Product details
Overview
AP3410KTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.5MHz synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs, delivering up to 1.2A output current across a 2.5V–5.5V input range and supporting adjustable output voltages from 0.6V to 0.9×VIN. It features 200mΩ RDS(ON) switches, 600mV feedback reference, and built-in protections including UVLO, thermal shutdown, and short-circuit protection - deployed in portable power regulation for PDA and notebook computers.
For engineers reviewing the AP3410KTR-G1 datasheet, AP3410KTR-G1 pinout, AP3410KTR-G1 application, or AP3410KTR-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.5MHz fixed-frequency operation enabling compact external components, 100% duty-cycle capability for low-dropout operation, and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AP3410KTR-G1 employs peak-current mode control with an internal 1.5MHz oscillator, eliminating need for external timing components. Its synchronous rectification architecture uses matched 200mΩ PMOS and NMOS switches to minimize conduction loss and eliminate external Schottky diode requirements.
Feedback regulation is based on a precise 600mV reference voltage with ±2% accuracy over temperature and load, and the device supports soft-start (400µs), under-voltage lockout (2.3V rising threshold), and thermal shutdown at 155°C with 30°C hysteresis - all implemented in a single monolithic IC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz fixed - enables use of small 2.2µH inductors and ceramic capacitors in portable designs |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, Li-polymer, and USB-powered systems |
| Output Current | 1.2A continuous - sufficient for core logic rails in PDAs and embedded microcontrollers |
| Feedback Reference | 600mV ±2% - sets output via resistor divider; enables 0.6V–0.9×VIN adjustment without external reference |
| RDS(ON) (HS/LS) | 200mΩ each at VIN=5V - reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency above 85% at mid-load |
| Soft-Start Time | 400µs - limits inrush current during power-up, preventing input rail collapse |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.3V (rising), 2.1V (falling) - ensures clean startup/shutdown in battery-discharge scenarios |
Pinout & Package
AP3410KTR-G1 is housed in a RoHS-compliant, lead-free SOT-23-5 package (2.9mm × 2.8mm × 1.3mm), optimized for thermal performance on standard FR-4 PCBs with minimal copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic signal; pulls device into ultra-low 0.1µA shutdown state when low |
| GND | Power ground reference | Common return path for internal power switches and feedback circuitry; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| LX | Switch node output | Drives external inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - must be routed with minimal loop area |
| VIN | Main power input | Supplies internal bias and power switches; requires local 4.7µF ceramic decoupling near pin |
| FB | Feedback voltage sense | Monitors resistive divider on output rail; regulates VOUT to maintain 600mV at this pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated 200mΩ HS/LS MOSFETs eliminate external Schottky diode and associated losses |
| 100% duty-cycle operation | Enables dropout as low as VOUT − VIN ≈ 0V - critical for battery-powered systems nearing end-of-discharge |
| Built-in protection suite | UVLO, thermal shutdown (155°C), short-circuit, and over-current protection ensure robust field reliability |
| No external timing components | 1.5MHz oscillator and soft-start capacitor integrated - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity |
| Low quiescent current | 220µA operating current and 0.1µA shutdown current extend battery life in always-on subsystems |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2158GQ-Z (Monolithic Power) | 2.2MHz switching, 1.5A rating, 0.6V reference, but requires external compensation network | Higher frequency allows smaller inductors but increases EMI sensitivity in noise-critical analog sections | Preferred where board space is tighter than EMI budget permits |
| TI TPS62231DRYR | 3MHz operation, 0.6V reference, 0.65µA shutdown current, but only 600mA output capability | Lower output current limits use to sub-1A MCU cores; superior light-load efficiency below 10mA | Optimal for ultra-low-power sleep-mode dominant applications with modest peak loads |
Compared with MP2158GQ-Z and TPS62231DRYR, the AP3410KTR-G1 balances 1.2A output, 1.5MHz frequency, and full protection integration in SOT-23-5 - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 1A-class portable power rails where design simplicity and reliability are prioritized over extreme frequency or ultra-low quiescent current.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended output capacitance for stable operation?
The AP3410KTR-G1 requires a minimum 10µF ceramic output capacitor with ≤5mΩ ESR for stable regulation and adequate ripple suppression. The datasheet specifies 10µF X5R/X7R type as standard; lower values may cause instability or excessive output voltage deviation under load transients.
Can the AP3410KTR-G1 operate with input voltage below 2.5V?
No - the device's absolute minimum input voltage is 2.5V per recommended operating conditions. Below this, UVLO prevents startup, and internal bias circuits cannot sustain regulation. Operation at 2.3V (UVLO falling threshold) results in forced shutdown, not functional operation.
Is the SOT-23-5 package thermally adequate for 1.2A continuous output?
Yes, when mounted on a 1-inch² 2oz copper pad with two thermal vias, the SOT-23-5 achieves θJA ≈ 120°C/W in typical layouts, limiting junction rise to ~100°C at 1.2A/5V input. Derating is advised above 70°C ambient or with reduced copper area.
Does the AP3410KTR-G1 support forced PWM mode or only auto PFM/PWM?
The AP3410KTR-G1 operates exclusively in automatic PFM/PWM mode - no external pin or register controls forced PWM. At light loads (<10mA), it enters PFM to maintain >80% efficiency; PWM resumes automatically above ~20mA with seamless transition and no audible switching noise.
