Product details
Overview
AP1115BY15G-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 0.6A low-dropout positive fixed-mode voltage regulator with 1.5V output, SOT89-3L package, <1.3V dropout at full load, and integrated thermal shutdown - designed for stable 1.5V supply in VGA cards and high-speed bus termination circuits.
For engineers reviewing the AP1115BY15G-13 datasheet, AP1115BY15G-13 pinout, AP1115BY15G-13 application, or AP1115BY15G-13 equivalent, key selection factors include guaranteed 1.5V ±3% output accuracy at 10mA, 1.1V typical dropout at 0.6A, 60dB ripple rejection at 120Hz, and SOT89-3L thermal resistance of 164°C/W.
Technical Context
The AP1115BY15G-13 operates in fixed-output mode (1.5V) with internal reference and error amplifier driving a PNP pass transistor. It requires no external feedback resistors and maintains regulation with input as low as VIN = VOUT + 1.3V.
Its fast transient response stems from low output impedance and optimized internal compensation. Thermal shutdown activates at TJ ≥ +150°C, and current limiting protects against short-circuit conditions without requiring external foldback circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.500V ±3% at 10mA, ensuring compatibility with 1.5V logic rails and DDR memory termination |
| Max Dropout Voltage | 1.3V at 0.6A load, enabling operation from 2.8V input to deliver regulated 1.5V output |
| Ripple Rejection | 60dB at 120Hz with 25µF tantalum output capacitor, suppressing AC noise on sensitive analog/digital supplies |
| Load Regulation | 12mV over 0–0.6A load range at VIN = 3V, minimizing voltage sag during dynamic current draw |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 164°C/W (FR-4, 2oz Cu, recommended pad layout), defining maximum power dissipation under natural convection |
| Quiescent Current | 5–10mA minimum load requirement to maintain regulation, critical for standby-mode stability |
Pinout & Package
SOT89-3L package with exposed tab (Pin 2 = VIN, Pin 1 = Adj/GND, Pin 3 = VOUT); tab electrically connected to VIN for enhanced thermal conduction to PCB copper pour.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Adj/GND) | Ground reference / adjust node | Internally tied to GND in fixed-mode variants; must be connected to system ground for stability and thermal shutdown reference |
| Pin 2 (VIN) | Input supply terminal | Accepts 3V to 18V DC input; requires ≥100µF low-ESR capacitor to prevent sag during 0.6A transients |
| Pin 3 (VOUT) | Regulated output terminal | Delivers 1.5V ±3%; requires ≥10µF output capacitor (0.15–20Ω ESR) for loop stability and transient response |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 1.5V output | Eliminates external resistor divider, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity in space-constrained VGA card designs |
| Built-in thermal shutdown | Automatically disables output when junction temperature exceeds +150°C, preventing damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Fast transient response | Stabilizes within microseconds after 0.6A load step, maintaining <±40mV deviation per typical load transient plots |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | Meets RoHS 2 (2011/65/EU) and Diodes' "Green" standard (<900ppm Br, <900ppm Cl, <1000ppm Sb), supporting environmental compliance programs |

FAQ
What is the correct pin configuration for AP1115BY15G-13?
The AP1115BY15G-13 uses the 'B' pin version: Pin 1 = Adj/GND, Pin 2 = VIN, Pin 3 = VOUT. The metal tab is electrically connected to Pin 2 (VIN), not ground - this must be routed to the input plane for thermal performance and electrical safety.
Can AP1115BY15G-13 be used in adjustable mode?
No. The 'Y15' suffix denotes fixed 1.5V output; internal feedback resistors are trimmed and non-accessible. Only AP1115A or AP1115B variants with 'ADJ' marking support external resistor adjustment - this part is factory-configured for 1.5V only.
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation?
Minimum input is VOUT + dropout voltage = 1.5V + 1.3V = 2.8V at full 0.6A load. At lighter loads, dropout decreases (e.g., 1.1V typical at 0.6A), allowing reliable regulation down to ~2.6V input under nominal conditions.
Is AP1115BY15G-13 still in active production?
No. Per Diodes' DS31026 Rev. 6-4 (April 2016), AP1115 is marked OBSOLETE – PART DISCONTINUED with no alternate part offered. Aetrix Electronics provides last-time-buy inventory and traceable legacy stock for ongoing maintenance and repair programs.
