Product details
Overview
AP62300Z6-7 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 (TA = +25°C), 750kHz switching frequency at 12VIN/5VOUT, and 155μA quiescent current in PFM mode - deployed in flat-panel TV power rails and FPGA point-of-load supplies.
For engineers reviewing the AP62300Z6-7 datasheet, AP62300Z6-7 pinout, AP62300Z6-7 application, or AP62300Z6-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (TSOT26), validated COT control behavior, confirmed EMI-reduction gate driver operation, and real-world light-load efficiency data (83% @ 5mA) - all extracted from Diodes DS41958 Rev. 4-2.
Technical Context
The AP62300Z6-7 implements Constant On-Time (COT) control with input-voltage–compensated on-time calculation (tON = VOUT/(VIN × fSW)), enabling fast transient response and stable loop behavior without external compensation. Its proprietary multi-level gate driver suppresses SW node ringing while preserving MOSFET turn-on/turn-off slew rates.
It operates in PFM mode under light load (≤5mA), achieving 155μA IQ, and transitions to CCM above ~300mA depending on L and VIN/VOUT. Protection includes cycle-by-cycle valley current limit (3.7A typ), thermal shutdown at +160°C, and UVLO with 3.9V rising / 3.6V falling thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4.2V to 18V DC - supports 5V/12V distributed bus inputs and automotive cold-crank margin. |
| IOUT Max | 3A continuous - sufficient for FPGA core rails and mid-power audio amplifiers. |
| VFB Ref | 0.763V ±1% at +25°C - sets output via resistor divider; enables precise 3.3V/5V generation with <±1.5% total error. |
| fSW | 750kHz typical (12VIN/5VOUT) - balances EMI performance and inductor size; fixed-frequency-like behavior under COT. |
| RDS(ON) HS/LS | 75mΩ / 45mΩ - minimizes conduction loss; enables >88% efficiency at 1A/5V with 3.3μH inductor. |
| IQ | 155μA in PFM - extends battery life in always-on consumer devices; measured at no-load, non-switching condition. |
| UVLO Threshold | 3.6V (falling), 3.9V (rising) - prevents erratic startup during brownout; programmable via resistor divider on EN pin. |
Pinout & Package
AP62300Z6-7 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).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power Input | Supplies IC bias and high-side MOSFET; requires ≥10μF ceramic bypass to GND near pin. |
| SW | Switch Node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt; layout critical for EMI control and efficiency. |
| GND | Power Ground | Main return path for VIN, SW, BST, EN, FB; must tie to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| BST | Bootstrap Supply | Drives high-side MOSFET gate; requires ≥100nF capacitor from BST to SW for charge replenishment. |
| EN | Enable Control | Digital enable with 1.2V logic-high threshold; internal 1.5µA pull-up enables auto-start if left floating. |
| FB | Feedback Sense | Monitors resistive divider output; regulates VOUT to 0.763V reference; high-impedance input (5.5µA sink). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EMI-optimized gate driver | Eliminates SW node ringing without degrading rise/fall times - reduces radiated emissions in FCC/CE-compliant consumer designs. |
| COT control architecture | Delivers <10μs load transient recovery (50mA ↔ 3A) and eliminates need for external compensation network. |
| Integrated power MOSFETs | 75mΩ HS + 45mΩ LS reduce BOM count and PCB area vs. controller + discrete FET solutions. |
| Light-load PFM mode | 155μA IQ and 83% efficiency at 5mA enable always-on functionality in smart displays and IoT hubs. |
| Comprehensive protection | Includes valley-current limiting (3.7A), thermal shutdown (+160°C), UVLO, and output undervoltage lockout. |
Applications
| Flat-Panel TV Power Rails | FPGA Core Supplies |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 3.3V/5V rails for main SoC, TCON, and backlight drivers in 32–75″ LCD/LED TVs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary synchronous buck regulator converting 12V bus to multiple low-voltage system rails. Use Value: Low 155μA quiescent current reduces standby power; EMI-optimized switching meets CISPR-32 Class B limits without added ferrites. |
Use Scenario: Delivering tightly regulated 1.2V/1.8V core and I/O supplies to Xilinx Artix-7 or Intel Cyclone V FPGAs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Point-of-load (POL) DC-DC converter placed adjacent to FPGA power pins for minimal IR drop. Use Value: 3A capability and fast COT transient response (<10μs) prevent logic errors during FPGA configuration bursts. |
| Smart Audio Amplifier Rails | Network Router PoL Conversion |
|
Use Scenario: Generating 5V/12V supplies for Class-D audio amplifiers in soundbars and wireless speakers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary buck stage stepping down 19V adapter output to amplifier analog/digital rails. Use Value: Integrated MOSFETs eliminate external FET layout sensitivity; 750kHz fSW allows compact 3.3μH inductors. |
Use Scenario: Converting 12V backplane voltage to 3.3V/5V for Ethernet PHYs, switch controllers, and memory in SMB routers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-efficiency POL regulator supporting bursty traffic loads with minimal thermal derating. Use Value: 83% efficiency at 5mA idle load extends uptime in fanless router enclosures; thermal shutdown protects against airflow blockage. |
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 | 2A max output, 0.8V ref, 2.2MHz fSW, no BST capacitor required (integrated bootstrap diode) | Higher fSW enables smaller inductors but increases switching loss above 1A; less suitable for 3A sustained loads | Select when board space is constrained and peak load ≤2A; avoid for FPGA core rails requiring 3A continuous. |
| TPS563201DDCR | 3A, 4.5–18V input, 0.8V ref, 500kHz fSW, integrated soft-start and power-good | Lacks proprietary EMI gate driver; higher SW ringing observed in EMC testing without snubbers | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial applications where EMI filtering is already implemented; not recommended for CE-marked consumer displays. |
Compared with MP2451DT-LF-Z and TPS563201DDCR, AP62300Z6-7 uniquely combines 3A capability, ultra-low 155μA IQ, and certified EMI reduction - making it optimal for space-constrained, always-on consumer electronics requiring Class B compliance without design iteration.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for AP62300Z6-7?
A minimum 10μF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of VIN and GND pins is required to suppress high-frequency switching noise. For systems with long input traces or high source impedance, add a 47–100μF aluminum polymer bulk capacitor upstream to handle low-frequency ripple and inrush current.
Can AP62300Z6-7 be used in automotive applications?
AP62300Z6-7 itself is not AEC-Q100 qualified; however, Diodes offers the AP62300T variant (same electrical specs, identical TSOT26 package) qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C). For automotive designs, specify AP62300T-7 and confirm PPAP readiness with Diodes' automotive team.
How does the EN pin function beyond enable/disable control?
The EN pin serves dual roles: digital enable (1.2V threshold) and UVLO programming. By connecting a resistor divider from VIN to GND with the tap to EN, designers can set custom input undervoltage lockout thresholds - e.g., 9.0V rising UVLO using 100kΩ (top) and 15kΩ (bottom) resistors per the datasheet equation.
What is the minimum off-time specification and why does it matter?
The AP62300Z6-7 has a typical minimum off-time of 220ns. This parameter defines the shortest interval between high-side turn-off and next turn-on, directly limiting maximum duty cycle at low VOUT/high VIN - e.g., at VIN = 18V and VOUT = 3.3V, minimum off-time constrains achievable regulation without pulse-skipping artifacts.
