Product details
Overview
AP64352SP-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.5A synchronous buck DC-DC converter with 3.8V–40V input range, integrated 75mΩ high-side and 45mΩ low-side MOSFETs, 0.8V ±1% reference, 22µA quiescent current in PFM mode, and SO-8EP package - used for stable 5V/12V/24V point-of-load regulation in industrial power tools and network systems.
For engineers reviewing the AP64352SP-13 datasheet, AP64352SP-13 pinout, AP64352SP-13 application, or AP64352SP-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include EMI-reduced switching (FSS ±6% jitter + proprietary gate driver), programmable 100kHz–2.2MHz frequency, precision EN threshold (1.18V), cycle-by-cycle OCP, and thermal shutdown at +160°C.
Technical Context
The AP64352SP-13 employs fixed-frequency peak current mode control with internal slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle. Its integrated loop compensation eliminates external Type-II/III networks, reducing BOM count while maintaining stability across 0.8V–39V output range.
EMI mitigation combines two hardware-level techniques: a multi-level gate driver that suppresses SW node ringing without degrading edge rates, and Frequency Spread Spectrum (FSS) with ±6% switching frequency jitter to disperse conducted/radiated noise energy across a broader spectrum.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 3.8V to 40V DC - supports direct connection to 5V, 12V, 24V, and 36V industrial bus rails without pre-regulation. |
| IOUT Max | 3.5A continuous - delivers full rated current at 85°C ambient with SO-8EP package and proper PCB copper area. |
| VFB Accuracy | 0.8V ±1% (792–808mV) - enables precise output voltage setting via resistive divider with <±1.5% total error at 25°C. |
| fSW Range | 100kHz to 2.2MHz - selectable via RT resistor or external clock; 500kHz typical with 200kΩ sets optimal efficiency/size trade-off. |
| IQ (PFM) | 22µA typical - sustains >85% efficiency at 5mA load, critical for always-on IoT and battery-backed systems. |
| RDS(ON) HS/LG | 75mΩ / 45mΩ - low conduction loss enables high efficiency (>90% at 1A, 12V→5V) and reduced thermal stress. |
| OVP Threshold | +10% over target - fast high-side turn-off prevents damage during load dump or transient overshoot events. |
| TSD | +160°C with +25°C hysteresis - latches off until junction cools, protecting against sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
AP64352SP-13 is housed in an SO-8EP (exposed pad) thermally enhanced package. The exposed pad (Pin 9) must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for thermal performance (θJA = 45°C/W) and electrical stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST (1) | High-side gate drive boost supply | Requires 100nF ceramic capacitor to SW; enables full enhancement of 75mΩ high-side MOSFET across input range. |
| VIN (2) | Main power input | Accepts 3.8V–40V; must be bypassed with ≥10µF low-ESR capacitor near pin to suppress switching noise and sustain current delivery. |
| EN (3) | Enable control with UVLO programming | Logic-high threshold = 1.18V; internal 1.5µA pull-up allows floating startup; external resistor divider adjusts VIN UVLO points. |
| RT/CLK (4) | Frequency programming & sync input | Connect 200kΩ to GND for 500kHz; accepts 100kHz–2.2MHz external clock for system-level timing alignment. |
| FB (5) | Output voltage feedback sensing | Compares divided output to 0.8V reference; sets VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2); tolerates ±6V max input. |
| SS (6) | Soft-start timing control | Internal 4µA current charges external capacitor; 10nF yields ~2ms ramp time, limiting inrush into downstream capacitance. |
| GND (7) | Power and signal ground reference | Common return for control logic, feedback, and power stage; must connect directly to exposed pad for thermal and noise integrity. |
| SW (8) | Switching node output | Drives external LC filter; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout; connects to BST capacitor and inductor. |
| EXPOSED PAD (9) | Thermal and electrical ground path | Electrically tied to GND; mandatory solder connection to inner/outer ground planes for θJC = 5°C/W and EMI suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated MOSFETs | 75mΩ HS + 45mΩ LS enable single-chip 3.5A buck conversion - eliminates external FETs, drivers, and bootstrap diodes. |
| FSS EMI Reduction | ±6% frequency jitter spreads spectral energy, lowering peak radiated emissions by up to 10dB compared to fixed-frequency operation. |
| Ringing-Free Gate Driver | Proprietary multi-level drive damps SW node oscillation without slowing edges - preserves efficiency while meeting CISPR 32 Class B limits. |
| Low-IQ PFM Mode | 22µA quiescent current enables >85% efficiency at 5mA load - extends runtime in standby or sensor-monitoring states. |
| Programmable UVLO | EN pin's 4µA hysteresis current source allows custom rising/falling VIN thresholds (e.g., 24V ON / 22V OFF) using two external resistors. |
| Robust Protection Suite | Includes cycle-by-cycle OCP (5.75A peak), OVP (+10%), thermal shutdown (+160°C), and UVLO - reduces need for external supervision ICs. |

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 | 3A rating, 4.5V–36V input, no FSS, higher IQ (45µA), requires external compensation. | Lacks EMI features and light-load efficiency; suitable only where cost is primary and EMI testing is waived. | Choose only if input range ≤36V and system-level EMI filtering is already implemented. |
| LM61480RQR | 4A rating, 3.5V–36V input, integrated FSS, but larger QFN-16 package and no programmable UVLO. | Higher current capability but less flexible input sequencing; requires more PCB area and lacks EN-based UVLO tuning. | Select when >3.5A is needed and board space permits larger footprint; avoid if UVLO customization is required. |
Compared with MP2451DT-LF-Z and LM61480RQR, AP64352SP-13 uniquely balances wide 40V input, EMI-hardened design, UVLO programmability, and SO-8EP compactness - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial applications needing robust EMC compliance.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended input voltage for reliable startup?
The AP64352SP-13 has a guaranteed undervoltage lockout (UVLO) rising threshold of 3.5V and hysteresis of 400mV. Startup is reliable down to 3.7V input, but operation below 3.8V violates recommended conditions and may cause intermittent regulation or premature shutdown.
Can the AP64352SP-13 operate without an external soft-start capacitor?
No - the SS pin requires an external ceramic capacitor (e.g., 10nF) to control ramp rate. Without it, the internal 4µA current source pulls SS to VCC uncontrolled, causing unregulated output voltage rise and potential inrush damage to downstream capacitors or ICs.
How does the Frequency Spread Spectrum (FSS) function interact with external clock synchronization?
FSS is disabled when an external clock is applied to RT/CLK. The device synchronizes precisely to the incoming clock signal (100kHz–2.2MHz) and operates at fixed frequency. FSS only activates in resistor-timed mode to reduce EMI during standalone operation.
Is the exposed thermal pad electrically isolated or must it be grounded?
The exposed pad is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to a PCB ground plane. Leaving it floating causes thermal runaway, degraded EMI performance, and potential functional failure - per Diodes' layout guidelines, it is not optional or isolatable.
