Product details
Overview
AP62300TWU-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3A synchronous buck converter with 4.2V–18V input range, integrated 75mΩ high-side and 45mΩ low-side MOSFETs, 0.763V ±1% reference voltage (25°C), 750kHz switching frequency at 12VIN/5VOUT, and 155μA quiescent current in PFM mode-designed for EMI-sensitive 5V/12V point-of-load regulation in flat-panel TVs and home audio systems.
For engineers reviewing the AP62300TWU-7 datasheet, AP62300TWU-7 pinout, AP62300TWU-7 application, or AP62300TWU-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its TSOT26 package footprint, COT control architecture for fast transient response, proprietary ringing-free gate driver for radiated EMI reduction, and precise 1.2V EN threshold enabling power-rail sequencing.
Technical Context
The AP62300TWU-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 <90ns minimum on-time and 220ns minimum off-time. Its multi-level gate driver suppresses SW node ringing without degrading rise/fall slew rates.
It operates in PFM mode under light load (≤5mA), achieving up to 83% efficiency, and transitions seamlessly to CCM above the calculated boundary current. Protection includes cycle-by-cycle valley current limit (3.2–4.2A), thermal shutdown at +160°C with +20°C hysteresis, UVLO (3.6V falling / 3.9–4.15V rising), and output undervoltage protection.
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. |
| IOUT Continuous | 3A - delivers full rated current with thermal derating per θJA = 70°C/W in TSOT26 package. |
| VFB Reference | 0.763V ±1% at +25°C - sets output voltage via external resistor divider; enables 0.8–7V programmable VOUT. |
| fSW | 750kHz typical at 12VIN/5VOUT - balances EMI performance and inductor size; varies with load in PFM. |
| IQ (PFM) | 155μA typical - minimizes standby power loss in always-on consumer electronics subsystems. |
| RDS(ON) HS/LS | 75mΩ / 45mΩ - integrated MOSFETs reduce BOM count and conduction losses at 3A load. |
| EN Threshold | 1.20–1.25V logic high - allows precise UVLO programming and reliable rail sequencing with RC delay networks. |
Pinout & Package
AP62300TWU-7 is housed in a thermally enhanced TSOT26 (Standard) package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 0.85mm), optimized for high-power density PCB layouts with exposed thermal pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 3) | Power Input | Accepts 4.2–18V supply; requires local 10μF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for noise suppression. |
| SW (Pin 2) | Switching Node | Connects to inductor input; carries high di/dt; must be routed with minimal loop area to reduce EMI. |
| GND (Pin 1) | Power Ground | Primary return path for high-current loops; tied directly to thermal pad for optimal heat dissipation. |
| BST (Pin 6) | Bootstrap Supply | Drives high-side MOSFET gate; requires ≥100nF capacitor between BST and SW for charge replenishment. |
| EN (Pin 5) | Enable Control | Digital input with 1.2V threshold; internal 1.5μA pull-up enables auto-start when floating; supports RC-delayed sequencing. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback Sense | Monitors resistive divider output; regulates VOUT to 0.763V reference; high-impedance input minimizes divider current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ringing-free SW node | Proprietary multi-level gate driver eliminates high-frequency switching node oscillation without sacrificing efficiency or slew rate. |
| COT control architecture | Delivers <10μs load transient response and eliminates external compensation components for stable 5V/3.3V outputs. |
| EMI-optimized layout | Integrated MOSFETs, minimized SW loop area, and controlled edge rates meet CISPR-32 Class B radiated emission limits. |
| Light-load PFM mode | Reduces switching frequency below 5mA load, sustaining 83% efficiency and 155μA IQ for battery-backed or standby circuits. |
| Comprehensive protection | Includes valley current limiting, thermal shutdown (+160°C), UVLO hysteresis, and output undervoltage lockout. |

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 500kHz fSW, no PFM mode, higher IQ (260μA), 0.8V reference, SOT23-6 package. | Lacks light-load efficiency optimization; less suitable for always-on audio or IoT standby rails. | Choose when fixed-frequency EMI filtering is prioritized over light-load efficiency. |
| TPS563201DDFR | Adjustable soft-start, 0.8V reference, 1.2MHz fSW, 125μA IQ, 6-pin SOT23 package. | Higher switching frequency increases inductor cost; lower IQ but no proprietary EMI mitigation. | Prefer for space-constrained designs needing faster transient response, accepting higher radiated EMI risk. |
Compared with MP2451DT-LF-Z and TPS563201DDFR, AP62300TWU-7 uniquely combines PFM-enabled ultra-low IQ, integrated EMI suppression, and TSOT26 thermal performance-making it optimal for consumer electronics where standby power, radiated emissions, and board-area constraints co-dominate.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for AP62300TWU-7?
A 10μF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of VIN and GND pins is required to suppress high-frequency switching noise. For systems with long input traces, add a bulk 47–100μF aluminum polymer capacitor upstream to handle low-frequency ripple and inrush current.
Can AP62300TWU-7 be used in automotive applications?
AP62300TWU-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., AP62300Q) with PPAP documentation, extended temperature range (−40°C to +125°C), and IATF 16949 manufacturing-contact Diodes sales for qualified alternatives.
How does the EN pin enable power-rail sequencing?
Applying a rising voltage >1.2V to EN initiates 2.5ms soft-start. Leaving EN floating enables auto-start via internal 1.5μA pull-up. Adding an RC network (e.g., 100kΩ + 10nF) delays EN rise time by ~2.8ms, allowing staggered startup of multiple rails to limit inrush current.
What causes the difference in feedback reference voltage between AP62300T and AP62300?
AP62300T uses a trimmed 0.763V ±1% reference to improve accuracy at low output voltages (e.g., 1.2V or 1.8V), while AP62300/AP62301 use 0.8V ±1%. This enables tighter regulation tolerance for modern low-voltage digital ICs without requiring external compensation.
