Product details
Overview
AP3983DP7-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a high-frequency primary-side controlled power switcher IC with integrated 650V N-channel MOSFET, designed for offline flyback SMPS in 18W adapters. It delivers ±2% output voltage accuracy via auxiliary winding feedback, supports piece-wise PFM control in DCM, and includes built-in cable drop compensation (6.00% typical), line voltage compensation (230Ω internal resistor), and hiccup-mode short-circuit protection. Used in compact 5V/3.6A or 12V/1.5A AC-DC adapters for consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the AP3983DP7-G1 datasheet, AP3983DP7-G1 pinout, AP3983DP7-G1 application, or AP3983DP7-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include primary-side regulation capability, 650V MOSFET BVDSS rating, 4A continuous drain current, PDIP-7 thermal performance (θJA = 70°C/W), and dithering-enabled EMC compliance in low-component-count adapter designs.
Technical Context
The AP3983DP7-G1 implements primary-side constant-voltage (CV) and constant-current (CC) regulation without optocouplers by sampling auxiliary winding voltage at the FB pin and sensing primary peak current via the CS pin. Its p-PFM control reduces switching frequency linearly from full to light load while maintaining stable regulation across 90–264VAC input.
It integrates a 650V/4A MOSFET with RDS(ON) ≤3Ω, features 500ns leading-edge blanking on CS, and uses internal timing circuits to enforce tONS/tSW ratio of 4:8 in CC mode. The CPC pin enables fixed 0.3V cable compensation using an external 10nF capacitor, and VFB reference is trimmed to 3.95V ±0.06V for tight CV accuracy.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| BVDSS | 650V - Withstands up to 650V drain-source breakdown, enabling direct connection to 264VAC rectified input without external snubber. |
| ID (Continuous) | 4A - Supports up to 18W continuous output power in non-ventilated enclosed adapters at +50°C ambient. |
| fS(MAX) | 80kHz - Maximum operating frequency ensures small transformer size and EMI control; dithered ±7% over load range. |
| VFB Reference | 3.95V ±0.06V - Enables ±2% output voltage regulation without secondary-side feedback components. |
| Cable Compensation | 6.00% typical - Compensates for voltage drop across USB/DC cables under full-load conditions, preserving regulated output at load end. |
| Thermal Impedance θJA | 70°C/W - Achieved in PDIP-7 package on standard FR-4 board, allowing reliable operation up to +105°C ambient. |
| Start-up Current | 0.2µA typical - Enables ultra-low-power start-up directly from bulk capacitor, reducing no-load consumption. |
Pinout & Package
Packaged in PDIP-7 (Plastic Dual In-line Package, 7-pin), the AP3983DP7-G1 features through-hole mounting with 2.54mm pin pitch and 7.32mm body width. Thermal resistance θJC = 35°C/W supports efficient heat transfer to PCB copper pour.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (CPC) | Cable compensation capacitor terminal | Connects external 10nF capacitor to GND to smooth compensation signal; enables fixed 0.3V output voltage offset for cable loss correction. |
| 2 (FB) | Auxiliary winding feedback input | Samples reflected voltage from transformer auxiliary winding to regulate output voltage without optocoupler or TL431. |
| 3 (VCC) | Internal bias supply input | Receives rectified auxiliary winding voltage to power internal circuitry; UVLO turns device off below 6.8V and on above 15.5V. |
| 4 (CS) | Primary current sense input | Monitors voltage across external sense resistor to detect peak primary current; triggers MOSFET turn-off at 900mV threshold. |
| 5,6 (D) | Integrated MOSFET drain terminals | Dual-drain pins reduce conduction losses and improve thermal spreading; connected internally to 650V/4A N-channel MOSFET. |
| 7 (GND) | Signal reference ground | Common return path for FB, CS, CPC, and internal regulator; must be routed with low impedance to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Primary-side regulation | Eliminates optocoupler, TL431, and secondary-side feedback network-reducing BOM count by ≥4 components and PCB area by >30%. |
| Frequency dithering | 7% modulation depth across 5–100% load range lowers peak EMI amplitude by spreading energy over wider spectrum bandwidth. |
| Hiccup-mode SCP | Enters low-duty-cycle restart cycle upon short-circuit detection (VFB ≤1.5V), limiting average power dissipation to <100mW during fault. |
| Line voltage compensation | 230Ω internal resistor adjusts CV reference vs. input voltage, maintaining ±3% output regulation across 90–264VAC input range. |
| Low start-up current | 0.2µA enables direct start-up from bulk capacitor without auxiliary winding or startup resistor-reducing no-load power to <30mW. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output power supported by AP3983DP7-G1?
The AP3983DP7-G1 supports up to 18W continuous output power in a non-ventilated enclosed adapter at +50°C ambient temperature, as validated per Diodes' DS36784 Rev. 5–3 test conditions. This rating assumes use of PDIP-7 package, proper PCB copper pour, and operation within recommended junction temperature limits (–40°C to +105°C).
Does AP3983DP7-G1 require an external optocoupler for regulation?
No. The AP3983DP7-G1 performs primary-side regulation by sampling voltage from the transformer's auxiliary winding at the FB pin, eliminating the need for an optocoupler, TL431, or secondary-side feedback circuit. This reduces component count, improves reliability, and simplifies layout in compact adapter designs.
How does the built-in cable compensation function work?
The CPC pin connects to an external 10nF capacitor to ground, enabling fixed 0.3V compensation offset. Combined with internal circuitry, this achieves 6.00% typical cable voltage drop compensation-adjusting the FB reference to maintain regulated output voltage at the load end despite IR drop across USB or DC cables under full-load conditions.
What protection features are integrated into AP3983DP7-G1?
The AP3983DP7-G1 integrates over-voltage protection (OVP) triggering at 7.5V FB voltage, hiccup-mode short-circuit protection (SCP) activating at 1.5V FB, over-temperature protection (OTP) shutting down at +160°C with +40°C hysteresis, and leading-edge blanking (500ns) on the CS pin to prevent false current-sense triggering during MOSFET turn-on spikes.
