Product details
Overview
AP1150ADS50 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 5.0 V, 200 mA low-dropout linear regulator with high PSRR (80 dB at 1 kHz), ±1.5% output voltage accuracy, and on/off control (high-active). It operates from 2.1 V to 14.0 V input, delivers 120 mV dropout at 100 mA, and supports stable regulation using only a 0.1 µF ceramic output capacitor - ideal for powering noise-sensitive RF and analog circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the AP1150ADS50 datasheet, AP1150ADS50 pinout, AP1150ADS50 application, or AP1150ADS50 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated SOT23-5 pin functions, confirmed low-noise LDO performance metrics, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for post-regulator, PLL supply, and precision sensor power use cases.
Technical Context
The AP1150ADS50 integrates a bandgap reference, error amplifier, and NMOS pass transistor in a feedback loop optimized for low-noise operation. Its dedicated NP (Noise Pass) terminal accepts an external bypass capacitor to enhance ripple rejection below 100 kHz without affecting stability.
On/off control is implemented via an internal 500 kΩ pull-down resistor on VCONT, requiring ≥1.8 V for enable and ≤0.35 V for shutdown. Thermal shutdown activates at ~150 °C, and over-current protection limits output short-circuit current to 360 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.000 V (±1.5% or ±50 mV tolerance over −40 °C to +85 °C) |
| Max Output Current | 200 mA continuous (limited by thermal dissipation; 320 mA pulsed) |
| Dropout Voltage | 120 mV at 100 mA load - enables efficient regulation with minimal VIN–VOUT headroom |
| Ripple Rejection | 80 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters |
| Quiescent Current | 63–100 µA (typical) - maintains ultra-low power draw in active state |
| Standby Current | ≤0.1 µA at VCONT = 0 V - enables true zero-load power-down mode |
| Noise Pass Terminal | NP pin accepts 0.001–0.1 µF capacitor to improve low-frequency PSRR and reduce output noise |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package (2.9 mm × 2.8 mm × 1.3 mm, JEDEC MO-178AA); thermally enhanced with exposed pad on PLP1822-6 variant - not applicable to AP1150ADS50.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VCONT | On/Off Control Input | High-active enable; internal 500 kΩ pull-down ensures safe default OFF state |
| 2 - GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for VIN, VOUT, and NP; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 3 - NP | Noise Bypass Terminal | Connects to GND via 0.001–0.1 µF capacitor to suppress 1/f noise and improve PSRR below 100 kHz |
| 4 - VOUT | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 5.0 V; supports 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor (≥0.22 µF recommended for full load stability) |
| 5 - VIN | Input Supply | Accepts 2.1–14.0 V; requires local 1.0 µF input capacitor to damp source impedance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-Low Noise Operation | NP terminal enables <65 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) with 0.01 µF CNP |
| High PSRR at Low Frequencies | 80 dB @ 1 kHz improves immunity to ripple from buck converter outputs |
| Minimal External Components | Stable with only CIN = 1.0 µF, CL = 0.1 µF (ceramic), CNP = 0.001 µF - reduces BOM count and board area |
| Robust Protection Suite | Integrated over-current limit (360 mA), thermal shutdown (~150 °C), and reverse-bias protection |
| Wide Input Voltage Range | 2.1–14.0 V operation supports single-cell Li-ion, 5 V rails, and 12 V industrial inputs |
Applications
| RF Power Supplies | PLL & VCO Biasing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-5002E/MB | 250 mA max output, 175 mV dropout at 250 mA, no NP terminal, 65 dB PSRR @ 1 kHz | Lacks noise-bypass capability; suitable for general-purpose 5 V logic rails but not RF/analog noise-critical paths | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs PSRR/noise requirements; verify stability with 1 µF ceramic CL |
| Torex XC6206P502MR-G | 150 mA max output, 160 mV dropout at 100 mA, no VCONT, 70 dB PSRR @ 1 kHz, no NP pin | Fixed ON operation only; insufficient current and PSRR for PLL/VCO or high-speed ADC use | Use only in space-constrained, low-power, non-noise-sensitive applications where enable control is unnecessary |
Compared with MCP1700T-5002E/MB and XC6206P502MR-G, the AP1150ADS50 uniquely combines 200 mA drive, 80 dB PSRR, on/off control, and the NP terminal - making it the only option among the three qualified for RF front-end and precision analog supply roles.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for AP1150ADS50 over temperature?
The AP1150ADS50 guarantees ±1.5% or ±50 mV output voltage accuracy across the full operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C, as confirmed in Table 3 of the datasheet. At 25 °C, the typical output is 5.000 V with min/max bounds of 4.925 V and 5.075 V. This tight tolerance ensures reliable biasing for precision analog and RF components without external trimming.
Can AP1150ADS50 operate stably with only a 0.1 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes - the AP1150ADS50 is explicitly characterized for stable operation with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor at VOUT ≥ 2.0 V, including the 5.0 V output of AP1150ADS50. However, the datasheet recommends ≥0.22 µF for full 200 mA load stability across all conditions. Using 0.1 µF is valid for light-to-moderate loads but may require verification under worst-case line/load transients.
What is the function of the NP pin on AP1150ADS50, and what capacitor value is recommended?
The NP (Noise Pass) pin on AP1150ADS50 connects to an external capacitor that shunts low-frequency noise to ground, improving PSRR below 100 kHz and reducing 1/f output noise. The datasheet specifies a standard value of 0.001 µF, but values up to 0.1 µF are supported and recommended for ultra-low-noise applications like VCO biasing or high-resolution ADC references.
Does AP1150ADS50 support true shutdown with near-zero quiescent current?
Yes - when VCONT is pulled to 0 V, the AP1150ADS50 enters standby mode with ISTANDBY ≤ 0.1 µA (max), effectively disabling the output and eliminating load current. This is confirmed in Section 10's Electrical Characteristics table and enables battery-powered systems to achieve multi-year shelf life without leakage-induced drain.
How does the dropout voltage of AP1150ADS50 vary with load current and temperature?
The AP1150ADS50 dropout voltage is 120 mV at 100 mA and 200 mV at 200 mA (25 °C), rising to 270 mV at 100 mA over −40 °C to +85 °C per Table 3. Its NMOS pass device ensures monotonic increase with load and temperature - critical for maintaining regulation in thermally constrained or high-current edge cases such as burst-mode sensor readouts.
