Product details
Overview
AP64352QSP-13 from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter with 3.8V–40V input, 3.5A continuous output, integrated 75mΩ/45mΩ MOSFETs, and internal loop compensation. It delivers regulated 5V/3.3V outputs for infotainment and instrument cluster power rails with ±1% feedback accuracy and 22μA quiescent current in PFM mode.
For engineers reviewing the AP64352QSP-13 datasheet, AP64352QSP-13 pinout, AP64352QSP-13 application, or AP64352QSP-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include EMI-reduction features (FSS ±6% jitter, ringing-free gate drive), programmable soft-start, precision enable threshold (1.18V), and thermal shutdown at +160°C - all validated for automotive-grade reliability across –40°C to +125°C ambient.
Technical Context
The AP64352QSP-13 employs fixed-frequency peak current mode control with integrated slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle. Its proprietary multi-level gate driver maintains fast MOSFET switching edges while eliminating SW node ringing - directly reducing high-frequency radiated EMI without efficiency penalty.
It supports dual frequency programming: resistor-timed (100kHz–2.2MHz via RT/CLK-to-GND) or external clock synchronization (100kHz–2.2MHz), enabling layout-optimized noise management. The device transitions seamlessly between forced PWM (heavy load) and PFM (light load), achieving up to 85% efficiency at 5mA with zero-cross detection disabling low-side conduction during discontinuous conduction mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 3.8V to 40V DC - supports direct connection to 12V/24V automotive battery rails with cold-crank margin down to 3.8V. |
| Output Current | 3.5A continuous - sustains full load under worst-case thermal conditions (θJA = 45°C/W, SO-8EP package). |
| Feedback Voltage | 0.800V ±1% - enables precise output regulation (e.g., 5.00V ±50mV with 115kΩ/22.1kΩ divider) across temperature. |
| Quiescent Current | 22μA typical in PFM no-load - minimizes standby power draw in always-on vehicle modules. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 100kHz–2.2MHz - allows trade-off between inductor size (higher fSW → smaller L) and conduction loss (lower fSW → higher efficiency at mid-load). |
| EMI Reduction | FSS ±6% jitter + ringing-free gate drive - reduces peak conducted/radiated emissions without external snubbers or shielding. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C with +25°C hysteresis - protects die during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design while allowing recovery after cooling. |
Pinout & Package
AP64352QSP-13 is housed in an SO-8EP (exposed pad) thermally enhanced package with 9 terminals (8 leads + exposed thermal pad). The exposed pad must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance (θJC = 5°C/W) and electrical stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST | High-side gate drive boost supply | Requires 100nF ceramic capacitor to SW to sustain gate voltage for 75mΩ high-side MOSFET during 100% duty cycle. |
| VIN | Main power input | Accepts 3.8V–40V; must be bypassed with ≥2×10μF low-ESR capacitors near IC to suppress switching transients. |
| EN | Enable control with UVLO programming | Logic-high threshold = 1.18V; internal 1.5μA pull-up enables auto-start when floating; external resistive divider adjusts VIN UVLO. |
| RT/CLK | Frequency programming/synchronization | Connect resistor to GND for internal oscillator; accept external clock 100kHz–2.2MHz - PLL locks and recovers automatically if clock stops. |
| FB | Output voltage feedback sensing | Compares divided output against 0.8V reference; error amplifier drives COMP node to regulate average inductor current. |
| SS | Soft-start timing control | 4μA internal current charges external capacitor (e.g., 10nF → 2ms soft-start) to limit inrush current and output overshoot. |
| GND | Power ground reference | Common return for VIN, SW, BST, FB, SS, EN, RT/CLK; must connect to exposed pad for low-impedance path. |
| SW | Switching node output | Drives external LC filter; connects to inductor input; voltage swings from GND to VIN during operation. |
| EXPOSED PAD | Thermal and electrical ground | Must be soldered to ≥4-layer PCB ground plane; provides primary heat dissipation path and reduces EMI coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation with HBM ±2kV / CDM ±500V ESD robustness - meets automotive change control and PPAP requirements. |
| Integrated MOSFETs | 75mΩ high-side + 45mΩ low-side RDS(ON) - eliminates external FETs and drivers, reducing BOM count and layout area while maintaining >90% efficiency at 1A. |
| Internal loop compensation | No external compensation components required - simplifies design validation and eliminates tuning errors in production. |
| Low-dropout (LDO) mode | Maintains regulation during ultra-low duty cycles (e.g., VOUT = 3.3V from 4.2V VIN) by extending minimum on-time control. |
| Cycle-by-cycle OCP | 4.2A–6.5A programmable peak current limit - protects against short-circuit and overload without latch-up, supporting auto-recovery. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPQ4420AGL-A-P | 40V/2A, 200kHz–2.5MHz fSW, no FSS, requires external compensation | Lacks automotive qualification and EMI-specific features; lower current rating limits use in high-power infotainment. | Select only for non-automotive industrial applications where EMI is less constrained and 2A output suffices. |
| TPS54340QDGQRQ1 | 40V/3.5A, 100kHz–2.5MHz, no integrated FSS or ringing suppression, external compensation required | Higher IQ (145μA vs. 22μA) increases standby power; lacks proprietary gate drive for SW node control. | Prefer when TI ecosystem support (WEBENCH, reference designs) outweighs EMI and quiescent current advantages of AP64352QSP-13. |
Compared with MPQ4420AGL-A-P and TPS54340QDGQRQ1, the AP64352QSP-13 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance, integrated EMI reduction (FSS + ringing-free drive), internal compensation, and 22μA PFM IQ - making it the only option qualified for demanding automotive power rails requiring both low standby power and certified EMC performance.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for reliable startup?
The AP64352QSP-13 has a nominal VIN undervoltage lockout (UVLO) rising threshold of 3.7V and falling threshold of 3.1V. Reliable startup occurs when VIN exceeds 3.7V, accommodating automotive cold-crank events down to 3.8V. The EN pin's 1.18V logic-high threshold allows external resistor networks to raise the effective UVLO point for systems requiring higher turn-on voltage.
How does the Frequency Spread Spectrum (FSS) function impact EMC testing?
FSS introduces ±6% switching frequency jitter, spreading energy across a 12% bandwidth instead of concentrating it at a single fundamental and harmonics. This reduces peak radiated emissions by 5–10dB in CISPR 25 narrowband scans, often eliminating the need for ferrite beads or shielded inductors in pre-compliance testing - verified in Diodes' application note AN-42747.
Can the AP64352QSP-13 operate with a 2.2MHz switching frequency?
Yes - the AP64352QSP-13 supports 100kHz to 2.2MHz via RT/CLK pin configuration. At 2.2MHz, use a 47kΩ ±1% resistor from RT/CLK to GND (per DS42747 Figure 11). Ensure external components (inductor DCR, capacitor ESR) are rated for high-frequency operation to maintain efficiency and thermal performance.
What thermal derating applies when using the SO-8EP package on a 2-layer PCB?
On a standard 2-layer FR-4 board without thermal vias or copper pour, θJA degrades from the datasheet's 45°C/W (4-layer, 2oz Cu) to ~75°C/W. At 3.5A output and 12V input, junction temperature rise exceeds safe limits; reduce load to ≤2.2A or implement ≥6 thermal vias under the exposed pad connected to inner ground planes to restore full-rated current capability.
