Product details
Overview
AP139-25WG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 2.5V, 300mA low-noise CMOS LDO regulator in SOT25 package, featuring 45μA typical quiescent current, 0.45V max dropout at 300mA, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and integrated thermal shutdown/current limiting-designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable low-power biasing.
For engineers reviewing the AP139-25WG-7 datasheet, AP139-25WG-7 pinout, AP139-25WG-7 application, or AP139-25WG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under load, PSRR performance at 1kHz–100kHz with bypass capacitor, EN pin threshold (1.7V ON / 0.8V OFF), stability with ≥1.0μF low-ESR output cap, and thermal shutdown activation at +130°C.
Technical Context
The AP139-25WG-7 employs a pMOS pass transistor architecture with internal precision voltage reference and error amplifier feedback loop, enabling tight regulation across input range (2.7V–5.5V) and load (0–300mA). Its low-noise operation relies on external 10nF BYP-to-GND capacitor to suppress reference noise.
Enable control is active-high with <0.1μA leakage; pulling EN low disables the pass transistor and reduces quiescent current to ≤3μA. Protection logic integrates independent overcurrent detection (trip at 300–450mA) and thermal shutdown with +20°C hysteresis (activate at +130°C, recover at +110°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±2% at 1mA, ensuring stable core/bias rail for 2.5V logic or analog circuitry |
| Max Output Current | 300mA guaranteed, supporting moderate-power microcontrollers or sensors without derating |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤0.45V at 300mA, enabling operation down to VIN = 2.95V while maintaining regulation |
| Quiescent Current | 45μA typ / 60μA max, minimizing battery drain in always-on or sleep-mode applications |
| PSRR @ 1kHz | 75dB with 10nF BYP cap, rejecting low-frequency supply ripple in noise-sensitive analog stages |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at TJ = +130°C with +20°C hysteresis, preventing permanent damage during sustained overload |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V, compatible with single Li-ion, Li-poly, or 3.3V/5V system rails |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin, lead-free, RoHS-compliant, "Green" halogen/antimony-free package; 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, 1.1mm height).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power Input | Primary DC input (2.7–5.5V); requires ≥0.1μF local ceramic decoupling |
| GND | Ground Reference | Analog/digital common return; must be low-impedance and adjacent to BYP/VOUT |
| EN | Enable Control | Active-high logic input; <0.1μA leakage; pulls low to disable regulator and reduce IQ to ≤3μA |
| BYP | Reference Bypass | Connects 10nF capacitor to GND to filter internal reference noise and maximize PSRR |
| VOUT | Regulated Output | 2.5V ±2% output; stable with ≥1.0μF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-Noise Regulation | 75dB PSRR @ 1kHz with 10nF BYP cap enables clean power for ADCs, RF receivers, and precision op-amps |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 45μA typ ensures >1-year battery life in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors operating at 10μA average load |
| Robust Protection Suite | Integrated current limit (300–450mA trip) and thermal shutdown (+130°C / +20°C hysteresis) prevent field failure |
| Wide Input Compatibility | 2.7–5.5V input range supports direct connection to Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), USB (5V), or regulated 3.3V supplies |
| Small-Signal Stability | Stable with ≥1.0μF ceramic output cap (no ESR requirement), simplifying layout and reducing BOM count |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7343-25SG-7 | Successor device: 250mA, 25μA IQ, 0.22V dropout @ 250mA, same SOT25 package | Lower dropout and IQ, but reduced current rating; not drop-in for 300mA loads | Select when battery life > output current capability is prioritized and load ≤250mA |
| MCP1700-2502E/TO | Microchip 2.5V LDO: 250mA, 1.6μA IQ, 6V max input, TO-92 package | Through-hole mounting, ultra-low IQ, but larger footprint and no EN/BYP pins | Select for legacy through-hole designs where minimal standby current outweighs surface-mount density needs |
Compared with AP139-25WG-7, AP7343-25SG-7 offers superior efficiency at light loads but sacrifices 50mA output headroom, while MCP1700-2502E/TO trades SMT compactness and feature set for extreme ultra-low-IQ operation in non-space-constrained assemblies.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP139-25WG-7 to maintain 2.5V output at 300mA?
The minimum input voltage is calculated as VOUT + VDROPOUT = 2.5V + 0.45V = 2.95V. Below this, regulation fails and output drops linearly with input. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under VDROPOUT test condition (IO = 1mA to 300mA, VOUT ≥ 2.8V).
Can AP139-25WG-7 operate without the 10nF bypass capacitor on the BYP pin?
No - the 10nF capacitor between BYP and GND is mandatory for low-noise operation. Without it, PSRR degrades significantly (e.g., drops from 75dB to ~50dB at 1kHz), and output noise increases, compromising performance in analog/RF applications per Functional Description section.
Is AP139-25WG-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No - AP139-25WG-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. The datasheet explicitly states that automotive-grade variants require specific change control, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing; this part is marked NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs) and intended for commercial/industrial use only.
How does the EN pin behave during power-up and shutdown sequences?
The EN pin floats high internally; no external pull-up is needed. When pulled low (<0.8V), the pMOS pass transistor turns off completely, disabling output and reducing quiescent current to ≤3μA. During power-up, EN must exceed 1.7V to enable regulation - this threshold ensures immunity to slow-rising or noisy supply rails.
