Product details
Overview
AP1115BY50G-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 0.6A low-dropout positive fixed-mode voltage regulator with 5.0V output, SOT89-3L package, and guaranteed ≤1.3V dropout at full load. It delivers stable 5V supply for low-voltage ICs in VGA cards and high-speed bus termination, supporting input up to 18V.
For engineers reviewing the AP1115BY50G-13 datasheet, AP1115BY50G-13 pinout, AP1115BY50G-13 application, or AP1115BY50G-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 600mA, thermal shutdown behavior, output voltage accuracy over temperature, and SOT89-3 terminal configuration (Pin 1 = Adj/GND, Pin 2 = VIN, Pin 3 = VOUT).
Technical Context
The AP1115BY50G-13 operates in fixed-output mode with nominal 5.0V regulation, specified for 6.5V ≤ VIN ≤ 12V at 10mA load and maintaining stability with 100µF output capacitance (ESR 0.15–20Ω). Its internal bandgap reference ensures ±2.5% output tolerance over operating temperature (0°C to +125°C junction).
It integrates current limiting and thermal shutdown protection, with fast transient response optimized for dynamic loads typical in PC peripheral power rails. Dropout voltage remains ≤1.3V across full 0–600mA load range at TJ ≤ 125°C, enabling efficient operation from 6.5V input to deliver regulated 5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000V ±2% at 10mA, 6.5V ≤ VIN ≤ 12V - ensures compatibility with 5V logic and interface ICs requiring tight tolerance. |
| Max Dropout Voltage | 1.3V at 600mA - enables use with 6.5V minimum input while sustaining regulation under full load. |
| Output Current | 600mA continuous - sufficient for powering multiple low-power ICs on VGA or peripheral boards. |
| Ripple Rejection | 60–70dB at 120Hz - suppresses AC ripple from upstream switching supplies or noisy DC sources. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 164°C/W (no heatsink, FR-4, 2oz Cu) - defines maximum power dissipation limit (~5W at ΔT = 125°C) for board-level thermal design. |
| Load Regulation | 40–50mV (0–600mA) - maintains output stability during step-load transients in bus termination applications. |
| Quiescent Current | 5–10mA minimum load required - dictates minimum parallel leakage or bias current needed to sustain regulation. |
Pinout & Package
SOT89-3L package: thermally enhanced 3-pin surface-mount outline with exposed tab (VIN-connected per AP1115B variant), RoHS-compliant and halogen-free "Green" molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Adj/GND) | Ground reference / adjustment node | Internally tied to GND in fixed-mode; must be connected to system ground for proper regulation and thermal path conduction. |
| Pin 2 (VIN) | Input supply | Accepts 6.5–18V DC input; requires ≥100µF bulk capacitor with ESR 0.15–20Ω to prevent sag below dropout during transients. |
| Pin 3 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 5.0V ±2%; requires ≥100µF output capacitor (same ESR range) for loop stability and transient suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 5.0V output | Eliminates external resistor divider, reducing BOM count and layout area for dedicated 5V rail generation. |
| Built-in thermal shutdown | Activates at TJ ≥ 150°C to prevent permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Current limiting | Clamps output at ~0.7A (typical) to protect internal pass transistor and upstream source during short-circuit events. |
| Fast transient response | Stabilizes within microseconds after load steps - critical for bus termination where signal integrity depends on clean, fast-rising VCC. |
| Lead-free & Green packaging | SOT89-3L meets RoHS 2 and halogen/antimony-free standards (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb), supporting eco-compliant manufacturing. |
Applications
| VGA Graphics Card Power | PCI/PCIe Peripheral Supply |

FAQ
Is AP1115BY50G-13 still in active production?
No - Diodes Incorporated officially discontinued the AP1115 family as of April 2016, marking it obsolete with no replacement part offered. Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy stock for continuity support, but no new production runs are planned or available.
What is the correct pin configuration for AP1115BY50G-13?
AP1115BY50G-13 follows the AP1115B pinout: Pin 1 = Adj/GND (grounded internally in fixed mode), Pin 2 = VIN, Pin 3 = VOUT. The exposed tab is electrically connected to VIN, not GND - critical for thermal and electrical layout verification.
Can AP1115BY50G-13 be used with input voltages above 12V?
Yes - absolute maximum VIN is +18V, and the device is characterized for dropout performance up to that level. However, output voltage accuracy and thermal limits must be verified: at 18V input and 600mA load, power dissipation exceeds 7.8W, requiring aggressive heatsinking beyond standard SOT89-3L layout.
Does AP1115BY50G-13 require an external capacitor on the ADJ pin?
No - the "B" suffix denotes fixed-output mode, where the ADJ pin is internally connected to GND. No external resistors or capacitors are needed on Pin 1; it must be connected directly to system ground for reference stability and thermal conduction.
