AP5004SG-13 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AP5004SG-13 is a buck switching regulator IC manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, designed for positive adjustable output applications. This device operates as a step-down converter with a fixed output current of 2.5A and adjustable output voltage ranging from 0.8V to 6V. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility across input voltage range, output specifications, package form factor, and thermal operating conditions.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AP5004SG-13 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Criteria:

• Output topology: Buck (step-down) converter
• Output configuration: Positive adjustable
• Output voltage capability: Minimum 0.8V, maximum at least 6V
• Output current rating: 2.5A or greater
• Package form factor: 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width)
• Input voltage range: Must encompass or exceed 10V to 32V
• Mounting type: Surface Mount

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance
• REACH unaffected status
• ECCN classification: EAR99

The MP2467DN-LF-Z meets all mandatory criteria while offering enhanced specifications in input voltage range (6V to 36V), output voltage capability (0.8V to 30V), and switching frequency (500kHz). Both devices share identical package geometry and compliance certifications, enabling direct functional substitution in applications designed for the AP5004SG-13.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MP2467DN-LF-Z is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete AP5004SG-13. Both devices are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. The substitute part offers extended input voltage range (6V minimum versus 10V minimum) and broader output voltage capability (up to 30V versus 6V maximum), providing design flexibility for applications originally constrained by the AP5004SG-13 specifications. The MP2467DN-LF-Z maintains identical 2.5A output current and 8-SOIC package geometry, ensuring PCB layout compatibility. The substitute's active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MP2467DN-LF-Z directly replace the AP5004SG-13 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both devices use the 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) package with identical pin spacing and layout. The MP2467DN-LF-Z includes an exposed pad variant, which may provide improved thermal performance but does not prevent direct substitution on existing designs.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The MP2467DN-LF-Z offers wider input voltage range (6V to 36V versus 10V to 32V), higher maximum output voltage (30V versus 6V), higher switching frequency (500kHz versus 300kHz), and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -10°C to 85°C). The substitute part is currently in active production status.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The MP2467DN-LF-Z has improved moisture sensitivity rating (2A versus 3), indicating better moisture resistance during storage and handling.

Q: Does the higher switching frequency of the MP2467DN-LF-Z affect circuit design?

A: The 500kHz switching frequency of the substitute part is higher than the 300kHz of the main part. This may reduce output filter component sizes but does not prevent functional substitution. Existing filter designs for the AP5004SG-13 remain compatible with the MP2467DN-LF-Z.

Q: Is the exposed pad on the MP2467DN-LF-Z package significant?

A: The exposed pad provides enhanced thermal dissipation capability. For applications where the AP5004SG-13 operated within thermal limits, the exposed pad on the MP2467DN-LF-Z offers improved thermal performance without requiring design changes.
