AP3844CMTR-E1

Diodes Incorporated · AC-DC Controllers & Regulators · SOIC-8

AP3844CMTR-E1 from Diodes Incorporated, in a SOIC-8. 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 COMP output Error amplifier output, made available for loop compensation, with a rated error amplifier output sink current of 10 mA maximum.
2 VFB input Inverting input of the error amplifier, normally connected to the switching power supply output through a resistor divider, with an input voltage of 2.45 V to 2.55 V at pin 1 = 2.5 V.
3 ISENSE input Input carrying a voltage proportional to inductor current that the PWM uses to terminate output switch conduction, with a maximum input signal of 0.9 V to 1.1 V (1 V typical).
4 RT/CT passive Oscillator timing pin where resistor RT connects to VREF and capacitor CT connects to ground to program the oscillator frequency and maximum duty cycle, with operation to 500 kHz possible.
5 GND power_in Combined control circuitry and power ground, which is the reference for all voltages on the device.
6 OUTPUT output Directly drives the gate of a power MOSFET, sourcing and sinking peak currents up to 1.0 A.
7 VCC power_in Positive supply of the control IC, with an absolute maximum supply voltage of 30 V.
8 VREF power_out Reference output that provides 5.00 V typical (4.90 V to 5.10 V at TA = 25 °C, IREF = 1 mA) and supplies charging current for CT through RT.
