Product details
Overview
AP1118S33L-13 from Anachip Corp. is a 1A low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 3.3V output, TTL/CMOS-compatible enable function, and 1.4V maximum dropout at full load. It delivers stable voltage for high-speed bus termination and low-current 3.3V logic supplies in PC peripherals and communication modules, operating with input up to 18V.
For engineers reviewing the AP1118S33L-13 datasheet, AP1118S33L-13 pinout, AP1118S33L-13 application, or AP1118S33L-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under 1.4V at 1A, thermal shutdown protection, ±1% output voltage accuracy at 10mA, and SOP-8L lead-free packaging compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes.
Technical Context
The AP1118S33L-13 integrates a PNP pass transistor with internal current limiting and thermal shutdown circuitry, enabling safe operation under overload and elevated junction temperatures. Its enable pin features an internal 100kΩ pull-down resistor, supporting logic-level control without external biasing.
Designed for fixed-output regulation, it achieves 60–70dB ripple rejection at 120Hz with 25µF tantalum output capacitance and maintains ≤33mV load regulation across 0–1A output current at 25°C ambient, with junction temperature range from 0°C to +150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.300V ±1% at 10mA, ensuring compatibility with 3.3V logic families (e.g., LVTTL, LVCMOS) |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤1.4V at 1A load, allowing regulation from as low as 4.7V input (3.3V + 1.4V) with 18V max input rating |
| Load Regulation | 26–33mV over 0–1A, minimizing output shift during dynamic current draw in digital subsystems |
| Ripple Rejection | 60–70dB at 120Hz, suppressing switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(LOW) ≤0.8V / VEN(HIGH) ≥1.6V, compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic control signals |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 150°C/W (SOP-8L, no heatsink), defining power derating limits in compact PCB layouts |
| Quiescent Current | ≤80µA at VEN = 2.0V, enabling low-power standby modes in always-on applications |
Pinout & Package
SOP-8L package: 8-pin surface-mount plastic IC with exposed thermal pad (pin 5 connected to VOUT tab), RoHS-compliant lead-free finish, JEDEC MS-012AC outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOUT | Main regulated output; requires ≥10µF capacitor to ground for stability; tab connection provides thermal path |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into regulation loop |
| 3 | EN | Active-low enable input; internal 100kΩ pull-down ensures default ON state when left floating or driven by open-drain logic |
| 4 | VIN | Input supply; must exceed VOUT by ≥1.3V to maintain regulation; decoupling capacitor required |
| 5 | VOUT (Tab) | Exposed thermal pad tied to output voltage; soldered to PCB copper pour for heat dissipation |
| 6–8 | VOUT | Additional output pins reduce trace resistance and improve current sharing; all electrically common with pin 1 and tab |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast transient response | ±40mV output deviation during 100mA–1A load steps (typical 100µs recovery), preserving signal integrity in burst-mode systems |
| Built-in thermal shutdown | Activates at TJ ≥150°C with hysteresis, preventing permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Output current limiting | Guaranteed 1.1A minimum current limit at 5V differential, protecting downstream circuits during short-circuit events |
| Good noise rejection | 60–70dB attenuation of 120Hz ripple enables clean supply for analog front-ends and clock buffers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC29302WU-3.3 | Higher dropout (0.4V typ. at 3A), TO-263-5 package, 0.1% initial accuracy | Supports higher output current (3A vs. 1A); requires larger PCB footprint and heatsinking | Select when >1A load or tighter initial accuracy is required; not drop-in due to pinout and thermal design differences |
| TPS76333DBVR | Lower quiescent current (85µA), SOT-23-5 package, 2% output tolerance | Rated for 150mA only; unsuitable for 1A applications without parallel configuration | Choose only for ultra-low-power, sub-150mA systems where SOP-8L footprint is not constrained |
Compared with MIC29302WU-3.3 and TPS76333DBVR, the AP1118S33L-13 offers optimal balance of 1A capability, SOP-8L compactness, and 1.4V dropout in cost-sensitive PC peripheral designs-where higher-current alternatives demand redesign, and lower-current options cannot meet load requirements.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP1118S33L-13 to regulate at full 1A load?
The device requires VIN ≥ VOUT + 1.3V to maintain regulation, so minimum input is 4.6V (3.3V + 1.3V). At full 1A load, dropout is guaranteed ≤1.4V per datasheet, meaning 4.7V input ensures stable 3.3V output. Input must not exceed 18V absolute maximum rating.
Can AP1118S33L-13 be used without an external output capacitor?
No. A minimum 10µF capacitor is required from VOUT to GND to ensure loop stability and prevent oscillation. The datasheet specifies this as mandatory; omitting it risks output instability, especially under transient loads or with long PCB traces.
How does the EN pin behave when left unconnected?
With internal 100kΩ pull-down resistor, an unconnected EN pin defaults to logic low (≤0.8V), enabling the output. This allows simple ON/OFF control: tie to GND for always-on, drive high (>1.6V) to disable, or leave floating for default enabled operation.
Is AP1118S33L-13 suitable for automotive applications?
No. It is specified for 0°C to +125°C operating junction temperature but lacks AEC-Q100 qualification, automotive-grade screening, or extended temperature range (−40°C to +125°C ambient). It is intended for commercial/industrial PC and communication equipment, not automotive ECUs or infotainment systems.
