Diodes Incorporated · DC-DC Converters · TO-263-5
AP1501A-50K5G-13 from Diodes Incorporated, in a TO-263-5. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | power_in | Positive input supply for the switching regulator, rated for 4.5 to 40V operation, and a suitable input bypass capacitor must be placed at this pin. |
| 2 | Output | output | Internal switch output that swings between (VIN - VSAT) and approximately -0.5V, so its PC board copper area should be kept to a minimum. |
| 3 | Gnd | power_in | Circuit ground for the IC. |
| 4 | FB | input | Senses the regulated output voltage to complete the feedback loop; the adjustable version uses a 1.23V feedback reference. |
| 5 | SD | input | ON/OFF shutdown input: pulling below about 1.3V turns the regulator on and pulling above 1.3V (up to a maximum of 40V) shuts it down; if unused, tie to ground or leave open to keep the regulator on. |
| 6 | EP | passive | Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table). |
