Product details
Overview
AP3105VKTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a green-mode current-mode PWM controller in SOT-23-6 package, designed for off-line AC-DC power supplies. It delivers 65 kHz nominal switching frequency with ±6% dithering, burst-mode operation below 30 kHz to suppress audible noise, and cycle-by-cycle OCP with 0.85 V current-sense threshold. Used in notebook adapters and LCD monitor auxiliary supplies, it integrates leading-edge blanking (250 ns), internal slope compensation, and VCC maintain mode for stable light-load regulation.
For engineers reviewing the AP3105VKTR-G1 datasheet, AP3105VKTR-G1 pinout, AP3105VKTR-G1 application, or AP3105VKTR-G1 equivalent, this controller supports design of cost-sensitive, low-standby-loss SMPS with adjustable skip mode, latch-type OTP/OVP protection via CTRL pin, and secondary short-winding protection using FOCP at 1.8 V.
Technical Context
The AP3105VKTR-G1 implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with frequency foldback and burst-mode transition under light load, reducing average switching loss while maintaining output regulation. Its oscillator includes jitter modulation to improve EMI performance without external components.
Protection architecture combines auto-recoverable OLP and VOVP (28.5 V trigger) with latch-mode OTP and OVP triggered via CTRL pin thresholds (0.5 V low / 2.5 V high). The integrated 250 ns LEB, 0.85 V current-sense comparator, and 1.8 V FOCP comparator enable robust primary-side overcurrent response within 100 ns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 65 kHz typical; ±6% dithering reduces EMI peak emissions |
| Startup Current | 5 µA typical; enables high-value startup resistor to minimize standby loss |
| VCC UVLO Thresholds | Turn-on at 15.5 V, turn-off at 8.6 V; ensures reliable start-up and brown-out recovery |
| Current Sense Threshold | 0.85 V max; sets peak inductor current limit with cycle-by-cycle OCP |
| FOCP Threshold | 1.8 V; triggers fast overcurrent protection with ≤100 ns delay for secondary short detection |
| Burst Mode Frequency | 20–30 kHz; avoids audible noise while sustaining regulation during ultra-light load |
| CTRL Pin Latch Thresholds | 0.5 V (low) and 2.5 V (high); configurable latch protection for OTP/OVP events |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-6 (K package), 2.82 mm × 2.95 mm × 1.45 mm body, thermal resistance θJA = 250 °C/W, rated for -40 °C to +150 °C junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Signal ground reference | Return path for gate driver and internal bias circuits; must be low-impedance connection to power ground plane |
| 2 FB | Feedback input | Connects directly to opto-coupler cathode; voltage >4.2 V for 32 ms triggers hiccup-mode OLP protection |
| 3 CTRL | Latch control input | Configurable latch trigger: low-level (≤0.5 V) or high-level (≥2.5 V); open if unused |
| 4 SENSE | Current sense input | Monitors MOSFET source voltage via external shunt; built-in 250 ns LEB prevents false OCP triggering |
| 5 VCC | Supply voltage input | Power rail for internal circuitry; includes 28.5 V overvoltage clamp and 10.2 V VCC maintain mode activation |
| 6 GATE | Gate driver output | Push-pull CMOS output driving external MOSFET gate; 8 V high / 1 V low level at 20 mA load |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Green-mode burst operation | Reduces switching loss at light load by lowering frequency to 20–30 kHz, eliminating audible coil whine |
| Adjustable skip mode | External resistor on SENSE pin sets burst entry point, enabling optimization of efficiency vs. output ripple trade-off |
| VCC maintain mode | Activates when VCC drops near 10.2 V to sustain gate drive and prevent unintended restart during step-load transients |
| Secondary short-winding protection (FOCP) | 1.8 V threshold with ≤100 ns response detects secondary rectifier shorts before catastrophic failure occurs |
| Integrated slope compensation | Eliminates need for external ramp generator in >50% duty-cycle applications, improving loop stability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP3125AVKTR-G1 | Higher VCC OVP (32 V), enhanced burst-mode resolution, 100 µA lower operating current | Supports wider input range (up to 305 VAC) and tighter standby regulation in high-line applications | Select for new designs requiring extended voltage margin and improved light-load efficiency |
| UC3842BD1R2G | Voltage-mode control, no burst mode, no integrated LEB or slope compensation, 16-pin SOIC package | Requires external compensation network and discrete OCP circuit; lacks green-mode features | Choose only for legacy redesign where footprint compatibility with UC3842 is mandatory |
Compared with AP3105VKTR-G1, AP3125AVKTR-G1 offers higher voltage tolerance and lower quiescent current for next-gen adapters, while UC3842BD1R2G provides basic voltage-mode control but demands additional components for protection and efficiency optimization.

FAQ
What is the function of the CTRL pin in AP3105VKTR-G1?
The CTRL pin provides configurable latch protection: it triggers shutdown when pulled below 0.5 V (low-threshold mode) or above 2.5 V (high-threshold mode). When used with an NTC thermistor to ground, it enables precise overtemperature protection. If unused, the pin must be left open-not tied to VCC or GND-to avoid false triggering.
How does the VCC maintain mode operate during light-load conditions?
VCC maintain mode activates when the VCC voltage drops to approximately 10.2 V. The IC briefly resumes switching to recharge the VCC capacitor via the startup resistor, preventing UVLO-induced restart cycles. This sustains regulation during no-load or micro-load conditions without requiring an auxiliary winding or linear regulator.
Can AP3105VKTR-G1 replace AP3103 in existing designs?
Yes-AP3105VKTR-G1 is pin-to-pin compatible with AP3103 and offers identical SOT-23-6 pinout and core functionality. However, it adds burst-mode operation, VCC maintain mode, and enhanced FOCP response. No layout changes are needed, but review timing parameters and protection thresholds to confirm system-level behavior matches requirements.
What is the purpose of the 250 ns leading-edge blanking (LEB) on the SENSE pin?
The 250 ns LEB disables the current-sense comparator immediately after MOSFET turn-on to ignore parasitic voltage spikes caused by transformer leakage inductance and PCB layout. This prevents false OCP triggering during normal switching transitions, ensuring reliable current limiting only during actual overcurrent events.
