Product details
Overview
AP130-28RL-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed 2.8V, 300mA low-dropout linear regulator in SC59R 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 portable electronics requiring stable low-noise supply under light-to-full load.
For engineers reviewing the AP130-28RL-7 datasheet, AP130-28RL-7 pinout, AP130-28RL-7 application, or AP130-28RL-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 300mA, SC59R footprint compatibility, thermal resistance (θJA = 250°C/W), load regulation (±40mV), and RoHS-compliant green molding compound.
Technical Context
The AP130-28RL-7 uses an internal 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 deliver fast transient response and tight line regulation (0.3%/V max).
Protection circuitry includes fold-back short-circuit current limiting (150–300mA) and thermal shutdown triggered at TJ ≥ 125°C. The device requires a minimum 10µF output capacitor for stability and operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8V ±2% - ensures precise rail generation for 2.8V logic or analog subsystems without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA - supports moderate-power microcontrollers, sensors, or RF modules in space-constrained designs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 400mV at 300mA - enables operation down to VIN = 3.2V, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V system backup rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA typical - minimizes standby power loss in always-on battery applications like remote controls or IoT endpoints. |
| PSRR | 58dB at 100Hz - suppresses low-frequency ripple from switching pre-regulators or noisy DC/DC outputs. |
| Load Regulation | ±40mV (1–300mA) - maintains output stability across dynamic load steps common in digital ICs with burst-mode operation. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 250°C/W (SC59R) - defines maximum power dissipation (125mW at ΔT = 31.25°C rise) on standard FR-4 PCB with minimal copper. |
Pinout & Package
AP130-28RL-7 is housed in SC59R package: 3-pin, lead-free, green molding compound, 2.90 × 1.30 × 0.95 mm body, 0.95 mm pitch, top-view marking "H1" per datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground Reference | Return path for internal bias, error amp, and thermal sensor; must connect to low-impedance ground plane. |
| 2 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 2.8V; requires ≥10µF ceramic capacitor to ground for loop stability and transient response. |
| 3 (IN) | Input Supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5V; needs local 1µF bypass capacitor near pin to suppress high-frequency noise and input sag. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PMOS Pass Element | RON = 1.5Ω eliminates base current draw, enabling 50µA IQ independent of load - ideal for battery longevity. |
| Fold-Back Short-Circuit Protection | Limits output current to 150–300mA during fault, reducing power dissipation and preventing thermal runaway. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at TJ ≥ 125°C and auto-recovers after cooldown - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Green Molding Compound | Halogen-free (no Br/Sb), RoHS-compliant - meets environmental compliance requirements for consumer and industrial end equipment. |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Portable Devices | PC Peripherals |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Powering Bluetooth headsets, wireless mice, or handheld medical monitors operating from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary LDO supplying 2.8V to RF transceiver and MCU core, replacing inefficient resistive or switching solutions. Use Value: 400mV dropout extends usable battery life by enabling operation down to 3.2V input, while 50µA IQ minimizes self-discharge during sleep mode. |
Use Scenario: Providing clean 2.8V rail to USB audio adapters, card readers, or external SSD enclosures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Post-regulator cleaning noisy 3.3V USB VBUS or DC/DC output for sensitive analog audio circuits. Use Value: 58dB PSRR at 100Hz attenuates switching noise from upstream converters, reducing audible artifacts in DAC output. |
| Wireless Communication Modules | CD/DVD Drive Logic |
|
Use Scenario: Supplying 2.8V to Wi-Fi/BLE SoCs (e.g., ESP32, nRF52) in smart home hubs and gateways. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Local regulation for radio subsystems requiring low-noise, fast-transient response during packet transmission bursts. Use Value: Fast transient response maintains VOUT within ±2% during 100mA step loads, preventing RF lock-up or retransmission errors. |
Use Scenario: Powering servo control ICs and laser diode drivers in optical disc drives where EMI-sensitive analog stages coexist with digital logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dedicated low-noise LDO isolating analog front-end from noisy digital supply domains. Use Value: ±40mV load regulation ensures consistent laser bias current across spin-up/spin-down cycles, improving read/write accuracy. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-2802E/TO | 250mA rated, 175mV dropout at 250mA, 2.5µA IQ - lower power but lower current capability. | Suitable for ultra-low-power sub-200mA sensor nodes; insufficient for 300mA peak loads. | Select when IQ < 5µA is mandatory and load never exceeds 250mA. |
| TPS73128DBVR | 300mA rated, 170mV dropout at 300mA, 400µA IQ - lower dropout but 8× higher quiescent current. | Better for systems with ample input headroom (e.g., 5V rail); less suitable for coin-cell or single-Li-ion use. | Select when minimizing dropout is critical and battery life is secondary to voltage margin. |
Compared with MCP1700-2802E/TO and TPS73128DBVR, AP130-28RL-7 uniquely balances 300mA capability, 400mV dropout, and 50µA IQ in a compact SC59R package - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-operated devices needing both current headroom and standby efficiency.

FAQ
What is the minimum output capacitor required for AP130-28RL-7 stability?
The AP130-28RL-7 requires a minimum 10µF ceramic capacitor from OUT to GND to ensure phase margin and prevent oscillation. This value is specified in the Functional Descriptions section of DS31027 Rev. 8-2 and validated across temperature and load conditions. Using less capacitance risks instability, especially under fast load transients.
Does AP130-28RL-7 support reverse polarity protection?
No, AP130-28RL-7 does not include reverse polarity protection. Applying negative voltage to IN or OUT relative to GND may damage the internal PMOS pass element and bandgap circuitry. External protection diodes or MOSFET-based reverse-voltage circuits must be added if system-level reverse input is possible.
Can AP130-28RL-7 operate with an input voltage below 2.7V?
No - the absolute minimum input voltage is 2.7V per Recommended Operating Conditions. Below this, regulation is not guaranteed, and dropout behavior becomes undefined. At VIN = 2.6V, output may drop out of specification even at light loads, and internal bias circuits may cease functioning reliably.
Is the SC59R package thermally enhanced compared to SC59?
No - both SC59 and SC59R share identical thermal resistance: θJA = 250°C/W and θJC = 79°C/W under the same test conditions (FR-4 board, 1×MRP, 2oz copper). The "R" suffix denotes reversed pinout (GND/OUT/IN vs. IN/OUT/GND), not thermal improvement.
