Product details
Overview
AP130-15YG-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed 1.5V, 300mA low-dropout linear regulator in SOT89-3L package with 400mV dropout at full load, 50µA quiescent current, and ±2% output voltage accuracy. It integrates PMOS pass element, thermal shutdown, and current-limit protection for battery-powered peripherals and embedded I/O rails.
For engineers reviewing the AP130-15YG-13 datasheet, AP130-15YG-13 pinout, AP130-15YG-13 application, or AP130-15YG-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 300mA, stability with 10µF output capacitance, thermal resistance (θJA = 100°C/W), and compatibility with SC59/SOT23/SOT89 footprint variants.
Technical Context
The AP130-15YG-13 uses a PMOS pass transistor with 1.5Ω RON, eliminating base drive current and enabling ultra-low quiescent current (50µA typical). Its error amplifier and bandgap reference maintain ±2% output accuracy across -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature.
Internal current limit (350–450mA) and thermal shutdown protect against fault conditions; short-circuit fold-back limits output current to 150–300mA when VOUT < 1.05V. PSRR reaches 58dB at 100Hz with 1µF input and 10µF output capacitors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5V ±2% - ensures stable core voltage for low-power microcontrollers and sensors |
| Max Output Current | 300mA - supports single-rail I/O or logic supply in compact peripherals |
| Dropout Voltage | 400mV @ 300mA - enables operation down to 1.9V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 2xAA systems |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA typical - minimizes standby power loss in always-on battery applications |
| PSRR | 58dB @ 100Hz - suppresses ripple from noisy switchers or shared DC/DC outputs |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 100°C/W (SOT89-3L, no heatsink) - defines maximum power dissipation (300mW) at 85°C ambient |
| Protection Features | Current limit + thermal shutdown + short-circuit fold-back - prevents latch-up or thermal runaway during overload |
Pinout & Package
SOT89-3L package: 3-pin surface-mount, 4.5mm × 2.5mm body, 1.5mm height, exposed thermal pad (pin 2), RoHS-compliant green molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 1.5V to load; requires ≥10µF ceramic capacitor to ground for stability |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference & thermal path | Primary return path and main thermal conduction route to PCB copper; must connect to large ground plane |
| 3 (IN) | Unregulated input | Accepts 2.7–5.5V input; minimum headroom = 400mV at 300mA for regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PMOS pass element | Zero gate-drive current enables 50µA IQ independent of load - extends battery life in sleep modes |
| Fast transient response | Stabilizes within 10µs after 100mA load step - maintains voltage integrity for burst-mode processors |
| Load regulation | ±30mV over 1–300mA load range - eliminates need for post-regulation filtering in precision analog rails |
| Green packaging | SOT89-3L with halogen-free, RoHS-compliant molding compound - meets IPC-1752A environmental compliance |
| Thermal shutdown threshold | Activated at ~150°C junction temperature - provides fail-safe protection without external circuitry |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Wireless Sensor Node | USB-Powered Peripheral Interface |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1502E/TT (Microchip) | 250mA max output, 170mV dropout @ 250mA, 1.6µA IQ - lower IQ but reduced current capability | Best for ultra-low-power sub-200mA sensor nodes where 300mA headroom is unnecessary | Select when standby current dominates design priority and load never exceeds 250mA |
| TPS7A2015PDBVR (TI) | 300mA, 175mV dropout @ 300mA, 6.5µA IQ, 70dB PSRR @ 100kHz - superior noise rejection and efficiency | Preferred for noise-sensitive signal chains or higher-frequency switching environments | Choose when PSRR >58dB or dropout <400mV is required, accepting higher cost and different footprint |
Compared with MCP1700T-1502E/TT and TPS7A2015PDBVR, the AP130-15YG-13 delivers balanced performance: sufficient 300mA current with robust thermal protection in legacy-compatible SOT89-3L, making it ideal for cost-sensitive industrial peripherals where moderate PSRR and proven reliability outweigh ultra-low IQ or ultra-low dropout.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 300mA load?
The AP130-15YG-13 requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROP = 1.5V + 0.4V = 1.9V to maintain regulation at 300mA. Below 1.9V, output voltage drops linearly with input; datasheet testing excludes VIN < 3.0V for dropout characterization.
Can AP130-15YG-13 be used with ceramic output capacitors only?
Yes - the device is stable with ≥10µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors on the output. The internal compensation is optimized for low-ESR ceramics; no series resistor or tantalum capacitor is required for stability.
How does thermal shutdown behave under continuous overload?
When junction temperature exceeds ~150°C, thermal shutdown disables the pass transistor. After cooldown to ~130°C, the device auto-restarts. This hiccup mode prevents permanent damage during sustained short-circuit or excessive ambient temperature conditions.
Is the SOT89-3L package of AP130-15YG-13 pin-compatible with other AP130 variants?
No - AP130-15YG-13 (SOT89-3L) has OUT/GND/IN pin order (1/2/3), while AP130-15SA (SOT23) is IN/OUT/GND and AP130-15W (SC59) is IN/OUT/GND. Footprint and pin mapping differ across packages; board layout must match the specific variant's pinout.
