Product details
Overview
AP3428KTTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.5MHz, 1A synchronous step-down DC-DC buck converter with internal high- and low-side MOSFETs (RDS(ON) = 250 mΩ / 170 mΩ), 0.6V ±2% reference voltage, 40µA no-load quiescent current, and 100% duty-cycle capability-designed for Li+/Li-polymer-powered portable electronics requiring high efficiency across light-to-heavy loads.
For engineers reviewing the AP3428KTTR-G1 datasheet, AP3428KTTR-G1 pinout, AP3428KTTR-G1 application, or AP3428KTTR-G1 equivalent, key selection considerations include input voltage range (2.5–5.5V), adjustable output (0.6V to VIN), thermal shutdown (+160°C), short-circuit hiccup protection, and TSOT25 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AP3428KTTR-G1 employs constant-frequency PWM control at 1.5MHz with internal slope compensation and cycle-by-cycle current limiting, enabling stable regulation under dynamic load transients up to 1A. Its integrated synchronous rectifier eliminates external diode losses and supports 100% duty-cycle operation for ultra-low dropout.
Functional blocks include a precision 0.6V bandgap reference, soft-start timer (2ms), undervoltage lockout (2.4V threshold with 0.1V hysteresis), and independent EN pin logic (1.5V turn-on, 0.4V shutdown) that disconnects input from output with <1µA shutdown current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz - Enables compact LC filter design with 2.2µH inductor and 10µF output capacitor. |
| Output Current | 1A continuous - Delivered with internal MOSFETs; peak inductor current limit is 1.3A. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - Supports single-cell Li+/Li-polymer, dual/multi-cell alkaline/NiMH, and USB-powered systems. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.6V ±2% - Sets output via resistor divider; enables precise 1.0V–3.3V regulation with minimal error. |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA typical - Maintains high light-load efficiency via pulse-skip mode without external bias circuitry. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - Ensures battery preservation during system sleep; EN pin fully isolates VIN from VOUT. |
| Thermal Protection | +160°C trip, +145°C recovery - Auto-restarts after junction cooling; prevents permanent damage in sealed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
AP3428KTTR-G1 is packaged in TSOT25 (3.0mm × 2.8mm × 0.9mm), a thermally enhanced 5-pin leaded surface-mount package with exposed pad (L2H marking code). Pin 1 is marked by a dot; pin 5 is GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (EN) | Enable control input | Logic-level interface: ≥1.5V enables regulation; ≤0.4V forces full shutdown with <1µA draw. |
| 2 (GND) | Power ground | Primary return path for IC bias, power switch, and feedback network; connects to thermal pad. |
| 3 (LX) | Switch node | Drain connection of internal high- and low-side MOSFETs; requires low-inductance layout to minimize EMI. |
| 4 (VIN) | Main power supply | Accepts 2.5–5.5V input; must be decoupled with ≥10µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 5 (FB) | Feedback input | Senses output via resistor divider; internal 0.6V reference sets VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R1/R2). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external compensation required | Internal Type-II compensation ensures stability with standard 2.2µH/10µF output filter-no loop tuning needed. |
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated 250mΩ/170mΩ MOSFET pair eliminates Schottky loss, achieving >90% efficiency at 500mA load (VIN=5V, VOUT=1.8V). |
| Pulse-skip light-load mode | Maintains >85% efficiency at 10mA load by reducing switching frequency while preserving regulation accuracy. |
| 100% duty-cycle operation | Supports VOUT ≈ VIN (e.g., 4.8V out from 5V input), critical for low-dropout post-regulation in battery-fed systems. |
| Robust protection suite | Combines hiccup-mode short-circuit response, thermal shutdown with hysteresis, and UVLO to prevent deep battery discharge. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2158GQZ-P | 2MHz switching, 0.6V ref, but requires external compensation; 300mΩ/200mΩ RDS(ON); no 100% duty-cycle support. | Limited to fixed-output variants; less suitable for battery-sag scenarios requiring VOUT ≈ VIN. | Choose when higher frequency allows smaller magnetics, and board space permits compensation components. |
| RT7290BZSP | 1.5MHz, 1A, 0.6V ref, but uses external MOSFETs; 45µA IQ; includes power-good flag. | Higher BOM count and layout complexity; better for designs needing PG monitoring or thermal derating flexibility. | Prefer when system-level fault reporting is mandatory, or when thermal management requires discrete FET heatsinking. |
Compared with MP2158GQZ-P and RT7290BZSP, AP3428KTTR-G1 uniquely combines no-compensation design, 100% duty-cycle operation, and TSOT25 integration-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained Li+-fed devices where simplicity and dropout resilience are critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP3428KTTR-G1 to regulate a 1.8V output?
The AP3428KTTR-G1 requires a minimum input voltage of 2.5V per its recommended operating conditions. At 1.8V output, this provides sufficient headroom for the internal MOSFETs' RDS(ON) drop and control circuitry. Operation below 2.5V triggers UVLO, halting switching until VIN rises above 2.7V (UVLO release threshold).
Can AP3428KTTR-G1 operate without an external soft-start capacitor?
Yes. The AP3428KTTR-G1 integrates a 2ms internal soft-start timer, eliminating the need for external capacitors. This ensures controlled output ramp-up, prevents inrush current into downstream capacitance, and avoids false triggering of system reset circuits during power-on.
How does the hiccup-mode short-circuit protection behave during sustained overload?
When FB falls below 0.42V due to output short, the AP3428KTTR-G1 enters hiccup mode: it disables switching for ~20ms, then attempts restart. If the short persists, it repeats the cycle. This limits average power dissipation to safe levels (<100mW) and prevents thermal damage without requiring manual reset.
Is the TSOT25 package of AP3428KTTR-G1 compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes. The TSOT25 package is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 (MSL3) per J-STD-020 and qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C). Its tin-plated leads meet MIL-STD-202 solderability requirements, and the recommended pad layout (C=0.95mm, X=0.70mm, Y=1.00mm) ensures reliable solder joint formation.
