Product details
Overview
AP3003S-ADJTRG1 from BCD Semiconductor is an adjustable-output, 150kHz fixed-frequency PWM buck DC-DC converter in TO-263-5 package, delivering up to 3A load current with ±3% output voltage tolerance. It operates from 4.5V–32V input, integrates internal frequency compensation and thermal shutdown, and supports TTL-compatible ON/OFF control - used in LCD TV power rails requiring stable 2.5V–12V regulation.
For engineers reviewing the AP3003S-ADJTRG1 datasheet, AP3003S-ADJTRG1 pinout, AP3003S-ADJTRG1 application, or AP3003S-ADJTRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include feedback reference accuracy (1.23V), standby quiescent current (80µA typ), saturation voltage (1.5V max at 3A), and compatibility with standard 22µH inductors for minimal external component count.
Technical Context
The AP3003S-ADJTRG1 implements a current-mode PWM control architecture with a built-in 150kHz oscillator, error amplifier, and 1.23V precision reference. Its internal driver stage delivers up to 3A peak switch current with 100% maximum duty cycle capability and automatic thermal shutdown activation above 150°C junction temperature.
Feedback is implemented via resistive divider connected to the FEEDBACK pin, enabling output voltage programming from 2.5V to 12V. The ON/OFF pin provides TTL-level enable/disable control with 0.6V low threshold and 2.0V high threshold, while standby mode reduces IQ to 80µA typical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | Guaranteed 3A continuous load current - enables single-chip supply for high-current digital logic or display bias rails. |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 150kHz (typ) - balances EMI control and inductor size; frequency shift occurs only under second-stage current limit. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.23V ±2% (1.18–1.28V) - sets output voltage via R1/R2 divider; enables precise 2.5V–12V programmability. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 32V - supports wide-input industrial and consumer DC sources including 12V/24V battery or adapter inputs. |
| Efficiency | 73% (typ) at VIN=12V, VOUT=2.5V, IOUT=3A - reflects real-world conversion loss with standard external components. |
| Quiescent Current | 10mA (typ) active, 80µA (typ) standby - ensures low no-load power draw in always-on systems. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at TJ ≥150°C - protects device during overload or poor heatsinking; auto-recovery on cooldown. |
Pinout & Package
AP3003S-ADJTRG1 uses the TO-263-5 surface-mount package with exposed metal tab (internally connected to GND) for enhanced thermal dissipation. Package dimensions: 15.14 × 10.18 × 4.67 mm (L×W×H), lead pitch 2.54 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VIN | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 4.5–32V DC; requires 470µF bulk capacitance for stability and ripple suppression. |
| 2 OUTPUT | Switch node output | Drives external inductor; connects to cathode of catch diode and inductor input; high dv/dt node. |
| 3 GND | Power and signal ground | Common return for IC internals, feedback network, and output capacitor; tied to exposed metal tab. |
| 4 FEEDBACK | Voltage sense input | Monitors divided output voltage; 1.23V reference sets regulation point; bias current ≤100nA minimizes divider error. |
| 5 ON/OFF | TTL-compatible enable control | Logic-low (≤0.6V) disables regulator and enters 80µA standby; logic-high (≥2.0V) enables full operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable Output Voltage | Programmable 2.5V–12V via external resistor divider - eliminates need for multiple fixed-voltage SKUs. |
| Integrated Compensation | Internal frequency compensation - removes requirement for external compensation network, reducing design cycle time. |
| Low Standby IQ | 80µA typical quiescent current in shutdown - extends battery life in portable or standby-power-sensitive applications. |
| Built-in Protection | Current limit (3.4–4.5A peak) + thermal shutdown - prevents damage during short-circuit or overheating without external circuitry. |
| Minimal External Parts | Only 4 components required: inductor, output capacitor, input capacitor, catch diode - accelerates layout and validation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable-output buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP1584EN-LF-Z | 380kHz switching, 4A rated, requires external compensation, 2.5V–28V input | Better transient response but higher EMI; needs careful layout for stability | Preferred when higher efficiency at light loads or faster regulation is critical |
| LM2596S-ADJ | 150kHz, 3A, 4.5V–40V input, no integrated thermal shutdown, larger TO-220-5 footprint | Lacks standby mode (IQ = 5mA); less robust protection set | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs where thermal margin is ample and standby not required |
Compared with MP1584EN-LF-Z and LM2596S-ADJ, AP3003S-ADJTRG1 offers integrated thermal protection and ultra-low 80µA standby IQ - making it optimal for thermally constrained or battery-backed LCD and PDP subsystems where reliability and quiescent power are prioritized over peak efficiency.

FAQ
What output voltage range can be programmed with AP3003S-ADJTRG1?
The AP3003S-ADJTRG1 supports output voltages from 2.5V to 12V using an external resistor divider on the FEEDBACK pin. The internal 1.23V reference (±2%) sets the regulation point: VOUT = 1.23V × (1 + R2/R1). Typical configurations include 2.5V (R1=2.49kΩ, R2=1.58kΩ), 3.3V (R1=2.49kΩ, R2=4.18kΩ), and 5.0V (R1=2.49kΩ, R2=7.57kΩ), all verified per datasheet Figure 3.
Does AP3003S-ADJTRG1 require an external compensation network?
No. AP3003S-ADJTRG1 integrates full frequency compensation internally, eliminating the need for external compensation components. This simplifies design and reduces bill-of-materials count - only four external parts (inductor, input/output capacitors, and catch diode) are required for basic operation, as confirmed in the General Description and Figure 19–20 typical applications.
What is the thermal performance of the TO-263-5 package under 3A load?
In free-air conditions without heatsink, the TO-263-5 package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 60°C/W. At 3A output with 85% efficiency and 12V input, power dissipation is ~0.6W, resulting in ~36°C junction rise above ambient - well within the −40°C to +125°C operating range. The exposed GND tab enhances conduction cooling when soldered to large copper areas.
Can AP3003S-ADJTRG1 operate with input voltage below 4.5V?
No. The absolute minimum recommended input voltage is 4.5V, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table (page 5). Operation below this level risks failure to start or unstable regulation due to insufficient headroom for the internal bias regulator and driver stage. The 32V maximum input and 40V absolute maximum rating apply only at the upper end.
