Product details
Overview
AL17051V5W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a universal AC-input, high-voltage buck converter IC with integrated 700V MOSFET, delivering regulated 5V output at up to 50mA, ultra-low 10mW no-load standby power, and 60% system efficiency at full load across 85–300VAC input - designed for always-on IoT power supplies requiring WPAN connectivity.
For engineers reviewing the AL17051V5W5-7 datasheet, AL17051V5W5-7 pinout, AL17051V5W5-7 application, or AL17051V5W5-7 equivalent, this device serves as a self-contained, optocoupler-free offline regulator optimized for low-BOM-count, space-constrained, low-standby-power applications in home appliances and industrial controls.
Technical Context
The AL17051V5W5-7 implements constant-voltage (CV) control in Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM), using internal VCC voltage sampling to derive output feedback - eliminating need for external optocoupler or secondary-side sensing. Its adaptive switching frequency (33kHz typical, decreasing under light load) and programmable minimum off-time (18.5µs) jointly enable high light-load efficiency (50% at 10mA).
It integrates protection logic including auto-restart over-current (SCP) and over-load (OLP) fault handling, thermal shutdown at +150°C with 50°C hysteresis, and UVLO with 150mV hysteresis between 2.68V (ON) and 2.83V (OFF) thresholds - all coordinated via internal control logic driving the embedded 700V/40Ω MOSFET.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 85–300VAC universal mains input - supports global deployment without hardware reconfiguration. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5V ±3% - factory-trimmed reference enables stable regulation without external resistor divider. |
| Max Output Current | 50mA - sufficient for low-power microcontrollers, BLE/Wi-Fi modules, and sensor nodes. |
| No-Load Standby Power | <10mW - meets Energy Star Level VI and EU CoC Tier 2 requirements for always-on IoT devices. |
| Peak Efficiency | 60% at 50mA / 230VAC - achieved via DCM operation and integrated MOSFET minimizing conduction and switching losses. |
| Integrated MOSFET | 700V VDSS, 40Ω RDS(ON) - eliminates external HV switch, reduces BOM count and PCB footprint. |
| Thermal Protection | +150°C shutdown with +50°C hysteresis - prevents thermal runaway during overload or poor heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
AL17051V5W5-7 is housed in a thermally enhanced SOT25 package (5-pin, surface-mount) with exposed drain pad for improved heat dissipation and electrical grounding.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VCC | Control supply rail | Internal bias voltage source; charged by HV regulator; triggers startup at 2.83V and shuts down at 2.7V. |
| 2,3,4 - SOURCE | MOSFET source node / GND reference | Common ground return for internal power stage and control circuitry; electrically tied to PCB ground plane. |
| 5 - DRAIN | High-voltage MOSFET drain | Primary HV input node; connects directly to rectified mains via input filter; carries full switching current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Optocoupler-free regulation | VCC-sampled feedback eliminates isolation barrier components, reducing cost and improving long-term reliability. |
| Adaptive frequency control | Switching frequency drops under light load to maintain 50% efficiency at 10mA - critical for sleep-mode energy budgeting. |
| Auto-restart protection | SCP and OLP faults trigger controlled recovery cycles (512 HV-regulator on/off cycles) instead of latching shutdown. |
| Leading-edge blanking | 300ns internal blanking window prevents false current-limit triggering during MOSFET turn-on spikes. |
| Soft-start with dynamic tMINOFF | Minimum off-time extends during startup to ensure safe demagnetization before regulation stabilizes. |
Applications
| Smart Home Sensors | Industrial Remote I/O Modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP174GJ-Z (Monolithic Power) | Requires external HV MOSFET; 650V rating; no integrated VCC sampling - needs optocoupler feedback loop. | Suitable only where design allows optocoupler-based isolation and higher BOM count is acceptable. | Select when secondary-side regulation precision >±1% is required, or when existing layout accommodates external FET placement. |
| LNK3206D (Power Integrations) | Off-line flyback controller with integrated 725V MOSFET; requires transformer; no DCM buck topology support. | Used where galvanic isolation is mandatory (e.g., user-accessible interfaces); not drop-in compatible. | Choose only if safety certification (UL/EN62368) demands reinforced isolation - incompatible with AL17051's direct-buck architecture. |
Compared with MP174GJ-Z and LNK3206D, the AL17051V5W5-7 uniquely delivers optocoupler-free, transformerless 5V regulation in a 5-pin SOT25 package - reducing bill-of-materials by ≥3 components and enabling sub-1cm² PCB area for always-on IoT edge nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended output current for AL17051V5W5-7?
The AL17051V5W5-7 is rated for continuous 50mA output current per datasheet Recommended Operating Conditions. Exceeding this risks triggering Over Load Protection (OLP) after 8192 switching cycles, causing auto-restart behavior. Peak inductor current is internally limited to 140mA, supporting up to 60mA in short bursts under ideal thermal conditions.
Does AL17051V5W5-7 require an external feedback resistor divider?
No. The AL17051V5W5-7 uses internal VCC voltage sampling to derive output regulation - eliminating the need for external resistors or optocouplers. Its 5V output version has factory-trimmed internal reference (5.22–5.48V), making it a true single-component solution for fixed 5V applications.
How does AL17051V5W5-7 achieve ultra-low 10mW standby power?
It combines three design elements: (1) deep DCM operation at no load, reducing switching frequency to ~1kHz; (2) quiescent current of just 88µA in non-switching mode; and (3) automatic HV regulator disable once VCC reaches 2.83V, cutting off high-voltage supply current to <6µA leakage.
Can AL17051V5W5-7 be used with full-wave rectification?
Yes. The datasheet specifies input capacitor selection guidelines for both half-wave (2.2µF) and full-wave (1µF) rectifiers. Full-wave use improves input voltage hold-up and reduces ripple, but requires verifying that minimum DC bus voltage stays above 70V to prevent thermal shutdown during low-line operation.
