Product details
Overview
AP133-SNG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 300mA adjustable-output low-dropout linear regulator in DFN2020-6 package, featuring 40μA quiescent current, 350mV dropout at full load, 65dB PSRR at 1kHz, and ultra-fast 25μs startup. It delivers stable 1V–5V output for battery-powered portable electronics requiring high efficiency and transient robustness.
For engineers reviewing the AP133-SNG-7 datasheet, AP133-SNG-7 pinout, AP133-SNG-7 application, or AP133-SNG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-IQ operation across input range (2V–6V), thermal shutdown at +145°C, current limit (~600mA), and compatibility with 1μF ceramic output capacitors - critical for space-constrained mobile designs.
Technical Context
The AP133 employs an internal 0.8V bandgap reference and error amplifier to regulate output via external R1/R2 feedback divider. Its pass transistor architecture supports adjustable output while maintaining stability with low-ESR ceramic capacitors down to 1μF.
Protection circuitry includes foldback current limiting (typ. 600mA), short-circuit clamping (~120mA), and thermal shutdown with 20°C hysteresis. EN pin enables logic-controlled on/off operation with VIH ≥1.4V and VIL ≤0.4V, supporting direct microcontroller interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 300mA max - sufficient for baseband processors and RF ICs in handheld devices |
| Quiescent Current | 40μA typ. - enables >340μA standby current reduction vs. 140μA alternatives, extending battery life |
| Dropout Voltage | 350mV at 300mA - allows operation down to 3.2V Li-ion battery voltage while delivering 2.85V core supply |
| PSRR | 65dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from PMICs or DC-DC converters feeding adjacent analog/RF blocks |
| Startup Time | 25μs - supports rapid wake-up from deep sleep in GSM/TDMA burst-mode systems |
| Input Voltage Range | 2V to 6V - accommodates single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), Li-poly, or dual-cell alkaline inputs |
| Output Accuracy | ±2% - ensures reliable voltage margin for 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V digital logic without trimming |
Pinout & Package
AP133-SNG-7 uses the DFN2020-6 (2.0mm × 2.0mm, 0.5mm pitch) package with wettable flank leads for automated optical inspection. Thermal resistance θJA is 142°C/W on FR-4 with minimum pad layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (EN) | Enable input | Active-high logic control; ties to MCU GPIO or power sequencer; VIH ≥1.4V required for turn-on |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for IN, OUT, ADJ, and EN; must connect to low-impedance ground plane |
| 3 (IN) | Input voltage | Accepts 2V–6V; requires ≥0.1μF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| 4 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 1V–5V set by external resistor divider; bypassed with 1–4.7μF X7R/X5R ceramic cap |
| 5 (NC) | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no PCB trace or solder mask opening required |
| 6 (ADJ) | Feedback reference | Connects to R1–R2 divider node; references internal 0.8V bandgap; R2 ≤250kΩ for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40μA across full input (2V–6V) and load (0–300mA) range - minimizes battery drain during idle |
| Fast transient response | Stable under 0→300mA load steps with minimal overshoot/undershoot - supports DSP/GSM burst-mode loads |
| Low-ESR capacitor support | Stable with 1μF ceramic output capacitor - reduces board area and cost vs. larger tantalum solutions |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (~600mA), short-circuit clamp (~120mA), and thermal shutdown (+145°C) - eliminates need for external fault management |
| Adjustable output range | 1.0V to 5.0V via two-resistor divider - enables single BOM for multiple voltage rails in portable platforms |
Applications
| Cellular Baseband Power | GSM RF Front-End Supply |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7330-WG-7 | Fixed 3.3V output; 300mA; 60μA IQ; SOT25 only | Lacks adjustability and EN pin; limited to single-rail use cases | Select when fixed 3.3V output suffices and board space permits SOT25 over DFN2020-6 |
| AP7343-SNG-7 | Adjustable 0.8V–5.0V; 500mA; 50μA IQ; DFN2020-6; 200mV dropout @500mA | Higher current, lower dropout, but higher IQ and newer generation | Prefer for new designs needing >300mA or tighter dropout; AP133 remains valid for legacy qualification |
Compared with AP7330-WG-7, AP133-SNG-7 offers design flexibility via adjustable output and enable control, while AP7343-SNG-7 improves on current capability and dropout but trades off 10μA higher quiescent current - making AP133 optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-limited legacy portable designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum output capacitor value required for stability with AP133-SNG-7?
The AP133-SNG-7 is stable with a minimum 1μF X7R or X5R ceramic output capacitor. Lower ESR values (10–100mΩ) are recommended, and capacitance may be increased up to 4.7μF to improve load transient response. Placement must be adjacent to OUT and GND pins with short traces.
Can AP133-SNG-7 be used without the EN pin connected?
Yes - if enable functionality is not needed, the EN pin must be tied directly to the IN pin to ensure continuous operation. Leaving EN floating is not permitted, as it may cause erratic on/off behavior due to noise susceptibility and undefined logic state.
What is the maximum junction temperature before thermal shutdown activates?
Thermal shutdown triggers at approximately +145°C junction temperature, with +20°C hysteresis. The device resumes normal operation once junction temperature falls to ~+125°C. This protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design without requiring external thermal monitoring.
How does the ADJ pin reference voltage affect output accuracy?
The ADJ pin references an internal 0.8V ±2% bandgap voltage. Output accuracy depends on both this reference tolerance and resistor divider ratio precision. Using 1% resistors yields total output error within ±3%, meeting typical digital core supply requirements without calibration.
