Product details
Overview
AP139-30WL-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0V, 300mA low-noise CMOS LDO linear 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 regulation.
For engineers reviewing the AP139-30WL-7 datasheet, AP139-30WL-7 pinout, AP139-30WL-7 application, or AP139-30WL-7 equivalent, key selection considerations include dropout performance at full load, bypass capacitor dependency for PSRR enhancement, EN pin logic polarity and leakage, thermal resistance (θJA = 226°C/W), and compatibility with 1.0μF low-ESR ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP139 employs a pMOS pass transistor architecture with internal voltage reference and error amplifier feedback loop, enabling stable regulation across input voltages from 2.7V to 5.5V. Its enable circuitry pulls down the pass device when EN < 0.8V, reducing quiescent current to ≤3.0μA in shutdown mode.
PSRR is actively enhanced by the BYP pin: a 10nF capacitor between BYP and GND improves rejection to 75dB at 1kHz (vs. 60dB without), while maintaining stability with ≥1.0μF output capacitance-critical for noise-sensitive RF or ADC supply rails in compact handheld devices.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0V ±2% at 1mA, ensuring precise biasing for 3.3V-tolerant I/O or low-voltage microcontrollers. |
| Max Output Current | Guaranteed 300mA continuous, supporting moderate-power peripherals like Bluetooth modules or sensor arrays. |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤0.45V at 300mA (VOUT ≥ 2.8V), enabling operation down to VIN = 3.45V-critical for single-cell Li-ion or Li-poly systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 45μA typ / 60μA max, minimizing standby drain in always-on battery applications such as wearables. |
| PSRR @ 1kHz | 75dB with 10nF BYP cap, suppressing switching noise from DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at TJ = +130°C with +20°C hysteresis, protecting against sustained overload in sealed enclosures. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V, compatible with USB-powered, coin-cell, and multi-cell alkaline/battery sources. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin, 2.9mm × 2.8mm × 1.3mm) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected); RoHS-compliant, halogen-free "Green" construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input Power Supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5V; requires ≥0.1μF local decoupling to suppress high-frequency ripple. |
| GND | Analog/Digital Ground | Common return path for all internal circuits; must be low-impedance and adjacent to VIN/VOUT caps. |
| EN | Active-Low Enable | Pulled low (<0.8V) disables regulator; floats high or driven high (>1.7V) enables operation. |
| BYP | Noise Reduction Control | Connects to 10nF capacitor to ground to boost PSRR-essential for analog/RF supply filtering. |
| VOUT | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 3.0V; requires ≥1.0μF low-ESR ceramic capacitor directly at pin for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Dropout Operation | Enables >90% efficiency at light loads and extends usable battery life in 3.0V-output systems. |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 45μA typ allows multi-year operation on coin cells in IoT sensors or real-time clocks. |
| BYP Pin for PSRR Tuning | Configurable 10nF bypass capacitor raises PSRR by 15dB at 1kHz-key for clean ADC reference supplies. |
| Integrated Protection | Current limit (300–450mA) and thermal shutdown prevent damage during short-circuit or ambient overtemperature. |
| Stability with Low-ESR Caps | Works reliably with 1.0μF X5R/X7R ceramics-reducing BOM count vs. tantalum or electrolytic alternatives. |
Applications
| Wireless Headsets | Smart Wearables |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary LDO supplying regulated 3.0V to Bluetooth SoC and MEMS microphone bias circuitry. Use Value: 45μA IQ minimizes battery drain during idle; 75dB PSRR with BYP cap suppresses 2.4GHz switching noise coupling into audio path. | Use Scenario: Fitness tracker with optical heart-rate sensor, accelerometer, and OLED display powered from single Li-poly cell. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main system LDO delivering stable 3.0V to MCU, sensor interface, and display driver ICs. Use Value: 0.45V dropout enables >3.5-hour runtime at full brightness down to 3.45V battery voltage; thermal shutdown prevents overheating in wrist-worn enclosure. |
| USB-C Peripheral Hubs | Industrial Handheld Scanners |
Use Scenario: Multi-port USB hub with integrated PD controller and status LEDs, powered via 5V USB-C input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary LDO generating clean 3.0V for USB PHY termination resistors and LED driver logic. Use Value: Input range up to 5.5V accommodates USB-C VBUS tolerance; low ESR stability avoids need for bulky input filtering. | Use Scenario: Rugged barcode scanner using CMOS image sensor and laser diode driver, operating in warehouse environments (-20°C to +60°C). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Local LDO providing 3.0V to microcontroller and sensor interface under intermittent high-current laser pulses.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7343-30SG-7 | Successor part: lower IQ (2.5μA typ), improved PSRR (80dB @1kHz), same SOT25 footprint. | Designed for next-gen ultra-low-power designs; pin-compatible but not drop-in due to different BYP behavior. | Select for new designs requiring longer battery life and higher noise immunity-requires validation of BYP capacitor value. |
| MCP1700-3002E/MB | Microchip part: 1.6μA IQ, 6V max input, but only 250mA rated output and no BYP pin. | Lacks PSRR tuning capability; suited for simpler, lower-current applications where noise sensitivity is minimal. | Choose when ultra-low IQ dominates over PSRR and full 300mA load capability is not required. |
Compared with AP139-30WL-7, AP7343-30SG-7 offers superior standby efficiency and noise rejection but requires updated BYP design; MCP1700-3002E/MB trades off output current and PSRR flexibility for extreme quiescent savings in low-duty-cycle sensing nodes.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for 3.0V output at 300mA load?
The AP139-30WL-7 requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROPOUT = 3.0V + 0.45V = 3.45V at 300mA. Below this, regulation fails and output drops linearly with input. The absolute minimum VIN is 2.7V, but usable regulation at full load begins at 3.45V per datasheet dropout specification.
Is the BYP pin mandatory for stable operation?
No-the BYP pin is optional and used solely to improve PSRR; the AP139-30WL-7 remains stable without it. However, omitting the 10nF BYP-to-GND capacitor reduces PSRR by ~15dB at 1kHz, which may compromise noise-sensitive analog circuits like ADC references or RF receivers.
Can AP139-30WL-7 be used in automotive applications?
No-AP139-30WL-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified and is marked NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs). Diodes explicitly states that automotive-grade variants require separate qualification, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing-none of which apply to this SOT25 commercial-grade part.
What happens to output voltage during thermal shutdown?
During thermal shutdown (triggered at TJ ≥ +130°C), the AP139-30WL-7 forces VOUT low and disables the pass transistor. Output remains near 0V until junction temperature falls below +110°C (20°C hysteresis), at which point normal regulation resumes automatically without external intervention.
