Product details
Overview
AP139-28WG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 2.8V, 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 AP139-28WG-7 datasheet, AP139-28WG-7 pinout, AP139-28WG-7 application, or AP139-28WG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 300mA load, bypass capacitor dependency (10nF required), stability with ≥1.0μF low-ESR output capacitors, and EN pin logic behavior (active-low enable with <0.1μA leakage).
Technical Context
The AP139-28WG-7 employs a pMOS pass transistor architecture with internal voltage reference and error amplifier feedback, enabling precise regulation across input voltages from 2.7V to 5.5V. Its low-quiescent-current design (45μA typ) and thermal foldback protection activate at +130°C junction temperature with +20°C hysteresis.
Operation requires external 10nF bypass capacitor between BYP and GND to achieve low-noise performance; PSRR reaches 75dB at 1kHz with 10nF BYP cap. The device transitions from voltage-mode to current-mode regulation when load exceeds 300mA, limiting output to 450mA max under overcurrent conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8V ±2% at 1mA–300mA load, ensuring stable rail for 2.8V logic or analog circuitry. |
| Max Output Current | Guaranteed 300mA continuous; current limit activates at 300–450mA to prevent damage. |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤0.45V at 300mA (VOUT ≥ 2.8V), enabling operation down to VIN = 3.25V. |
| Quiescent Current | 45μA typical, 60μA max-critical for multi-day battery life in always-on sensors. |
| PSRR @ 1kHz | 75dB with 10nF BYP cap, suppressing ripple from noisy switching supplies. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at TJ = +130°C; resumes operation after cooling to +110°C (20°C hysteresis). |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V-compatible with single Li-ion, dual alkaline, or USB-powered systems. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin, lead-free, RoHS-compliant, "Green" halogen/antimony-free) surface-mount package with 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint and 1.1mm height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input Power Supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5V; requires ≥0.1μF input decoupling close to pin. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all internal circuits and output capacitor. |
| EN | Enable Control | Active-low logic input; pulls <0.1μA; floating defaults to ON; drives <2μA standby current when low. |
| BYP | Bypass Node | Connects to 10nF capacitor to GND to reduce noise and improve PSRR above 10kHz. |
| VOUT | Regulated Output | Delivers 2.8V ±2% with ≥1.0μF low-ESR ceramic output capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Dropout Operation | 0.45V max at full 300mA load enables use with weak or depleting batteries. |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 45μA typical allows >1-year runtime on coin-cell batteries in sleep-mode IoT nodes. |
| Integrated Protection | Thermal shutdown (+130°C) and current limiting (300–450mA) eliminate need for external fault management. |
| Bypass-Enhanced PSRR | 75dB @ 1kHz with 10nF BYP cap suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters. |
| Stability with Low-ESR Caps | Works reliably with 1.0μF+ ceramic output caps-no ESR tuning required for stability. |
Applications
| Wearable Health Monitor | USB-Powered Peripheral |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7343-28SAG-7 | Successor part: 2.8V, 300mA, 25μA IQ, improved PSRR (80dB @ 1kHz), same SOT25 package. | Lower IQ and higher PSRR suit ultra-low-power or high-EMI environments where AP139-28WG-7 may require additional filtering. | Select for new designs requiring longer battery life or stricter noise immunity; pin-compatible drop-in replacement. |
| MCP1700-2802E/TO | 2.8V, 250mA, 1.6μA IQ, TO-92 package; no BYP pin, lower current, different thermal profile. | Through-hole mounting and nano-power IQ benefit prototyping or low-volume industrial controls-but lacks current capability for portable loads. | Choose only for legacy through-hole assembly or sub-250mA applications where ultra-low IQ outweighs package size and output current needs. |
Compared with AP7343-28SAG-7, AP139-28WG-7 offers proven field reliability but higher IQ and lower PSRR; versus MCP1700-2802E/TO, it delivers 300mA in SOT25 but requires BYP capacitor and consumes more quiescent current-making it better suited for compact, moderate-power battery devices where board space is constrained.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP139-28WG-7 to maintain regulation at 300mA?
The minimum input voltage is calculated as VOUT + VDROPOUT = 2.8V + 0.45V = 3.25V. Below this, the device enters dropout and output voltage drops linearly with VIN. This value assumes worst-case 0.45V dropout at 300mA and 25°C ambient; derating is recommended for high-temperature operation.
Is the BYP pin mandatory, and what happens if it's left unconnected?
Yes-the 10nF BYP-to-GND capacitor is mandatory for specified low-noise and PSRR performance. Without it, PSRR degrades significantly (e.g., drops from 75dB to ~50dB at 1kHz), and output noise increases by >10×. Leaving BYP open violates the recommended operating conditions and risks unstable regulation under dynamic load.
Can AP139-28WG-7 be used in automotive applications?
No-AP139-28WG-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified and is marked NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs). Diodes offers automotive-grade alternatives like the AP7361 series, which undergo PPAP, operate across –40°C to +125°C, and are manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities.
How does the EN pin behave during power-up, and what pull-up is required?
The EN pin floats internally high and requires no external pull-up to enable operation. When pulled below 0.8V (VEL), the device shuts down with <2μA standby current. For controlled sequencing, a simple resistor divider or GPIO can drive EN; leakage is <0.1μA, so even high-value resistors (e.g., 10MΩ) ensure reliable logic levels.
