Product details
Overview
AP1118S50L-13 from Anachip Corp. is a 1A, 5.0V fixed-output positive low dropout linear regulator in SOP-8L package with TTL/CMOS-compatible enable (EN) function, 1.4V max dropout at full load, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and built-in thermal shutdown - designed for stable 3.3V/5V logic supply in PC peripherals and communication modules.
For engineers reviewing the AP1118S50L-13 datasheet, AP1118S50L-13 pinout, AP1118S50L-13 application, or AP1118S50L-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under 1A load, EN logic polarity (low-enable), thermal resistance (θJA = 150°C/W), output stability with ≥10µF capacitor, and lead-free SOP-8L packaging compliance.
Technical Context
The AP1118S50L-13 implements a PNP-based LDO architecture with internal current limiting and thermal foldback, supporting input voltages up to 18V while regulating 5.0V ±2% across 0–1A load range. Its EN pin features an internal ~100kΩ pull-down resistor, enabling default-on operation when left floating.
Designed for low-noise, high-transient-response applications, it delivers 70dB ripple rejection at 120Hz with 25µF tantalum output capacitance and maintains regulation down to 5mA minimum load current across –25°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.000 V ±2% (guaranteed over 10mA–1A, 25°C) |
| Max Dropout Voltage | 1.4 V at 1A load (enables regulation with VIN ≥ 6.4V) |
| Line Regulation | 0.2% (ensures <10mV output shift over VIN range) |
| Load Regulation | 33 mV (max deviation from 0–1A load change) |
| Ripple Rejection | 70 dB at 120Hz (suppresses input ripple for clean digital supply) |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 150 °C/W (SOP-8L, no heatsink; limits power dissipation to ~0.6W at 50°C ambient) |
| Enable Threshold | Logic Low ≤0.8V enables output; Logic High ≥1.6V disables output |
Pinout & Package
SOP-8L package: 8-pin surface-mount, exposed pad not electrically connected, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish. Tab is not used as thermal pad or electrical terminal in this variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vout | Main regulated 5.0V output; requires ≥10µF capacitor to ground for stability |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference; connects to PCB ground plane for noise control |
| 3 | EN | Enable input: TTL/CMOS-compatible; internal 100kΩ pull-down ensures default-on |
| 4 | Vin | Input supply (up to 18V); must exceed Vout by ≥1.3V for regulation |
| 5 | Vout | Redundant output pin; paralleled with Pin 1 for current sharing and lower impedance |
| 6 | Vout | Redundant output pin; paralleled with Pins 1 & 5 to reduce trace IR drop |
| 7 | Vout | Redundant output pin; provides additional current path and thermal relief |
| 8 | Vout | Redundant output pin; improves load transient response via distributed capacitance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout at full load | 1.4V max dropout enables 5V output from 6.4V input - critical for battery-powered or multi-rail systems |
| Fast transient response | ≤100µs recovery from 100mA→1A load step - sustains logic rail integrity during burst-mode operation |
| Built-in protection | Current limit (1.1A min) + thermal shutdown - eliminates need for external foldback circuitry |
| Noise-sensitive operation | 70dB ripple rejection + <2% output tolerance - meets tight margin requirements of 3.3V/5V FPGA I/O banks |
| Logic-compatible enable | EN pin accepts standard 0–3.3V/5V logic levels without level-shifting - simplifies host MCU interface |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP1117K50L-13 | 0.8A max output, TO-252-3 package, no EN pin, 1.25V dropout | Lacks enable control and 1A capability; limited to lower-power logic rails | Select only if board space permits DPAK and enable functionality is unnecessary |
| MIC29302WU | 3A output, TO-263-5 package, 0.4V dropout, adjustable or fixed 5V option | Higher current and lower dropout but larger footprint and higher quiescent current (10mA vs 80µA) | Prefer for high-current loads >1.2A or where input headroom is <6.4V |
Compared with AP1118S50L-13, AP1117K50L-13 trades enable control and current rating for smaller thermal footprint, while MIC29302WU offers higher drive capacity and lower dropout at the cost of size and static power - making AP1118S50L-13 optimal for compact, enable-aware 1A 5V applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP1118S50L-13 to regulate 5.0V?
The device requires Vin ≥ Vout + 1.3V to maintain regulation, so minimum valid input is 6.3V. At 1A load, dropout rises to 1.4V - meaning 6.4V is the practical minimum for full-load operation. Below this, output voltage sags proportionally to (Vin – Vout).
Can the EN pin be left unconnected?
Yes - the EN pin has an internal ~100kΩ pull-down resistor, so an open or floating EN pin defaults to logic low and enables the output. However, for noise immunity in high-EMI environments, tying EN to GND via a 10kΩ resistor is recommended.
Is an output capacitor mandatory, and what type is specified?
Yes - a minimum 10µF capacitor is required from Vout to GND for stability. The datasheet specifies tantalum or aluminum electrolytic types; ceramic capacitors may cause oscillation unless ESR is ≥30mΩ. For best transient response, 100µF tantalum is recommended.
Does AP1118S50L-13 support reverse-voltage or reverse-current protection?
No - the device lacks integrated reverse-voltage or reverse-current protection. If input can be disconnected while output remains biased (e.g., back-driving from downstream circuitry), an external series Schottky diode on Vin is required to prevent damage.
