Product details
Overview
AP130-20SAG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 300mA fixed-output 2.0V low-dropout linear regulator in SOT23 package, featuring 400mV dropout at full load, ±2% output accuracy, and 50µA quiescent current. It integrates PMOS pass element with no base current draw, thermal shutdown, and current-limit protection-designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable low-voltage supply.
For engineers reviewing the AP130-20SAG-7 datasheet, AP130-20SAG-7 pinout, AP130-20SAG-7 application, or AP130-20SAG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (2.7–5.5V), dropout behavior under 300mA load, thermal resistance (θJA = 200°C/W), and compatibility with 1µF/10µF input/output capacitor configuration.
Technical Context
The AP130-20SAG-7 employs a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling zero gate-drive current and inherently low quiescent consumption. Its error amplifier uses an internal 1.08V bandgap reference to regulate output against line and load variations.
Protection circuitry includes fold-back current limiting triggered below 1.05V output and thermal shutdown activated above +125°C junction temperature. Stability is guaranteed with ≥10µF ceramic output capacitance and requires no ESR tuning.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.0V ±2% - ensures precise rail generation for 2.0V logic or analog subsystems |
| Max Output Current | 300mA - supports moderate-power microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs |
| Dropout Voltage | 400mV (typ) at 300mA - enables operation down to 2.4V input while maintaining regulation |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA (typ) - minimizes standby power loss in battery-critical applications |
| PSRR | 58dB at 100Hz - suppresses low-frequency ripple from noisy DC-DC converters or shared rails |
| Line Regulation | 0.1–0.3%/V - maintains tight output stability across full input range (2.7–5.5V) |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 200°C/W (SOT23) - defines maximum power dissipation limit (≤150mW at ΔT=30°C ambient rise) |
Pinout & Package
AP130-20SAG-7 is housed in a RoHS-compliant, green molding compound SOT23-3 package (JEDEC TO-236AB), measuring 2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm with gull-wing leads. Thermal performance is optimized for single-sided FR-4 PCBs with standard pad layout per AP02001.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Power Input | Accepts 2.7–5.5V supply; requires ≥1µF bypass capacitor close to pin |
| 2 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers fixed 2.0V ±2%; requires ≥10µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to ground for stability |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Return path for load current and internal bias; must connect directly to low-impedance ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PMOS Pass Element | Zero gate drive current eliminates base-current dependency, reducing system-level quiescent overhead |
| Fast Transient Response | Stabilizes within microseconds after load step changes-critical for burst-mode digital loads |
| Current Limit Fold-Back | Reduces short-circuit current to ≤150mA when VOUT < 1.05V, limiting power dissipation during fault |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at TJ > +125°C and auto-recovers upon cooling-prevents permanent silicon damage |
| Green Molding Compound | Halogen-free (Br/Sb-free), compliant with IPC-4101D/21, suitable for eco-sensitive industrial designs |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-2002E/TO | 250mA max output, 170µA quiescent current, 600mV dropout at 250mA | Limited to lower current loads; higher IQ reduces battery life in always-on systems | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs current capability and quiescent optimization |
| TPS7A0520PDBVR | 200mA max output, 25µA IQ, 175mV dropout at 200mA, enable pin included | Lower dropout and IQ but reduced current capacity; enable function adds control flexibility | Select when system requires ultra-low IQ and sequenced power-up, and 200mA suffices |
Compared with MCP1700-2002E/TO and TPS7A0520PDBVR, AP130-20SAG-7 delivers higher output current (300mA) at lower dropout (400mV) and competitive quiescent current (50µA), making it optimal for compact, battery-powered systems needing both headroom and efficiency without enable control.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP130-20SAG-7 to maintain 2.0V output at 300mA?
The minimum input voltage is calculated as VOUT + VDROP = 2.0V + 0.4V = 2.4V. Per datasheet specifications, the device sustains regulation at 300mA load down to this input level, assuming junction temperature remains within -40°C to +125°C and output capacitor meets stability requirements.
Can AP130-20SAG-7 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes-AP130-20SAG-7 is explicitly designed for stability with ≥10µF ceramic output capacitors (X5R/X7R). The internal compensation does not require ESR, eliminating need for tantalum or aluminum electrolytic types and supporting compact, high-reliability layouts.
Does AP130-20SAG-7 include reverse polarity or reverse current protection?
No-the device lacks built-in reverse polarity or reverse current blocking. If input can fall below output (e.g., during hot-swap or backup battery scenarios), an external Schottky diode must be added between IN and OUT to prevent backfeed and potential damage.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for thermal performance in SOT23 package?
Follow Diodes' AP02001 recommended land pattern: 1.50mm × 1.50mm copper pad for Pin 2 (OUT), connected to a solid ground plane via ≥2 thermal vias. Total exposed copper area should exceed 25 mm² to achieve the rated θJA = 200°C/W on standard FR-4.
