Product details
Overview
AP3407KTR-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- and N-channel MOSFETs to deliver up to 1.2 A output current with peak efficiency of 95% across 2.5–5.5 V input range; it supports adjustable output down to 0.6 V and enables 100% duty cycle in dropout-ideal for single-cell Li-ion portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the AP3407KTR-G1 datasheet, AP3407KTR-G1 pinout, AP3407KTR-G1 application, or AP3407KTR-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated synchronous switch architecture, thermal shutdown at +160°C, soft-start timing (~1 ms), UVLO threshold (2.3 V), and FB reference voltage accuracy (±2% over temperature).
Technical Context
The AP3407KTR-G1 implements current-mode control with internal oscillator set to 1.4 MHz (±20%), enabling compact external components including standard 2.2 µH inductors and ceramic input/output capacitors. Its error amplifier compares FB voltage against a 0.6 V reference, while the PWM comparator drives gate logic that manages both high-side P-MOS and low-side N-MOS switches.
Protection features are fully integrated: over-current protection triggers at 1.5–2.0 A, short-circuit detection shuts down SW within microseconds, thermal shutdown activates at +160°C with +20°C hysteresis, and UVLO prevents operation below 2.3 V with 0.2 V hysteresis-ensuring robustness in battery-voltage sag conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - supports full discharge curve of single Li-ion cell (3.0–4.2 V nominal) plus margin for transient spikes. |
| Output Current | 1.2 A continuous - sufficient for core logic rails in smartphones and wearables without external heatsinking. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.4 MHz (typ), 1.12–1.68 MHz (min–max) - enables use of small 2.2 µH inductors and reduces audible noise. |
| Efficiency | Up to 95% - achieved via synchronous rectification and low RDS(ON) (0.28 Ω P-MOS / 0.25 Ω N-MOS) minimizing conduction loss. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.6 V ±2% - sets output voltage via external resistor divider; enables precise regulation of 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V rails. |
| Soft-start Time | ~1 ms - controls inrush current during power-up, preventing input rail collapse and reducing stress on input capacitor. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C with +20°C hysteresis - protects die under sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package: 2.82 mm × 2.65 mm × 1.3 mm body, 0.95 mm lead pitch, thermally enhanced pad layout per Diodes' recommended footprint (E2 = 3.60 mm, G = 1.60 mm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (EN) | Enable control input | Logic-level enable: >1.5 V activates regulator; <0.4 V forces shutdown with <1 µA quiescent current. |
| 2 (GND) | Power and signal ground | Common return for internal circuitry, feedback network, and power path; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 (SW) | Switch node | Drain connection of internal P-MOS and N-MOS; connects directly to inductor; requires tight layout to reduce EMI and switching losses. |
| 4 (VIN) | Input supply | Primary power input; requires ≥4.7 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress high-frequency ripple. |
| 5 (FB) | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage via resistor divider; open-loop gain and phase margin designed for stability with standard 22 µF output capacitance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Synchronous Switches | P-MOS + N-MOS with RDS(ON) ≤0.28 Ω / ≤0.25 Ω eliminates external diode, improving efficiency by ~8% vs. asynchronous designs. |
| 100% Duty Cycle Operation | Enables dropout mode when VIN ≈ VOUT, maintaining regulation even as battery discharges below target output voltage. |
| Built-in Soft-start | Internal 1 ms ramp prevents output overshoot and limits inrush current into bulk output capacitance during startup. |
| Comprehensive Protection Suite | Includes over-current limit (1.5–2.0 A), short-circuit shutdown, thermal shutdown (+160°C), and UVLO (2.3 V) - no external components required. |
| Green & RoHS Compliance | Lead-free, halogen-free, antimony-free construction meets EU RoHS 2 (2011/65/EU) and Diodes' "Green" definition (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP3417KTR-G1 | Same SOT-23-5 package, 2 A output capability, higher RDS(ON) (0.32 Ω P-MOS), 1.5 MHz switching frequency. | Supports higher current loads but requires larger inductor and has lower peak efficiency (93%) at 1.2 A. | Select when future-proofing for >1.2 A loads or when higher thermal margin is needed despite slightly reduced efficiency. |
| MP2158GQZ-P | Monolithic 2 A buck in QFN-8 (2 mm × 2 mm), 2.2 MHz switching, integrated compensation, no external FB divider needed for fixed outputs. | Requires different PCB layout and lacks 100% duty cycle; optimized for ultra-compact fixed-output designs rather than adjustable rails. | Select when board space is critical and output voltage is fixed, accepting trade-off of no dropout mode and higher component cost. |
Compared with AP3407KTR-G1, AP3417KTR-G1 offers higher current headroom at modest efficiency penalty, while MP2158GQZ-P trades adjustability and dropout capability for smaller footprint and simplified design-making AP3407KTR-G1 optimal for cost-sensitive, adjustable, battery-sag-resilient portable power rails.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP3407KTR-G1 to regulate a 1.2 V output?
The AP3407KTR-G1 requires a minimum input voltage of 2.5 V per datasheet specifications. For a 1.2 V output, regulation is maintained down to VIN = VOUT due to 100% duty cycle capability-so it can sustain 1.2 V output even as input drops to 1.2 V, though performance degrades below 2.5 V input (e.g., reduced efficiency, possible instability).
Can AP3407KTR-G1 operate without an external feedback resistor divider?
No-AP3407KTR-G1 is the adjustable version (AP3407, not AP3407A). It requires an external resistor divider from VOUT to FB and from FB to GND to set output voltage. Fixed-output variants like AP3407A connect FB directly to VOUT, but AP3407KTR-G1 mandates the divider for all output voltages except when configured for minimum 0.6 V.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature before thermal shutdown activates?
Thermal shutdown activates at +160°C junction temperature, with +20°C hysteresis-meaning the device resumes operation only after junction temperature falls below +140°C. This threshold is fixed and non-adjustable, implemented via on-die thermal sensing circuitry independent of external components.
How does the EN pin behave during partial power loss or noisy supply conditions?
The EN pin has 1.5 V turn-on and 0.4 V turn-off thresholds with built-in hysteresis, providing noise immunity against supply ripple. When VIN sags near UVLO (2.3 V), EN remains asserted until VIN recovers above 2.3 V, preventing erratic toggling. Pulling EN below 0.4 V guarantees shutdown with <1 µA supply current, isolating the regulator from weak sources.
