Product details
Overview
AP3417CKTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.5MHz synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs, optimized for portable applications requiring compact power solutions. It operates across 2.5V–5.5V input, delivers up to 1A output current, supports adjustable output from 0.6V to 0.9×VIN, and features built-in soft start, UVLO, thermal shutdown, and short-circuit protection in SOT-23-5 package.
For engineers reviewing the AP3417CKTR-G1 datasheet, AP3417CKTR-G1 pinout, AP3417CKTR-G1 application, or AP3417CKTR-G1 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed operating parameters (fOSC = 1.5MHz, VFB = 600mV, RDS(ON) = 200mΩ), and real-world design guidance for post-regulation in battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
The AP3417CKTR-G1 employs peak-current mode control with internal 1.5MHz oscillator and integrated synchronous rectification, eliminating external Schottky diodes. Its error amplifier compares 600mV feedback voltage against regulated output, enabling precise voltage setting via resistor divider on FB pin.
Protection logic includes cycle-by-cycle overcurrent detection triggered at ~1.5A peak inductor current, hiccup-mode short-circuit response below 0.42V FB, and thermal shutdown activation at +160°C with +145°C recovery hysteresis - all implemented without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz fixed - enables use of 2.2µH inductors and compact 4.7µF/10µF ceramic capacitors in space-constrained designs. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), Li-polymer, and 3.3V/5V rail post-regulation. |
| Output Current | 1.0A continuous - sufficient for powering core logic, RF modules, or sensor subsystems in portable electronics. |
| Feedback Voltage | 600mV ±2% - sets output accuracy; allows VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R1/R2) with minimal divider current impact on efficiency. |
| RDS(ON) | 200mΩ (both HS & LS MOSFETs at VIN = 5V) - reduces conduction loss and improves full-load efficiency above 85% at 1.2V/1A. |
| Soft Start Time | 400µs - prevents inrush current during power-up, limiting input capacitor stress and system rail droop. |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.3V (rising), 2.1V (falling) - ensures clean startup/shutdown sequencing when powered from fading battery sources. |
Pinout & Package
AP3417CKTR-G1 is supplied in RoHS-compliant and halogen-free SOT-23-5 package (3.0mm × 1.7mm × 1.3mm), featuring exposed pad for thermal enhancement and standard JEDEC footprint compatibility.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | EN | Active-high enable input; ≥1.5V enables regulation, ≤0.4V forces shutdown with <0.1µA quiescent current. |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference for internal circuitry and switch node return path; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 3 | LX | Switch node output connecting to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current and requires tight layout to minimize EMI. |
| 4 | FB | Resistor-divider feedback input; referenced to 600mV internal bandgap - sets output voltage precision and stability. |
| 5 | VIN | Main power input (2.5–5.5V); supplies internal bias and high-side MOSFET gate drive; requires local 4.7µF ceramic decoupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated 200mΩ HS/LS MOSFETs eliminate external Schottky diode, improving efficiency by ~8–12% at light-to-moderate loads. |
| Internal soft start | 400µs controlled ramp prevents output overshoot and limits inrush into downstream capacitance during startup. |
| Hiccup-mode short-circuit protection | Auto-recovery after fault removal (FB > 0.42V); avoids thermal runaway during sustained output shorts. |
| 100% duty-cycle low-dropout operation | Maintains regulation down to VOUT ≈ VIN − 0.1V - critical for battery-powered systems near end-of-discharge. |
| Input/Output overvoltage protection | Detects VIN > 6.0V and VOUT > 1.2×VREF; disables switching to prevent damage to load or IC under transient overvoltage events. |
Applications
| Wearable Sensor Node | USB-Powered Peripheral |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP3428A | Higher 2A output capability, 2.2MHz switching frequency, same 0.6V feedback and SOT-23-5 package. | Better suited for higher-current loads (e.g., dual-core MCUs) but requires smaller 1µH inductor and tighter layout for EMI control. | Select AP3428A only if >1A output or faster transient response is required; AP3417CKTR-G1 remains optimal for cost-sensitive 1A designs. |
| MP2153GQ-Z | Monolithic 1.2A buck with 2.2MHz fSW, 0.6V FB, but no integrated EN pull-down or hiccup-mode SCP. | Lacks automatic short-circuit recovery; requires external EN control for safe shutdown in fault conditions. | Prefer AP3417CKTR-G1 where autonomous fault handling and guaranteed restart after short removal are mandatory. |
Compared with AP3428A and MP2153GQ-Z, AP3417CKTR-G1 offers best-in-class integration of protection features (hiccup SCP, IOVP, OVP) and thermal robustness (155°C TJ) in a proven 1A footprint - making it ideal for safety-aware, battery-critical portable systems where reliability outweighs marginal current headroom.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP3417CKTR-G1 to regulate a 1.2V output?
The AP3417CKTR-G1 requires minimum 2.5V input to maintain regulation across its full output range. At VOUT = 1.2V, the device achieves 100% duty cycle operation down to VIN ≈ 1.3V, but functional regulation begins only at 2.5V per datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions - below which UVLO disables switching.
Can AP3417CKTR-G1 operate without an external feedback resistor divider?
No - the FB pin requires an external resistor divider to set output voltage. The internal 600mV reference is not directly accessible; VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R1/R2). Omitting the divider leaves FB floating, causing unregulated output and potential instability or overvoltage failure.
Does AP3417CKTR-G1 require a minimum load to maintain regulation?
No minimum load is specified. The AP3417CKTR-G1 maintains regulation from 0A to 1A output using peak-current mode control and internal compensation. Light-load efficiency is preserved via natural pulse-skipping behavior, with no external circuitry needed for zero-load operation.
Is the SOT-23-5 package of AP3417CKTR-G1 thermally adequate for 1A continuous operation at 85°C ambient?
Yes - with proper PCB layout (2-layer board, 1-in² 2oz copper pour under EP pad), θJA = 250°C/W allows ~35°C junction rise at 1A, keeping TJ well below 125°C max. Derating is unnecessary unless ambient exceeds 85°C or airflow is restricted.
