Product details
Overview
AP4340SNTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a dynamic primary-side regulation (PSR) accelerator IC designed for 5V-output flyback chargers and adapters. It functions as an output voltage detector with fast wake-up signaling, featuring 4.73V trigger voltage, 5.3V discharge voltage, 2.2mA discharge current, and operates in SOT23 package with 15μA typical operating current.
For engineers reviewing the AP4340SNTR-G1 datasheet, AP4340SNTR-G1 pinout, AP4340SNTR-G1 application, or AP4340SNTR-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include secondary-side voltage detection threshold accuracy, low-quiescent-current wake-up signaling capability, transformer-coupled control interface compatibility, and green-mode standby power optimization.
Technical Context
The AP4340SNTR-G1 implements a comparator-based voltage detection architecture that monitors secondary-side output voltage via auxiliary winding feedback. It generates periodic wake-up pulses when VOUT falls below 4.73V and activates a 2.2mA discharge path when VOUT exceeds 5.3V.
Its 3.1V power-on threshold and 5μA startup current enable reliable operation under light-load conditions. The device interfaces directly with PSR controllers such as AP3306 or AP3308, eliminating optocoupler and TL431 in conventional feedback loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Max | 5.5V - Absolute maximum supply voltage; defines upper limit of auxiliary winding bias rail. |
| Power-on Voltage | 3.1V - Minimum VCC required to initiate internal circuitry; ensures stable start-up at low auxiliary voltage. |
| Trigger Voltage | 4.73V - Output voltage threshold below which wake-up pulses are generated; sets 5V system undervoltage detection point. |
| Discharge Voltage | 5.3V - Output voltage threshold above which 2.2mA discharge path activates; prevents overvoltage during transient recovery. |
| Operating Current | 15μA - Typical quiescent current during active monitoring; enables sub-30mW standby power compliance. |
| VOVP | 5.78V - Overvoltage protection trip point; provides secondary-side fault safeguard independent of primary controller. |
| Package | SOT23 - 3-pin surface-mount package; supports high-density PCB layout and automated assembly. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package with gull-wing leads, 1.3mm pitch, and thermal pad not present. Standard pin assignment verified per Diodes Inc. datasheet AP4340S.pdf (Rev. 001, April 2015).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Supply input | Bias voltage sourced from transformer auxiliary winding; powers internal comparator and logic. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for internal circuitry and discharge current sink. |
| OUT | Open-drain output | Drives transformer-coupled wake-up signal or discharge path; requires external pull-up on primary side. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components required | Integrates precision voltage reference, comparator, and discharge transistor - eliminates discrete TL431 + optocoupler feedback network. |
| Low standby power support | 15μA operating current enables <30mW no-load power consumption in 5V/1A charger designs. |
| Fast transient response | Sub-10μs wake-up pulse generation upon output droop improves PSR load-step recovery by >40% vs. conventional solutions. |
| Integrated overvoltage protection | 5.78V VOVP with 170mA current limit provides autonomous secondary-side fault shutdown without primary controller intervention. |
Applications
| Smartphone Charger | USB-C Wall Adapter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 5V/1A flyback charger operating in deep-sleep mode between device charging cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side voltage detector and wake-up signal generator coupled via transformer to primary controller. Use Value: Reduces no-load power to <25mW while maintaining <100ms wake-up latency after load connection. | Use Scenario: Compact 5V USB-C adapter requiring rapid load detection and minimal BOM count. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone PSR accelerator enabling optocoupler-free feedback with precise 4.73V undervoltage trigger. Use Value: Eliminates 4–5 passive components and reduces PCB area by 12mm² versus TL431+opto solution. |
| Wireless Earbud Case Charger | IoT Sensor Power Supply |
Use Scenario: Low-power charging circuit for TWS earbud case with intermittent 5V load demand. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side voltage monitor triggering primary controller wake-up only when battery voltage drops below 4.73V. Use Value: Extends system standby time by suppressing unnecessary primary-side switching during idle periods. | Use Scenario: Always-on 5V power supply for battery-backed environmental sensor node. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Autonomous overvoltage protector (5.78V trip) and discharge initiator (5.3V threshold) for secondary winding. Use Value: Prevents capacitor over-stress during line surges without relying on primary-side OVP response time. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PSR acceleration applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP4330SNTR-G1 | Higher 5.0V trigger voltage; 20μA operating current; no integrated discharge function. | Limited to wake-up-only use cases; requires external discharge circuit for overvoltage handling. | Select when only undervoltage wake-up is needed and board space permits external MOSFET discharge path. |
| UCC28911DR | Integrated primary-side controller with PSR; 700V HV start-up; no secondary-side voltage sensing. | Replaces entire primary controller + feedback chain; not a drop-in replacement for AP4340S. | Choose for new designs where full PSR integration is preferred over hybrid primary/secondary architecture. |
Compared with AP4340SNTR-G1, AP4330SNTR-G1 lacks discharge capability and has higher trigger voltage, limiting its use in tight 5V regulation; UCC28911DR shifts control entirely to primary side, removing secondary sensing but increasing design complexity for legacy PSR systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the OUT pin on AP4340SNTR-G1?
The OUT pin is an open-drain output that drives transformer-coupled wake-up signals to the primary-side controller when output voltage drops below 4.73V, and simultaneously sinks 2.2mA to discharge the output capacitor when voltage exceeds 5.3V. It requires an external pull-up resistor on the primary side for proper signal coupling.
Can AP4340SNTR-G1 operate without an auxiliary winding?
No. The AP4340SNTR-G1 requires a dedicated auxiliary winding to supply its VCC pin with regulated bias voltage. It cannot derive power from the main output or primary-side HV rail. The auxiliary winding must deliver ≥3.1V to ensure reliable power-on and continuous monitoring.
How does AP4340SNTR-G1 reduce no-load power consumption?
By drawing only 15μA operating current and eliminating the 1–2mA quiescent current of a TL431 + optocoupler feedback network, the AP4340SNTR-G1 reduces total secondary-side bias loss. This enables compliant <30mW no-load power in 5V/1A chargers meeting DOE Level VI and CoC Tier 2 standards.
Is AP4340SNTR-G1 compatible with all primary-side controllers?
It is validated with Diodes' AP3306 and AP3308 PSR controllers, and functionally compatible with any primary controller accepting transformer-coupled wake-up pulses and supporting external discharge signaling. Timing parameters (pulse width, frequency) must be verified against the target controller's wake-up sensitivity specification.
