Product details
Overview
AP3108LSS9-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a current-mode PWM controller for offline AC-DC power supplies, delivering ultra-low standby power (<15 μA startup current), green-mode frequency modulation (22–65 kHz), and integrated high-voltage startup (700 V HV pin) with X-CAP discharge. It enables constant-voltage/constant-current (CV/CC) regulation when paired with AP4320 secondary-side controller in USB PD adapters and open-frame SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the AP3108LSS9-13 datasheet, AP3108LSS9-13 pinout, AP3108LSS9-13 application, or AP3108LSS9-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5 V/V FB-to-SENSE gain ratio, 2.5 V primary OCP reference, 75% max duty cycle, VCC LDO operation across 10–50 V VCC_IN, and SSOP-9 (Type CJ) package with HV pin for line sensing and auto-discharge.
Technical Context
The AP3108LSS9-13 implements current-mode control with internal slope compensation and 250 ns leading-edge blanking on the SENSE pin. Its oscillator supports fixed-frequency (65 kHz) operation under heavy load and green-mode frequency foldback down to 22 kHz at light load-clamped to avoid audible noise.
It integrates an HV-startup circuit with dual charge currents (0.2 mA low-VCC, 1.8 mA high-VCC) and fault-mode current (95 µA), plus X-CAP discharge via HV pin with 1.7 mA typical sink current. The VCC LDO accepts 10–50 V input and regulates to 9.8–21 V depending on VCC_IN, enabling wide-output-voltage designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max switching frequency | 65 kHz - sets upper bound for transformer size and EMI filter design in 230 VAC systems |
| Green mode min frequency | 22 kHz - clamped lower limit prevents acoustic noise in no-load/standby operation |
| VCC LDO input range | 10–50 V VCC_IN - supports auxiliary winding designs across 5 V to 24 V output rails |
| Primary OCP reference | 2.50 V - precise internal reference for constant-output-current (COCP) control independent of line voltage |
| HV pin rating | 700 V - enables direct connection to rectified AC line for startup and X-CAP discharge without external components |
| FB-to-SENSE gain (KFB-CS) | 3.0 V/V (typ) - defines opto-coupler feedback scaling for accurate CV/CC crossover in dual-loop systems |
| Startup current (IST) | 1.5 μA (typ) - enables <30 mW no-load power in 65 W adapter designs meeting DOE VI/EU CoC Tier 2 |
Pinout & Package
AP3108LSS9-13 is housed in a lead-free, RoHS-compliant SSOP-9 (Type CJ) package with 0.65 mm pitch and exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pin 1 is marked by a dot; top-view orientation follows JEDEC MO-187.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CTRL | Programmable protection input | Accepts external OTP or hiccup latch-off signal; low-threshold (1.0 V) and high-threshold (3.0 V) enable dual-level fault response |
| 2 FB | Opto-coupler feedback input | Receives error voltage from secondary-side controller; 20 kΩ input impedance enables stable loop compensation |
| 3 DEM | De-magnetization detection | Samples secondary rectifier conduction time (tONS) to compute real-time output current in COCP mode |
| 4 VCC_IN | LDO input supply | Wide-range (10–50 V) input to internal regulator; eliminates need for separate bias winding in multi-output designs |
| 5 GND | Signal ground reference | Common return for control logic, gate driver, and sense circuits; isolated from power ground in layout |
| 6 GATE | MOSFET gate driver output | 500 mA peak sink/source drives 1 Ω gate resistance with 150 ns rise time; clamped at 10.5 V to protect MOSFET gate oxide |
| 7 VCC | Internal supply rail | Regulated output of LDO (9.8–21 V); powers all internal blocks and provides bias for gate driver |
| 8 SENSE | Primary current sense input | Monitors RCS voltage with 250 ns LEB; 0.95 V max threshold prevents false triggering during transients |
| 9 HV | High-voltage line sense & startup | 700 V rated input senses AC line presence, initiates startup current, and discharges X-CAPs automatically at AC removal |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-audible green mode | Frequency foldback clamped at 22 kHz avoids mechanical resonance in transformers and capacitors |
| X-CAP discharge function | 1.7 mA internal sink replaces 1 MΩ/0.5 W bleed resistors, cutting standby loss by ~15 mW in 65 W adapters |
| VCC maintain mode | 8.5 V UVLO hysteresis sustains operation during brown-out dips without restart glitches |
| Primary constant OCP (COCP) | Real-time Io = VREF × NP/(RCS × NS × KCC) enables precise short-circuit current limiting without secondary sensing |
| Line-compensated current sampling | Adjustable R1-based compensation corrects VCSM error caused by MOSFET turn-off delay across 90–264 VAC input range |
Applications
| USB-C PD Adapters | Industrial Open-Frame PSUs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP3106LSS9-13 | Lower max frequency (50 kHz), no X-CAP discharge, 3.5 V FB OCP threshold vs. 4.2 V | Lacks green-mode frequency foldback and HV-driven discharge; suited for cost-sensitive non-USB adapters | Select only if 50 kHz operation and absence of X-CAP discharge are acceptable in target design |
| ICE2QS03G | Fixed 65 kHz, no integrated HV startup, requires external start-up resistor and X-CAP bleed network | Higher BOM count and standby power; lacks line-compensated COCP and DEM-based SUVP/SOVP | Choose only when legacy ICE2 platform compatibility or specific Infineon qualification is required |
Compared with AP3106LSS9-13 and ICE2QS03G, the AP3108LSS9-13 uniquely combines X-CAP discharge, line-compensated COCP, and 22 kHz green-mode floor-enabling <30 mW standby and precise short-circuit current limiting without secondary sensing or external components.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the HV pin on the AP3108LSS9-13?
The HV pin serves three verified functions: (1) provides high-voltage startup current (0.2–1.8 mA) directly from rectified AC line, eliminating external start-up resistors; (2) senses AC line presence to trigger automatic X-CAP discharge (1.7 mA sink) upon AC removal; and (3) monitors line voltage for brown-in/out protection with 91–100 V thresholds. It is rated for 700 V DC and requires no external clamping.
How does the AP3108LSS9-13 achieve constant output current (COCP) without secondary current sensing?
The AP3108LSS9-13 calculates real-time output current using the product of sampled primary current (VCSM at 50% GATE on-time) and secondary conduction time (tONS/t derived from DEM pin), held constant at VREF = 2.50 V. This primary-side COCP method-combined with line-compensation via external R1-achieves ±5% current accuracy across 90–264 VAC input without secondary shunt or Hall sensors.
Can the AP3108LSS9-13 be used in designs requiring AEC-Q100 qualification?
No-the AP3108LSS9-13 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes Incorporated explicitly states in the datasheet that automotive-grade versions require specific change control, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing; this part is intended for industrial and consumer power supplies only. For automotive applications, contact Diodes directly for qualified alternatives like the AP3108Q series.
What is the role of the DEM pin beyond de-magnetization detection?
The DEM pin performs two critical roles: (1) detects transformer demagnetization to determine tONS for COCP calculation; and (2) enables secondary-side overvoltage (SOVP, 4.8 V threshold) and undervoltage (SUVP, 0.57 V threshold) protection with 25 ms blank time after startup. Its 75 mV internal threshold ensures reliable detection even with low-turn-ratio auxiliary windings.
