Product details
Overview
AUR9705AGD from Diodes Incorporated is a synchronous step-down DC-DC converter delivering up to 1A output current with adjustable output voltage (1V–3.3V), 1.5MHz fixed switching frequency, and integrated PMOS/NMOS power switches. It operates across 2.5V–5.5V input range, features automatic PWM/LDO mode switching, and targets portable power rails in space-constrained applications such as mobile phone baseband ICs and camera sensor supplies.
For engineers reviewing the AUR9705AGD datasheet, AUR9705AGD pinout, AUR9705AGD application, or AUR9705AGD equivalent, key selection criteria include feedback voltage (600mV), thermal shutdown threshold (+160°C), quiescent current (100μA), and package-specific layout requirements for WDFN-2×2-6 with exposed pad.
Technical Context
The AUR9705AGD employs constant-frequency peak-current-mode control with internal oscillator and compensation, eliminating external timing capacitors. Its dual-MOSFET synchronous rectification architecture enables high efficiency without an external Schottky diode.
It integrates soft-start, under-voltage lockout (1.8V rising threshold with 0.1V hysteresis), and thermal shutdown protection. The device automatically transitions between PWM and LDO modes to maintain regulation at light loads while minimizing quiescent current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1A maximum continuous - supports single-core application processors and image sensors requiring stable low-noise 1.2V/1.8V rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz typical - enables use of compact 2.2μH inductors and 10μF ceramic output capacitors in handheld PCB layouts. |
| Feedback Voltage | 600mV ±15mV - sets output via resistor divider; allows precise 1.0V–3.3V adjustment with <±3% total output accuracy over load/line/temp. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), USB VBUS (4.75–5.25V), and regulated 3.3V/5V system rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 100μA typical at zero load - minimizes battery drain during standby in always-on subsystems like Bluetooth audio receivers. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C junction temperature - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design without requiring external thermal monitoring. |
| PMOS/NMOS RDS(ON) | 0.25Ω / 0.27Ω at 200mA - reduces conduction loss and improves full-load efficiency (>90% at 5V→3.3V/1A). |
Pinout & Package
Package: WDFN-2×2-6 with exposed thermal pad (pin 6 = LX, pin 5 = GND, pin 4 = FB, pin 3 = EN, pin 2 = VIN, pin 1 = NC). Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No internal connection | Floating or tied to GND per layout best practice; no functional role in operation or biasing. |
| 2 (VIN) | Power supply input | Primary input rail (2.5–5.5V); requires local 4.7μF low-ESR ceramic capacitor placed within 3mm of pin. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic signal (1.5V min high, 0.6V max low); controls startup/shutdown sequence and soft-start initiation. |
| 4 (FB) | Feedback node | Connects to resistor divider output; regulates output by comparing to 600mV internal reference; sensitive to noise coupling. |
| 5 (GND) | Power ground reference | System ground return for NMOS switch and error amplifier; must be low-impedance path to minimize switching noise injection. |
| 6 (LX) | Switch node | Drives external inductor; carries high di/dt square wave (0V to VIN); requires short, wide copper trace and tight loop with COUT. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous buck topology | Integrated PMOS/NMOS switches eliminate external Schottky diode, reducing BOM count and improving efficiency by ~8% at 1A. |
| Automatic PWM/LDO mode switching | Maintains regulation down to microamp loads without burst-mode noise; avoids audible switching artifacts in audio-sensitive circuits. |
| Internal compensation network | Removes need for external compensation components; simplifies design validation and ensures stability with standard 2.2μH/10μF output filter. |
| Low dropout at 100% duty cycle | Supports VOUT ≥ VIN − 0.3V in LDO mode - enables near-lossless regulation when input drops close to output (e.g., 3.3V→3.0V). |
| Soft-start timing | Internally controlled ramp (typ. 1ms) limits inrush current into output capacitor, preventing input rail collapse during power-up. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2158GQZ-P | Higher 2MHz switching frequency; 0.6V feedback; 0.8A rating; QFN-8 package with different pinout. | Limited to 0.8A output; requires re-layout due to 8-pin QFN footprint and relocated LX/GND pins. | Select when board space permits larger package and higher frequency enables smaller magnetics, but verify thermal margin at 1A-equivalent load. |
| TPS62231DRVR | 1.8V–6.5V input; 0.6V feedback; 0.6A rating; 2.5MHz operation; TSOT-23-6 package. | Lower current capability and narrower input range; unsuitable for 2.5V input or 1A sustained loads. | Consider only for lower-power companion rails where 0.6A suffices and 2.5MHz allows ultra-compact LC filters. |
Compared with MP2158GQZ-P and TPS62231DRVR, the AUR9705AGD uniquely balances 1A output, 2.5V minimum input, and WDFN-2×2-6 thermal performance - making it optimal for space- and battery-life-constrained portable designs where full 1A capability is required at low VIN.

FAQ
What is the recommended PCB layout for thermal performance with AUR9705AGD?
The WDFN-2×2-6 package requires the exposed pad (EP) to be soldered to a minimum 25mm² copper pour connected to GND via ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter, spaced ≤1mm apart). VIN and LX traces must be wide and short; FB trace should be routed away from noisy nodes and guarded by GND on both sides to prevent regulation error.
Can AUR9705AGD operate with input voltage below 2.5V?
No. The absolute minimum recommended input voltage is 2.5V per datasheet Section 4. The UVLO threshold is 1.8V (rising), but stable operation-including full 1A output and regulation accuracy-is only guaranteed from 2.5V to 5.5V. Operation below 2.5V may cause premature UVLO triggering or degraded efficiency.
How does the automatic PWM/LDO mode switching affect output voltage accuracy?
During LDO mode (light loads), the device maintains regulation using the same 600mV feedback reference and error amplifier, preserving ±3% output accuracy. The transition occurs seamlessly at ~10mA load, with no step change in VOUT-verified by load transient plots showing <20mV deviation during mode crossing.
Is the NC pin (Pin 1) required to be grounded in the WDFN-2×2-6 package?
No. Pin 1 is internally unconnected and may be left floating or tied to GND per PCB routing convenience. Diodes Incorporated's layout guidelines do not mandate grounding; however, connecting it to GND improves mechanical anchoring and provides minor EMI shielding benefit without affecting functionality.
