Product details
Overview
AP3405SHE-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 2.0MHz fixed-frequency, current-mode PWM synchronous buck DC-DC converter in U-DFN2020-8 (Type E) package, delivering up to 600mA output current with input range 2.3V–5.5V and adjustable output 0.7V–5.5V. It integrates high-side/low-side MOSFETs, soft-start, UVLO, thermal shutdown, and hiccup-mode short-circuit protection-designed for compact post-regulation in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the AP3405SHE-7 datasheet, AP3405SHE-7 pinout, AP3405SHE-7 application, or AP3405SHE-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.0MHz switching frequency enabling small external LC components, 0.6V feedback reference for precise output setting, and dual ground pins (AGND/PGND) for noise-sensitive analog/digital separation in battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
The AP3405 employs peak-current-mode control with slope compensation for stable operation across wide duty cycles and fast transient response. Its internal oscillator is fixed at 2.0MHz (±15%), supporting compact 2.2μH inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors.
Protection architecture includes input UVLO with 2.1V threshold and 100mV hysteresis, cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limit at 1A, thermal shutdown at +140°C with +40°C hysteresis, and hiccup-mode recovery after short-circuit removal when FB rises above 0.4V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, Li-poly, and 3.3V/5V rail inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 600mA continuous - sufficient for powering core logic, RF transceivers, or sensor subsystems in wearables. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.0MHz (typ.) - enables use of sub-3mm inductors and reduces output ripple without increasing filter size. |
| Feedback Voltage | 0.600V ±9mV - allows precise output programming via resistor divider; tolerance directly impacts output accuracy. |
| High-Side RDS(on) | 380mΩ (typ. at 3.6V) - determines conduction loss at light-to-moderate loads; paired with 300mΩ low-side switch. |
| Soft-Start Time | 150–300µs - controls inrush current during power-up, preventing input rail droop in multi-rail systems. |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.1V (rising), 2.0V (falling) - ensures clean startup/shutdown sequencing with battery voltage sag. |
Pinout & Package
The AP3405SHE-7 is housed in a thermally enhanced U-DFN2020-8 (Type E) package with 0.5mm pitch, 2.0×2.0mm body, and exposed thermal pad (EP) for PCB heat dissipation. Pin 1 is marked with a dot; Pins 1 and 2 are NC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 3 (AGND) | Analog Ground Reference | Low-noise return path for feedback amplifier and bandgap reference; must be routed separately from power ground. |
| 4 (PGND) | Power Ground Return | High-current return for SW node and internal MOSFETs; connects directly to thermal pad and input/output capacitor grounds. |
| 5 (SW) | Switch Node Output | Drives external inductor; carries high di/dt pulses-requires tight layout with minimal loop area to reduce EMI. |
| 6 (VIN) | Main Power Input | Supplies internal bias and high-side switch; requires local 4.7μF ceramic capacitor placed near pin. |
| 7 (FB) | Voltage Feedback Input | Senses output via resistive divider; high-impedance node sensitive to noise-must avoid routing near SW or inductors. |
| 8 (EN) | Enable Control Input | Logic-level digital enable (1.0V high threshold); supports system-level power sequencing and standby mode control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous Buck Topology | Integrated high-side (380mΩ) and low-side (300mΩ) MOSFETs eliminate external diode, improving efficiency by ~10% at 300mA vs. asynchronous design. |
| Current-Mode Control | Enables inherent line/load regulation and stable operation with ceramic output capacitors; eliminates need for external compensation network. |
| Hiccup-Mode SCP | After short-circuit detection (FB < 0.3V), IC shuts down, waits, then attempts restart-prevents thermal runaway while allowing automatic recovery when fault clears. |
| Dual Ground Separation | Independent AGND and PGND pins minimize coupling between sensitive analog circuitry and high-current switching paths, reducing output voltage noise. |
| Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis | Shuts down at +140°C junction temperature and auto-restarts only after cooling to +100°C-prevents oscillatory behavior during sustained overload. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP3415SHE-7 | Same U-DFN2020-8 package but 1.5MHz switching frequency; higher 1A output current rating; identical pinout and FB voltage. | Supports higher load currents and lower switching losses at medium loads; requires larger inductor (e.g., 4.7μH) due to lower frequency. | Select when >600mA output or lower EMI sensitivity is required; not drop-in due to different inductor sizing. |
| TPS62231DRYR | 2.25MHz fixed-frequency buck; 600mA rating; 0.6V FB; but uses WSON-6 package with no separate AGND/PGND pins. | Lacks dedicated analog/power ground separation-less suitable for noise-sensitive analog signal chains. | Prefer for cost-sensitive, non-analog-intensive applications where board space is tighter than noise margin. |
Compared with AP3405SHE-7, AP3415SHE-7 offers higher current headroom and lower switching loss at mid-load, while TPS62231DRYR trades ground separation for smaller footprint-making AP3405SHE-7 optimal for mixed-signal wearables needing both compactness and analog integrity.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended output capacitance for stable operation?
The AP3405SHE-7 requires a minimum 10μF ceramic output capacitor with ≤10mΩ ESR for stable 2.0MHz operation. Lower values risk instability or excessive ripple; X5R/X7R dielectrics are preferred for temperature stability. Layout must place capacitor within 3mm of PGND and FB pins.
Can the AP3405SHE-7 operate with an input voltage below 2.3V?
No-the AP3405SHE-7 has a hard UVLO threshold of 2.1V (rising), and guaranteed operation begins only at VIN ≥ 2.3V per datasheet specifications. Below this, the device remains disabled and provides no regulated output, even if EN is high.
How does the hiccup-mode short-circuit protection recover?
When FB drops below 0.3V indicating output short, the AP3405SHE-7 enters hiccup mode: it disables switching, waits ~10ms, then attempts restart. Recovery occurs automatically once FB rises above 0.4V-typically after short removal and output capacitor recharge through the body diode of the low-side FET.
Is the U-DFN2020-8 (Type E) package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes-the AP3405SHE-7 is fully RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU), totally lead-free, and halogen/antimony-free ("Green" per Diodes' definition: Br+Cl <1500ppm, Sb <1000ppm). The marking "2V" on top surface confirms compliance per ordering information.
