Product details
Overview
AP1115AY33G-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 0.6A low-dropout positive fixed-mode voltage regulator delivering a stable 3.3V output with ≤1.3V dropout at full load, 60–70dB ripple rejection at 120Hz, and thermal shutdown protection. It operates from 4.8V to 12V input and targets low-voltage IC power rails including high-speed bus termination and VGA card logic supplies.
For engineers reviewing the AP1115AY33G-13 datasheet, AP1115AY33G-13 pinout, AP1115AY33G-13 application, or AP1115AY33G-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 3.3V ±1% output accuracy at 10mA, 26–33mV load regulation over 0–0.6A, SOT89-3L thermal resistance (θJA = 164°C/W), and compatibility with 100µF output capacitors (ESR 0.15–20Ω).
Technical Context
The AP1115AY33G-13 implements a fixed-output linear regulation architecture with internal reference (1.25V typ), error amplifier, and PNP pass transistor. Its control loop ensures fast transient response-demonstrated by <100µs recovery in load step tests-and maintains regulation down to 5mA minimum load current.
It features built-in current limiting (≥0.7A) and thermal shutdown triggered at +150°C junction temperature. The device requires no external compensation and achieves 0.6–0.8% temperature stability over 0–125°C operating range, validated under pulsed test conditions to isolate heating effects.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.300V ±1% at 10mA, 4.8–12V input; enables precise 3.3V logic rail without external resistors |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.1V typ / 1.3V max at 0.6A; allows operation with only 4.6V input for regulated 3.3V output |
| Ripple Rejection | 60–70dB at 120Hz with 25µF tantalum output cap; suppresses AC noise from upstream switching supplies |
| Load Regulation | 26–33mV over 0–0.6A load; ensures stable voltage across dynamic current demands in peripheral circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 164°C/W (SOT89-3L, FR-4, 2oz Cu); limits junction rise to ~100°C at 0.6A with 25°C ambient |
| Quiescent Current | 5–10mA minimum load required; defines lowest usable current before regulation loss |
| Line Regulation | 0.2% max over VIN range; rejects input supply variations without affecting output accuracy |
Pinout & Package
SOT89-3L package with exposed tab (Pin 3) electrically connected to VIN; thermally enhanced for PCB heat dissipation. Pin 1 is Adj (GND), Pin 2 is VOUT, Pin 3 is VIN - matching AP1115A configuration per datasheet top-view diagram.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1: Adj (GND) | Ground reference terminal | Internal ground node; must be connected directly to system GND plane for stable regulation |
| Pin 2: VOUT | Regulated output terminal | Delivers 3.3V; requires ≥10µF capacitor (0.15–20Ω ESR) to ground for loop stability |
| Pin 3: VIN | Input supply terminal | Accepts 4.8–12V; must remain ≥1.3V above VOUT during transients; tab connection improves thermal path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 3.3V output | Eliminates external resistor network; reduces BOM count and layout area for standard logic rail |
| Fast transient response | Sub-100µs recovery from 0.1–0.6A load steps; maintains signal integrity in burst-mode peripherals |
| Built-in thermal shutdown | Activates at +150°C junction temperature; prevents catastrophic failure during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | RoHS 2 compliant (2011/65/EU); Br/Cl <1500ppm total, Sb <1000ppm; meets green electronics requirements |
| Low-noise regulation | 60–70dB ripple rejection enables clean power for noise-sensitive analog interfaces on same board |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP2112K-3.3TRG1 | 0.6A rated, 300mV typical dropout, SOT-23-5 package, higher quiescent current (60µA vs 10mA) | Lower thermal mass; unsuitable for >0.3A continuous loads without heatsinking | Select when board space is constrained and peak load <0.4A; verify θJA derating at target ambient |
| MCP1700T-3302E/TT | 250mA rated, 175mV dropout, SOT-23-3, no thermal shutdown, 1.5% output tolerance | Limited current capacity; lacks overtemperature protection for sustained fault conditions | Use only in low-power sensor nodes where 250mA suffices and thermal risk is mitigated externally |
Compared with AP1115AY33G-13, AP2112K-3.3TRG1 trades thermal robustness for footprint reduction, while MCP1700T-3302E/TT sacrifices safety features and current capability for ultra-low IQ-neither matches the 0.6A/1.3V-dropout/thermal-shutdown combination in SOT89-3L.

FAQ
Is AP1115AY33G-13 still in production?
No. Diodes Incorporated discontinued the AP1115 series in April 2016, as confirmed in DS31026 Rev. 6-4. AP1115AY33G-13 is obsolete with no second-source or replacement part issued by the manufacturer. Aetrix Electronics offers remaining genuine stock with full traceability.
What is the correct pin configuration for AP1115AY33G-13?
AP1115AY33G-13 uses the AP1115A pinout: Pin 1 = Adj (GND), Pin 2 = VOUT, Pin 3 = VIN. The metal tab is internally connected to VIN, not GND-this is critical for thermal and electrical layout. Confirmed via top-view diagram in DS31026 page 1.
Can AP1115AY33G-13 replace adjustable AP1115 variants?
No. AP1115AY33G-13 is factory-trimmed for fixed 3.3V output and lacks the ADJ pin functionality. Its internal feedback network is hardwired; connecting external resistors will not adjust voltage and may disrupt regulation or trigger current limiting.
What output capacitor is required for stability?
A minimum 10µF capacitor with ESR between 0.15Ω and 20Ω must be placed from VOUT to GND. Diodes recommends 100µF tantalum (as shown in typical application circuits) to ensure phase margin and dampen load transients-ceramic caps alone may cause oscillation due to low ESR.
