Product details
Overview
AP139-30WG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0V, 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 AP139-30WG-7 datasheet, AP139-30WG-7 pinout, AP139-30WG-7 application, or AP139-30WG-7 equivalent, key selection considerations include dropout performance at 300mA load, bypass capacitor dependency (10nF required between BYP and GND), EN pin logic behavior (active-low enable), stability with ≥1.0μF low-ESR output capacitors, and its NRND status versus AP7343 migration path.
Technical Context
The AP139 employs a pMOS pass transistor architecture with internal voltage reference and error amplifier feedback loop, enabling precise regulation across input voltages from 2.7V to 5.5V. Its low 45μA quiescent current and 0.45V dropout at full 300mA load support extended battery life in always-on subsystems.
Enable functionality disables the pass transistor and powers down internal circuitry, reducing standby current to <2.0μA. The BYP pin requires a 10nF capacitor to ground to suppress noise and improve PSRR-especially critical above 1kHz where PSRR reaches 75dB at 1kHz (with 10nF bypass) but degrades to 30dB at 100kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0V ±2% at 1mA–300mA load; enables direct replacement of 3.0V rail without external resistors. |
| Max Output Current | Guaranteed 300mA continuous; current limit activates at 300–450mA to prevent damage during overload. |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤0.45V at 300mA (VOUT = 3.0V); allows operation down to VIN = 3.45V while maintaining regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 45μA typ / 60μA max; minimizes battery drain in sleep modes of handheld devices. |
| PSRR @ 1kHz | 75dB with 10nF BYP capacitor; suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at TJ ≥ +130°C with +20°C hysteresis; protects against sustained overloads or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V; compatible with single Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), dual AA/AAA (3.0–3.6V), and USB-powered systems. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin, lead-free, RoHS-compliant, halogen- and antimony-free "Green" package) with 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint and 1.1mm height-optimized for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input Power Supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5V; requires ≥0.1μF ceramic decoupling capacitor close to pin. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return for all internal circuits; must connect to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| EN | Enable Control Input | Active-low logic: <0.8V disables regulator (IQ < 2μA); >1.7V enables operation. |
| BYP | Noise Reduction Node | Connects to 10nF capacitor to GND; essential for achieving specified PSRR and low-noise performance. |
| VOUT | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 3.0V ±2%; requires ≥1.0μF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Dropout Operation | 0.45V max at 300mA enables use with weak or depleted batteries without rail collapse. |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 45μA typ ensures >1-year shelf life in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors with periodic wake-up. |
| Integrated Protection | Thermal shutdown (+130°C trigger) and current limiting (300–450mA) eliminate need for external fault management circuitry. |
| Bypass-Enhanced PSRR | 75dB PSRR at 1kHz with 10nF BYP capacitor enables clean power for RF or ADC subsystems sharing noisy rails. |
| Stability with Low-ESR Caps | Operates stably with ≥1.0μF ceramic output capacitors-reducing BOM count vs. electrolytic/tantalum alternatives. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7343-30SAG-7 | Successor device: 300mA, 40μA IQ, 0.35V dropout, same SOT25 package, AEC-Q200 qualified option available. | Supports automotive-grade reliability requirements; improved thermal performance (θJA = 200°C/W vs. 226°C/W). | Select for new designs requiring longer product lifecycle, higher reliability, or automotive qualification pathways. |
| MCP1700-3002E/TO | 300mA, 1.6μA IQ (ultra-low), 6V max input, TO-92 package; no BYP pin or PSRR optimization. | Limited to low-noise-sensitive applications; lacks bypass-enhanced PSRR and thermal shutdown hysteresis. | Choose only when extreme quiescent current (<2μA) dominates over noise/thermal robustness in simple sensor nodes. |
Compared with AP139-30WG-7, AP7343-30SAG-7 offers lower dropout and better thermal metrics for next-gen portable designs, while MCP1700-3002E/TO trades off noise immunity and protection features for ultra-low IQ in cost-sensitive, non-critical applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP139-30WG-7 to maintain 3.0V output at 300mA?
The minimum input voltage is calculated as VOUT + VDROPOUT = 3.0V + 0.45V = 3.45V. This value is guaranteed per datasheet Section 6 (Electrical Characteristics), where dropout voltage is specified ≤0.45V at IOUT = 300mA and VOUT ≥ 2.8V. Below 3.45V, regulation fails and output drops linearly with input.
Is the BYP pin mandatory, and what happens if it's left unconnected?
Yes-the BYP pin must be connected to a 10nF capacitor to ground to achieve specified PSRR and low-noise performance. If left floating or unconnected, PSRR degrades significantly (e.g., drops from 75dB to ~40dB at 1kHz), and output noise increases, potentially disrupting sensitive analog or RF circuits powered by this LDO.
Does AP139-30WG-7 support reverse polarity or reverse current protection?
No-AP139-30WG-7 provides no built-in reverse polarity or reverse current protection. It lacks body-diode blocking or dedicated protection circuitry. External components (e.g., series Schottky diode or ideal diode controller) are required if input reversal or backfeed from VOUT to VIN is possible in the system.
Why is AP139-30WG-7 marked "Not Recommended for New Designs" (NRND)?
Diodes has designated AP139-30WG-7 as NRND because the AP7343 series offers superior specifications-including lower quiescent current (40μA vs. 45μA), lower dropout (0.35V vs. 0.45V), and enhanced thermal performance-while maintaining pin-to-pin compatibility and SOT25 packaging. Migration to AP7343-30SAG-7 is advised for all new designs.
