Product details
Overview
AP62201Z6-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 2A synchronous buck converter with 4.2V–18V input range, integrated 90mΩ high-side and 65mΩ low-side MOSFETs, 750kHz fixed switching frequency, 0.8V ±1% feedback reference, and proprietary EMI-optimized gate driver. It delivers regulated 5V/3.3V point-of-load power for FPGA, DSP, and consumer electronics power rails.
For engineers reviewing the AP62201Z6-7 datasheet, AP62201Z6-7 pinout, AP62201Z6-7 application, or AP62201Z6-7 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed EMI-reduction architecture, real-world efficiency curves at 5mA–2A loads, and precise thermal shutdown behavior at +160°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The AP62201Z6-7 employs Constant On-Time (COT) control with inverse VIN-proportional tON calculation (tON = VOUT/(VIN × fSW)) and 220ns minimum off-time, enabling fast transient response without external compensation. Its internal 0.8V reference feeds a precision resistive divider to set output voltage between 0.8V and 7V.
EMI reduction is achieved via a proprietary gate driver that suppresses SW node ringing while preserving MOSFET turn-on/turn-off timing-verified by 2μs/div ripple waveforms under 2A load transients. Protection includes cycle-by-cycle valley current limit (2.0–3.5A), UVLO (3.6V falling), and thermal shutdown (+160°C 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 without pre-regulation |
| Output Current | 2A continuous - sustains full load with ≤124°C/W θJA in SOT563 package |
| fSW | 750kHz typical - enables compact 4.7μH inductor and <20mVpp ripple at 2A |
| VFB Reference | 0.800V ±1% - sets output accuracy to ±1.25% over -40°C to +125°C |
| IQ (PFM) | 135μA typical - achieves 84% efficiency at 5mA light load |
| RDS(ON) HS/LS | 90mΩ / 65mΩ - limits conduction loss to <220mW at 2A, enabling >90% peak efficiency |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C with +20°C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during sustained overload |
Pinout & Package
AP62201Z6-7 is packaged in TSOT26 (Standard), a 6-pin, 1.7mm × 2.9mm, 0.95mm height surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 3) | Power Input | Accepts 4.2–18V supply; requires ≥10μF ceramic bypass to GND for noise suppression |
| SW (Pin 2) | Switching Node | Drives external inductor; connects to BST capacitor (100nF) and LC filter output |
| GND (Pin 1) | Power Ground | Primary return path for high-current loops; must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane |
| BST (Pin 6) | Bootstrap Supply | Provides gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET; requires 100nF capacitor to SW |
| EN (Pin 5) | Enable Control | Logic-high (>1.2V) enables soft-start; floating enables auto-start via 1.5μA internal pull-up |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback Sense | Monitors output via resistor divider; regulates VOUT to 0.8V reference with ±1% tolerance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 2MHz fSW, 0.8V ref, 2A rating, but no PFM mode - higher IQ (260μA) and lower light-load efficiency | Lacks EMI-optimized gate driver; requires additional ferrite beads for CISPR-22 compliance | Choose when fixed high-frequency operation is required for ultra-small inductors, not for EMI-sensitive layouts. |
| TPS562201DDCR | Adaptive COT control, 0.8V ref, 2A, but RDS(ON) = 110mΩ/75mΩ - higher conduction loss at full load | Higher thermal resistance (θJA = 125°C/W) limits continuous 2A operation in compact enclosures | Prefer when TI ecosystem support (WEBENCH, reference designs) outweighs efficiency and thermal advantages of AP62201Z6-7. |
Compared with MP2451DT-LF-Z and TPS562201DDCR, AP62201Z6-7 delivers superior light-load efficiency (84% vs. ≤72%), lower thermal resistance (70°C/W vs. ≥125°C/W), and integrated EMI mitigation-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-aware, and emission-sensitive designs.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for AP62201Z6-7?
A minimum 10μF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of VIN and GND pins is required to suppress high-frequency switching noise. For 12V input, a 16V-rated 10μF + 22μF parallel combination reduces impedance across 100kHz–10MHz and prevents voltage droop during 2A load steps.
How does the EN pin function when left unconnected?
When EN is floating, an internal 1.5μA pull-up current source charges the pin to the 1.2V logic-high threshold, enabling automatic startup once VIN reaches UVLO release (3.9V). No external pull-up is needed, simplifying single-rail designs where sequenced enable is unnecessary.
Can AP62201Z6-7 operate with a 3.3V output at 2A continuously?
Yes - with a 3.3μH inductor and proper thermal layout (2oz copper, thermal vias under GND pad), AP62201Z6-7 delivers 2A at 3.3V with ≤55°C junction rise above ambient. Efficiency exceeds 88% at 12V input, verified by Figure 26 in DS41957 Rev. 7-2.
What is the purpose of the BST capacitor, and what value is required?
The BST capacitor (100nF, 16V X7R ceramic) forms a charge pump with the SW node to generate sufficient gate drive voltage for the high-side MOSFET. It must be placed adjacent to BST and SW pins with minimal loop area to prevent gate drive instability and ensure reliable 90mΩ RDS(ON) performance.
