Product details
Overview
AP131-30WG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 300mA fixed-output (3.0V) low-dropout linear regulator in SOT25 package, featuring 400mV dropout at full load, 50µA quiescent current, and active-low enable control. It integrates current limit, thermal shutdown, and bandgap reference with BP pin for noise reduction, targeting battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable low-noise voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the AP131-30WG-7 datasheet, AP131-30WG-7 pinout, AP131-30WG-7 application, or AP131-30WG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under 300mA load, ±2% output accuracy across temperature, EN pin logic thresholds (VENON ≥1.5V, VENOFF ≤0.8V), and SOT25 thermal resistance (θJA = 163°C/W).
Technical Context
The AP131-30WG-7 employs a PMOS pass element with internal 1.5Ω RON, enabling low dropout and zero base current draw. Its error amplifier compares feedback from the bandgap reference to regulate output within ±2% over -40°C to +85°C ambient.
Shutdown is controlled via active-low EN pin with sub-0.1µA leakage; BP pin accepts 0.1µF capacitor to reduce output noise. Protection includes fold-back short-circuit current limiting (150–300mA) and thermal shutdown triggered at junction temperatures exceeding +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0V ±2% at 1mA, ensuring stable rail for 3.3V-tolerant I/O or low-power microcontrollers |
| Dropout Voltage | 400mV typ. at 300mA, allowing operation down to 3.4V input for single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline systems |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA typ. across 0–300mA load, minimizing standby power loss in always-on sensor nodes |
| Enable Threshold | VENON ≥1.5V, VENOFF ≤0.8V, compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting |
| PSRR | 60dB at 100Hz, suppressing ripple from switching pre-regulators in hybrid power architectures |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 163°C/W (SOT25), limiting max power dissipation to 250mW at 25°C ambient |
| Short-Circuit Current | Fold-back limited to 150–300mA, preventing thermal runaway during output fault conditions |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin, lead-free, halogen-free "Green" package) with 1.6mm × 2.8mm footprint and 0.95mm height; optimized for FR-4 PCBs with 2oz copper and recommended pad layout per Diodes Inc. package outline SOT25.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: IN | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.7–5.5V; requires 1µF ceramic input capacitor for stability |
| 2: EN | Active-low enable control | Pulled high internally; drives output ON when ≥1.5V, OFF when ≤0.8V |
| 3: BP | Bandgap bypass terminal | Connects 0.1µF capacitor to reduce output noise and improve PSRR |
| 4: OUT | Regulated output | Delivers up to 300mA at 3.0V ±2%; requires 10µF output capacitor |
| 5: GND | Power ground reference | Common return path for IN, OUT, EN, and BP; must be low-impedance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| Fast transient response | Stabilizes within microseconds after load step, critical for burst-mode RF transceivers |
| Integrated protection | Current limit + thermal shutdown prevent damage during sustained overload or PCB overheating |
| BP pin noise filtering | 0.1µF capacitor on BP reduces output voltage noise by >20dB vs. standard LDOs |
| High accuracy output | ±2% tolerance ensures reliable operation of ADC references and precision analog circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7343-30SAG-7 | Higher output current (500mA), lower dropout (250mV), but no BP pin for noise filtering | Better for higher-load applications; lacks BP-based noise suppression for sensitive analog rails | Select when load exceeds 300mA or dropout <250mV is required; avoid where ultra-low noise is critical |
| MCP1700-3002E/TO | Same 3.0V output, 250mA rating, 6µA quiescent current, but no enable pin or BP pin | Lower IQ ideal for multi-year battery use, but no remote ON/OFF control or noise optimization | Select for ultra-low-power always-on devices without need for enable or noise-sensitive analog circuitry |
Compared with AP7343-30SAG-7 and MCP1700-3002E/TO, AP131-30WG-7 uniquely balances 300mA capability, 50µA IQ, active enable, and BP-based noise reduction-making it optimal for battery-powered mixed-signal systems needing regulated, quiet 3.0V rails with controllable startup.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for AP131-30WG-7?
The absolute maximum input voltage is +6V, but the recommended operating range is 2.7V to 5.5V. Exceeding 5.5V risks permanent damage even briefly; operation above 5.5V violates the Recommended Operating Conditions and may trigger thermal shutdown unpredictably due to excessive power dissipation in the PMOS pass device.
Can AP131-30WG-7 be used without the BP capacitor?
Yes, the device functions without the BP capacitor, but output noise increases significantly-typical PSRR drops ~15dB at 10kHz and broadband noise rises by 3×. The BP pin is optional for basic regulation but essential for noise-sensitive applications like ADC references or RF bias rails where low-noise performance is specified.
Is AP131-30WG-7 pin-compatible with other AP131 variants?
Yes-all AP131 variants (e.g., AP131-18WG-7, AP131-33WG-7) share identical SOT25 pinout, EN logic, and functional block diagram. Only the fixed output voltage differs; no PCB redesign is needed when changing output voltage versions, provided input voltage and load requirements remain within spec.
Does AP131-30WG-7 support reverse polarity protection?
No, AP131-30WG-7 has no built-in reverse polarity protection. Applying reversed input voltage (IN negative relative to GND) can cause latch-up or permanent damage to the internal PMOS and bandgap circuitry. External protection-such as a series Schottky diode or dedicated reverse-voltage protection IC-is required in systems prone to incorrect battery insertion or field wiring errors.
