AP5100WG-7

Diodes Incorporated · DC-DC Converters · SOT-26

AP5100WG-7 from Diodes Incorporated, in a SOT-26. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 BST passive Bootstrap. A capacitor (0.1µF to 1µF typical) connected between SW and BST forms a floating supply across the internal power switch driver, boosting the high-side MOSFET gate above the supply voltage.
2 GND power_in Ground reference for the regulated output voltage and all internal control circuits. Careful PCB layout is required to minimize noise coupling into this reference.
3 FB input Feedback input, nominally 0.81V. Connect to the output resistor divider (or directly to VOUT for 0.81V output) to set the regulated output voltage. Includes a frequency foldback comparator that lowers the oscillator frequency to ~480kHz when FB falls below 400mV during current limit.
4 EN input On/Off control input. Pull above 1.2V to enable the converter and below 0.4V to disable it. Do not leave floating; if unused, tie to VIN through a 100kΩ resistor.
5 IN power_in Supply voltage input, 4.75V to 24V (absolute maximum 26V). A local decoupling capacitor (C1) is required close to the pin to prevent large voltage spikes at the input.
6 SW power_out Switch output from the internal high-side MOSFET (RDS(on) ~0.35Ω, current limit ~2.4A). Connects to the external inductor and catch diode; also the reference return for the BST floating supply capacitor.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
ap5100wg-7.step 97 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
ap5100wg-7-etched.step 1.8 MB You want the part with AP5100WG-7 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 449 faces against 117 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
