Product details
Overview
AP4373AW5-7-01 from Diodes Incorporated is a secondary-side Qualcomm QC2.0 protocol decoder and opto-coupler driver IC for AC/DC fast-charging adapters. It decodes D+/D− handshake signals (5V/9V), drives OCDRV to control primary-side AP3792, provides safe-discharge of output capacitors, and delivers ≤250 μA operating current in SOT25 package. Used in USB wall chargers requiring QC2.0 compliance.
For engineers reviewing the AP4373AW5-7-01 datasheet, AP4373AW5-7-01 pinout, AP4373AW5-7-01 application, or AP4373AW5-7-01 equivalent, key selection criteria include QC2.0 protocol decoding accuracy, OCDRV drive capability (6–10 mA), VCC operating range (4.5–9 V), D+/D− leakage resistance (300–800 kΩ), and integrated OVP thresholds (5.65–6.05 V at 5V mode).
Technical Context
The AP4373AW5-7-01 implements a dual-path QC2.0 decoder with dedicated D+/D− input comparators referenced to VDAT_REF (0.25–0.40 V) and VSEL_REF (1.8–2.2 V), plus glitch filtering (tGLITCH_DM_LOW: 1–4 ms). Its internal oscillator and timer coordinate handshake timing, including D+/D− short detection (≤20 ms) and dynamic voltage switching.
It integrates a regulated VCC bias (startup at 3.5–4.1 V), OCDRV LED driver with 6–10 mA sink capability, and dual-protection logic: output OVP (5.65–6.05 V / 10–10.8 V) and D+/D− line OVP (4.1–4.7 V each), all with 80–120 ms debounce.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Operating Range | 4.5 V to 9 V - powers internal logic and OCDRV driver without external LDO |
| OCDRV Output Current | 6–10 mA - directly drives opto-coupler LED for reliable signal transfer to primary controller |
| QC2.0 Trigger Voltages | VTRI_5V = 5.06 V typ, VTRI_9V = 8.75 V typ - defines precise transition points between 5V/9V output modes |
| D+/D− Leakage Resistance | 300–800 kΩ - ensures stable bus idle state and prevents false handshake triggering |
| OVP Thresholds | VOVP_5V = 5.65–6.05 V, VOVP_D+ = 4.1–4.7 V - protects downstream devices from overvoltage during fault or misconfiguration |
| Safe-Discharge Current | IDIS = 4–8 mA - actively discharges output caps within ≤10 ms after unplug to meet safety standards |
| Operating Current | ICC_OPR = 150–250 μA - enables ultra-low no-load power consumption in adapter standby mode |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin, 2.82 × 1.50 × 1.00 mm) surface-mount package with exposed pad thermal path (θJA = 180 °C/W), MSL Level 3, matte tin-plated leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OCDRV | Opto-coupler LED driver output | Sinks up to 10 mA to modulate primary-side feedback via opto-isolator |
| 2 - GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for internal regulators, comparators, and discharge circuitry |
| 3 - VCC | Power supply input | Accepts 4.5–9 V; powers internal bias, decoder, and driver stages |
| 4 - D− | USB data line (negative) | Connected to D− bus; monitored for QC2.0 handshake and OVP detection |
| 5 - D+ | USB data line (positive) | Connected to D+ bus; used with D− for voltage-level decoding and short detection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| QC2.0 Protocol Decoder | Hardware-based D+/D− voltage comparison with tGLITCH_DM_LOW (1–4 ms) filtering for robust handshake under noise |
| Integrated Opto-LED Driver | OCDRV pin delivers 6–10 mA sink current - eliminates external transistor and reduces BOM count |
| Output Capacitor Discharge | Active 4–8 mA discharge path triggered on unplug - meets IEC/UL 62368-1 capacitor energy safety requirements |
| D+/D− Overvoltage Protection | Independent 4.1–4.7 V clamping on both lines - prevents damage from ESD or bus transients |
| No-Load Power Optimization | VTRI_5V/VTRI_9V thresholds enable periodic OCDRV pulsing at ultralight load - maintains regulation below 10 mW |
Applications
| Smartphone Fast Charging Adapter | Tablet Wall Charger |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: 5V/9V QC2.0-compliant AC/DC adapter for smartphones with dynamic voltage negotiation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side protocol decoder and opto-coupler driver coordinating with AP3792 primary controller.

Use Value: Integrates OVP (5.65–6.05 V), D+/D− OVP (4.1–4.7 V), and safe-discharge (≤10 ms) in one SOT25 device. |
| USB-C PD Legacy Negotiation Bridge | Multi-Port Travel Adapter |
|
Use Scenario: Dual-port adapter supporting QC2.0 on one port and legacy 5V charging on another. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dedicated QC2.0 decoder per port - uses independent D+/D− inputs and OCDRV outputs. Use Value: Supports simultaneous 5V/9V negotiation with tD+_D-_SHORT ≤20 ms and VOTG_SESS_VLD (0.8–4.0 V) startup window. |
Use Scenario: 3-in-1 travel adapter with QC2.0, BC1.2, and fixed 5V outputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side supervisor - manages mode selection, OVP response, and unplug discharge across shared output rails.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar QC2.0 secondary-side controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP4373B | Revised version with updated QC2.0 timing margins and tighter VTRI tolerance (±1.2% vs ±2.4%) | Same SOT25 footprint and pinout; supports identical AP3792 interface and D+/D− protocols | Select for new designs requiring improved handshake reliability under wide temperature and voltage variation |
| MP6312DS | Single-chip QC2.0 + BC1.2 + Apple 2.4A support; higher integration but requires external opto-driver transistor | Broader protocol coverage but larger solution size and higher BOM cost due to external components | Choose when multi-standard compatibility (not QC2.0-only) is required and PCB area allows for added passives |
Compared with AP4373B, the AP4373AW5-7-01 offers proven timing behavior for legacy QC2.0 implementations but lacks tightened trigger tolerances; versus MP6312DS, it delivers lower system cost and smaller footprint for QC2.0-only applications, though without BC1.2 or Apple charging support.

FAQ
Is AP4373AW5-7-01 still in active production?
No - Diodes Incorporated has officially discontinued the AP4373A series. AP4373AW5-7-01 is obsolete and not recommended for new designs. Aetrix Electronics holds limited legacy stock for replacement and repair use only, with no future replenishment planned.
Can AP4373AW5-7-01 be used with non-Diodes primary controllers?
Yes - the OCDRV pin provides standard opto-coupler LED drive (6–10 mA), compatible with any primary-side controller accepting opto-feedback (e.g., ON Semiconductor NCP1252, TI UCC28730). However, full QC2.0 handshake timing and protection coordination are validated only with AP3792.
What is the function of the OCDRV pin during no-load conditions?
During no-load, AP4373AW5-7-01 pulses OCDRV with periodic current (6–10 mA) based on VTRI_5V/VTRI_9V thresholds. This generates corresponding pulses on the primary-side DET pin via opto-coupler, enabling burst-mode operation and maintaining regulation below 10 mW no-load power.
Does AP4373AW5-7-01 support QC3.0 or USB PD?
No - AP4373AW5-7-01 implements only Qualcomm QC2.0 protocol decoding (5V/9V fixed voltages). It does not support variable-step voltage negotiation (QC3.0), USB Power Delivery communication (SOP packets), or programmable power supply (PPS) profiles.
