Product details
Overview
AP139-33WL-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.3V, 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 AP139-33WL-7 datasheet, AP139-33WL-7 pinout, AP139-33WL-7 application, or AP139-33WL-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at full load, PSRR performance at 1kHz–100kHz with 10nF bypass, EN pin threshold (1.7V high/0.8V low), stability with ≥1.0μF low-ESR output capacitor, and thermal shutdown activation at +130°C.
Technical Context
The AP139-33WL-7 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 enable logic is active-high, with sub-2μA standby current when EN is pulled low.
It operates in voltage-mode regulation under normal load and transitions to current-mode limiting above 300mA, with overtemperature protection triggering at +130°C and hysteresis of +20°C. Stability is ensured with ≥1.0μF ceramic output capacitor and mandatory 10nF BYP-to-GND capacitor for noise suppression.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2% at 1mA, ensuring compatibility with 3.3V logic and I/O domains. |
| Max Output Current | Guaranteed 300mA continuous, supporting microcontrollers, sensors, and RF modules in portable systems. |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤0.45V at 300mA, enabling operation down to VIN = 3.75V 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 capacitor, suppressing ripple from noisy DC-DC stages feeding the LDO. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at TJ = +130°C with +20°C hysteresis, preventing permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(H) ≥ 1.7V enables regulation; VEN(L) ≤ 0.8V disables output and reduces IQ to <2μA. |
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. Thermal resistance θJA = 226°C/W on standard FR-4 board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input power supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5V; requires ≥0.1μF input capacitor close to pin for stability. |
| GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuits; must connect to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| EN | Active-high enable control | Pulled high internally; driven low to disable regulator and reduce IQ to <2μA. |
| BYP | Noise reduction bypass node | Connects to 10nF capacitor to GND to improve PSRR and suppress high-frequency noise. |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 3.3V ±2%; requires ≥1.0μF low-ESR ceramic capacitor directly at pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise regulation | 75dB PSRR at 1kHz with 10nF BYP cap-critical for powering ADCs, PLLs, and RF receivers. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 45μA typ enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors at 10μA average system load. |
| Robust protection suite | Integrated current limit (300–450mA) and thermal shutdown (+130°C) prevent field failures without external circuitry. |
| Wide input voltage range | 2.7–5.5V operation supports single Li-ion, dual alkaline, or USB-powered designs without pre-regulation. |
| Stability with low-ESR caps | Works reliably with 1.0μF ceramic output capacitors-reducing BOM cost and PCB area vs. tantalum alternatives. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP139-33WL-7 to maintain regulation at 300mA?
The minimum input voltage is calculated as VOUT + VDROPOUT = 3.3V + 0.45V = 3.75V. Below this, the device enters dropout and output voltage declines linearly with VIN. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under VDROPOUT test condition IO = 300mA and VOUT ≥ 2.8V.
Can AP139-33WL-7 operate without the 10nF BYP capacitor?
No-the datasheet explicitly states that a 10nF capacitor between BYP and GND is necessary for low-noise operation. Omitting it degrades PSRR by up to 25dB at 1kHz and increases output noise, compromising performance in noise-sensitive analog or RF circuits.
Is AP139-33WL-7 pin-compatible with AP7343-33WG-7?
Yes-both use identical SOT25 packaging with matching pinout (VIN, GND, EN, BYP, VOUT). The AP7343-33WG-7 is Diodes' designated successor, offering enhanced specs while maintaining mechanical and electrical compatibility for seamless migration.
Does AP139-33WL-7 support reverse polarity protection?
No-the device lacks internal reverse-voltage protection. Applying reversed input voltage may damage the pMOS pass transistor. External protection (e.g., series Schottky diode or ideal diode controller) is required if reverse polarity exposure is possible in the end application.
