Product details
Overview
AP1118S25L-13 from Anachip Corp. is a 1A positive low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 2.5V output, TTL/CMOS-compatible enable input, and 1.4V maximum dropout at full load. It delivers stable voltage for low-voltage ICs including 3.3V logic supplies and high-speed bus termination, housed in lead-free SOP-8L package.
For engineers reviewing the AP1118S25L-13 datasheet, AP1118S25L-13 pinout, AP1118S25L-13 application, or AP1118S25L-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under 1.4V at 1A, ±2% output voltage accuracy at 10mA, thermal shutdown protection, and EN logic compatibility with internal 100kΩ pull-down.
Technical Context
The AP1118S25L-13 integrates a PNP pass transistor and precision bandgap reference to maintain regulation across 0–1A load and input voltages up to 18V. Its enable function supports system-level power sequencing by disabling output when EN >1.6V (logic high).
Designed for low-noise, low-ripple applications, it achieves 60–70dB ripple rejection at 120Hz with 25µF tantalum output capacitor and exhibits fast transient response-±40mV deviation during 100mA–1A load steps with 100µF output capacitance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.500 V ±2% at 10mA, ensuring compatibility with 2.5V logic families and ADC references |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.4 V max at 1A load, enabling operation with only 3.9V input for regulated 2.5V output |
| Load Regulation | 20–25 mV over 0–1A, limiting output shift to <1% full-scale under dynamic load |
| Ripple Rejection | 60–70 dB at 120Hz, suppressing AC noise from upstream switching supplies |
| Enable Threshold | Logic low ≤0.8V enables output; logic high ≥1.6V disables output with 100kΩ internal pull-down |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at TJ ≥150°C, protecting device during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Quiescent Current | ≤80 µA at VEN=2.0V, minimizing standby power in always-on subsystems |
Pinout & Package
SOP-8L package: surface-mount, 8-pin plastic small-outline package with exposed thermal pad (pin 5 connected to VOUT tab); footprint compatible with JEDEC MS-012AC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOUT | Main regulated output; requires ≥10µF capacitor to ground for stability |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 3 | EN | Enable control input; TTL/CMOS-compatible with internal 100kΩ pull-down to GND |
| 4 | VIN | Input supply; must exceed VOUT + 1.3V to maintain regulation |
| 5 | VOUT (Tab) | Internally connected to output pin; serves as primary thermal path to PCB copper |
| 6–8 | VOUT | Additional output pins for current sharing and reduced trace resistance; all tied internally |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Dropout Operation | 1.4V max at 1A enables use with 3.9V input for 2.5V rail-critical for battery-powered systems |
| Fast Transient Response | ±40mV output deviation during 100mA→1A load step ensures signal integrity in burst-mode digital loads |
| Built-in Thermal Shutdown | Auto-recovery after cooldown prevents latch-up and enables unattended operation in enclosed enclosures |
| Output Current Limiting | 1.1A minimum current limit protects downstream circuitry during short-circuit events |
| Good Noise Rejection | 70dB ripple rejection at 120Hz allows clean analog supply generation from noisy DC/DC sources |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP2112K-2.5 | 0.6V dropout at 600mA; 0.8µA quiescent current; SOT-23-5 package; no EN pin | Limited to ≤600mA loads; unsuitable for 1A bus termination; lacks enable control for power sequencing | Select only for ultra-low-IQ portable applications with sub-600mA loads and no sequencing requirement |
| MCP1700T-2502E/TT | 250mA max output; 175mV dropout at 250mA; SOT-23 package; EN pin present | Inadequate for 1A VGA or peripheral loads; designed for microcontroller core rails, not high-current analog rails | Use only for low-power MCU I/O or sensor bias where 250mA suffices and space is critical |
Compared with AP2112K-2.5 and MCP1700T-2502E/TT, the AP1118S25L-13 uniquely supports 1A continuous output with 1.4V dropout and integrated EN-making it the sole option among the three for high-current, enable-controlled 2.5V regulation in PC peripherals and industrial interfaces.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP1118S25L-13 to regulate at 2.5V?
The input voltage must exceed 3.8V to ensure regulation, as the device requires at least 1.3V headroom above VOUT. At full 1A load, the maximum dropout is 1.4V, so 3.9V input guarantees stable 2.5V output per datasheet specifications.
Can AP1118S25L-13 be used without an external output capacitor?
No. A minimum 10µF capacitor is mandatory between VOUT and GND for loop stability, as stated in the Pin Descriptions section. Omitting it risks oscillation and output voltage instability, especially under dynamic load conditions.
Is the thermal pad (Pin 5) electrically isolated or connected internally?
Pin 5 is the exposed thermal pad and is internally connected to VOUT, not GND or floating. It must be soldered to a large copper pour tied to the VOUT net to ensure proper heat dissipation and electrical continuity.
Does the EN pin require an external pull-up or pull-down resistor?
No external resistor is needed-the EN pin has an internal 100kΩ pull-down to GND. Leaving EN unconnected results in logic-low state and enabled output; a logic-high signal (>1.6V) is required to disable the regulator.
