Product details
Overview
AP130-28SAG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed 2.8V, 300mA low-dropout linear regulator in SOT23 package with 400mV dropout at full load, 50µA quiescent current, and ±2% output voltage accuracy-designed for battery-powered wireless peripherals requiring stable low-noise supply under light-to-moderate load.
For engineers reviewing the AP130-28SAG-7 datasheet, AP130-28SAG-7 pinout, AP130-28SAG-7 application, or AP130-28SAG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 300mA, thermal resistance (θJA = 200°C/W), PSRR of 58dB at 100Hz, short-circuit fold-back protection, and green RoHS-compliant SOT23 packaging.
Technical Context
The AP130-28SAG-7 integrates a PMOS pass element with no base current draw, error amplifier, bandgap reference, and thermal shutdown circuitry. Its internal 1.5Ω RON enables low dropout while maintaining stability with ≥10µF output capacitance.
It delivers fast transient response and tight load regulation (±40mV over 1–300mA), supported by built-in current limit (450mA typ) and short-circuit fold-back (150–300mA). Operation is specified from −40°C to +85°C ambient with input range 2.7V–5.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8V ±2% - ensures precise rail for 2.8V logic or RF biasing without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous - supports moderate-power microcontrollers, transceivers, or sensor interfaces. |
| Dropout Voltage | 400mV at 300mA - enables operation down to 3.2V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V system backup. |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA typical - minimizes standby power loss in always-on battery applications. |
| PSRR | 58dB at 100Hz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 200°C/W (SOT23) - defines safe power dissipation limit (~150mW max at ΔT=30°C) on standard FR-4 PCB. |
| Protection Features | Current limit + thermal shutdown + short-circuit fold-back - prevents latch-up or destruction during fault conditions. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package: small-outline transistor outline with gull-wing leads, 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint, RoHS-compliant green molding compound, and 200°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard PCB layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Power Supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5V input; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass capacitor close to pin for stability. |
| 2 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers fixed 2.8V ±2%; requires ≥10µF low-ESR output capacitor for transient stability. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return path for input/output capacitors and load; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PMOS Pass Element | RON = 1.5Ω eliminates base drive current, enabling ultra-low IQ and simplifying bias design. |
| Fast Transient Response | Maintains <±2% VOUT deviation during 100mA step load changes due to optimized internal compensation. |
| Load Regulation | ±40mV over 1–300mA load range - ensures consistent voltage delivery across operating conditions. |
| Green RoHS Packaging | SOT23 with halogen-free, antimony-free molding compound - meets environmental compliance for consumer and industrial use. |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Wireless Peripherals | PC Card Power Management |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: USB Bluetooth dongle or 2.4GHz RF module powered by single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary 2.8V supply regulator for RF transceiver IC and baseband controller. Use Value: 400mV dropout allows >90% usable battery voltage range; 50µA IQ extends shelf life in sleep mode. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2802E/TT (Microchip) | 250mA max output, 175mV dropout at 250mA, 2.0µA IQ - lower power but reduced current capability. | Best for ultra-low-IQ sub-100mA sensor nodes; insufficient for 300mA RF bursts. | Select when standby current is primary constraint and peak load ≤250mA. |
| TPS7A2028PDQNR (TI) | 300mA output, 170mV dropout at 300mA, 6.5µA IQ, 70dB PSRR - superior performance but SOT23-5 package. | Requires PCB redesign for 5-pin layout; better suited for noise-sensitive analog signal chains. | Choose when PSRR >70dB and dropout <200mV are mandatory, and board space allows SOT23-5. |
Compared with MCP1700T-2802E/TT and TPS7A2028PDQNR, the AP130-28SAG-7 offers balanced 300mA capability, proven 400mV dropout, and SOT23-3 compatibility-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where 50µA IQ and robust fault protection are sufficient.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP130-28SAG-7 to maintain regulation?
The AP130-28SAG-7 requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROP = 2.8V + 0.4V = 3.2V to sustain regulation at 300mA load. At lighter loads, dropout decreases-e.g., ~150mV at 50mA-allowing operation down to ~2.95V input. Below 3.2V under full load, output voltage drops linearly with input.
Can AP130-28SAG-7 be used without an output capacitor?
No. The datasheet mandates ≥10µF low-ESR output capacitance (e.g., ceramic or tantalum) for stability. Omitting it causes oscillation or excessive overshoot during load transients. Input capacitance ≥1µF is also required to prevent input sag during dynamic load steps.
Does AP130-28SAG-7 support reverse polarity or reverse current protection?
No. The AP130-28SAG-7 lacks internal reverse-voltage or reverse-current blocking. If input can fall below output (e.g., during hot-swap or battery removal), an external Schottky diode in series with IN is required to prevent backfeed and potential damage.
How does thermal shutdown behave during sustained overload?
Under sustained overload, the AP130-28SAG-7 activates thermal shutdown when junction temperature exceeds +125°C, turning off the pass element. It remains latched off until TJ cools to ~110°C (typical hysteresis), then auto-restarts-providing cyclic protection without external intervention.
