Product details
Overview
AP1115BY28L-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 0.6A low-dropout positive fixed-mode voltage regulator with 2.8V output, SOT89-3L package, <1.3V dropout at full load, and integrated thermal shutdown - designed for stable 2.8V supply in VGA cards and low-current logic applications.
For engineers reviewing the AP1115BY28L-13 datasheet, AP1115BY28L-13 pinout, AP1115BY28L-13 application, or AP1115BY28L-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed dropout ≤1.3V at 600mA, fixed 2.8V output accuracy (±1.2% at 10mA), SOT89-3L thermal resistance (θJA = 164°C/W), and compatibility with 100µF output capacitors (ESR 0.15–20Ω).
Technical Context
The AP1115BY28L-13 operates in fixed-output mode (2.8V) with internal reference voltage of 1.25V and precision resistor divider network. It uses PNP pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout and fast transient response to load steps up to 600mA.
Regulation relies on feedback from VOUT to internal error amplifier; input voltage must exceed VOUT by ≥1.3V for proper operation. Built-in current limiting and thermal shutdown activate at ~150°C junction temperature, ensuring safe operation under overload or ambient stress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.800V ±1.2% at 10mA (ensures stable 2.8V rail for I/O interfaces) |
| Max Dropout Voltage | 1.3V at 600mA (enables regulation from 4.3V input down to 2.8V output) |
| Output Current | 0.6A continuous (supports moderate-power peripherals without external boost) |
| Ripple Rejection | 60–70dB at 120Hz (suppresses AC ripple from switching supplies feeding VIN) |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 164°C/W (requires minimal PCB copper area for 0°C–125°C operation) |
| Load Regulation | 22–28mV over 0–600mA (maintains tight voltage control across dynamic loads) |
| Quiescent Current | 5–10mA minimum load required (prevents regulation loss at light loads) |
Pinout & Package
SOT89-3L package with exposed tab for thermal conduction; lead-free, halogen-free "Green" construction per Diodes Inc. specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1: Adj (GND) | Ground reference / adjustment node | Internally tied to GND in fixed-mode; serves as feedback reference point for output voltage setting |
| Pin 2: VIN | Input supply connection | Must be ≥4.3V (2.8V + 1.3V dropout) and decoupled with ≥100µF capacitor (ESR 0.15–20Ω) |
| Pin 3: VOUT | Regulated output terminal | Delivers 2.8V ±1.2%; requires ≥10µF output capacitor (ESR 0.15–20Ω) for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 2.8V output | Eliminates external resistor network; reduces BOM count and layout complexity for dedicated 2.8V rails |
| Fast transient response | Stabilizes within microseconds during 100mA–600mA load steps - critical for bus termination transients |
| Built-in thermal shutdown | Activates at ~150°C junction temperature, preventing permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Low-noise regulation | 60–70dB ripple rejection enables clean power delivery to noise-sensitive analog or mixed-signal ICs |
| SOT89-3L "Green" package | Halogen- and antimony-free molding compound (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb) meets strict environmental compliance requirements |
Applications
| VGA Graphics Card Power | PCI Express I/O Interface |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP1115BY28L-13 to regulate at full 0.6A load?
The AP1115BY28L-13 requires VIN ≥ 4.3V (2.8V + 1.3V max dropout) to maintain regulation at 600mA. Below this, output voltage collapses linearly with input; datasheet guarantees regulation only when VIN exceeds VOUT by ≥1.3V under full load.
Can AP1115BY28L-13 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, but only if ESR is ≥0.15Ω - standard X7R/X5R ceramics typically have ESR <0.05Ω and may cause instability. Use low-ESR tantalum (10–100µF, 0.15–20Ω ESR) or add a 1Ω series resistor to ceramic caps to meet stability requirements.
Is AP1115BY28L-13 pin-compatible with other SOT89-3 LDOs like AP2112 or MIC5205?
No - AP1115BY28L-13 uses Pin 1 = Adj(GND), Pin 2 = VIN, Pin 3 = VOUT (B-version). AP2112 and MIC5205 follow different pinouts (e.g., VIN-GND-VOUT or VIN-VOUT-GND), making direct replacement impossible without PCB redesign.
Does AP1115BY28L-13 support adjustable output via external resistors?
No - the "Y28" suffix denotes fixed 2.8V output. Only the AP1115A-ADJ variant (no voltage code) supports adjustable operation using external R1/R2 resistors between VOUT, Adj, and GND. The BY28 version has internal resistor network permanently set to 2.8V.
