AP64500SP-13

Diodes Incorporated · DC-DC Converters · SO-8-EP

AP64500SP-13 from Diodes Incorporated, in a SO-8-EP. 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 High-Side Gate Drive Boost Input. BST supplies the drive for the high-side n-channel power MOSFET. A 100nF capacitor is recommended from BST to SW to power the high-side driver. Absolute max VBST = VSW - 0.3 to VSW + 6.0V.
2 VIN power_in Power Input. VIN supplies the power to the IC as well as the step-down converter power MOSFETs. Drive VIN with a 3.8V to 40V power source. Bypass VIN to GND with a suitably large capacitor to eliminate switching noise. Absolute max 42V DC.
3 EN input Enable Input. Digital input that turns the regulator on or off. Drive EN high to turn on and low to turn off. Connect to VIN or leave floating for automatic startup. Precision threshold of 1.18V for programming the UVLO.
4 RT/CLK bidirectional Resistor Timing and External Clock. Connect a resistor from RT/CLK to GND to set the internal oscillator frequency, or drive with an external clock (100kHz to 2.2MHz) to synchronize the internal oscillator via a PLL. If external clock edges stop, operation returns to resistor-based frequency programming.
5 FB input Feedback sensing terminal for the output voltage. Connect this pin to the resistive divider of the output. Internal reference is 0.8V ±1%.
6 COMP passive Compensation. Connect an external RC network to COMP to adjust the loop response of the internal error amplifier. See External Loop Compensation Design section for details.
7 GND power_in Power Ground. Return for internal circuitry and power stage.
8 SW power_out Power Switching Output. SW is the switching node that supplies power to the output. Connect the output LC filter from SW to the output load. Absolute max -0.3 to VIN+0.3V (DC).
9 EXPOSED PAD power_in Heat dissipation path of the die. The exposed thermal pad must be electrically connected to GND and must be connected to the ground plane of the PCB for proper operation and optimized thermal performance.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
ap64500sp-13.step 194 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
ap64500sp-13-etched.step 2.3 MB You want the part with AP64500SP-13 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 560 faces against 63 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.
