Product details
Overview
AP1115AYL-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 0.6A low-dropout positive voltage regulator in fixed 3.3V output mode, housed in a lead-free SOT89-3L package. It delivers stable regulation with ≤1.3V dropout at full load, supports input voltages up to 18V, and targets low-voltage IC supply applications including high-speed bus termination and VGA card power rails.
For engineers reviewing the AP1115AYL-13 datasheet, AP1115AYL-13 pinout, AP1115AYL-13 application, or AP1115AYL-13 equivalent, key selection factors include guaranteed 3.3V ±1% output accuracy at 10mA–600mA, thermal shutdown protection, fast transient response for logic supply stability, and compatibility with 100µF tantalum/low-ESR output capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP1115AYL-13 operates as a fixed-output linear regulator with internal reference (1.25V) and error amplifier driving a PNP pass transistor. Its architecture enables <1.3V dropout across the full 0–600mA load range while maintaining ±1% load regulation and 60–70dB ripple rejection at 120Hz.
It integrates current limiting and thermal shutdown circuitry, with junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 164°C/W on standard FR-4 PCB layout. The device requires no external compensation and stabilizes with ≥10µF output capacitance (0.15–20Ω ESR).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.300V ±1% at 10mA–600mA, ensuring logic-level compliance for 3.3V systems |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.1V typical / 1.3V max at 600mA, enabling operation with only 4.6V input for 3.3V output |
| Load Regulation | ≤33mV over 0–600mA, minimizing voltage sag during dynamic current steps |
| Ripple Rejection | 60–70dB at 120Hz, suppressing input supply noise from switching converters |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 164°C/W (no heatsink, FR-4, 2oz Cu), defining maximum power dissipation before thermal shutdown |
| Quiescent Current | 5–10mA minimum load required for regulation, compatible with standby modes |
| Operating Junction Temp | 0°C to +125°C, supporting industrial ambient temperature requirements |
Pinout & Package
SOT89-3L package: 3-pin surface-mount outline with exposed tab (Pin 3), footprint per AP02001, RoHS-compliant and halogen-free "Green" molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1: Adj (GND) | Ground reference / adjust node | Internally connected to GND in fixed-mode; used for resistor divider feedback in adjustable variants |
| Pin 2: VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers 3.3V output; requires ≥10µF capacitor (0.15–20Ω ESR) to ground for stability |
| Pin 3: VIN | Unregulated input | Accepts 4.8–18V DC; must remain ≥1.3V above VOUT to maintain regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 3.3V output | Eliminates external feedback resistors, reducing BOM count and layout area |
| Fast transient response | Stabilizes within microseconds during load steps-critical for bus termination and logic supply integrity |
| Built-in thermal shutdown | Activates at +150°C junction temperature, preventing damage during overload or poor heatsinking |
| Output current limiting | Clamps output at ~0.7A, protecting both regulator and downstream circuitry during short-circuit events |
| Low-noise regulation | 60–70dB ripple rejection enables clean power delivery without additional LC filtering |
Applications

FAQ
Is AP1115AYL-13 still in active production?
No-AP1115AYL-13 is officially obsolete and discontinued by Diodes Incorporated as of April 2016. Aetrix Electronics holds remaining authorized inventory with full traceability, but no new manufacturing or second-source options exist. Customers are advised to evaluate long-term design alternatives early.
What is the difference between AP1115A and AP1115B pinouts?
AP1115A uses Pin 1 = VOUT, Pin 2 = Adj(GND), Pin 3 = VIN; AP1115B swaps Pins 1 and 2: Pin 1 = Adj(GND), Pin 2 = VIN, Pin 3 = VOUT. AP1115AYL-13 is an AP1115A variant, confirmed by its marking code "JM" (3.3V fixed) and ordering suffix "A" in Diodes' documentation.
Can AP1115AYL-13 replace AP1117-3.3?
No-AP1115AYL-13 and AP1117-3.3 differ in dropout (1.3V vs 1.2V), thermal resistance (164°C/W vs 120°C/W), and pinout (SOT89-3 vs SOT223). AP1117-3.3 has higher current capability (1A) and different thermal pad connection. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign and validation.
What output capacitor is required for stability?
A minimum 10µF output capacitor with ESR between 0.15Ω and 20Ω is mandatory. Diodes recommends 100µF tantalum (as shown in typical application circuits) or low-ESR aluminum polymer capacitors. Ceramic capacitors alone are insufficient due to excessively low ESR causing instability.
