Product details
Overview
AP3102MTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a green-mode PWM controller IC for off-line AC-DC power supplies, featuring current-mode control, programmable 65 kHz switching frequency (±3% voltage stability), 5 μA typical start-up current, and integrated brownout, OVP, OTP, OLP, and latch/auto-recoverable protection modes. It targets LCD monitor/TV power and open-frame SMPS designs requiring low standby loss and EMI-compliant operation.
For engineers reviewing the AP3102MTR-G1 datasheet, AP3102MTR-G1 pinout, AP3102MTR-G1 application, or AP3102MTR-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include skip-mode frequency (~22–25 kHz), 500 mA gate drive capability, SO-8 package thermal resistance (186 °C/W), and configurable protection logic across AP3102/V/L variants.
Technical Context
The AP3102MTR-G1 implements current-mode PWM control with internal slope compensation to ensure stability at duty cycles >50%, and uses an external resistor on the RI pin to set oscillator frequency via a constant-current charging scheme (fOSC ≈ 1720/RRI kHz). Its BOK pin provides dual-function line-voltage feedforward for both brownout detection (0.5 V threshold) and line-compensated over-load protection.
Green mode operation is triggered by FB pin voltage decay, reducing switching frequency under light load and entering skip mode below ~25 kHz to suppress audible noise and minimize core/switching losses. The ADJ pin enables adjustable skip-cycle threshold (4.5 V typical latch trigger) and supports system-level latch protection independent of VCC OVP or OLP events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Start-up Current | 5 μA typical - enables use of high-value start-up resistors to minimize power loss in high-input-voltage AC-DC adapters. |
| Switching Frequency | 65 kHz ±3% (VCC-stable) - programmable via RI pin resistor; optimized for EMI compliance and transformer size trade-offs. |
| Skip Mode Frequency | 22–25 kHz - avoids audible noise while maintaining <100 mW standby power in no-load conditions. |
| Gate Drive Current | 500 mA sink/source - directly drives MOSFET gates without external buffer, supporting 7N60-class devices. |
| VCC UVLO Threshold | 16.2 V turn-on / 8.8 V turn-off - ensures reliable startup from bulk capacitor and graceful shutdown during brownout. |
| SENSE Pin Voltage Limit | 0.8 V typical - sets peak primary current limit; compensated by BOK voltage to maintain constant output power across line variations. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 155 °C with 25 °C hysteresis - prevents thermal runaway in enclosed power supplies without external thermistors. |
Pinout & Package
AP3102MTR-G1 is housed in a standard SO-8 (Small Outline-8) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 6.2 mm × 5.1 mm body, and 186 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Pin 1 is marked with a dot or notch; top-view orientation follows JEDEC MS-012.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Signal ground reference | Return path for control logic, driver stage, and internal bias; must be low-impedance connection to power ground plane. |
| 2 FB | Feedback input | Directly interfaces opto-coupler cathode; voltage >4.2 V for 35 ms triggers hiccup-mode OLP protection. |
| 3 BOK | Brownout & line OVP | Dual-function pin: <0.5 V = brownout shutdown; >4 V = line OVP; also feeds forward to SENSE comparator for line-compensated OLP. |
| 4 RI | Oscillator bias | Resistor-to-ground sets switching frequency; 26 kΩ yields 65 kHz; tolerance directly impacts EMI profile and efficiency. |
| 5 ADJ | Skip threshold & latch control | Voltage >4.5 V latches IC until VCC drops below 4.5 V; also adjusts skip-cycle entry point for optimal standby/noise trade-off. |
| 6 SENSE | Current sense input | Monitors primary-side current via sense resistor; includes 250 ns leading-edge blanking to reject MOSFET turn-on spikes. |
| 7 VCC | Supply input | Power rail for internal circuitry and gate driver; clamped at 34 V; UVLO and OVP (28.5 V) protect against supply faults. |
