Product details
Overview
AP1086D50G-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 5.0V, 1.5A low dropout linear regulator in TO252-3L package with 1.4V max dropout at full load, ±1% output voltage tolerance, and integrated thermal shutdown. It delivers stable power for 3.3V/5V logic supplies, high-speed bus termination, and VGA card voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the AP1086D50G-13 datasheet, AP1086D50G-13 pinout, AP1086D50G-13 application, or AP1086D50G-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under 1.5A load, output stability with ≥10µF capacitor, thermal resistance (θJA = 101°C/W), and RoHS-compliant green molding compound.
Technical Context
The AP1086D50G-13 uses a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling 1.4V dropout at 1.5A while maintaining tight line regulation (≤0.2%) and load regulation (≤33mV at 3.3V output). Its internal 1.25V reference and feedback network fix output to 5.0V ±1% across 0–125°C junction temperature.
Stability relies on ≥10µF output capacitance; ripple rejection reaches 70dB at 120Hz with 25µF tantalum. Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C, and current limiting holds output at 1.6A minimum during overload.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V ±1% at 10mA, ensuring compatibility with 5V TTL/CMOS logic rails |
| Max Dropout Voltage | 1.4V at 1.5A load, enabling regulation from 6.5V input down to 5V output |
| Output Current | 1.5A continuous, supporting high-current peripherals like VGA DACs and bus terminators |
| Line Regulation | ≤0.2% over VIN = VOUT+1.5V to 12V, minimizing supply-induced output drift |
| Load Regulation | ≤50mV from 0 to 1.5A at 5V output, critical for dynamic load steps in graphics cards |
| Ripple Rejection | 70dB at 120Hz with 25µF tantalum, suppressing switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 101°C/W (TO252-3L, no heatsink), defining maximum power dissipation before thermal shutdown |
Pinout & Package
AP1086D50G-13 is housed in a surface-mount TO252-3L (DPAK) package with exposed thermal pad connected internally to VOUT. The tab serves as the output terminal and must be soldered to a PCB copper pour for thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: Adj (GND) | Ground reference for fixed-mode operation | Internally tied to GND when configured as 5.0V fixed output; not adjustable |
| 2: VOUT | Regulated output terminal | Delivers 5.0V; connects to thermal tab and requires ≥10µF output capacitor to ground for stability |
| 3: VIN | Input supply terminal | Accepts 6.5–12V input; must remain ≥1.4V above VOUT to maintain regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 5.0V output | Eliminates external resistor divider, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity for standard 5V rail generation |
| 1.4V dropout at 1.5A | Enables efficient conversion from 7–12V intermediate supplies without requiring higher input voltages |
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Protects against sustained overload or inadequate heatsinking by disabling output above 150°C junction temperature |
| Lead-free & RoHS-compliant | Meets EU Directive 2002/95/EC with green molding compound (no Br/Sb), suitable for environmentally regulated production |
| Fast transient response | Stabilizes within microseconds during 0→1.5A load steps, critical for burst-mode logic and GPU power domains |
Applications
| PCI Express Bus Termination | VGA Graphics Card Core Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP1117D50G-13 | Lower 1.0A output current; 1.3V dropout at 1.0A; same TO252-3L package | Suitable only for ≤1.0A 5V loads; insufficient for VGA card peak currents | Select when cost-sensitive designs require lower current and reduced thermal demand |
| TLV1117-50IDCYR | 1.0A output; 1.2V dropout at 1.0A; SOT-223 package; higher θJA (120°C/W) | Limited to low-power applications due to lower current rating and inferior thermal performance | Prefer for space-constrained boards where 1.0A suffices and TO252 footprint is unavailable |
Compared with AP1117D50G-13 and TLV1117-50IDCYR, AP1086D50G-13 uniquely supports 1.5A continuous load in TO252-3L with 1.4V dropout-enabling robust 5V rail generation for graphics and industrial I/O where higher current and thermal margin are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP1086D50G-13 to regulate 5.0V output?
The device requires VIN ≥ VOUT + 1.4V to maintain regulation, so minimum input is 6.4V. At full 1.5A load, 6.5V input is specified in datasheet testing; operation below this risks dropout and output collapse. Input must also stay within absolute max rating of 12V.
Can AP1086D50G-13 be used in adjustable mode?
No. AP1086D50G-13 is factory-configured as a fixed 5.0V output device. The "D50" suffix denotes fixed 5.0V; adjustable versions use "D" alone (e.g., AP1086D-13) and require external resistors on the ADJ pin. Pin 1 (Adj) is internally grounded in this variant.
What output capacitor is required for stability?
A minimum 10µF aluminum electrolytic or tantalum capacitor must be placed between VOUT and GND, located as close as possible to the device. For optimal transient response in VGA or PCIe applications, 100µF is recommended per typical application circuits in the datasheet.
Is thermal derating required for continuous 1.5A operation in TO252-3L?
Yes. With θJA = 101°C/W and max junction temperature of 150°C, continuous 1.5A operation at 5V output (5W dissipation) requires ambient ≤95°C without heatsink. For industrial environments >70°C, PCB copper pour or external heatsink is necessary to avoid thermal shutdown.
