Product details
Overview
AP3585AMPTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-phase synchronous buck PWM controller in SO-8EP package, operating from 4.5V to 13.2V input and delivering regulated output down to 0.6V (AP3585B/C variant). It integrates dual MOSFET drivers with built-in bootstrap diode, supports lossless RDS(ON)-based overcurrent protection, and features voltage-mode control with 10MHz error amplifier GBW and 6V/µs slew rate for fast transient response in DDR/SDRAM bus termination and graphics card subsystem supplies.
For engineers reviewing the AP3585AMPTR-G1 datasheet, AP3585AMPTR-G1 pinout, AP3585AMPTR-G1 application, or AP3585AMPTR-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include fixed 200kHz/300kHz oscillator frequency, programmable OCSET threshold via external resistor, start-up into pre-biased load capability, thermal shutdown at +160°C, and compatibility with standard N-channel high-side/low-side MOSFETs in compact SO-8EP layout.
Technical Context
This controller implements voltage-mode PWM control with a single feedback loop referenced to an internal 0.6V bandgap reference (AP3585B/C), enabling precise output regulation across 3.3V–12V input range. The error amplifier delivers 10MHz gain-bandwidth and 6V/µs slew rate to support high converter bandwidth and sub-100µs load transient recovery.
It embeds adaptive shoot-through protection monitored on UGATE and PHASE pins, uses LGATE/OCSET as dual-function terminal for low-side gate drive and overcurrent threshold programming, and incorporates digital soft-start with 1.5ms ramp time (AP3585B) - confirmed by DS36819 Rev. 1–2 Section 5.2.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 13.2V VCC supply; supports 3.3V–12V VIN power input for buck stage |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6V to 80% of VIN - sets minimum 0.6V rail for DDR3/DDR4 termination and memory I/O |
| Oscillator Frequency | Fixed 200kHz (AP3585C) or 300kHz (AP3585A/B) - determines switching loss vs. filter size trade-off |
| Error Amplifier GBW | 10MHz - enables >500kHz closed-loop bandwidth for <50µs 10A load step recovery |
| Overcurrent Protection | Lossless, RDS(ON)-based using LGATE/OCSET pin; programmable via external resistor (10µA source) |
| Soft-Start Time | 1.5ms (AP3585B) - prevents inrush current during power-up into pre-biased loads |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C with +20°C hysteresis - protects IC during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
AP3585AMPTR-G1 is housed in SO-8EP (exposed pad) package, where Pin 9 (exposed pad) must be soldered directly to PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation and EMI reduction. Package thermal resistance θJA is 70°C/W, enabling 1.43W power dissipation at TA = +85°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: BOOT | Bootstrap capacitor connection node | Generates floating 12V+ gate drive for high-side N-MOSFET; requires 0.1µF ceramic cap to PHASE |
| 2: UGATE | High-side MOSFET gate driver output | Drives upper switch with ±1.5A peak sink/source; monitored for adaptive shoot-through prevention |
| 3: GND | Power and signal ground reference | Low-impedance return path for all currents; exposed pad (Pin 9) must connect to same ground plane |
| 4: LGATE/OCSET | Low-side gate driver output & OC threshold input | Drives lower MOSFET gate; sets OCP trip point via external resistor (e.g., 30kΩ = ~30A limit) |
| 5: VCC | Bias supply input | Accepts 4.5–13.2V; requires local 10µF + 0.1µF bypass to GND for stable operation |
| 6: FB | Feedback input to error amplifier | Inverting input referenced to 0.6V internal VREF; used with resistor divider to set output voltage |
| 7: COMP/EN | Compensation network node & enable input | Outputs error amplifier signal; pulled low disables controller; >0.3V initiates soft-start |
| 8: PHASE | Switch node connection | Connects to source of high-side MOSFET and drain of low-side MOSFET; critical for shoot-through detection |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2238DJ-LF-Z (Monolithic Power) | Current-mode control; 500kHz switching; no integrated bootstrap diode; requires external OC sense resistor | Higher switching frequency enables smaller inductors but increases EMI filtering burden in noise-sensitive CATV systems | Select when higher frequency and current-mode stability outweigh need for reduced BOM count and RDS(ON) sensing |
| RT8205AZSP (Richtek) | Voltage-mode control; 300kHz; 0.6V reference; no pre-bias start-up; thermal shutdown at +150°C | Lacks start-up into pre-biased load - unsuitable for hot-swap or multi-rail sequenced systems | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-sequenced applications where soft-start timing and bias tolerance are not required |
Compared with MP2238DJ-LF-Z and RT8205AZSP, AP3585AMPTR-G1 uniquely combines integrated bootstrap diode, RDS(ON)-based OCP, and guaranteed pre-biased start-up - making it optimal for space-constrained, multi-rail embedded systems requiring minimal external components and robust power sequencing.

FAQ
What is the function of the LGATE/OCSET pin?
The LGATE/OCSET pin serves dual roles: it outputs the low-side MOSFET gate drive signal and accepts an external resistor to program the overcurrent protection threshold. A 10µA internal current source flows through this resistor to generate a voltage drop across the low-side MOSFET's RDS(ON), enabling lossless current sensing without a dedicated sense resistor or shunt.
Does AP3585AMPTR-G1 support start-up into a pre-biased output?
Yes - AP3585AMPTR-G1 explicitly supports start-up into pre-biased loads, as confirmed in DS36819 Section 5.2. During soft-start initiation, the controller monitors the FB pin voltage and adjusts the COMP ramp to avoid reverse current flow, ensuring safe turn-on when the output rail is already energized by another source.
How does the built-in bootstrap diode simplify design?
The integrated bootstrap diode eliminates the need for an external discrete diode between BOOT and PHASE, reducing component count, PCB area, and potential failure points. It enables reliable high-side gate drive using a single 0.1µF ceramic capacitor, simplifying layout and improving reliability in high-volume consumer and industrial power supplies.
What is the maximum duty cycle and why is it limited to 80%?
The maximum duty cycle is 80%, as specified in DS36819 Section 4. This limit ensures sufficient off-time for accurate RDS(ON)-based overcurrent detection during the low-side conduction period. Exceeding 80% would compromise OCP response time and risk undetected current faults during high-load conditions.
