Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
The AP3036B is an inductor-based DC/DC boost converter IC designed to drive up to eight white LEDs in series for backlighting applications. Operating at a fixed 1.0MHz switching frequency, it achieves up to 84% efficiency with minimal external components—requiring only a 1mm tall inductor and 0.22µF output capacitor. Features integrated Schottky diode, output overvoltage protection, and a control pin for enable/dimming functionality.
Package: SOT-23-6 · 6 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
SOT-23-6 packages house precision regulators, voltage references, and level shifters with 0.95mm pin pitch—too fine for hand soldering and incompatible with breadboards. A breakout board provides through-hole headers for prototype work, eliminating soldering difficulty while enabling quick circuit iteration. Essential for developing with compact analog and power management ICs.
