Product details
Overview
AP6015-M10G-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a high-efficiency synchronous step-down DC-DC converter in MSOP-10L package, delivering up to 800mA output current with 94% peak efficiency at 5V input/3.3V output. It operates from 2.5V–5.5V input, supports adjustable (0.8V–VIN) or fixed 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V outputs, and features 1MHz switching frequency for compact external components. Designed for battery-powered portable electronics including USB-based DSL modems and digital cameras.
For engineers reviewing the AP6015-M10G-13 datasheet, AP6015-M10G-13 pinout, AP6015-M10G-13 application, or AP6015-M10G-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150μA quiescent current, 1μA shutdown current, internal soft-start, power-good open-drain output, and integrated N-/P-channel MOSFETs enabling minimal BOM count in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The AP6015 employs current-mode PWM control with a 1MHz oscillator, enabling fast transient response and stable loop behavior across load and line variations. Its internal error amplifier compares FB voltage against a precise 0.8V reference, while the CC compensation pin allows external loop tuning for varied output capacitor ESR and load conditions.
It integrates synchronous rectification using matched N- and P-channel MOSFETs (RDS(on) typ. 280mΩ each), eliminating external diode losses. UVLO triggers at 1.6V (typ.), and the PG output asserts when VOUT exceeds 92% of nominal value-both critical for system power sequencing and fault monitoring.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) and dual/triple alkaline/NiMH (2.4–4.5V) battery inputs. |
| Output Voltage Options | Fixed 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V or adjustable 0.8V–VIN - enables direct replacement of LDOs with higher efficiency in low-power rails. |
| Max Output Current | 800mA - sufficient for powering core logic, RF modules, or sensor subsystems in portable devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 1MHz (800–1200kHz) - permits use of small 1.8–3.3μH inductors and 10μF ceramic capacitors, minimizing PCB area. |
| Quiescent Current | 150μA (typ.) - extends battery life in always-on or low-duty-cycle applications like remote sensors or standby peripherals. |
| Shutdown Current | 1μA (typ.) - ensures negligible drain during deep sleep modes in handheld and IoT edge devices. |
| Efficiency | 94% (typ. at 5V→3.3V/300mA) - reduces thermal load and improves energy utilization versus asynchronous buck converters. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.8V ±2% - provides tight output regulation accuracy for precision analog or mixed-signal circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
AP6015-M10G-13 is housed in a thermally enhanced MSOP-10L package (3.0mm × 4.9mm × 1.1mm height) with exposed thermal pad (PGND-connected) for improved heat dissipation in high-current operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PVCC (Pin 1) | Main power input | Supplies high-side P-MOSFET and internal bias; requires local 10μF input capacitor for ripple suppression. |
| VCC (Pin 2) | Bias supply bypass | Provides clean gate drive and control logic power; must be decoupled with 1μF capacitor near pin. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Analog ground reference | Reference for feedback amplifier and internal bandgap; isolated from PGND in layout to minimize noise coupling. |
| PG (Pin 4) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Signals valid output after soft-start; requires external pull-up for system reset or enable sequencing. |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback input | Connects to resistor divider for adjustable output; tied internally to 0.8V reference for fixed-output variants. |
| CC (Pin 6) | Compensation node | External RC network sets loop bandwidth and phase margin; critical for stability with varying output capacitance. |
| NC (Pin 7) | No connect | Unbonded pin; must remain floating per datasheet to avoid parasitic coupling or latch-up risk. |
| EN (Pin 8) | Enable control input | Active-high logic; drives device into 1μA shutdown when pulled low, enabling dynamic power gating. |
| LX (Pin 9) | Switching node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt current; requires short, wide trace to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
| PGND (Pin 10) | Power ground return | High-current return path for both MOSFETs; must be connected to thermal pad and routed separately from AGND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated N- and P-channel MOSFETs eliminate external Schottky loss, improving efficiency by ~8–12% vs. asynchronous designs. |
| 1MHz fixed-frequency PWM | Enables consistent EMI profile and predictable filter design; avoids audible noise and simplifies compliance testing. |
| Internal soft-start (1ms typical) | Prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up, protecting downstream loads and input source. |
| Power-good (PG) open-drain output | Provides system-level power sequencing feedback without additional supervisor ICs, reducing component count. |
| UVLO with 1.6V threshold | Ensures reliable startup only when input rail is sufficiently charged, preventing erratic operation during battery sag. |
| Green MSOP-10L package | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant molding compound meets environmental requirements for consumer and industrial shipments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYR (TI) | 3MHz switching, 600mA max, 17μA IQ, WSON-6 package | Higher frequency enables smaller passives but lower current rating; no PG output or CC pin for loop tuning | Select when ultra-low IQ and minimal footprint outweigh need for PG signaling and fine-tuned stability. |
| RT8059ZSP (Richtek) | 2MHz, 800mA, 25μA IQ, SOT-23-6 package, no PG or CC pins | Lacks power-good reporting and external compensation; simpler layout but less flexible for noisy environments | Choose for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where basic regulation suffices and sequencing is handled externally. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and RT8059ZSP, AP6015-M10G-13 offers unique integration of PG signaling, full loop compensation (CC pin), and robust 800mA capability in a thermally optimized MSOP-10L-making it preferable for systems requiring reliable power sequencing, stable operation across variable output caps, and sustained load delivery.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for AP6015-M10G-13?
A minimum 10μF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor must be placed between PVCC and GND, located as close as possible to Pin 1 to suppress high-frequency switching noise and stabilize the input rail. For optimal performance with 5V input, a 10μF/16V MLCC is standard; larger values improve hold-up during transients but add cost and footprint.
Does AP6015-M10G-13 support adjustable output voltage?
Yes - AP6015-M10G-13 is the adjustable version (suffix "Adj" implied by blank voltage code), allowing output voltages from 0.8V to VIN using an external resistor divider on the FB pin. The internal 0.8V reference sets regulation point; no internal feedback resistors are used, enabling precise custom rail generation.
How does the power-good (PG) pin function during startup?
The PG pin remains high-impedance for the first 100μs after EN goes high, then transitions active-low (open-drain) once VOUT reaches ≥92% of nominal value. It requires an external pull-up resistor to VO or VCC; improper startup sequencing (e.g., premature PG read) can cause false system resets if not timed per datasheet timing diagrams.
Is AP6015-M10G-13 suitable for automotive applications?
No - AP6015-M10G-13 is specified for -40°C to +85°C ambient operation and lacks AEC-Q200 qualification, extended temperature range (-40°C to +125°C), or automotive-specific reliability testing. It is intended for commercial portable electronics, not under-hood or safety-critical vehicle systems.
