Product details
Overview
AP130-33RL-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 300mA fixed-output 3.3V low-dropout linear regulator in SC59R 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 AP130-33RL-7 datasheet, AP130-33RL-7 pinout, AP130-33RL-7 application, or AP130-33RL-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance under 300mA load, SC59R footprint compatibility, thermal resistance (250°C/W), fast transient response, and RoHS-compliant green packaging.
Technical Context
The AP130-33RL-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 (0.1–0.3%/V) and load (30–40mV) variations.
Protection circuitry includes fold-back current limiting (150–300mA short-circuit current) and thermal shutdown triggered above +125°C junction temperature. Input voltage range is strictly 2.7V to 5.5V, with absolute maximum rating of +6V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2% - ensures stable logic-level supply for 3.3V microcontrollers and I/O interfaces |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous - supports moderate-power peripherals like USB transceivers or sensor modules |
| Dropout Voltage | 400mV typ. at 300mA - enables operation down to 3.7V input, suitable for single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline systems |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA typ. at zero load - minimizes standby power loss in always-on battery applications |
| PSRR | 58dB at 100Hz - suppresses ripple from noisy switchers or shared DC rails feeding sensitive analog circuits |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 250°C/W (SC59R) - requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal management in space-constrained layouts |
| Line Regulation | 0.1–0.3%/V - maintains tight output stability across input voltage sag during battery discharge |
Pinout & Package
AP130-33RL-7 is housed in SC59R package: 3-pin SOT-23 variant with reversed pinout (GND–OUT–IN, top view). This layout simplifies PCB routing in high-density designs where ground plane access is prioritized.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for error amplifier and thermal shutdown comparator; must connect to low-impedance system ground plane |
| 2 | OUT | Regulated 3.3V output; requires ≥10µF ceramic capacitor to ground for loop stability and transient response |
| 3 | IN | Input supply (2.7–5.5V); needs local 1µF bypass capacitor to reduce high-frequency noise coupling into regulation loop |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PMOS Pass Element | Zero gate drive current eliminates base-current dependency, enabling ultra-low IQ independent of load |
| Fold-Back Current Limit | Reduces short-circuit power dissipation by lowering output current as VOUT collapses, protecting die during fault conditions |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at TJ > +125°C and holds until junction cools by ≥15°C, preventing permanent damage during sustained overload |
| Green Molding Compound | Halogen-free, Br/Sb-free epoxy meets environmental compliance without sacrificing thermal or mechanical reliability |
| Fast Transient Response | Maintains <±20mV output deviation during 100mA step load changes due to optimized internal compensation |
Applications
| Wireless Communication Module | PC Peripheral Card |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3302E/TT (Microchip) | 250mA max output, 175mV dropout at 250mA, 1.6µA IQ - lower current, much lower IQ, but higher dropout sensitivity | Suitable only for sub-250mA loads; insufficient for 300mA peak demands in USB or motor drivers | Select when ultra-low standby power dominates over output current capability |
| TPS73033DBVR (TI) | 200mA max output, 110mV dropout at 200mA, 330µA IQ - lower dropout but higher quiescent current and reduced current rating | Not viable for sustained 300mA loads; thermal derating begins below 200mA in SC59R footprint | Prefer only if input voltage is tightly regulated >3.4V and 330µA IQ is acceptable |
Compared with MCP1700T-3302E/TT and TPS73033DBVR, AP130-33RL-7 uniquely balances 300mA delivery, 400mV dropout, and 50µA IQ in a legacy-compatible SC59R package-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-operated peripherals where full-rated current and low standby loss are both mandatory.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP130-33RL-7 to maintain regulation at 300mA?
The minimum input voltage is calculated as VOUT + VDROP = 3.3V + 0.4V = 3.7V. At 300mA load and 25°C ambient, the device sustains regulation down to 3.7V input. Below this, output voltage drops linearly with input; operation below 2.7V is prohibited per absolute maximum ratings.
Can AP130-33RL-7 be used 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 severe overshoot/undershoot during load transients and may trigger thermal shutdown under dynamic conditions.
Does AP130-33RL-7 support reverse-voltage protection?
No. The device lacks intrinsic reverse-battery or reverse-polarity protection. Applying negative voltage to IN or OUT relative to GND exceeds absolute maximum ratings and risks permanent damage. External protection diodes are required in systems prone to polarity reversal.
How does thermal shutdown behave during continuous overload?
When junction temperature exceeds +125°C, thermal shutdown disables the pass element, dropping output to near-zero. The device remains latched off until TJ falls by ≥15°C (typically ~10–30 seconds depending on PCB thermal mass), then automatically resumes regulation without external reset.
