Product details
Overview
AP3003S-5.0TRE1 from BCD Semiconductor is a fixed-frequency PWM buck DC-DC converter delivering 5.0V ±4% at up to 3A load current, with 150kHz internal oscillator, 4–32V input range, and TO-263-5 package. It integrates current limit protection, thermal shutdown, and TTL-compatible ON/OFF control for compact, high-efficiency power conversion in LCD monitors and DVD recorders.
For engineers reviewing the AP3003S-5.0TRE1 datasheet, AP3003S-5.0TRE1 pinout, AP3003S-5.0TRE1 application, or AP3003S-5.0TRE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include output voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (RθJA = 40°C/W for TO-263-5), standby quiescent current (80µA typ), and compatibility with standard 22µH inductors and Schottky diodes like 1N5822.
Technical Context
The AP3003S-5.0TRE1 implements a synchronous-switching architecture with internal 150kHz oscillator and error amplifier feedback loop referenced to 1.23V. Its fixed 5.0V output version eliminates external resistor dividers, simplifying design while maintaining ±4% regulation across line (7–32V) and load (0.2–3A) variations.
Functional block includes integrated driver stage, latch-controlled PWM comparator, 2.5V bias regulator, and thermal shutdown circuitry triggered at 150°C junction temperature. The ON/OFF pin enables TTL-level control with 0.6V low threshold and 2.0V high threshold, supporting low-power standby mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0V ±4% - Guaranteed regulation over full operating temperature and load range without external feedback components. |
| Max Output Current | 3A continuous - Supports high-current rails for display logic and audio subsystems without external current boosting. |
| Switching Frequency | 150kHz fixed - Enables use of low-cost, low-ESR electrolytic capacitors and standard 22µH power inductors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4–32V - Compatible with 12V/24V industrial and consumer DC bus systems including PDP and LCD TV front-end supplies. |
| Efficiency | 80% @ 12VIN, 3A - Minimizes thermal dissipation in enclosed environments; peak efficiency reaches 82.5% at mid-load. |
| Standby Quiescent Current | 80µA typical - Enables ultra-low power state during system sleep without auxiliary LDOs or external enable sequencing. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 40°C/W (TO-263-5) - Allows 3A operation up to 85°C ambient without heatsink under natural convection. |
Pinout & Package
AP3003S-5.0TRE1 uses the TO-263-5 surface-mount package with exposed metal tab connected internally to GND for enhanced thermal performance and EMI reduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VIN | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 4–32V DC; requires 470µF bulk capacitance for stability and ripple suppression. |
| 2 OUTPUT | Switch node output | Drives external inductor; connects to cathode of freewheeling Schottky diode (e.g., 1N5822). |
| 3 GND | Power and signal ground | Common return path; metal tab is electrically tied to this pin for thermal and EMI management. |
| 4 FEEDBACK | Output voltage sensing | Internally connected to 5.0V reference; left unconnected in fixed-output versions (no external divider needed). |
| 5 ON/OFF | TTL-compatible enable control | Pull low ≤0.6V to disable regulator; pull high ≥2.0V to enable; draws <5µA when active. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated current limit & thermal shutdown | Protects against short-circuit and overload conditions without external sensing resistors or thermal sensors. |
| Fixed 5.0V output with ±4% tolerance | Eliminates need for external feedback resistors, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity. |
| Only 4 external components required | Inductor, output capacitor, input capacitor, and freewheeling diode-enables minimal footprint designs. |
| 150kHz fixed-frequency PWM | Enables predictable EMI filtering and avoids sub-harmonic instability common in variable-frequency converters. |
| TTL-compatible ON/OFF control | Direct interface with microcontroller GPIOs or system power sequencers without level-shifting circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP1584EN-LF-Z | Adjustable output (0.8–20V), 3A, 1.5MHz switching frequency, requires external feedback resistors. | Suitable for multi-rail systems needing programmable outputs; higher frequency allows smaller magnetics but increases EMI filtering complexity. | Select when adjustable output or higher switching frequency is required; not drop-in for fixed 5V use. |
| LM2596S-5.0 | Fixed 5V output, 3A, 150kHz, TO-263-5 package, but no TTL ON/OFF pin and higher quiescent current (5mA vs. 80µA). | Better suited for always-on applications; lacks low-power standby capability critical for energy-efficient consumer devices. | Choose only if ON/OFF control is unnecessary and thermal margin permits higher IQ-related losses. |
Compared with MP1584EN-LF-Z and LM2596S-5.0, AP3003S-5.0TRE1 uniquely combines fixed 5V output, TTL enable, 80µA standby current, and TO-263-5 thermal performance-making it optimal for space-constrained, low-power consumer displays requiring simple, reliable 5V conversion.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor value for AP3003S-5.0TRE1?
A minimum 470µF low-ESR aluminum or polymer electrolytic capacitor is specified at the VIN pin to suppress input ripple and sustain 3A load steps. Ceramic bypass (100nF) in parallel improves high-frequency decoupling. Layout must minimize trace inductance between VIN and GND pins to prevent oscillation.
Does AP3003S-5.0TRE1 require an external feedback resistor network?
No. The "5.0" suffix denotes the fixed 5.0V output version, where the internal feedback divider is factory-trimmed. Pin 4 (FEEDBACK) is internally connected to the 5.0V reference and must be left unconnected-no external resistors or capacitors are needed for regulation.
Can AP3003S-5.0TRE1 operate without a heatsink at 3A load?
Yes, in free-air convection with PCB copper pour (≥4 cm² thermal pad connected to GND plane), AP3003S-5.0TRE1 maintains safe junction temperature (<125°C) up to 85°C ambient due to its TO-263-5 package RθJA of 40°C/W and thermal shutdown at 150°C.
What diode is recommended for the freewheeling path in AP3003S-5.0TRE1 applications?
The datasheet specifies 1N5822 (3A, 40V Schottky) as the reference diode. Equivalent alternatives include SS34 or SB340-selected for low forward voltage (<0.55V), fast recovery (<100ns), and thermal compatibility with the 3A peak switch current and 150kHz switching frequency.
