Product details

Overview

AP6015-25M10G-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a high-efficiency synchronous step-down DC-DC converter delivering fixed 2.5V output at up to 800mA, operating from 2.5V–5.5V input, featuring 1MHz switching frequency, 94% peak efficiency, and integrated N-/P-channel MOSFETs in MSOP-10L package - deployed in portable media players and USB-based DSL modems.

For engineers reviewing the AP6015-25M10G-13 datasheet, AP6015-25M10G-13 pinout, AP6015-25M10G-13 application, or AP6015-25M10G-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include fixed 2.5V output accuracy (±3%), 1μA shutdown current, power-good open-drain output with 92% V_OUT threshold, and thermal resistance (θ_JA = 161°C/W) for compact battery-powered designs.

Technical Context

The AP6015-25M10G-13 implements current-mode PWM control with internal soft-start (1ms typical), enabling fast transient response and stable loop behavior across load steps from 10mA to 800mA. Its 1MHz oscillator allows use of small 3.3μH inductors and 10μF ceramic capacitors, minimizing PCB footprint.

It integrates dual MOSFETs (R_DS(on) ≤ 410mΩ each), supports UVLO (1.6V typ.), and provides an open-drain PG output that asserts when V_OUT exceeds 92% of nominal - all operating over –40°C to +85°C ambient with junction temperature up to +125°C.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Output Voltage	Fixed 2.5V ±3% over full load/temperature range - ensures stable core voltage for 2.5V logic rails.
Max Output Current	800mA continuous - sufficient for powering baseband processors or WLAN modules in handheld devices.
Input Voltage Range	2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) and dual/triple alkaline/NiMH batteries.
Switching Frequency	1MHz (800–1200kHz) - enables compact magnetics and low-profile 10μF MLCC input/output filtering.
Quiescent Current	150μA typical - extends battery life in always-on subsystems without compromising startup speed.
Shutdown Current	≤1μA - critical for zero-power standby in portable electronics requiring long shelf life.
Efficiency	94% at 5V_IN/2.5V_OUT/300mA - reduces thermal load and improves runtime versus asynchronous alternatives.
Power-Good Threshold	92% of nominal V_OUT with 2.5% hysteresis - provides reliable system reset signaling without external comparators.

Pinout & Package

AP6015-25M10G-13 is housed in a thermally enhanced MSOP-10L package (4.8mm × 3.0mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad (PGND-connected) and RoHS-compliant "Green" molding compound.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
PVCC (1)	Primary power input	Supplies main switch driver; requires local 10μF ceramic capacitor to minimize input ripple and EMI.
VCC (2)	Bias supply bypass	Internal LDO input; must be decoupled with 1μF capacitor adjacent to pin for stable gate drive.
GND (3)	Analog ground reference	Reference for FB, CC, and error amplifier; separated from PGND in layout to reduce noise coupling.
PG (4)	Open-drain power-good indicator	Sinks 10μA min at 0.3V; requires external pull-up to V_OUT for system sequencing and fault monitoring.
FB (5)	Feedback sense (fixed mode)	Internally connected to 2.5V divider; unused in fixed-output variants but must remain unconnected per datasheet.
CC (6)	Compensation network node	Connects external RC (e.g., 68kΩ + 100pF) to stabilize control loop across line/load transients.
NC (7)	No-connect terminal	Not bonded; must be left floating - no routing or copper fill permitted on PCB land pattern.
EN (8)	Enable control input	Active-high logic; VIH ≥ 2.5V (for VIN > 3V); drives device into 1μA shutdown when pulled low.
LX (9)	Switching node	Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt current - requires short, wide trace and tight loop with PGND.
PGND (10)	Power ground return	High-current return path for both MOSFETs; tied to thermal pad and isolated from analog GND at single point.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Synchronous rectification	Integrated N- and P-channel MOSFETs eliminate external catch diode, reducing BOM count and improving light-load efficiency.
Current-mode PWM control	Enables cycle-by-cycle current limiting and inherent line/load regulation - simplifies compensation design for wide input ranges.
Internal soft-start	1ms typical ramp prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up, eliminating need for external timing components.
Power-good (PG) output	Open-drain comparator with precise 92% V_OUT activation threshold and 2.5% hysteresis - enables reliable system power sequencing.
UVLO protection	1.6V typical under-voltage lockout prevents erratic operation during brown-out conditions, ensuring clean start-up above valid rail.
Thermal shutdown	Activates at T_J ≥ 150°C and auto-recovers - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in sealed enclosures.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output synchronous buck converter applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
TPS62231DRYR (TI)	2.5V fixed, 800mA, 3MHz switching, 17μA IQ - higher frequency but lower light-load efficiency.	Requires smaller inductor (1.0μH) but demands tighter layout due to faster edges; less tolerant of input ripple.	Select when board area is constrained and input source is well-regulated; avoid if battery life is primary concern.
RT8059GJ6 (Richtek)	2.5V fixed, 600mA, 1.5MHz, 25μA IQ - lower max current and no PG output.	Lacks power-good signaling and thermal shutdown; limited to non-critical subsystems without supervision.	Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-power peripherals where system-level monitoring replaces PG functionality.

Compared with TPS62231DRYR and RT8059GJ6, the AP6015-25M10G-13 delivers superior battery runtime via ultra-low 150μA quiescent current and robust system control with integrated PG and thermal protection - making it optimal for supervised portable applications demanding reliability and longevity.

FAQ

What is the recommended input capacitor for AP6015-25M10G-13?

A minimum 10μF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor must be placed between PVCC and GND, located as close as possible to the PVCC pin. This value ensures adequate high-frequency decoupling and minimizes input voltage ripple during switching transitions. For systems with noisy sources, adding a 1μF capacitor in parallel improves stability.

Can AP6015-25M10G-13 be used in adjustable-output configurations?

No - AP6015-25M10G-13 is factory-configured for fixed 2.5V output. The FB pin is internally connected to the feedback divider and must remain unconnected. To implement adjustable output, the AP6015-ADJM10G-13 variant must be selected, which exposes FB for external resistor programming.

How does the power-good (PG) output behave during startup and shutdown?

PG remains high-impedance for the first 100μs after EN goes high, then asserts low when V_OUT reaches ≥92% of 2.5V. During shutdown (EN low), PG enters high-impedance state - no pull-up is required unless used for sequencing, in which case a 100kΩ resistor to V_OUT is typical.

Is thermal derating required for continuous 800mA operation?

At 85°C ambient with standard 2oz copper PCB and recommended pad layout, θ_JA = 161°C/W limits junction temperature rise to ~129°C (85°C + 800mA² × 0.41Ω × 161°C/W), exceeding the 125°C max operating limit. Derating to ≤600mA or enhancing heatsinking (thermal vias, larger copper) is required for full-load operation at high ambient.
