Description：

The AP8232 series is a CMOS step-up

switching regulator which mainly consists of a

reference voltage source, an oscillation circuit,

an error amplifier, a phase compensation circuit,

a PWM/PFM switching control circuit. With an

external low-ON-resistance Nch Power MOS,

this product is applicable to applications

requiring high efficiency and high output current.

The AP8232 series switches its operation to the

PFM control circuit whose duty ratio is 15 % with

to the PWM/PFM switching control circuit under

a light load and to prevent decline in the

efficiency by IC operation current.
