Product details
Overview
AP1153ADS33 from Asahi Kasei Microdevices is a 3.3V, 100mA low-dropout linear regulator in SOT23-5 package with ON/OFF control, ±1.5% output voltage accuracy, 160mV dropout at full load, and integrated thermal/short-circuit/reverse-bias protection. It powers space-constrained battery-powered systems requiring stable low-noise 3.3V supply.
For engineers reviewing the AP1153ADS33 datasheet, AP1153ADS33 pinout, AP1153ADS33 application, or AP1153ADS33 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.1–14.0V input range, 75μA quiescent current, 80dB ripple rejection at 1kHz, 0.22μF minimum ceramic output capacitor support, and noise-bypass (NP) terminal for ultra-low-noise operation.
Technical Context
The AP1153ADS33 uses a bipolar monolithic structure with internal bandgap reference and active control circuitry to regulate output voltage. Its ON/OFF function is high-active, with built-in 500kΩ pull-down resistor on VCONT and guaranteed switching thresholds of VCONT > 1.8V (ON) and VCONT < 0.35V (OFF).
Stability is ensured with ≥0.22μF ceramic output capacitance; the NP pin accepts 0.001–0.1μF bypass capacitors to reduce output noise-measured at 38μVrms (typ.) at 3.0V output-and enables optimization for low-noise applications without oscillation risk.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.300V ±1.5% (3.217–3.383V over –40°C to +85°C), trimmed during production for precision point-of-load regulation |
| Max Output Current | 100mA continuous; limited by thermal dissipation-supports 150mA peak under short-term transient conditions |
| Dropout Voltage | 160mV at 100mA load (typ.), enabling regulation from 3.46V input for 3.3V output-critical for battery-powered systems near end-of-life |
| Quiescent Current | 75μA at zero load, minimizing standby power loss in always-on or intermittently active devices |
| Ripple Rejection | 80dB at 1kHz, 70dB at 10kHz-suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO |
| Noise Performance | 38μVrms (typ.) with 1.0μF COUT and 0.01μF CNP, meeting low-noise analog/RF supply requirements |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.1V to 14.0V-compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), dual-cell alkaline (2.4–3.2V), and automotive 12V rails with transient suppression |
Pinout & Package
AP1153ADS33 is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 surface-mount package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCONT | ON/OFF Control Input | High-active enable; internal 500kΩ pull-down ensures default OFF state; requires ≥1.8V to activate regulator |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for input, output, and control circuits; must be low-impedance for stability and noise performance |
| NP | Noise Bypass Terminal | Connects external capacitor (0.001–0.1μF) to GND to suppress internal reference noise-directly lowers output voltage noise floor |
| VOUT | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 3.3V to load; requires ≥0.22μF ceramic capacitor (low ESR) for loop stability across temperature and voltage range |
| VIN | Unregulated Input | Accepts 2.1–14.0V supply; benefits from ≥0.47μF ceramic input capacitor when source impedance is high or trace length is long |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small footprint | SOT23-5 package (2.9 × 1.6 mm) enables placement in tight spaces-ideal for wearables and compact modules |
| Low-noise regulation | NP pin supports configurable noise filtering; 38μVrms output noise meets analog sensor and RF front-end requirements |
| Robust protection suite | Integrated thermal shutdown, short-circuit current limiting (200mA), and reverse-bias overcurrent protection prevent field failures |
| Wide-input compatibility | 2.1–14.0V operating range supports diverse sources-from coin cells to automotive 12V-without external pre-regulation |
| Minimal external components | Stable with only 0.22μF ceramic output capacitor; eliminates need for tantalum or electrolytic types and reduces BOM count |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3302E/TT | 3.3V fixed, 250mA output, 1.6μA quiescent current, SOT23-5-but no NP pin or reverse-bias protection | Lacks noise-bypass capability and reverse-bias protection; suited for ultra-low-IQ applications where noise is secondary | Select if lowest possible standby current is required and noise/robustness are not primary concerns |
| Torex XC6206P332MR-G | 3.3V fixed, 150mA output, 3μA IQ, SOT23-5-but no NP pin, lower ripple rejection (65dB @ 1kHz), no reverse-bias protection | Optimized for minimal quiescent current in energy-harvesting systems; lacks noise tailoring and automotive-grade robustness | Choose for batteryless or energy-harvested designs where 3μA IQ outweighs noise and protection needs |
Compared with MCP1700T-3302E/TT and XC6206P332MR-G, the AP1153ADS33 uniquely combines 3.3V precision regulation, NP-driven ultra-low-noise operation, and comprehensive protection-including reverse-bias current limiting-making it optimal for automotive and noise-sensitive embedded systems where reliability and signal integrity are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for AP1153ADS33 across temperature?
The AP1153ADS33 guarantees output voltage within ±1.5% (±50mV) over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C, with typical output of 3.300V and min/max bounds of 3.217V and 3.383V respectively per Table 5 in the datasheet. This precision is achieved through laser-trimmed internal reference circuitry.
Can AP1153ADS33 operate with a 0.22μF output capacitor, and what type is recommended?
Yes, AP1153ADS33 is fully stable with a 0.22μF ceramic output capacitor-the minimum value specified for all output voltages (1.3–5.0V) across temperature and voltage ranges. X5R or X7R dielectric ceramic capacitors are recommended; avoid high-ESR types like tantalum, which may cause instability or oscillation.
What is the function of the NP pin on AP1153ADS33, and how should it be used?
The NP (Noise Bypass) pin on AP1153ADS33 connects to an external capacitor (0.001–0.1μF) to ground, directly reducing internal bandgap reference noise and lowering output voltage noise-measured at 38μVrms (typ.) with 0.01μF. Increasing CNP further reduces noise but slows VCONT turn-on response time.
Does AP1153ADS33 include reverse-bias protection, and under what conditions does it activate?
Yes, AP1153ADS33 integrates reverse-bias overcurrent protection that activates when VOUT exceeds VIN-a condition common during hot-swap or battery replacement. For VOUT ≤ 2.0V, maximum reverse voltage is 6V; for VOUT ≥ 2.1V, it is 12V. This prevents damage and uncontrolled current flow into the input rail.
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for AP1153ADS33, and what happens beyond that limit?
The absolute maximum input voltage for AP1153ADS33 is 16V (per Absolute Maximum Ratings). Operation above 14.0V-the recommended maximum-is not guaranteed and risks permanent damage. Exceeding 16V violates absolute ratings and may cause junction breakdown, irreversible degradation, or catastrophic failure even with brief exposure.
