Product details
Overview
AP130-35SAG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 3.5V, 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 modules requiring stable low-noise supply under variable load.
For engineers reviewing the AP130-35SAG-7 datasheet, AP130-35SAG-7 pinout, AP130-35SAG-7 application, or AP130-35SAG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 300mA, thermal resistance (θJA = 200°C/W), green RoHS-compliant packaging, and fast transient response in space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The AP130-35SAG-7 integrates a PMOS pass element with 1.5Ω RON, bandgap reference, error amplifier, and protection circuitry including fold-back current limiting and thermal shutdown. Its architecture eliminates base drive current, enabling ultra-low quiescent current across load range.
It operates within 2.7V–5.5V input range and delivers regulated 3.5V output with ≤40mV load regulation (1–300mA) and 58dB PSRR at 100Hz. Stability requires ≥10µF output capacitance per functional description.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.5V ±2% - ensures precise rail generation for 3.3V-tolerant logic without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA - supports moderate-power RF transceivers and microcontroller peripherals in compact devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 400mV @ 300mA - enables operation down to 3.9V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA typical - minimizes standby power loss in always-on IoT sensors and sleep-mode communication modules. |
| PSRR | 58dB @ 100Hz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding shared input rails. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 200°C/W (SOT23) - defines maximum power dissipation (≤375mW at 85°C ambient) before thermal shutdown activates. |
| Protection Features | Current limit (350–450mA), thermal shutdown, short-circuit fold-back - prevents latch-up and permanent damage during fault conditions. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package: small-outline transistor outline with 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint, 1.45mm height, and exposed pad not present - suitable for high-density PCB layouts with manual or automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Power Supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5V; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass capacitor close to pin to suppress high-frequency noise and sustain transient current. |
| 2 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 3.5V; must connect ≥10µF low-ESR output capacitor to ground for loop stability and load-step response. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return path for input/output capacitors and load; shortest possible trace to minimize ground bounce and EMI coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PMOS Pass Element | RON = 1.5Ω eliminates base current draw, enabling true 50µA IQ independent of load - extends battery life in intermittent-duty applications. |
| Fast Transient Response | Stabilizes within <10µs after 100mA load step - maintains clean supply to RF ICs during burst transmission without external compensation. |
| Green RoHS Compliance | SOT23 package uses bromine/antimony-free molding compound - meets IPC-1752A material declaration requirements for eco-design certification. |
| Integrated Protection | Thermal shutdown triggers at ~150°C junction temperature; current fold-back reduces short-circuit power dissipation by >60% versus hard-limit designs. |
Applications
| Wireless Sensor Node | USB Peripheral Controller |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Sub-1GHz ISM-band sensor node powered by CR2032 coin cell with intermittent BLE or LoRaWAN transmission. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary 3.5V supply regulator for MCU, radio transceiver, and analog front-end. Use Value: 50µA quiescent current enables >2-year shelf life; 400mV dropout allows operation until cell voltage drops to 3.9V. |
Use Scenario: USB 2.0 hub controller board drawing peak 250mA during enumeration and data transfer. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Local LDO supplying core logic voltage to USB PHY and packet controller.

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 (Microchip) | 250mA max output, 175mV dropout @ 250mA, 2.0µA IQ - lower power but reduced current capability. | Optimized for ultra-low-power sub-100µA systems; insufficient for 300mA RF bursts. | Select when standby current dominates design priority and peak load ≤250mA. |
| TPS73035DBVR (TI) | 200mA max, 120mV dropout @ 200mA, 330µA IQ - tighter initial accuracy (±1%) but higher quiescent current. | Better for precision analog rails where noise and accuracy outweigh battery life concerns. | Choose when PSRR >60dB and load regulation <15mV are required, accepting 6.6× higher IQ. |
Compared with MCP1700T-3502E/TT and TPS73035DBVR, the AP130-35SAG-7 uniquely balances 300mA delivery, 400mV dropout, and 50µA IQ in SOT23 - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-operated RF modules needing headroom between Li-ion min voltage and regulated rail.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP130-35SAG-7 to maintain regulation at 300mA?
The minimum input voltage is calculated as VOUT + VDROP = 3.5V + 0.4V = 3.9V. Below this, output voltage sags proportionally with input; datasheet specifies guaranteed 300mA operation only when VIN ≥ 3.9V at 25°C ambient.
Can AP130-35SAG-7 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes - the device is stable with ≥10µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors having ESR ≤100mΩ. The datasheet explicitly validates stability with 10µF ceramic output capacitance, eliminating need for tantalum or aluminum electrolytic alternatives.
Does AP130-35SAG-7 require an input capacitor?
Yes - a minimum 1µF ceramic capacitor must be placed between IN and GND, located within 3mm of the package. This reduces high-frequency input impedance and prevents oscillation during load transients, as confirmed in the Typical Application Circuit.
How does thermal shutdown behave during sustained overload?
When junction temperature exceeds ~150°C, thermal shutdown disables the pass element until die cools by ~20°C. Recovery is automatic and non-latching; fold-back current limiting reduces power dissipation during short-circuit events to prevent thermal runaway.
