Product details
Overview
AP130-20RG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 300mA fixed-output 2.0V low-dropout linear regulator in SC59R package, featuring 400mV dropout at full load, ±2% output accuracy, and 50µA quiescent current. It integrates PMOS pass element, thermal shutdown, and current-limit protection for battery-powered peripherals requiring stable low-voltage supply.
For engineers reviewing the AP130-20RG-7 datasheet, AP130-20RG-7 pinout, AP130-20RG-7 application, or AP130-20RG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under 300mA load, 2.0V output tolerance, SC59R thermal resistance (250°C/W), and compatibility with 1µF input / 10µF output capacitor network.
Technical Context
The AP130-20RG-7 uses an internal PMOS pass transistor with 1.5Ω RON, eliminating base drive current and enabling ultra-low quiescent current. Its error amplifier compares output against a 1.08V bandgap reference to regulate 2.0V output with <40mV load regulation across 1–300mA.
Protection circuitry includes fold-back short-circuit current limiting (150–300mA) and thermal shutdown triggered above +125°C junction temperature. PSRR reaches 58dB at 100Hz with specified 1µF/10µF capacitors, supporting noise-sensitive analog and RF subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.0V ±2% - ensures stable core voltage for 2.0V logic rails without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA - supports moderate-power microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 400mV @ 300mA - enables operation down to 2.4V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA typical - minimizes standby power loss in always-on battery applications. |
| PSRR | 58dB @ 100Hz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Active >125°C - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
| Line Regulation | 0.1–0.3%/V - maintains output stability despite input rail sag during transient loads. |
Pinout & Package
AP130-20RG-7 is packaged in SC59R - a lead-free, RoHS-compliant 3-pin SOT-23 variant with reversed pinout (GND–OUT–IN, top view). Thermal resistance is 250°C/W (junction-to-ambient) on standard FR-4 board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for error amplifier and thermal sensor; must connect to low-impedance ground plane. |
| 2 | OUT | Regulated 2.0V output; requires ≥10µF ceramic capacitor to ground for stability. |
| 3 | IN | Input supply (2.7–5.5V); needs ≥1µF bypass capacitor close to pin to suppress high-frequency noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PMOS Pass Element | 1.5Ω RON eliminates base current draw, enabling true 50µA quiescent operation independent of load. |
| Fold-Back Current Limit | Reduces short-circuit current to 150–300mA, lowering power dissipation during fault conditions. |
| Fast Transient Response | Maintains <±20mV output deviation during 100mA load steps, minimizing need for large output capacitance. |
| Green Molding Compound | Halogen-free (no Br/Sb), compliant with environmental standards for consumer and industrial end equipment. |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP2202K-2.0TRG1 | Higher IQ (120µA), same SC59R package and 2.0V output. | Lacks fold-back current limit; uses thermal shutdown only. | Select when lower cost outweighs quiescent current penalty and fault protection depth. |
| MCP1700T-2002E/TT | 250mA max output, SOT-23 package, 1.6µA IQ; different pinout (IN–GND–OUT). | Lower current rating limits use to sub-250mA loads; ultra-low IQ suits multi-year battery life. | Select for ultra-low-power applications where 300mA headroom is unnecessary. |
Compared with AP2202K-2.0TRG1 and MCP1700T-2002E/TT, the AP130-20RG-7 uniquely balances 300mA capability, 50µA quiescent current, and fold-back current limiting in SC59R - making it optimal for mid-power battery devices needing robust fault handling without sacrificing efficiency.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP130-20RG-7 to maintain regulated 2.0V output at 300mA?
The minimum input voltage is 2.4V, calculated as VOUT + VDROP = 2.0V + 0.4V. Below this, output voltage drops linearly with input. The device operates down to 2.7V input per specification, ensuring margin for line regulation and transient droop.
Can AP130-20RG-7 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes - the datasheet specifies stability with ≥10µF ceramic capacitors (X5R/X7R) on the output. Unlike older LDOs, it does not require ESR-based damping, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count compared to tantalum or aluminum electrolytic alternatives.
How does the fold-back current limit behave during a short circuit?
Under short-circuit conditions (VOUT < 1.05V), output current reduces to 150–300mA - significantly below the 300mA rated output. This lowers power dissipation (P = I × VOUT) and prevents thermal runaway, allowing safe indefinite fault operation within ambient temperature limits.
Is AP130-20RG-7 compatible with reflow soldering per J-STD-020?
Yes - the SC59R package is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 20–40 sec above 217°C). The "G" suffix confirms green (halogen-free) molding compound, and the device meets JEDEC moisture sensitivity level MSL3, requiring bake only if exposed >168 hours at >60% RH.
