Product details
Overview
AP130-25WL-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 300mA fixed-output 2.5V low-dropout linear regulator in SC59 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 peripherals requiring stable low-noise voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the AP130-25WL-7 datasheet, AP130-25WL-7 pinout, AP130-25WL-7 application, or AP130-25WL-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 300mA, SC59 footprint compatibility, 2.5V output tolerance, thermal resistance (250°C/W), and integrated short-circuit fold-back protection.
Technical Context
The AP130-25WL-7 employs a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling zero gate-drive current and inherently low quiescent consumption. Its error amplifier uses a bandgap reference to regulate output against line and load variations, with internal compensation ensuring stability with ≥10µF output capacitance.
Protection circuitry includes thermal shutdown triggered at ~125°C junction temperature and current limit set at 350–450mA with fold-back behavior under short-circuit conditions. PSRR reaches 58dB at 100Hz, supporting noise-sensitive analog and RF subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±2% - ensures precise rail generation for 2.5V logic or analog circuitry without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA - supports moderate-power peripherals like USB transceivers or sensor interfaces. |
| Dropout Voltage | 400mV typ. at 300mA - enables operation down to VIN = 2.9V while maintaining regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA typ. - minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed systems. |
| PSRR | 58dB at 100Hz - suppresses input ripple from switching supplies feeding the LDO. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 250°C/W (SC59) - defines maximum power dissipation (125°C–25°C)/250 = 400mW before thermal shutdown). |
| Load Regulation | ±40mV (1–300mA) - maintains tight output stability across dynamic load steps. |
Pinout & Package
AP130-25WL-7 is housed in the SC59 surface-mount package (2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts with standard SMT reflow compatibility.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN | Input supply connection; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass capacitor near pin for stability. |
| 2 | OUT | Regulated 2.5V output; must be decoupled with ≥10µF low-ESR capacitor to ground. |
| 3 | GND | Power ground reference; shared return path for IN and OUT capacitors to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PMOS Pass Element | Zero gate drive current eliminates base/charge-pump losses, enabling ultra-low IQ operation. |
| Current Limit with Fold-Back | Reduces short-circuit power dissipation by lowering output current as VOUT collapses below 1.05V. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at ~125°C junction temperature and releases only after cooldown, preventing latch-up. |
| Green Molding Compound | Halogen-free (no Br/Sb) epoxy meets environmental compliance requirements for consumer electronics. |
| RoHS Compliant Finish | Lead-free termination compatible with Pb-free soldering processes per EU Directive 2002/95/EC. |

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-2.5TRG1 | Higher IQ (80µA), same SC59 package, but lacks short-circuit fold-back. | Less robust under sustained overload; suitable only where fault duration is brief. | Select when lower cost is prioritized over fault resilience in non-critical loads. |
| MCP1700T-2502E/TT | SOT23-3 package, 250mA rating, 1.6µA IQ - ultra-low power but lower current capability. | Insufficient for 300mA peak loads; limited to always-on sensor nodes or RTC backup rails. | Choose only if system load never exceeds 250mA and standby current is the dominant design constraint. |
Compared with AP2202K-2.5TRG1 and MCP1700T-2502E/TT, the AP130-25WL-7 uniquely balances 300mA delivery, 50µA IQ, fold-back protection, and SC59 footprint-making it optimal for mid-power portable peripherals where reliability and board space are both critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum output capacitance required for stability?
The AP130-25WL-7 requires a minimum 10µF low-ESR ceramic or tantalum capacitor from OUT to GND to ensure phase margin and prevent oscillation. This value is validated across temperature and load conditions per DS31027 Rev. 8–2, Section "Functional Descriptions".
Does AP130-25WL-7 support reverse polarity protection?
No. The AP130-25WL-7 lacks integrated reverse-voltage protection; applying negative voltage to IN or OUT relative to GND may damage the PMOS pass device. External protection diodes are required in systems prone to polarity reversal.
Can AP130-25WL-7 operate with input voltage below 2.7V?
No. Absolute minimum input voltage is 2.7V per Recommended Operating Conditions. Operation below this risks regulation failure and is outside guaranteed specification; dropout testing is explicitly skipped below 3V per Note 2 in Electrical Characteristics.
Is thermal shutdown latching or auto-recovering?
Thermal shutdown is non-latching and auto-recovering. Once junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~115°C), regulation resumes without external reset. This behavior is confirmed in the Functional Block Diagram and Absolute Maximum Ratings section of DS31027.