| 8 GATE | Driver output | PWM output driving external N-channel MOSFET gate; 500 mA drive strength supports fast turn-on/turn-off with <350 ns rise/fall times. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Green mode + skip cycle | Reduces standby power to <100 mW while eliminating audible coil whine in LCD/TV power supplies. |
| Programmable brownout & line OVP | Configurable via BOK resistor divider - protects against undervoltage stress and line surges without external components. |
| Internal slope compensation | Eliminates need for external ramp generator in continuous conduction mode flyback designs, simplifying loop compensation. |
| Smart protection logic | Three versions (AP3102/AP3102V/AP3102L) offer selectable latch/auto-recover behavior for VOVP, OLP, and ADJ-triggered faults. |
| Pin fault immunity | Detects and disables PWM on SENSE/RI/FB floating or RI short-to-ground - prevents false triggering and catastrophic failure. |
Applications
| LCD Monitor Power Supply | Notebook Adapter |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: 19–24 V, 3–5 A open-frame flyback supply powering LCD panel backlight and logic board. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side PWM controller regulating output via opto-coupled feedback; manages burst-mode transitions at <10% load.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICE2PCS01G | Fixed 65 kHz frequency; no ADJ pin; only auto-recoverable OLP; no BOK line compensation. | Lacks skip-mode noise suppression and line-compensated OLP - unsuitable for universal-input adapters needing tight output power regulation. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs EMI/audible-noise requirements and input line variation is narrow. |
| KA3842A | Voltage-mode control; no green mode; 1 mA start-up current; no integrated slope compensation or BOK functionality. | Requires external slope compensation network and separate brownout/OVP circuits - increases BOM count and layout complexity. | Choose only for legacy designs where footprint compatibility with DIP-8 is mandatory and efficiency >85% is not required. |
Compared with ICE2PCS01G and KA3842A, AP3102MTR-G1 delivers lower standby loss, tighter line/load regulation via BOK feedforward, and simplified protection implementation - making it optimal for new-design, RoHS-compliant AC-DC supplies targeting global energy standards.

FAQ
What protection functions does AP3102MTR-G1 support, and how do they differ across AP3102/V/L variants?
AP3102MTR-G1 supports cycle-by-cycle OCP, VCC OVP (28.5 V), line OVP (4 V on BOK), brownout (0.5 V on BOK), OTP (155 °C), and OLP (via FB pin). The AP3102 variant offers auto-recoverable VOVP and OLP with external latch-only shutdown; AP3102V adds latch for VOVP; AP3102L extends latch to VOVP, OLP, and ADJ-triggered faults - all confirmed in the DS37419 Rev.2 functional block diagram and ordering table.
Can AP3102MTR-G1 operate without an external opto-coupler in primary-side sensing configurations?
No - the FB pin requires connection to an opto-coupler's cathode for closed-loop voltage regulation, as specified in the "FB Pin and Short Circuit Protection" section of DS37419. Primary-side sensing alternatives (e.g., auxiliary winding feedback) are unsupported; the IC lacks internal reference or ZCD inputs needed for such topologies.
What is the minimum recommended value for the RI resistor, and what happens if it falls below that?
The datasheet specifies RRI = 26 kΩ for 65 kHz operation and confirms stable function down to 10 kΩ (fOSC ≈ 172 kHz). Below 10 kΩ, oscillator instability and excessive ICC (>4 mA) occur per Electrical Characteristics tables; frequencies above 130 kHz degrade EMI performance and increase MOSFET switching losses.
How does the BOK pin enable line-compensated over-load protection, and what resistor ratio achieves 264 VAC line OVP?
BOK voltage scales with bulk DC voltage via a resistor divider; line OVP triggers at 4 V on BOK. For 264 VAC (≈373 VDC bulk), a 18 kΩ/1 kΩ divider (R1/R2) yields ~3.95 V at BOK - within the 3.5–4.5 V trip range. This same divider sets brownout at 0.5 V (≈47 VDC), matching the 85 VAC minimum input requirement.
