Product details
Overview
AP1115AY35G-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 0.6A low-dropout positive voltage regulator in fixed 3.5V output mode, housed in an SOT89-3L package with lead-free and halogen-free "Green" compliance. It delivers stable regulation with ≤1.3V dropout at full load, supports input up to 18V, and targets low-voltage logic supplies including VGA card power rails and high-speed bus termination.
For engineers reviewing the AP1115AY35G-13 datasheet, AP1115AY35G-13 pinout, AP1115AY35G-13 application, or AP1115AY35G-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 3.5V output accuracy (±1.4% at 10mA), thermal shutdown protection, fast transient response for dynamic loads, and compatibility with 10µF–100µF output capacitors having 0.15–20Ω ESR.
Technical Context
The AP1115AY35G-13 operates in fixed-output configuration with internal resistor divider setting VOUT = 3.5V (typical), requiring no external feedback components. Its control architecture uses a PNP pass transistor enabling low dropout and fast load-step recovery without external compensation.
It integrates current limiting (≥0.7A), thermal shutdown (TJ > +150°C), and ripple rejection of 60–70dB at 120Hz. Input-to-output differential must exceed 1.3V under 0.6A load to maintain regulation, and minimum load current is 5–10mA across –25°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.500V ±1.4% (2.5V–5V range supported only in adjustable version; this part is factory-trimmed fixed 3.5V) |
| Max Dropout Voltage | 1.3V at 0.6A load - enables stable 3.5V output from as low as 4.8V input supply |
| Output Current | 0.6A continuous - sufficient for powering multiple 3.3V/3.5V logic ICs or small FPGA I/O banks |
| Ripple Rejection | 60–70dB at 120Hz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 164°C/W (FR-4, 2oz Cu) - requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal management at full load |
| Load Regulation | ±28–35mV (0–0.6A) - ensures <1% output deviation across full current range at 5V input |
| Line Regulation | 0.2% - maintains tight output stability despite ±1V input variation within operating range |
Pinout & Package
SOT89-3L package: surface-mount, 3-terminal, thermally enhanced plastic case with exposed tab connected to VIN (Pin 3) per AP1115B pinout variant. Tab is electrically active and must be soldered to PCB copper for thermal performance and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1: Adj (GND) | Ground reference / adjust node | Internally tied to ground in fixed-mode variants like AP1115AY35G-13; serves as return path for internal bandgap reference |
| Pin 2: VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers 3.5V ±1.4%; requires ≥10µF capacitor (0.15–20Ω ESR) to ground for stability |
| Pin 3: VIN | Input supply | Accepts 5V–18V DC; must remain ≥1.3V above VOUT during transients; tab connection improves thermal dissipation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 3.5V output | Factory-trimmed precision eliminates external resistor network, reducing BOM count and layout area |
| Fast transient response | Sub-100µs recovery from 50% load steps - critical for burst-mode digital loads on VGA or peripheral interfaces |
| Built-in thermal shutdown | Activates at TJ ≥ +150°C and auto-recovers upon cooling - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Lead-free & Green compliant | Meets RoHS 2 (2011/65/EU) and halogen/antimony limits (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb) - suitable for eco-sensitive industrial and computing applications |
| Low quiescent current | Typical 5–10mA minimum load requirement - compatible with standby modes where downstream logic draws microamp-level current |
Applications
| VGA Graphics Card Power | PCI Express Peripheral Supply |

FAQ
Is AP1115AY35G-13 still in production?
No - Diodes Incorporated officially discontinued the AP1115 series as of April 2016. This part is obsolete with no direct replacement offered by the manufacturer. Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy stock for design continuity and repair programs but does not guarantee future availability.
What is the difference between AP1115A and AP1115B pinouts?
AP1115A uses Pin 1 = VOUT, Pin 2 = Adj/GND, Pin 3 = VIN; AP1115B uses Pin 1 = Adj/GND, Pin 2 = VIN, Pin 3 = VOUT. The AP1115AY35G-13 follows the AP1115B configuration, with the exposed tab electrically connected to VIN (Pin 3), requiring correct PCB pad routing to avoid shorting.
Can AP1115AY35G-13 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes - the datasheet specifies stability with 10µF–100µF capacitors having ESR between 0.15Ω and 20Ω. Standard X5R/X7R ceramics (ESR ~10–50mΩ) may cause instability unless a 1–2Ω damping resistor is added in series with the capacitor, or a hybrid capacitor (ceramic + tantalum) is used per Diodes' recommended layout.
Does AP1115AY35G-13 support adjustable output via external resistors?
No - the "Y35" suffix denotes factory-trimmed fixed 3.5V output. Only the AP1115ADJ variant (no voltage suffix) supports external resistor programming. Attempts to modify AP1115AY35G-13's output using external feedback will fail because the Adj pin is internally grounded and not connected to the error amplifier.
