Product details
Overview
AP3005MTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is an obsolete 2A, 420kHz PWM synchronous buck DC-DC converter in SOP-8 package, featuring internal high-side and low-side MOSFETs, adjustable output voltage via external resistor divider, and thermal shutdown protection. It delivers regulated 5V output from 8–36V input in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the AP3005MTR-G1 datasheet, AP3005MTR-G1 pinout, AP3005MTR-G1 application, or AP3005MTR-G1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its fixed 420kHz switching frequency, integrated 2A power stage, current-mode control architecture, and discontinuation status requiring migration planning.
Technical Context
The AP3005MTR-G1 implements a current-mode PWM controller with internal 70mΩ/40mΩ N-channel MOSFET pair, enabling efficient step-down conversion without external gate drivers. Its 420kHz fixed-frequency operation balances EMI performance and external component size, while the error amplifier supports output voltage adjustment from 0.8V to VIN × 0.9.
Thermal shutdown activates at +150°C junction temperature, and the device requires no external compensation due to internal loop stabilization. Input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) triggers at 6.5V (rising) and 5.5V (falling), ensuring reliable startup across wide input ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 2A continuous - supports mid-power embedded systems without external current boosting |
| Switching Frequency | 420kHz fixed - enables compact LC filter design with standard 10–22µH inductors |
| Input Voltage Range | 8V to 36V - compatible with 12V/24V industrial rails and automotive battery-supplied systems |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.8V ±1% - sets output accuracy and allows precise regulation using standard resistor tolerances |
| Integrated MOSFETs | High-side 70mΩ / Low-side 40mΩ - eliminates external FETs and driver ICs for simplified BOM |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | +150°C - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design |
Pinout & Package
SOP-8 package with exposed thermal pad (EP); 1.27mm pitch, 4.9mm × 6.0mm body, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power input | Accepts 8–36V supply; connects to bulk capacitor and high-side MOSFET source |
| SW | Switch node | Drives external inductor; requires low-inductance layout to minimize ringing |
| GND | Power ground | Common return for power stage and control circuitry; ties to thermal pad |
| FB | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; regulates VOUT to 0.8V reference |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input; pulls below 1.2V to disable converter and reduce quiescent current |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | Internal compensation node - no external components required |
| PGND | Power ground | Dedicated ground for high-current switching path; separate from signal GND |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Must be soldered to PCB copper pour for thermal dissipation and electrical grounding |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Power Stage | Eliminates need for external high-side/low-side MOSFETs and drivers, reducing board area by ~35% |
| Current-Mode Control | Provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting and stable operation across wide load/transient conditions |
| Adjustable Output Voltage | 0.8V to VIN × 0.9 range via two-resistor feedback network - supports 3.3V, 5V, or custom rail generation |
| Thermal Shutdown Protection | Auto-recovery after cooldown - prevents permanent damage during sustained overloads or ambient overheating |
| UVLO with Hysteresis | 6.5V turn-on / 5.5V turn-off - avoids oscillation near minimum input voltage during brownout conditions |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Automotive Body Control Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP63200WU-7 | Pin-compatible upgrade with 2A rating, 500kHz switching, and improved efficiency (92% @ 12V→5V/2A) | Supports higher-frequency magnetics and lower output capacitance; includes soft-start and power-good flag | Recommended for new designs requiring active lifecycle support and enhanced transient response |
| MP2451DT-LF-Z | 2A, 2MHz operation, external compensation, 4.5–36V input, but requires external MOSFETs | Greater design flexibility for noise-sensitive applications; larger solution size due to discrete FETs | Preferred where EMI filtering is critical and board space permits larger footprint |
Compared with AP3005MTR-G1, AP63200WU-7 offers extended product availability and tighter output regulation (±1%), while MP2451DT-LF-Z trades integration for frequency agility and external loop tuning-both require schematic and layout revision but retain similar input/output voltage handling.

FAQ
Is AP3005MTR-G1 still in production?
No. Diodes Incorporated officially discontinued AP3005MTR-G1 and marked it obsolete in March 2020. The datasheet (DS42620 Rev. 1–4) explicitly states "PART OBSOLETE – USE AP63200". No new manufacturing lots are planned, and remaining stock is limited to authorized distributor channel inventory.
What is the recommended replacement for AP3005MTR-G1?
Diodes Incorporated recommends AP63200WU-7 as the direct functional and pin-compatible successor. It matches the 2A output, 8–36V input, and SOP-8 package while adding power-good indication, soft-start, and improved efficiency across load range. Migration requires only minor BOM and layout updates for decoupling and feedback resistors.
Can AP3005MTR-G1 operate with input voltage below 8V?
No. Absolute maximum ratings specify 6.5V minimum turn-on threshold, but recommended operating conditions strictly define 8V as the lowest functional input voltage. Operation below 8V risks unstable regulation, dropout, or premature UVLO shutdown due to insufficient headroom for internal bias generation.
Does AP3005MTR-G1 require external compensation components?
No. The AP3005MTR-G1 uses internally compensated current-mode control. The COMP pin is not user-accessible for external network connection; it is reserved for internal error amplifier output and must remain unconnected per datasheet guidance. No RC networks or capacitors are needed on this pin.
