Product details
Overview
AP62150Z6-7 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), 0.8V ±1% reference voltage, and 135μA quiescent current in PFM mode-designed for EMI-sensitive 5V/12V point-of-load supplies in flat-panel TVs and home audio systems.
For engineers reviewing the AP62150Z6-7 datasheet, AP62150Z6-7 pinout, AP62150Z6-7 application, or AP62150Z6-7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its COT control architecture for fast transient response, proprietary gate driver for ringing-free SW node, cycle-by-cycle valley current limit at 2.8A typ, and dual-package availability (SOT563/TSOT26) with validated thermal performance up to +125°C ambient.
Technical Context
The AP62150Z6-7 implements Constant On-Time (COT) control with input-voltage–compensated on-time calculation (tON = VOUT/(VIN × fSW)), enabling pseudo-fixed-frequency operation across 4.2–18V input while maintaining fast load-step response. Its multi-level gate driver suppresses SW node ringing without degrading rise/fall times, directly reducing high-frequency radiated EMI.
Protection includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO falling threshold 3.6V), thermal shutdown at +160°C with +20°C hysteresis, and valley-current limiting via low-side MOSFET conduction sensing-triggering hiccup mode after 2.5ms sustained overcurrent. Soft-start time is fixed at 2.5ms to limit inrush current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4.2V to 18V DC - supports direct connection to 5V/12V distributed bus rails without pre-regulation |
| Output Current | 1.5A continuous - sufficient for FPGA core, DSP I/O, or ASIC auxiliary rail power delivery |
| 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 electronics standby states |
| VFB Accuracy | 0.800V ±1% at TA=+25°C - ensures ±1.6% output voltage tolerance over full temperature and line/load range |
| RDS(ON) HS/LS | 90mΩ / 65mΩ - minimizes conduction loss at 1.5A, supporting >90% peak efficiency at mid-load |
| EN Threshold | 1.20V logic-high, 1.10V logic-low - allows precise power sequencing using resistor dividers or microcontroller GPIO |
Pinout & Package
AP62150Z6-7 is packaged in TSOT26 (Standard), a 6-pin, 1.6mm × 2.9mm, 0.95mm height surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad. Pin mapping is verified per Diodes DS42700 Rev. 3-2 Figure 1 (top view).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 3) | Power Input | Supplies IC bias and high/low-side MOSFETs; requires ≥10μF ceramic bypass to GND near pin |
| SW (Pin 2) | Switch Node | Connects to inductor input; high di/dt node requiring tight layout and ground plane clearance |
| GND (Pin 1) | Power Ground | Primary return path for VIN, SW, BST, and FB; must be low-impedance copper pour under IC |
| BST (Pin 6) | Bootstrap Supply | Drives high-side MOSFET gate; requires 100nF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW |
| EN (Pin 5) | Enable Control | Active-high digital input; internal 1.5μA pull-up enables auto-start when floating |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback Sense | Resistive divider midpoint; sets VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2); high-impedance input |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EMI-optimized switching | Proprietary multi-level gate driver eliminates SW node ringing while preserving <10ns rise/fall times |
| COT control architecture | Enables stable loop compensation with only two external components (R1/R2) and no compensation network |
| Valley current limiting | Detects overcurrent during low-side conduction phase, triggering immediate cycle termination at 2.8A typ |
| Thermal protection | Shuts down at TJ = +160°C and auto-restarts at +140°C, preventing permanent silicon damage under overload |
| UVLO programmability | EN pin's 5.5μA hysteresis current source allows external resistor divider to set custom VIN turn-on/off thresholds |

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 | Fixed 2.2MHz fSW, no programmable UVLO, higher IQ (250μA), same 1.5A rating and 4.5–18V VIN | Lacks COT control and EMI-optimized gate drive; less suitable for noise-sensitive audio or fast-transient FPGA loads | Select when board space demands smaller inductors and EMI requirements are relaxed |
| TPS561201DRCT | Adaptive COT control, 1.5A, 4.5–17V VIN, but larger SOT23-6 package and no BST pin (integrated bootstrap) | Higher thermal resistance (θJA = 120°C/W) limits ambient operating range; no external UVLO adjustment | Prefer for designs prioritizing ease of layout over thermal density or sequencing flexibility |
Compared with MP2451DT-LF-Z and TPS561201DRCT, AP62150Z6-7 uniquely combines COT stability, EMI-suppressed switching, and field-programmable UVLO in a thermally efficient TSOT26 package-making it optimal for compact, noise-critical, and sequenced power systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended ambient temperature for continuous 1.5A operation in TSOT26 package?
The AP62150Z6-7 supports continuous 1.5A output at +85°C ambient temperature when mounted on a standard 2-layer FR-4 PCB with minimum recommended copper area. Thermal derating begins above this point, with full 1.5A capability maintained up to +70°C ambient on typical layouts; junction temperature must not exceed +125°C operating limit.
Can the output voltage be adjusted below 0.8V using external resistors?
No-the AP62150Z6-7 has a fixed 0.8V internal reference voltage and is not designed for sub-0.8V operation. The feedback divider sets VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2), so minimum achievable output is 0.8V (when R1 = 0Ω and R2 = open). Attempting lower outputs violates regulation accuracy and may cause instability or overvoltage under light load.
Does AP62150Z6-7 support forced PWM mode, or is it limited to auto PFM/PWM?
The AP62150Z6-7 operates exclusively in automatic PFM/PWM mode-no external pin or register enables forced PWM. At light loads, it seamlessly transitions to PFM to maintain high efficiency (135μA IQ), and reverts to CCM at higher loads. This behavior is inherent to its COT architecture and cannot be overridden.
How is the BST capacitor value determined, and what happens if it's undersized?
A 100nF X7R ceramic capacitor is required between BST and SW to sustain high-side gate drive voltage. If undersized, insufficient charge storage causes high-side MOSFET turn-off during heavy load, resulting in output droop, increased ripple, and potential thermal stress. Layout must minimize trace inductance between BST/SW pins and capacitor pads.
