Product details
Overview
AP62150WU-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.5A synchronous buck converter with 4.2V–18V input range, integrated 90mΩ high-side and 65mΩ low-side MOSFETs, 1.3MHz switching frequency (VIN=12V, VOUT=5V), 135μA quiescent current in PFM mode, and proprietary EMI-optimized gate driver. It delivers regulated 0.8V–7V output for FPGA/DSP core supplies and consumer power rails.
For engineers reviewing the AP62150WU-7 datasheet, AP62150WU-7 pinout, AP62150WU-7 application, or AP62150WU-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its COT control architecture for fast transient response, dual-package availability (SOT563/TSOT26), valley-current-limit OCP, thermal shutdown at +160°C, and EN-programmable UVLO.
Technical Context
The AP62150WU-7 employs Constant On-Time (COT) control to achieve pseudo-fixed-frequency operation with input-voltage-dependent on-time (tON = VOUT/(VIN × fSW)) and a fixed 200ns minimum off-time. Its multi-level gate driver suppresses SW node ringing without degrading rise/fall times, directly reducing high-frequency radiated EMI.
It operates in both Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) and Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) at light load, delivering 135μA IQ under no-load conditions. Protection includes cycle-by-cycle valley current limiting (2.1–3.5A), undervoltage lockout (3.6V falling, 3.9–4.15V rising), and thermal shutdown with 20°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4.2V to 18V DC - supports 5V/12V distributed bus inputs and automotive battery-supplied systems. |
| IOUT Max | 1.5A continuous - sufficient for FPGA I/O banks, DSP cores, and ASIC auxiliary rails. |
| fSW | 1.3MHz typical (VIN=12V, VOUT=5V) - enables compact LC filter design with ≤3.3μH inductors. |
| IQ | 135μA in PFM mode - extends battery runtime in always-on consumer devices. |
| VFB Accuracy | 0.800V ±1% at TA=+25°C - ensures tight output regulation across temperature and load. |
| RDS(ON) HS/LS | 90mΩ / 65mΩ - minimizes conduction loss and improves full-load efficiency (>90% at 1A). |
| UVLO Threshold | Falling: 3.6V, Rising: 3.9–4.15V - prevents erratic startup during brownout or cold-cranking. |
Pinout & Package
AP62150WU-7 is available in TSOT26 (Standard) - a 6-pin, 1.6mm × 2.9mm, 0.95mm height surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad. Pin mapping is validated per Diodes DS42700 Rev. 3-2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power Input | Supplies IC bias and high/low-side MOSFETs; requires ≥10μF ceramic bypass to GND near pin. |
| SW | Switching Node | Connects to inductor input; carries high di/dt; routing must minimize loop area for EMI control. |
| GND | Power Ground | Primary return path for VIN, SW, BST, and FB; ties to PCB thermal pad for thermal performance. |
| BST | Bootstrap Supply | Drives high-side MOSFET gate via 100nF capacitor to SW; critical for gate drive strength and efficiency. |
| EN | Enable Control | Digital input (1.2V threshold); floating enables auto-start; external RC delays startup for rail sequencing. |
| FB | Feedback Sense | Monitors resistive divider (R1/R2) at output; sets VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2); high-impedance input. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant On-Time (COT) Control | Enables <10μs load transient recovery and eliminates external compensation components. |
| Proprietary Ringing-Free Gate Driver | Reduces high-frequency EMI radiation without sacrificing MOSFET switching speed or efficiency. |
| Valley Current Limit Protection | 2.1–3.5A cycle-by-cycle limit sensed across low-side MOSFET; prevents inductor saturation. |
| Programmable UVLO via EN Pin | External resistor divider adjusts VIN turn-on/off thresholds beyond default 3.6V/3.9V points. |
| Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis | +160°C trip, +140°C recovery - prevents thermal runaway while enabling safe automatic restart. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2451DT-LF-Z (Monolithic Power) | Higher IQ (260μA), fixed 2MHz fSW, no programmable UVLO, 2A rating. | Less suitable for ultra-low-power standby; better for higher-frequency, smaller-inductor designs. | Select when board space demands <2.0MHz operation and 2A headroom is required over efficiency. |
| TPS561201 (Texas Instruments) | Adaptive COT control, 1.2A rating, 1.4V–5.5V VOUT range, integrated soft-start ramp. | Limited max input (17V) and output current; lacks BST pin configuration flexibility. | Prefer when TI ecosystem support and simplified enable sequencing outweigh need for 18V input or 1.5A output. |
Compared with MP2451DT-LF-Z and TPS561201, AP62150WU-7 offers superior EMI performance via its proprietary gate driver, wider input range (up to 18V), lower quiescent current (135μA vs. 260μA/150μA), and direct EN-based UVLO programming-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, noise-critical consumer power rails.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for AP62150WU-7?
Diodes recommends a minimum 10μF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VIN and GND pins. For improved ripple suppression and EMI performance, a parallel combination of 10μF + 100nF is specified in the typical application circuit. The capacitor must be rated for ≥25V DC and located within 2mm of the IC to minimize high-frequency loop inductance.
Can AP62150WU-7 operate with an output voltage below 0.8V?
No. The internal reference voltage is fixed at 0.800V ±1%, and the feedback network is designed to scale this reference upward only. Output voltages less than 0.8V cannot be achieved because the FB pin senses a divided version of VOUT, and the controller regulates to maintain VFB = 0.8V. Attempting sub-0.8V operation violates the device's functional specification and will result in regulation failure.
How does the AP62150WU-7 handle short-circuit conditions?
Under output short, the AP62150WU-7 enters hiccup mode after 2.5ms of sustained valley current limit triggering. Both MOSFETs shut off for 20ms, then attempt soft-start recovery. This limits average power dissipation and prevents thermal damage. Recovery is automatic and does not require external reset; however, repeated shorts may cause thermal shutdown if board-level heatsinking is inadequate.
Is AP62150WU-7 qualified for automotive applications?
AP62150WU-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. While it operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and includes automotive-relevant protections (UVLO, OCP, TSD), Diodes explicitly states that automotive-grade variants require separate qualification, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing. Customers needing automotive use must contact Diodes directly for qualified alternatives such as the AP62200 series.
