Product details
Overview
AP5724WUG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a white LED step-up DC/DC converter with integrated 0.95 Ω MOSFET, 1.2 MHz fixed-frequency switching, 0.1 V feedback reference, and overvoltage protection. It drives 2–6 series white LEDs from a 2.7–5.5 V Li-ion input and supports parallel-string configurations via single feedback. Used in portable backlighting for handheld displays.
For engineers reviewing the AP5724WUG-7 datasheet, AP5724WUG-7 pinout, AP5724WUG-7 application, or AP5724WUG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include constant-current accuracy (±10% over temp), OVP threshold (30 V typ), thermal shutdown at 150°C, and TSOT26 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AP5724WUG-7 implements a current-mode boost architecture with internal 1.2 MHz oscillator, ramp generator, and comparator-based control loop. Its 0.1 V feedback reference minimizes I²R loss in RSET while enabling precise LED current regulation independent of forward voltage variation across strings.
Protection logic includes under-voltage lockout (2.3 V typ), overvoltage detection (30 V at OVP pin), thermal shutdown (150°C), and cycle-by-cycle current limiting (750 mA). Soft-start prevents inrush current during startup, and EN pin enables direct PWM dimming control below 2 kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 1.2 MHz - Enables use of compact 22 µH inductors and 1 µF ceramic capacitors. |
| Feedback Voltage | 0.1 V ±10 mV - Sets LED current via RSET = 0.1 V / ILED; reduces power loss in current-sense resistor. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - Matches single-cell Li-ion battery discharge profile (fully supports 3.0–4.2 V operating window). |
| OVP Threshold | 30 V typ - Protects SW and OVP pins during open-circuit LED failure; clamps output before exceeding 34 V absolute max. |
| MOSFET RDS(on) | 0.95 Ω typ - Limits conduction loss at peak switch current; supports ≥750 mA current limit without external FET. |
| Quiescent Current | 500 µA typ - Minimizes battery drain in standby; drops to 0.1 µA in shutdown mode (EN < 0.4 V). |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.3 V typ with 85 mV hysteresis - Prevents erratic operation during battery brownout; ensures clean restart above 2.385 V. |
Pinout & Package
AP5724WUG-7 uses the TSOT26 (Thin Small Outline Transistor, 6-pin) package: 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm × 0.9 mm body, 0.95 mm pitch, exposed pad for thermal dissipation. Pin 1 marked by beveled corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW | Power Switch Node | Connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode; high dv/dt node requiring minimal trace area to reduce EMI. |
| VIN | Input Supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V; requires local 1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor to suppress input ripple and noise. |
| OVP | Overvoltage Sense Input | Monitors output via resistive divider; triggers shutdown when voltage exceeds 30 V (typ) to protect SW pin. |
| FB | Current-Sense Feedback | 0.1 V reference node; connects to cathode of lowest LED + RSET; bias current ≤100 nA ensures accuracy. |
| EN | Enable Control | Active-high logic input (1.5 V min); must not float-tie to VIN for automatic startup or drive with PWM for dimming. |
| GND | Power Ground | Primary return path for switch current and feedback; connect to exposed pad for optimal thermal performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High Efficiency | 84% typical at 25 mA output - Achieved via low RDS(on), 1.2 MHz switching, and 0.1 V FB reference minimizing sense loss. |
| Integrated Protections | UVLO, OVP, thermal shutdown, and cycle-by-cycle current limit - Eliminates need for external fault management circuitry. |
| Soft-Start Function | Internal ramp limits inrush current during startup - Prevents input voltage sag and output overshoot on power-up. |
| Green Packaging | Halogen- and antimony-free molding compound; lead-free RoHS-compliant finish - Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. |
| Compact Footprint | TSOT26 package (2.9 × 2.8 mm) - Enables integration into space-constrained portable devices like GPS receivers and MP3 players. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar white LED boost driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP3606W6-7 | Higher 1.5 MHz switching frequency; 0.2 V FB reference; no OVP pin. | Lacks dedicated overvoltage protection; requires external OVP circuit for open-circuit LED safety. | Prefer when board space is tighter and OVP can be implemented externally. |
| AL8862SP-7 | Adjustable 100–2000 kHz frequency; 0.25 V FB; integrated high-side current sense. | Supports analog dimming only; no EN pin for PWM control; larger SO-8 package. | Choose when variable frequency is needed to avoid EMI bands or when higher current (>30 mA) is required. |
Compared with AP3606W6-7 and AL8862SP-7, the AP5724WUG-7 uniquely combines integrated OVP, ultra-low 0.1 V FB, and TSOT26 footprint-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, safety-critical portable backlighting where reliability and layout simplicity are prioritized over programmability.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of white LEDs the AP5724WUG-7 can drive in series?
The AP5724WUG-7 is rated to drive 2–6 white LEDs in series from a 3.6 V input, assuming typical VF of 3.2 V per LED (19.2 V max output). With 22 µH inductor and 30 V OVP threshold, six LEDs represent the practical limit for safe operation within absolute maximum ratings.
Can the AP5724WUG-7 support analog dimming without PWM?
Yes-the EN pin accepts a variable DC voltage (0–2 V) to linearly adjust LED current from 0 to full scale. As shown in Figure 3 of the datasheet, a resistor network (R2 = 5 kΩ, R3 = 100 kΩ) converts VDC into reduced FB voltage, enabling smooth analog dimming without flicker or EMI concerns.
Does the AP5724WUG-7 require an external Schottky diode?
Yes-an external Schottky diode is mandatory. The AP5724WUG-7 integrates only the power MOSFET (SW pin), not the flyback diode. Recommended parts include B0540WS (40 V/0.5 A, SOD323) or SDM20U40 (40 V/0.25 A, SOD523), selected for low VF and minimal capacitance at 1.2 MHz.
How does the OVP function protect the AP5724WUG-7 during LED open-circuit failure?
During open-circuit failure, FB voltage drops to 0 V, causing the controller to increase duty cycle until output rises. When the divided output voltage at the OVP pin reaches 30 V (typ), the internal comparator disables the SW driver, halting switching and clamping output to prevent SW pin overvoltage beyond its 34 V absolute maximum rating.
