Product details
Overview
AP62300WU-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3A synchronous buck DC-DC converter with 4.2V–18V input range, integrated 75mΩ high-side and 45mΩ low-side MOSFETs, 750kHz switching frequency, 0.8V ±1% feedback reference, 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 AP62300WU-7 datasheet, AP62300WU-7 pinout, AP62300WU-7 application, or AP62300WU-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its COT control architecture for fast transient response, proprietary gate driver for ringing-free SW node, thermal shutdown at +160°C, and TSOT26 package compatibility with space-constrained consumer power rails.
Technical Context
The AP62300WU-7 employs Constant On-Time (COT) control with input-voltage–compensated on-time calculation (tON = VOUT/(VIN × fSW)), enabling pseudo-fixed-frequency operation across 4.2V–18V input while maintaining <90ns minimum on-time and 220ns minimum off-time for stable light-load regulation.
Its proprietary multi-level gate driver suppresses switching-node ringing without degrading rise/fall slew rates, directly reducing high-frequency radiated EMI; combined with valley-current limiting (3.7A typ), UVLO (3.6V falling), and 2.5ms internal soft-start, it delivers robust startup and fault recovery in noisy consumer environments.
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 Max | 3A continuous - sufficient for FPGA core, DSP I/O, or ASIC auxiliary rail power delivery. |
| fSW | 750kHz typical at VIN=12V, VOUT=5V - enables compact 3.3μH inductor and low-profile output capacitors. |
| IQ (PFM) | 155μA typical - extends battery life in always-on standby circuits and low-power audio subsystems. |
| VFB Ref | 0.8V ±1% at +25°C - sets output voltage via external resistor divider; supports 0.8V–7V programmable VOUT. |
| RDS(ON) HS/LS | 75mΩ / 45mΩ - minimizes conduction loss at full load, enabling >83% efficiency at 5mA light load. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C with +20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
AP62300WU-7 is packaged in TSOT26 (Standard), a 6-pin, 1.6mm × 2.9mm, 0.95mm height surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation (θJA = 70°C/W on 2-layer FR-4).
| 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; layout critical for EMI and efficiency. |
| GND | Power Ground | Primary return path for VIN, SW, BST, EN, FB; must tie to thermal pad and minimize impedance. |
| BST | Bootstrap Supply | Drives high-side MOSFET gate; requires ≥100nF capacitor from BST to SW for reliable turn-on. |
| EN | Enable Control | Digital input with 1.2V threshold; floating enables auto-start; 1.5μA shutdown current when pulled low. |
| FB | Feedback Sense | Monitors resistive divider output; regulates VOUT to 0.8V reference; high-impedance input (5.5μA sink). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| COT Control Architecture | Delivers <10μs load transient response and eliminates loop compensation components for simplified design. |
| Ringing-Free Gate Driver | Suppresses SW node oscillation without slowing edge rates, reducing radiated EMI by >6dB in 30–1000MHz band. |
| Integrated Power MOSFETs | 75mΩ HS + 45mΩ LS reduce BOM count and PCB area vs. controller + discrete FET solutions. |
| Light-Load PFM Mode | Maintains >83% efficiency at 5mA output, critical for always-on audio amplifiers and TV standby supplies. |
| Comprehensive Protection | Includes cycle-by-cycle valley current limit, output undervoltage lockout, thermal shutdown, and UVLO. |

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 | 4.5V–36V input, 0.8V ref, 2A output, no integrated BST cap requirement. | Lacks proprietary EMI suppression; higher RDS(ON) (110mΩ HS) reduces efficiency at 3A. | Prefer for wider VIN range where EMI is less critical and load current ≤2A. |
| TPS563201DDFR | 4.5V–17V input, 0.8V ref, 3A output, 500kHz fSW, requires external bootstrap diode. | Higher IQ (250μA) and no PFM mode; less suitable for ultra-low standby power designs. | Choose when TI ecosystem support or adjustable frequency is prioritized over EMI performance. |
Compared with MP2451DT-LF-Z and TPS563201DDFR, AP62300WU-7 uniquely combines 3A capability, 155μA PFM IQ, and EMI-optimized switching in a 6-pin TSOT26, making it optimal for space- and noise-constrained consumer power rails where light-load efficiency and radiated emissions compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for AP62300WU-7?
A minimum 10μF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of the VIN and GND pins is required to suppress high-frequency switching noise and stabilize the input rail. For improved ripple rejection and hold-up time, pair it with a 22μF bulk capacitor; total effective capacitance should exceed 33μF with ESR <10mΩ.
Can AP62300WU-7 operate with an output voltage below 0.8V?
No. The internal reference voltage is fixed at 0.8V ±1%, and the feedback network must be configured to scale the output so that the FB pin sees exactly 0.8V at regulation. Output voltages below 0.8V cannot be achieved without external circuitry, as the error amplifier lacks offset adjustment or programmable reference capability.
How does the EN pin function during power sequencing?
The EN pin has a 1.2V rising threshold and 1.1V falling threshold, with an internal 1.5μA pull-up current. When left floating, it enables automatically after VIN reaches UVLO release; adding a capacitor from EN to GND delays startup by controlling RC time constant, enabling controlled power-rail sequencing without external controllers.
Is AP62300WU-7 qualified for automotive applications?
AP62300WU-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. It is specified for industrial and consumer temperature ranges (–40°C to +85°C ambient), with junction temperature rated to +125°C. For automotive use, Diodes offers the AP62300T variant-contact Diodes or Aetrix for PPAP-capable, IATF 16949–certified versions with AEC-Q200 stress testing.
