Product details
Overview
AP130-35RG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed 3.5V, 300mA low-dropout linear regulator in SC59R package with 400mV dropout at full load, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and 50µA quiescent current. 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 AP130-35RG-7 datasheet, AP130-35RG-7 pinout, AP130-35RG-7 application, or AP130-35RG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 300mA, SC59R thermal resistance (250°C/W), 3.5V output tolerance, fast transient response, and compatibility with 1µF input / 10µF output capacitor network.
Technical Context
The AP130-35RG-7 uses a PMOS pass transistor with 1.5Ω on-resistance, eliminating base drive current and enabling ultra-low quiescent current across load range. Its bandgap reference and error amplifier deliver tight DC regulation and high PSRR (58dB at 100Hz) without external compensation.
Internal current fold-back and thermal shutdown activate under overload or junction temperature >125°C. The device operates from 2.7V to 5.5V input and maintains regulation down to 3.9V input at 300mA load for 3.5V output - confirming true LDO behavior with <400mV headroom requirement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.5V ±2% - ensures stable core voltage for 3.3V-tolerant logic with 50mV margin. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous - supports single-rail microcontroller or RF transceiver power domains. |
| Dropout Voltage | 400mV typ. at 300mA - enables operation from single Li-ion cell (3.0–4.2V) down to 3.9V input. |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA typ. at zero load - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes or standby modes. |
| PSRR | 58dB at 100Hz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO. |
| Line Regulation | 0.1–0.3%/V - maintains output stability despite input sag during pulsed loads. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 250°C/W (SC59R) - requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal management in space-constrained layouts. |
Pinout & Package
AP130-35RG-7 is packaged in SC59R - a lead-free, RoHS-compliant 3-pin SOT-23 variant with reversed pinout (GND–OUT–IN, top view). Thermal pad not present; standard FR-4 mounting with recommended 1×MRP layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for error amplifier and thermal shutdown circuitry; must connect to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| 2 | OUT | Regulated 3.5V output; requires ≥10µF ceramic capacitor to ground for stability and transient response. |
| 3 | IN | Input supply (2.7–5.5V); needs ≥1µF bypass capacitor near pin to limit input impedance at high frequency. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PMOS Pass Element | RON = 1.5Ω with zero gate drive current - eliminates base current loss, enabling 50µA IQ independent of load. |
| Current Limit + Fold-Back | 350–450mA limit with fold-back below 1.05V output - protects against short-circuit while limiting power dissipation. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at TJ >125°C with hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Green Molding Compound | Halogen-free (no Br/Sb) - meets IPC-4101D/21 requirements for environmentally compliant industrial designs. |
| Fast Transient Response | Stabilizes within 10µs after 100mA step load - maintains voltage integrity for burst-mode wireless transceivers. |

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-3502E/TT | 250mA max output, 175mV dropout at 250mA, 1.8µA IQ - lower current, lower dropout, much lower IQ. | Suitable only for sub-250mA loads; insufficient for 300mA peak demands in RF modules. | Select when ultra-low IQ dominates over output current capability. |
| TPS7333QDBVRQ1 | 300mA, 3.3V fixed, 350mV dropout, automotive-grade (-40°C to +125°C), 220µA IQ. | Requires 3.3V output; higher IQ reduces battery runtime; AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use. | Select for automotive infotainment or ADAS modules needing 3.3V and qualification. |
Compared with MCP1700T-3502E/TT and TPS7333QDBVRQ1, AP130-35RG-7 uniquely balances 300mA capability, 400mV dropout, and 50µA IQ in a cost-optimized industrial SC59R package - making it optimal for consumer and industrial portable devices where 3.5V is specified and thermal budget is constrained.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP130-35RG-7 to maintain regulation at 300mA?
The minimum input voltage is 3.9V: calculated as 3.5V output + 400mV typical dropout. At 300mA load and 25°C, regulation is maintained down to this headroom. Below 3.9V, output voltage drops linearly with input - confirmed by Figure 4 (Dropout vs. Load) in DS31027 Rev. 8-2.
Can AP130-35RG-7 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes - the datasheet specifies stability with ≥10µF ceramic output capacitor (X5R/X7R). No ESR requirement is imposed, unlike older LDOs; the internal compensation is optimized for low-ESR ceramics, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
Does AP130-35RG-7 require an input capacitor, and if so, what value?
Yes - a minimum 1µF ceramic capacitor is required at the IN pin, placed as close as possible to the device. This limits high-frequency input impedance and prevents oscillation during fast load transients, as validated in the Typical Application Circuit on page 2 of DS31027.
Is AP130-35RG-7 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles?
Yes - it is RoHS-compliant and rated for standard lead-free reflow (J-STD-020D), with peak temperature up to 260°C. The "G" suffix explicitly denotes green (halogen-free) molding compound and lead-free finish, verified per Diodes' AP02007 packaging specification.
