Product details
Overview
AP5002SG-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 2A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated P-channel MOSFET, PWM control up to 100% duty cycle, 500kHz fixed switching frequency, and 3.6V–20V input range. It delivers adjustable output (0.8V to VIN) with ±2% feedback voltage accuracy (0.8V typ), 90% peak efficiency, and built-in soft-start, thermal shutdown, overcurrent, and short-circuit protection - used in PC motherboard VRMs and LCD monitor power rails.
For engineers reviewing the AP5002SG-13 datasheet, AP5002SG-13 pinout, AP5002SG-13 application, or AP5002SG-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include internal PMOS RDS(ON) (70–150 mΩ), dual SW/VSS pins for EMI reduction, SOP-8L thermal resistance (θJA = 124°C/W), and MLCC-compatible compensation design requiring only 330pF + 0.1µF external capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP5002SG-13 implements a constant-frequency PWM architecture with internal 0.8V reference and error amplifier driving a P-channel switch. Its oscillator maintains 400–600kHz operation across input voltage (3.6–20V) and temperature (−20°C to +125°C), enabling stable regulation under transient load steps.
Protection logic reduces switching frequency from 500kHz to 50kHz during overcurrent or short-circuit events, while the EN pin provides precise enable/disable control (VSH = 2.0V, VSL = 0.8V) and the COMP pin supports type-II compensation with minimal external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.6V to 20V - supports AC adapter inputs and wide industrial supply rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 0A to 2A - rated continuous output with 3.5A internal switch current limit for transient headroom. |
| Feedback Voltage | 0.784V to 0.816V (typ 0.8V) - enables precise output setting via resistor divider with ±2% tolerance. |
| Switching Frequency | 400kHz to 600kHz (typ 500kHz) - balances EMI performance and inductor size (10–22µH typical). |
| RDS(ON) | 70mΩ (at VIN = 12V) - minimizes conduction loss and improves efficiency at high load currents. |
| Soft-Start Time | 3ms typical - prevents output overshoot and inrush current during power-up sequencing. |
| Quiescent Current | 3mA typ (ICCQ) - ensures low standby power in always-on systems like networking equipment. |
Pinout & Package
SOP-8L package with exposed thermal pad (dual SW pins 5&6 and dual VSS pins 7&8 internally connected to die pad); requires minimum 2oz copper PCB layout per Diodes Inc. land pattern (5.4mm × 6.0mm body, 1.27mm pitch).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB (Pin 1) | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage via resistor divider; sets regulation point at 0.8V reference. |
| EN (Pin 2) | Enable control | High (>2.0V) enables operation; low (<0.8V) disables all circuits and reduces IQ to 10µA. |
| COMP (Pin 3) | Compensation node | Connects external RC network (e.g., 330pF + 0.1µF) to stabilize control loop dynamics. |
| VCC (Pin 4) | Bias supply | Powers internal circuitry; requires local 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between VCC and VSS. |
| Output (Pin 5 & 6) | Switch output | Drives external inductor/diode; dual pins reduce trace inductance and EMI radiation. |
| VSS (Pin 7 & 8) | Power ground | Return path for IC core and switch; dual pins improve thermal dissipation and noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated P-channel MOSFET | Eliminates need for external high-side switch; RDS(ON) optimized for 12V input, 3.3V/2A output. |
| 100% duty-cycle capability | Enables dropout operation down to VOUT + VDS(ON), critical for low-VIN applications like battery-powered peripherals. |
| MLCC-compatible compensation | Supports low-ESR ceramic capacitors (e.g., 0.1µF + 330pF) instead of electrolytics, reducing board area and improving reliability. |
| Frequency foldback on fault | Reduces switching frequency from 500kHz to 50kHz during OCP/SCP, lowering power dissipation and enabling safe fault recovery. |
| SOP-8L "Green" package | Halogen-free molding compound (no Br/Sb); RoHS-compliant footprint compatible with standard reflow profiles. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2307DN-LF-Z (Monolithic Power) | 3A rating, 150kHz–500kHz adjustable frequency, N-channel sync rectification, no 100% duty cycle. | Higher current capacity but larger solution size; requires external bootstrap capacitor and gate driver. | Prefer when >2A output or adjustable frequency is required; avoid if 100% duty cycle or minimal BOM count is critical. |
| TPS54202DRCT (Texas Instruments) | 2A, 4.5–17V input, 500kHz fixed freq, integrated N-MOSFETs, 0.8V ref, no internal compensation. | Requires external compensation network; higher quiescent current (45µA vs. 3mA) but better light-load efficiency. | Prefer for ultra-low IQ battery apps; avoid if MLCC-only compensation or SOP-8L footprint compatibility is mandatory. |
Compared with MP2307DN-LF-Z and TPS54202DRCT, the AP5002SG-13 offers unique 100% duty-cycle operation and true SOP-8L pinout with dual SW/VSS for EMI-sensitive designs, while maintaining lowest external component count among 2A buck converters with internal P-MOS.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for AP5002SG-13?
The AP5002SG-13 has an absolute maximum VCC rating of VSS + 22V, with recommended operating input range specified as 3.6V to 20V. Exceeding 20V may trigger thermal shutdown or cause permanent damage due to exceeding power dissipation limits in the internal P-MOSFET.
Can AP5002SG-13 operate with 100% duty cycle, and under what conditions?
Yes - the AP5002SG-13 supports 100% duty cycle operation when the output voltage approaches VIN − VDS(ON). This occurs during low-dropout conditions (e.g., 5V input → 3.3V output), enabled by its P-channel high-side switch architecture and absence of bootstrap capacitor requirement.
How does the overcurrent protection behave during fault conditions?
When overcurrent or short-circuit is detected, the AP5002SG-13 reduces switching frequency from 500kHz to 50kHz, limiting average power dissipation and allowing safe thermal recovery. The device remains latched in this reduced-frequency mode until EN is cycled low-high or input power is removed.
Which capacitor types are validated for AP5002SG-13 output filtering?
The AP5002SG-13 is validated for both aluminum electrolytic (e.g., 470µF, low-ESR) and multilayer ceramic (e.g., 22µF X5R/X7R) output capacitors. MLCCs are preferred for compact designs due to lower ESR and superior high-frequency ripple suppression, with no stability issues reported using standard 0.1µF + 330pF compensation.
