AP3105NA/NV/NL/NR

COST EFFECTIVE GREEN PWM CONTROLLER

Description Pin Assignments

The AP3105NA/NV/NL/NR is a low startup current, current mode

PWM controller with green-mode power-saving operation. The PWM K Package
switching frequency at normal operation is set with 65kHz typically (SOT-23-6)
and the dithering of frequency will also improve the EMI feature.
When the load decreases, the frequency will reduce and when at a
very low load, the IC will enter the ‘burst mode’ to minimize switching Pin 1 Mark
loss.

About 20kHz frequency switching is to avoid the audible noise as well

as reducing the standby loss. The skip mode point can be adjusted GND 1 6 GATE
through the external resistor connected to the current sense resistor.

The AP3105NA/NV/NL/NR features a lot of functions such as the FB 2 5 VCC

Leading-Edge Blanking (LEB) of the current sensing, internal slope
compensation and several protection functions including cycle-by-
cycle current limit (OCP), VCC Over Voltage Protection (VOVP), OTP CTRL 3 4 SENSE
and OLP protection. The versatile latch function can be set by the
customer through few components.

This IC is available in SOT-23-6 package.

The AP3105NA/NV/NL/NR is specifically designed for off-line AC- 5

The start-up current of AP3105NA/NV/NL/NR is optimized to realize FB C

the availability of using large start-up resistor, which minimizes the
resistor power loss for high voltage AC input.

An UVLO comparator is included in AP3105NA/NV/NL/NR to detect
