Product details
Overview
AP61100QZ6-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade, 1A synchronous buck converter with integrated 110mΩ high-side and 80mΩ low-side MOSFETs, operating from 2.3V–5.5V input and delivering 0.6V–3.6V output. It uses Constant On-Time (COT) control for fast transient response and achieves up to 89% efficiency at 5mA light load in PFM mode. It is deployed in automotive infotainment power rails requiring AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance and stable 1.8V/3.3V point-of-load regulation.
For engineers reviewing the AP61100QZ6-7 datasheet, AP61100QZ6-7 pinout, AP61100QZ6-7 application, or AP61100QZ6-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 15μA quiescent current in PFM, 2.2MHz switching frequency at 5V/1.8V, -40°C to +125°C ambient operation, integrated OVP/UVLO/thermal shutdown, and SOT563 package suitability for space-constrained automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AP61100QZ6-7 implements a COT control architecture where on-time is inversely proportional to VIN and directly proportional to VOUT, enabling pseudo-fixed-frequency operation across input voltage variations. Its internal 0.6V ±2% reference sets output via external resistor divider, and soft-start is fixed at 0.5ms to limit inrush current.
It supports dual operation modes: PFM for ultra-low IQ (15μA) at light loads and PWM for consistent 2.2MHz switching regardless of load - selected by EN pin voltage relative to VIN. Protection includes valley-current limiting (1.9A typical), thermal shutdown at +160°C, and active discharge during UVLO/OVP events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.3V to 5.5V DC - supports direct connection to automotive 3.3V/5V distributed buses without pre-regulation. |
| IOUT Max | 1A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, display drivers, and sensor interfaces in clusters and telematics. |
| fSW | 2.2MHz typical at VIN=5V, VOUT=1.8V - enables use of compact 1μH inductors and reduces EMI filtering burden. |
| IQ (PFM) | 15μA typical - extends battery runtime in always-on automotive modules such as CAN gateways and body controllers. |
| RDS(ON) HS/LG | 110mΩ / 80mΩ - minimizes conduction loss and improves full-load efficiency without external MOSFETs. |
| Thermal Rating | TJ max = +150°C, θJA = 141°C/W (SOT563) - validated for under-hood ambient up to +125°C with standard PCB layout. |
| Feedback Ref | 0.6V ±2% - enables precise output setting from 0.6V to 3.6V using standard 1% resistors (e.g., 200kΩ/100kΩ for 1.8V). |
Pinout & Package
SOT563 package: 6-pin, 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm, thermally enhanced leadframe, RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB | Feedback sensing input | Monitors output voltage via resistive divider; deviation from 0.6V adjusts switching to maintain regulation. |
| GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for high-current switching loop; must be connected to low-impedance ground plane. |
| VIN | Main power input | Supplies IC bias and power stage; requires local 10µF ceramic bypass capacitor to suppress switching noise. |
| SW | Switching node output | Drives external inductor; carries high di/dt current - requires short, wide trace to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
| EN | Enable and mode control | Logic-controlled startup/shutdown; voltage level relative to VIN selects PFM (high-Z) or forced PWM operation. |
| OUT | Output power rail | Delivers regulated DC output; connects directly to load capacitance and feedback divider; no PG function (AP61102Q variant only). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for -40°C to +125°C ambient operation with HBM ±6kV and CDM ±1.5kV ESD robustness - meets automotive system-level reliability requirements. |
| Integrated power MOSFETs | 110mΩ HS + 80mΩ LS - eliminates external FETs and gate drivers, reducing BOM count and layout complexity for 1A PoL designs. |
| Programmable PFM/PWM mode | EN pin voltage threshold determines operation: >VIN−200mV → PFM; |
| Comprehensive protection suite | UVLO (1.84V fall), VIN OVP (6.3V rise), valley-current limit (1.9A), thermal shutdown (+160°C), and active output discharge - ensures fault-safe behavior in harsh automotive environments. |
| Low-noise COT control | Fixed 70ns min off-time and adaptive on-time - delivers <20mVpp output ripple at 1A and sub-10µs load transient recovery without external compensation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPQ2171GJ-AEC1 | 2.2V–17V input, 0.8A max, 2.2MHz, 25μA IQ, QFN-8 package | Wider VIN range but lower current; requires external compensation; larger footprint | Preferred when input may exceed 5.5V (e.g., 12V bus tapping); less suitable for space-constrained 1A 5V-rail designs. |
| TPS62097-Q1 | 2.5V–6V input, 1.2A max, 2.25MHz, 17μA IQ, 6-pin WSON | Higher current rating and tighter VFB tolerance (±1%), but no integrated OVP and higher RDS(ON) (140/90mΩ) | Chosen for higher accuracy or margin in current capability; requires external OVP circuitry for full automotive fault coverage. |

FAQ
What is the difference between AP61100QZ6-7 and AP61102Q?
The AP61100QZ6-7 is the AP61100Q variant in SOT563 packaging with OUT pin (Pin 6), while AP61102Q substitutes OUT with an open-drain Power-Good (PG) indicator. Both share identical electrical specs, control architecture, and protection features. The choice depends on whether system-level monitoring of output regulation status is required - PG provides fault signaling for safety-critical diagnostics.
Can AP61100QZ6-7 operate with a 3.3V input and 1.2V output?
Yes. With VIN = 3.3V and VOUT = 1.2V, the device operates within its 2.3V–5.5V input and 0.6V–3.6V output ranges. Using a 200kΩ/100kΩ resistor divider sets VOUT = 1.2V (FB = 0.6V). Efficiency exceeds 85% at 500mA load per datasheet curves, and COT control ensures stable regulation despite input/output ratio.
Does AP61100QZ6-7 require external compensation components?
No. The AP61100QZ6-7 uses Constant On-Time (COT) control with internal compensation, eliminating the need for external Type-II or Type-III compensation networks. Only input/output capacitors and the output inductor are required - simplifying design and reducing bill-of-materials for automotive-grade DC-DC stages.
How does the EN pin control operation mode?
The EN pin selects between PFM and forced PWM: applying a logic high ≥ VIN − 200mV enables PFM for lowest IQ at light loads; applying a logic high < VIN − 200mV forces continuous PWM regardless of load. This allows system firmware to dynamically optimize efficiency versus noise/EMI based on real-time operating conditions.
