AP1501A-12K5G-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 | Operating voltage input (4.5V to 40V operating range); needs a suitable input bypass capacitor to minimize voltage transients and supply switching currents. |
| 2 | Output | output | Switching output of the internal 5A switch, swinging between (+VIN - VSAT) and approximately -0.5V; keep PC board copper area on this pin to a minimum. |
| 3 | Gnd | power_in | Circuit ground. |
| 4 | FB | input | Output voltage feedback control that senses the regulated output voltage to complete the feedback loop (-0.3 to +40V). |
| 5 | SD | input | ON/OFF shutdown input: below approximately 1.3V the regulator is on, above 1.3V (up to 40V max) it shuts down to about 150µA; if unused, tie to ground or leave open. |
| 6 | EP | passive | Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table). |
