Product details
Overview
AP130-28WL-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed 2.8V, 300mA low-dropout linear regulator in SC59 package with 400mV dropout at full load, 50µA quiescent current, and ±2% output voltage accuracy-designed for battery-powered wireless modules requiring stable low-noise supply under light-to-moderate load.
For engineers reviewing the AP130-28WL-7 datasheet, AP130-28WL-7 pinout, AP130-28WL-7 application, or AP130-28WL-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 300mA, thermal resistance (θJA = 250°C/W), SC59 footprint compatibility, and integrated short-circuit fold-back protection.
Technical Context
The AP130-28WL-7 uses a PMOS pass element with no base current draw, enabling ultra-low quiescent current across load range. Its bandgap reference and error amplifier deliver tight regulation (±2% VOUT) and fast transient response to load steps up to 300mA.
Internal current limit (350–450mA) and thermal shutdown prevent damage during fault conditions; short-circuit fold-back reduces power dissipation during output shorts, while PSRR of 58dB at 100Hz suppresses input ripple in noise-sensitive RF sections.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8V ±2% - ensures stable core voltage for 2.8V logic or analog circuitry without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous - supports moderate-power peripherals like Bluetooth transceivers or sensor interfaces. |
| Dropout Voltage | 400mV typ. at 300mA - enables operation down to 3.2V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V rail derating. |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA typ. at zero load - extends battery life in always-on standby modes of portable devices. |
| PSRR | 58dB at 100Hz - attenuates switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 250°C/W (SC59) - defines maximum power dissipation (≈375mW at ΔT=94°C) before thermal shutdown triggers. |
| Protection Features | Current limit + thermal shutdown + short-circuit fold-back - prevents latch-up and catastrophic failure during overloads. |
Pinout & Package
AP130-28WL-7 is housed in SC59 package (3-pin, SOT-23 compatible outline), with 1.90mm × 2.90mm footprint and 1.30mm height. Pin 1 = IN, Pin 2 = OUT, Pin 3 = GND (top view, left-to-right).
| 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 and transient response. |
| 2 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers fixed 2.8V; requires ≥10µF low-ESR output capacitor (e.g., tantalum or polymer) for loop stability. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Low-impedance return path for error amplifier and pass transistor; must connect directly to PCB ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PMOS Pass Element | Zero gate drive current eliminates base current loss, enabling 50µA IQ independent of load. |
| Fast Transient Response | Stabilizes within <10µs after 100mA load step-critical for burst-mode wireless transmission. |
| Load Regulation | ±30mV over 1–300mA load range-ensures consistent voltage for ADC references or PLL VCO supplies. |
| Green Molding Compound | Halogen-free (no Br/Sb), RoHS-compliant packaging-meets environmental compliance for consumer electronics. |
| Short-Circuit Fold-Back | Reduces short-circuit current to 150–300mA-limits junction temperature rise during sustained faults. |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Wireless Sensor Node | USB Peripheral Power Management |

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-2.8TRG1 | Higher IQ (80µA), lower dropout (300mV @ 300mA), SOT-23-5 package with enable pin. | Requires enable control signal; better suited for systems needing dynamic power gating. | Select when active sequencing or lower dropout is prioritized over minimal footprint. |
| MCP1700T-2802E/TT | Lower IQ (1.6µA), same 2.8V output, but rated only to 250mA; SOT-23-3 package. | Limited to lighter loads; lacks short-circuit fold-back (only hiccup mode). | Choose for ultra-low-power sleep modes where peak current never exceeds 250mA. |
Compared with AP2202K-2.8TRG1 and MCP1700T-2802E/TT, the AP130-28WL-7 offers balanced performance: lowest cost per unit, proven thermal robustness in SC59, and integrated fold-back protection-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, medium-current industrial and consumer modules.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP130-28WL-7 to maintain regulation at 300mA?
The minimum input voltage is calculated as VOUT + VDROP = 2.8V + 0.4V = 3.2V. At 300mA load and 25°C, regulation is maintained down to 3.2V input; below this, output voltage drops linearly with input. The absolute minimum input rating is 2.7V, but dropout margin shrinks significantly below 3.2V.
Can AP130-28WL-7 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, but only with ≥10µF capacitance and ≥10mΩ ESR. The AP130 requires minimum ESR for loop stability; standard X5R/X7R ceramics often have ESR <1mΩ and may cause oscillation. Use ceramic capacitors with added series resistor or select specialty low-ESR polymer/tantalum types verified in Diodes' AP02001 layout guide.
Does AP130-28WL-7 include reverse polarity protection?
No. The AP130-28WL-7 has no internal reverse-voltage protection. Applying reverse voltage (>−0.3V on IN or OUT relative to GND) can damage the PMOS pass transistor. External series diode or MOSFET-based reverse protection must be added if system-level polarity reversal is possible.
How does thermal shutdown behave during sustained overload?
When junction temperature exceeds +150°C, thermal shutdown disables the pass transistor, dropping output to near-zero. After cooldown to ~135°C, the device auto-restarts. Under continuous short-circuit, this results in hiccup-mode cycling-reducing average power dissipation and preventing permanent damage.
