Product details
Overview
AP3407AKTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.4 MHz fixed-frequency, current-mode PWM synchronous buck DC-DC converter in SOT-23-5 package, integrating low-RDS(ON) P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs (0.28 Ω / 0.25 Ω), delivering up to 1.2 A output current with peak efficiency of 95% across 2.5–5.5 V input range, optimized for single-cell Li-ion portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the AP3407AKTR-G1 datasheet, AP3407AKTR-G1 pinout, AP3407AKTR-G1 application, or AP3407AKTR-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include adjustable 0.6 V reference voltage, 100% duty cycle capability in dropout, integrated soft-start, thermal shutdown at +160 °C, and RoHS/Green compliance with halogen/antimony-free construction.
Technical Context
The AP3407AKTR-G1 implements current-mode control with internal oscillator (1.12–1.68 MHz), error amplifier referenced to 0.6 V ±2%, and PWM comparator driving high-side P-MOSFET and low-side N-MOSFET switches. It features built-in over-current protection (1.5–2.0 A limit), short-circuit protection, and UVLO with 2.3 V threshold and 0.2 V hysteresis.
Functional block integration includes reverse-current prevention, soft-start timing (~1 ms), and feedback loop compensation via external resistor divider on FB pin. The device supports both adjustable-output and fixed-output configurations, with EN pin enabling/disabling logic (1.5 V high, 0.4 V low) and shutdown current <1 µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - supports single Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V) and USB-powered systems without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 1.2 A continuous - sufficient for core logic, RF transceivers, or display drivers in compact portable designs. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.4 MHz typical - enables use of small 2.2 µH inductors and 4.7–22 µF ceramic output capacitors for space-constrained layouts. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.6 V ±2% - sets output accuracy for adjustable configurations; enables 0.6 V to VIN output range with external divider. |
| Efficiency Peak | 95% - achieved at mid-load (e.g., 500 mA @ 3.3 VIN/2.5 VOUT), minimizing thermal rise in sealed enclosures. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160 °C with +20 °C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during sustained overload or poor PCB heat sinking. |
| Quiescent Current | 62 µA typical - extends battery life in always-on standby modes without compromising startup responsiveness. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 surface-mount package (3.0 × 1.7 × 1.3 mm, 265 °C/W θJA) with gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant and halogen/antimony-free ("Green") construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Power input supply | Bypassed with ≥4.7 µF ceramic capacitor to GND; supplies internal regulators and gate drivers. |
| 2 (GND) | Power and signal ground | Common return path for input/output capacitors, inductor, and internal circuitry; critical for EMI and stability. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Logic-level enable: >1.5 V activates regulator; <0.4 V forces shutdown with <1 µA supply current. |
| 4 (SW) | Switch node | Drain connection of internal P- and N-MOSFETs; connects directly to inductor; requires low-inductance layout. |
| 5 (FB) | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage via resistor divider; regulates output by comparing to 0.6 V internal reference. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Power Switches | P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs with RDS(ON) = 0.28 Ω / 0.25 Ω reduce external component count and conduction losses. |
| 100% Duty Cycle Operation | Enables dropout mode down to VOUT – VIN ≈ 0 V, maintaining regulation as battery discharges below output voltage. |
| Built-in Soft-start | ~1 ms internal ramp prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up or EN assertion. |
| Comprehensive Protection | Includes over-current, short-circuit, thermal shutdown (+160 °C), and UVLO (2.3 V with 0.2 V hysteresis) for robust field operation. |
| Low Quiescent Current | 62 µA operating current and <1 µA shutdown current extend runtime in battery-backed IoT sensors and wearables. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2153GQZ-P | 2.2 MHz switching, 1.5 A rating, 0.6 V reference, but requires external bootstrap capacitor and lacks 100% duty cycle. | Higher frequency enables smaller magnetics but increases EMI filtering complexity; no dropout support limits low-VIN operation. | Select when board space is constrained and input stays >3.0 V; avoid if Li-ion end-of-discharge operation is required. |
| TPS62231DRVR | 3 MHz fixed frequency, 0.6 V reference, 0.95 A max, integrated soft-start, but only 2.05–6.0 V input range and no thermal hysteresis. | Higher minimum input excludes direct use with discharged Li-ion (<2.5 V); thermal shutdown lacks hysteresis, risking oscillation near trip point. | Prefer for higher-frequency designs where input remains >2.5 V and thermal margin is well controlled; verify dropout behavior. |
Compared with MP2153GQZ-P and TPS62231DRVR, AP3407AKTR-G1 offers unique 100% duty cycle capability and tighter thermal hysteresis (+20 °C), making it more suitable for wide-input portable systems with aggressive battery discharge profiles.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of AP3407AKTR-G1 under real-world PCB thermal conditions?
The AP3407AKTR-G1 delivers 1.2 A continuous output current when mounted on a standard 2-layer PCB with 1-in² 2-oz copper pour per side and ambient temperature ≤+60 °C. At +85 °C ambient, derating to 0.95 A is recommended based on thermal resistance (θJA = 265 °C/W) and 160 °C junction limit.
Can AP3407AKTR-G1 operate with input voltage below 2.5 V, such as a deeply discharged Li-ion cell?
No - the absolute minimum input voltage is 2.5 V per datasheet specifications. Below this, UVLO disables operation, and internal bias circuits cannot sustain regulation. The device does not support sub-2.5 V operation even in dropout mode; design must ensure battery cutoff above 2.5 V or add pre-boost stage.
Is the FB pin internally compensated, or does it require external compensation components?
The AP3407AKTR-G1 uses internal compensation for the error amplifier and does not require external compensation components on the FB node. Stability is ensured with standard output capacitor ESR ranges (e.g., 5–50 mΩ for ceramic caps); no additional RC network is needed for basic configurations.
Does AP3407AKTR-G1 support forced PWM mode, or is it strictly current-mode with automatic PFM/PWM transition?
AP3407AKTR-G1 operates exclusively in current-mode PWM with fixed 1.4 MHz frequency and no PFM mode. It does not support forced PWM or frequency modulation; light-load efficiency relies on reduced switching losses from low quiescent current (62 µA), not pulse-skipping or frequency scaling.
