Product details
Overview
AP61302QZ6-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering 3A continuous output current with 2.4V–5.5V input range, 0.6V–3.6V programmable output, and integrated 70mΩ high-side / 50mΩ low-side MOSFETs. It features a 2.2MHz switching frequency, 19μA quiescent current in PFM mode, and a dedicated open-drain Power-Good (PG) indicator for system monitoring in ADAS and instrument cluster power rails.
For engineers reviewing the AP61302QZ6-7 datasheet, AP61302QZ6-7 pinout, AP61302QZ6-7 application, or AP61302QZ6-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade thermal shutdown (+160°C), ±2% reference voltage accuracy, programmable PFM/PWM operation via EN pin biasing, and PG fault reporting with 40μs rise delay and 5MΩ internal pull-up.
Technical Context
The AP61302QZ6-7 employs Constant On-Time (COT) control architecture to achieve fast transient response and stable loop behavior without external compensation. Its on-time is dynamically calculated as tON = VOUT/(VIN × fSW), enabling pseudo-fixed-frequency operation across input voltage variations.
It supports dual operating modes: PFM for ultra-low IQ (19μA) at light loads (e.g., 5mA), achieving up to 84% efficiency; and forced PWM (via EN pin biasing < VIN – 200mV) for consistent 2.2MHz switching regardless of load. The PG pin provides real-time regulation status with 90% undervoltage and 110% overvoltage thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.4V to 5.5V DC - supports wide automotive battery rail variation including cold-crank (≥2.4V) and load-dump transients (≤5.5V). |
| IOUT Max | 3A continuous - enables single-chip supply for microcontrollers, sensors, or display drivers in infotainment systems. |
| VFB Accuracy | 0.6V ±2% - ensures output voltage regulation within ±72mV at 3.6V setting, critical for SoC core rail stability. |
| fSW | 2.2MHz typical (VIN=5V, VOUT=1.8V) - allows use of compact 1μH inductors and reduces EMI fundamental frequency above AM band. |
| IQ (PFM) | 19μA typical - extends battery runtime in always-on vehicle modules such as telematics wake-up circuits. |
| PG Thresholds | UV: 90% / OV: 110% of VOUT - provides robust power-rail monitoring with 5% hysteresis window for noise immunity. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C junction temperature - protects against sustained overload in sealed automotive enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
SOT563 package: 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm body, 6-pin ultra-small outline transistor with exposed thermal pad (θJA = 141°C/W on 2-layer FR-4).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB | Feedback sensing input | Connects to resistor divider (e.g., 200kΩ/100kΩ) to set VOUT; senses 0.6V reference for regulation. |
| GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for VIN, SW, and PG; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| VIN | Main power input | Supplies IC bias and high/low-side MOSFETs; requires ≥22µF ceramic bypass capacitor near pin. |
| SW | Switch node output | Drives external LC filter (1μH + 22µF); carries high di/dt; layout critical for EMI and efficiency. |
| EN | Enable and mode control | Digital enable (0.83V/0.91V thresholds); sets PFM (VIN–200mV) or forced PWM ( |
| PG | Open-drain power-good | Active-low indicator; pulled low during soft-start or ±10% VOUT deviation; internal 5MΩ pull-up to VIN. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for -40°C to +125°C ambient operation - meets automotive electronics reliability requirements for under-hood and cabin applications. |
| Integrated power MOSFETs | 70mΩ HS / 50mΩ LS RDS(ON) - eliminates external FETs and gate drivers, reducing BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained modules. |
| Programmable PFM/PWM mode | EN pin biasing selects light-load efficiency (PFM) or fixed-frequency noise control (PWM) - enables optimization per subsystem requirement. |
| Low-dropout (LDO) mode | Operates in 100% duty cycle when VOUT ≈ VIN - maintains regulation during brown-out conditions down to 2.4V input. |
| Comprehensive protection suite | Includes UVLO (2.2V fall), VIN OVP (6.3V), peak/valley current limits, and thermal shutdown - prevents damage during fault events. |

FAQ
What is the difference between AP61300Q and AP61302Q?
The AP61302QZ6-7 includes a dedicated open-drain Power-Good (PG) output pin for rail monitoring, while the AP61300Q uses pin 6 as OUT (output power rail). Both share identical electrical specs, package, and control architecture. The PG function enables system-level fault detection and sequencing in safety-critical automotive modules.
How is PFM vs. PWM mode selected on the AP61302QZ6-7?
PFM mode activates automatically at light loads when EN is biased ≥ VIN – 200mV (e.g., tied directly to VIN). Forced PWM mode engages when EN is biased < VIN – 200mV using a resistive divider - ensuring fixed 2.2MHz switching regardless of load current for predictable EMI filtering.
What is the minimum recommended input capacitance for stable operation?
Diodes recommends ≥22µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VIN and GND pins. This value suppresses high-frequency switching noise and supports peak current demands during load transients without violating the 6.5V absolute maximum VIN rating.
Does the AP61302QZ6-7 require external compensation components?
No. The AP61302QZ6-7 uses Constant On-Time (COT) control architecture, eliminating the need for external compensation networks. Loop stability is inherent to the topology, simplifying design and reducing bill-of-materials for automotive-grade DC-DC converters.
