Product details
Overview
AP130-25YG-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed 2.5V, 300mA low-dropout linear regulator in SOT89-3L package, featuring 400mV dropout at full load, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and 50µA quiescent current. It integrates PMOS pass element, thermal shutdown, and current-limit protection, and is designed for battery-powered peripherals requiring stable low-noise supply.
For engineers reviewing the AP130-25YG-13 datasheet, AP130-25YG-13 pinout, AP130-25YG-13 application, or AP130-25YG-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 300mA, thermal resistance (θJA = 100°C/W), green RoHS-compliant packaging, and compatibility with 10µF output capacitance for stability.
Technical Context
The AP130-25YG-13 uses a PMOS pass transistor with 1.5Ω RON, eliminating base drive current and enabling ultra-low quiescent current across load range. Its bandgap reference and error amplifier deliver tight load regulation (±40mV) and line regulation (±0.3%/V) over input 2.7–5.5V.
Internal short-circuit fold-back limits peak fault current to 150–300mA while thermal shutdown activates at TJ ≥ 125°C. PSRR reaches 58dB at 100Hz with 1µF/10µF input/output capacitors, supporting noise-sensitive analog and RF subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±2% - ensures precise biasing for 2.5V logic, ADC references, and sensor interfaces |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous - supports moderate-power peripherals like USB PHYs and small FPGAs |
| Dropout Voltage | 400mV typ. at 300mA - enables operation down to 2.9V input for single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V rail post-regulation |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA typ. at zero load - extends battery life in always-on monitoring circuits |
| PSRR | 58dB at 100Hz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 100°C/W (SOT89-3L, no heatsink) - defines safe power dissipation limit of 325mW at 85°C ambient |
| Protection Features | Current limit + thermal shutdown + short-circuit fold-back - prevents latch-up and permanent damage under fault |
Pinout & Package
SOT89-3L package: 3-pin surface-mount, thermally enhanced leadframe with exposed pad (not electrically connected), footprint per Diodes AP02007; suitable for high-reliability industrial PCBs with minimal thermal vias.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 2.5V; requires ≥10µF ceramic capacitor to ground for loop stability |
| 2 (GND) | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path; must be routed directly to power plane to minimize noise coupling |
| 3 (IN) | Unregulated input | Accepts 2.7–5.5V; requires local 1µF bypass capacitor within 5mm of pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PMOS pass element | 1.5Ω RON enables zero gate-drive current, reducing system-level standby power |
| Fast transient response | Stabilizes within 10µs after 100mA load step - maintains voltage integrity during burst-mode MCU operation |
| Green RoHS-compliant molding | No Br/Sb halogens - meets IPC-1752A Tier 1 environmental reporting requirements |
| Short-circuit fold-back | Limits fault current to ≤300mA - avoids board-level fuse blowing and trace damage |
| Lead-free finish | Matte tin plating compatible with Pb-free reflow profiles (J-STD-020D) |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-2502E/TO (Microchip) | 250mA max output, 175mV dropout at 250mA, 2.5µA IQ - lower power but reduced current capability | Targeted at ultra-low-power sub-100mA sensors; insufficient for 300mA USB PHY loads | Select when IQ <5µA is mandatory and load never exceeds 250mA |
| TPS73225DBVR (TI) | 250mA, 150mV dropout at 250mA, 400µA IQ, higher PSRR (65dB) - better noise rejection but higher quiescent draw | Better suited for RF/analog signal chains where PSRR >60dB is critical and battery life is secondary | Select when PSRR >60dB required and 400µA IQ acceptable in system budget |
Compared with MCP1700-2502E/TO and TPS73225DBVR, AP130-25YG-13 uniquely balances 300mA drive, 400mV dropout, and 50µA IQ in a cost-effective SOT89-3L package - making it optimal for mid-power portable and industrial peripherals where thermal headroom and standby efficiency are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP130-25YG-13 to maintain regulation at 300mA?
The AP130-25YG-13 requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROP = 2.5V + 0.4V = 2.9V to sustain 300mA output while maintaining ±2% regulation. Below 2.9V, dropout occurs and output voltage drops linearly with input. The absolute minimum input rating is 2.7V, but regulation is not guaranteed below 2.9V at full load.
Can AP130-25YG-13 operate without an output capacitor?
No. A minimum 10µF ceramic capacitor is mandatory between OUT and GND to ensure loop stability and prevent oscillation. Omitting it causes sustained ringing or instability under load transients, as confirmed in the functional description section of DS31027 Rev. 8-2. Tantalum or aluminum electrolytic caps are not recommended due to ESR sensitivity.
Is the SOT89-3L package of AP130-25YG-13 thermally enhanced?
Yes. The SOT89-3L package features an exposed metal tab (pin 2 is GND, but the tab is internally connected to GND and serves as primary thermal path). Diodes specifies θJA = 100°C/W with no heatsink and no airflow - confirming its thermal enhancement over standard SOT23. PCB copper area under the tab significantly improves heat dissipation.
Does AP130-25YG-13 support reverse polarity or reverse current protection?
No. AP130-25YG-13 lacks internal reverse-voltage or reverse-current blocking. If input is disconnected while output remains biased (e.g., by another supply), current can flow backward from OUT to IN through the body diode of the PMOS pass device, potentially damaging upstream circuitry. An external series Schottky diode is required for reverse protection.
