Product details
Overview
AP133-WG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 300mA adjustable-output low-dropout linear regulator in SOT25 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 minimal standby power and fast transient response.
For engineers reviewing the AP133-WG-7 datasheet, AP133-WG-7 pinout, AP133-WG-7 application, or AP133-WG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-IQ operation across input range (2V–6V), thermal shutdown at +145°C, current limit protection (600mA typ.), and compatibility with 1µF ceramic output capacitors - critical for space-constrained mobile designs.
Technical Context
The AP133 integrates a PMOS pass transistor, precision 0.8V bandgap reference, error amplifier, and enable-controlled gate driver. Its architecture enables low dropout without external PNP transistors while maintaining stability with ultra-low-ESR ceramic capacitors.
Protection circuitry includes foldback current limiting (600mA typ.), short-circuit clamping (120mA), and thermal shutdown with 20°C hysteresis. The EN pin provides active-high logic control with VIH ≥ 1.4V and VIL ≤ 0.4V, supporting direct microcontroller interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 300mA max - supports baseband processors and RF ICs in handheld devices without thermal derating at ambient ≤+85°C |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA typ. - enables >340µA standby current reduction vs. 140µA alternatives, extending GSM phone standby time by ~1.4× |
| Dropout Voltage | 350mV at 300mA - maintains regulation down to VIN = VOUT + 0.35V, preserving headroom for Li-ion batteries at end-of-discharge |
| PSRR | 65dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from DC/DC converters feeding RF/analog blocks in cellular handsets |
| Start-up Time | 25µs typ. - allows real-time entry/exit from deep-sleep modes in DSP-based applications without supply glitches |
| Reference Voltage | 0.8V ±2% - sets output accuracy via external resistor divider; R2 ≤ 250kΩ ensures reference stability |
| Thermal Shutdown | +145°C threshold with +20°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 package: 5-pin surface-mount, 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint, 1.1mm height, RoHS-compliant "Green" molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Input voltage supply | Bypassed to GND with ≥0.1µF capacitor; accepts 2V–6V input; must be routed with wide copper trace for low impedance |
| 2 GND | Power ground reference | Common return path for IN, OUT, and ADJ; requires low-inductance connection to PCB ground plane |
| 3 EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic interface (VIH ≥ 1.4V); tie to IN if always-on operation required; drives internal gate driver |
| 4 ADJ | Feedback reference node | Connects to resistor divider (R1/R2) setting VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2); leakage <1µA preserves accuracy |
| 5 OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 1V–5V adjustable output; bypassed with 1µF–4.7µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low ESR capacitor support | Stable with 1µF ceramic output capacitor (10–100mΩ ESR), reducing BOM count and PCB area vs. tantalum solutions |
| Fast load transient response | Minimal overshoot/undershoot during 0→300mA load steps - sustains clean supply for GSM baseband ICs with 12.5% duty cycle |
| Adjustable output range | 1.0V–5.0V via external resistors - covers core voltages for DSPs (1.2V), I/O (1.8V/2.8V), RF (2.6V–3.0V), and analog (3.3V) |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (600mA), short-circuit clamp (120mA), and thermal shutdown (+145°C) eliminate need for external fault management circuitry |
| Ultra-low-noise operation | No added output noise beyond reference voltage drift; PSRR >65dB at 1kHz reduces ripple from noisy DC/DC sources |
Applications
| Cellular Baseband Power | GSM RF Front-End |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7330-WG-7 | 300mA, 25µA IQ, 200mV dropout at 300mA, fixed 3.3V output only | Lacks adjustability; optimized for fixed-rail systems where 3.3V suffices | Select when output voltage is fixed and lowest possible IQ is prioritized over flexibility |
| AP7343-WG-7 | 500mA, 35µA IQ, 220mV dropout, adjustable 1.2V–5.0V, DFN2020-6 only | Higher current capability and lower dropout; smaller DFN package requires tighter layout control | Select when higher load margin or improved thermal performance (θJA = 142°C/W) is needed |
Compared with AP133-WG-7, AP7330 offers lower quiescent current but no adjustability, while AP7343 provides higher current and lower dropout in a smaller package - both address newer design requirements where AP133 is marked "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGN."

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP133-WG-7 to regulate a 1.8V output?
The AP133-WG-7 requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROP. At 1.8V output and 300mA load, typical dropout is 350mV, so minimum VIN is 2.15V. Per datasheet Note 5, operation below VIN = 2.2V at cold temperatures may reduce output current capability, so 2.2V is recommended as practical minimum.
Can AP133-WG-7 operate without an external resistor divider?
No - the AP133-WG-7 is adjustable-only and requires an external R1/R2 divider connected between OUT, ADJ, and GND to set output voltage per VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2). Leaving ADJ unconnected or floating will result in undefined output voltage and potential instability.
Is the SOT25 package of AP133-WG-7 thermally adequate for 300mA continuous operation at +85°C ambient?
Yes - with θJA = 176°C/W and maximum junction temperature of +150°C, power dissipation at 300mA and 350mV dropout is 105mW, resulting in ΔT = 18.5°C rise. Junction temperature remains at ~104°C, well within safe limits for continuous operation at +85°C ambient.
Does AP133-WG-7 require a minimum load current to maintain regulation stability?
No - the AP133-WG-7 is specified for stable operation from zero load to full 300mA. Application Note confirms "no minimum load is required to keep the device stable," and it remains regulated in no-load condition, making it suitable for intermittent-power systems like RTC backups.
