 FB Voltage feedback pin. The reference voltage is 500mV.
This pin can be connected to current matched chip and receives error signal used to shut
15 PWM
down the system.
Fault condition output pin. When the output is in short circuit condition, the FLAG outputs
16 FLAG
logic low to shut down the power path. Please refer to the application circuit.
