Diodes Incorporated AL17051 Step-Down Converter
All the features to support always-on requirements of IoT connectivity
The AL17051 by Diodes Incorporated is a universal AC, high-voltage input, step-down converter that provides accurate 3.3V or 5V output, with dynamic performance and load regulation without requiring an optocoupler.
Typical applications include supplying power for offline low-power IoT (internet of things) devices that support WPAN (wireless personal area network) connectivity. To support always-on requirements of IoT connectivity, the AL17051 features an ultralow standby operation power of 10mW.
The AL17051 achieves a high 60% conversion efficiency at 50mA output current, and 50% at 10mA light loading during idle and sleep modes for IoT systems. With a high-degree of integration, including a 700V high-voltage MOS switch, the device is designed to reduce external components and minimize e-BOM (bill of materials) with a small form-factor package and PCB space. The part has rich protection features to enhance system safety and reliability.
The converter has overtemperature protection, VCC undervoltage lock-out function, overcurrent protection, and overload protection. The AL17051 comes in two variants, a 3.3V output and a 5V output version. Both are available in the SOT25 package.
