AP432ARG-7

PMIC (Power Management Integrated Circuit)s are a class of integrated circuts designed to provide multiple power supplies and power management functions in a single, compact package. PMICs are typically used in portable electronics, computing platforms, and industrial systems. The AP432ARG-7 is a voltage reference PMIC specifically designed for use in low power applications. It is suitable for use in portable electronic devices, automotive electronic systems, and embedded systems.

The AP432ARG-7 is an IC (Integrated Circuit) that features a very low quiescent current consumption of only 100 nA, while providing stable references in the range of 0.5V to 5V. This voltage reference can be used not only as a voltage reference, but also as a level shifter and current source. The AP432ARG-7 also provides other useful features such as soft start, under-voltage lockout (UVLO), and over-temperature protection (OTP) for improved system reliability and performance.The AP432ARG-7 is used for creating a stable, reliable reference voltage in a wide range of applications. This type of voltage reference is often found in portable electronics, automotive systems, and embedded systems, where space for discrete components is limited and battery-powered systems require extremely low power consumption. The output of the reference voltage is adjustable using an external resistor divider, allowing users to easily customize the output voltage.The AP432ARG-7 features a low-noise buffered output to minimize output noise, while its low power consumption allows operation from a wide range of input voltages and temperatures. The AP432ARG-7 is also designed to provide improved accuracy and low temperature drift. The device is available in a small 3x2mm UQFN package, making it ideal for space-constrained applications.The AP432ARG-7 uses a bandgap reference architecture to generate a stable reference voltage. The voltage reference of the IC is generated by a matched pair of bipolar junction transistors biased in the ‘active region’. This active region produces a voltage difference between the base-emitter junction of the two transistors, which is known as the thermal voltage of the transistor, or the ‘bandgap’ reference voltage.The AP432ARG-7 is designed for a wide range of applications including voltage references for D/A converters, proportional-integral (PI) controllers, Sigma-Delta modulators, etc. Its low power consumption and high accuracy make it suitable for use in battery-powered systems and other applications requiring a very low power consumption. The device is also well-suited for automotive applications such as Telematics and Driver Assistance Systems (DAS).
