Product details
Overview
AP1154ADL33 from Asahi Kasei Microdevices is a 3.3 V, 1 A low-dropout linear regulator in HSOP-8 package with ON/OFF control, ±1.5% output voltage accuracy, 160 mV dropout at 500 mA, and programmable current limiting via external resistor. It supports USB power delivery (500 mA) and integrates thermal shutdown, short-circuit protection, and reverse-bias overcurrent protection.
For engineers reviewing the AP1154ADL33 datasheet, AP1154ADL33 pinout, AP1154ADL33 application, or AP1154ADL33 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal behavior across -40°C to +85°C, stability guidance for 1 μF ceramic output capacitors, and real-world load/line transient response data per JEDEC JESD78.
Technical Context
The AP1154ADL33 employs a monolithic bipolar LDO architecture with internal reference trimming and active pass transistor control. Its dropout voltage remains stable across temperature (160–385 mV at 500 mA, -40°C to +85°C), and its quiescent current stays low (320–624 μA) even under no-load conditions.
ON/OFF control is high-active (VCONT ≥ 1.8 V = ON), with built-in 500 kΩ pull-down. Output current limit is set externally via RPCL-to-GND resistor (100 Ω to 10 kΩ), enabling precise peak current tuning from ~150 mA to 1400 mA at VIN = VOUT(typ) + 1 V and TA = 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.300 V (±1.5% or ±50 mV tolerance; trimmed during production) |
| Max Output Current | 1 A continuous; peak up to 1400 mA before thermal foldback |
| Dropout Voltage | 160 mV at 500 mA (25°C); ≤385 mV across full operating temperature range |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.4 V to 14.0 V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive supply rails |
| Ripple Rejection | 80 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters |

Pinout & Package
AP1154ADL33 uses the HSOP-8 surface-mount package (high heat radiation, 52°C/W θJA on standard PCB), optimized for space-constrained applications requiring thermal robustness without heatsinks.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5 | No Connect (NC) | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
| 2 | VOUT | Main regulated output; requires ≥1 μF ceramic capacitor to GND (≥2.2 μF if VOUT < 2.4 V) |
| 3 | PCL | Programmable current limit terminal; connect external resistor to GND to set IOUT,PEAK (100–10 kΩ → 150–1400 mA) |
| 4 | GND | Power ground reference; low-impedance return path for load and internal protection circuits |
| 6 | VCONT | High-active enable input; ≥1.8 V = ON, ≤0.35 V = OFF; includes 500 kΩ internal pull-down |
| 7 | VIN | Unregulated input; requires ≥1 μF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability |
| 8 | NC | No Connect - not bonded; leave floating or unpopulated |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ESR capacitor support | Stable with 1 μF ceramic output cap - eliminates need for tantalum or electrolytic |
| Programmable current limit | External resistor sets precise IOUT,PEAK threshold - avoids overdesigning current-limiting circuitry |
| Reverse bias protection | Blocks reverse current flow when VIN = 0 V and VOUT > 0 V - prevents backfeeding into source |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for AP1154ADL33 across temperature?
The AP1154ADL33 guarantees ±1.5% output voltage accuracy (±49.5 mV at 3.3 V) over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, as confirmed in Table 3 of the datasheet. This includes line and load regulation effects, ensuring stable 3.3 V delivery under varying input and load conditions without external trimming.
Can AP1154ADL33 operate with a 1 μF output capacitor at 3.3 V output?
Yes - the AP1154ADL33 is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with a 1.0 μF ceramic output capacitor at VOUT = 3.3 V. Section 11.8 confirms stable operation down to 0.47 μF, and the recommended minimum is 1.0 μF for VOUT ≥ 2.4 V, making AP1154ADL33 compatible with compact, low-ESR ceramic capacitors.
How does the PCL terminal function in AP1154ADL33, and what resistor value sets 500 mA current limit?
The PCL terminal in AP1154ADL33 accepts an external resistor to GND to program the output current limit. Per Figure 22 and Section 11.7, a 2.2 kΩ resistor sets IOUT,PEAK ≈ 500 mA at VIN = VOUT(typ) + 1 V and TA = 25°C. The AP1154ADL33 datasheet provides a full RPCL vs. IOUT,PEAK curve for precise tuning.
Does AP1154ADL33 include reverse current protection, and how is it implemented?
Yes - AP1154ADL33 integrates reverse bias overcurrent protection. When VIN = 0 V and VOUT > 0 V (e.g., backfeed from downstream circuitry), the device limits reverse current to ≤1.5 μA (max) at VREV = VOUT(typ), preventing damage to upstream sources and ensuring safe hot-swap operation.
What is the thermal shutdown threshold and recovery behavior of AP1154ADL33?
The AP1154ADL33 activates thermal shutdown at approximately 145°C junction temperature and automatically recovers once TJ falls below the hysteresis threshold (~135°C). This behavior is documented in Section 11.9 and validated by the 2400 mW power dissipation rating at TA = 25°C with derating of 19.2 mW/°C above ambient.
