Product details
Overview
AP1118D90L-13 from Anachip Corp. is a 1A positive low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 9.0V output, TTL/CMOS-compatible enable function, ≤1.4V dropout at full load, and thermal shutdown protection. It delivers stable voltage for low-voltage ICs in PC peripherals and communication modules operating from up to 18V input.
For engineers reviewing the AP1118D90L-13 datasheet, AP1118D90L-13 pinout, AP1118D90L-13 application, or AP1118D90L-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under 1A load, EN logic polarity, thermal resistance (102°C/W for TO252-5L), output accuracy (±2%), and lead-free SOP-8L package compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
The AP1118D90L-13 uses internal PNP pass transistor architecture with built-in current limiting and thermal shutdown circuitry. Its enable pin features an internal ~100kΩ pull-down resistor, ensuring default-on operation when left floating.
Designed for fixed-output regulation only, it requires ≥10µF output capacitance for stability and supports input voltages from (VOUT + 1.3V) up to 18V. Load regulation is specified at 70–90mV across 0–1A output current at 12V input differential.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 9.0V ±2% (8.82–9.18V) at 10mA, 25°C - ensures stable supply for 9V logic or analog subsystems |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤1.4V at 1A load - enables regulation from as low as 10.4V input, critical for battery-backed or wide-input systems |
| Output Current | 1A maximum continuous - sufficient for powering multiple ICs on a peripheral board without external boost |
| Enable Input Logic | TTL/CMOS compatible: <0.8V = ON, >1.6V = OFF - interoperable with standard microcontroller GPIOs |
| Ripple Rejection | 60–70dB at 120Hz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 102°C/W (TO252-5L) - defines max power dissipation (≈1.5W at 50°C ambient) before thermal shutdown triggers |
Pinout & Package
AP1118D90L-13 is packaged in lead-free TO252-5L (DPAK) surface-mount format with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 = Vin, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = EN, Pin 4 = Vout (tab), Pin 5 = Vout (pin). Tab is electrically connected to Vout and serves as primary thermal path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Vin) | Input supply connection | Must be ≥10.4V for regulation; requires bulk capacitor to prevent sag during 1A transients |
| Pin 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path for all internal circuits; must connect directly to power plane |
| Pin 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Open or pulled low = output enabled; pulled high ≥1.6V = output disabled (high-Z) |
| Pins 4 & 5 (Vout) | Regulated output terminals | Both pins and metal tab deliver 9.0V; tab provides thermal conduction and current path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast transient response | Load step recovery within 200µs (100mA→1A), minimizing voltage dip on digital logic rails |
| Built-in thermal shutdown | Activates at ~150°C junction temperature, latching off until cool-down - prevents permanent damage during overload |
| Output current limiting | Guaranteed ≥1.1A foldback limit - protects against short-circuit while maintaining safe power dissipation |
| Good noise rejection | 70dB ripple suppression at 120Hz - maintains clean 9V supply for sensitive analog front-ends or PLLs |
Applications
| PC Peripheral Power | Communication Module Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC29302WU-9.0 | Higher dropout (0.4V typ. @ 1A), lower quiescent current (15mA), TO263-5 package | Better efficiency at light loads; less suitable for 10.4V min input due to higher dropout margin | Select if input headroom >10.8V and low IQ is critical |
| LD1085V90 | 1.5A rating, 1.3V dropout (max), TO220-3 package, no enable pin | Lacks EN control and thermal foldback; requires external shutdown circuitry for sequencing | Select if enable function is unnecessary and higher current headroom is needed |
Compared with MIC29302WU-9.0 and LD1085V90, AP1118D90L-13 uniquely combines TTL-compatible enable, 102°C/W thermal resistance in DPAK, and guaranteed ≤1.4V dropout - making it optimal for space-constrained, sequenced 9V rail designs where input voltage may dip near 10.4V.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP1118D90L-13 to regulate at 9.0V output?
The datasheet specifies that Vin must be at least 1.3V higher than Vout for proper regulation. For the 9.0V output version, this means Vin ≥ 10.3V. At full 1A load, dropout is guaranteed ≤1.4V, so 10.4V is the practical minimum to ensure regulation across temperature and tolerance.
Can AP1118D90L-13 be used without an external output capacitor?
No. The datasheet mandates a minimum 10µF capacitor from Vout to GND for stability. Omitting it risks oscillation or poor transient response. Tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors are recommended; ceramic types require series ESR ≥30mΩ to avoid instability.
Is the metal tab on the TO252-5L package electrically isolated?
No. The tab is internally connected to the Vout pin and serves as both the primary output terminal and thermal conduction path. It must be soldered to a copper pour tied to the 9V net and not shorted to ground or other potentials.
Does the EN pin have internal pull-up or pull-down resistance?
The EN pin has an internal ~100kΩ pull-down resistor. When left unconnected (open), the pin defaults to logic low, enabling the output. A logic high (>1.6V) is required to disable the regulator; no external pull-up is needed for default-on operation.
