Product details
Overview
AP2205-15W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 1.5V ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator in SOT25 package, delivering up to 200mA output current with 100mV dropout at 100µA load. It operates across 2.3V–24V input range, achieves ±2% output voltage accuracy, and provides 60dB PSRR at 1kHz-designed for USB-powered portable devices requiring stable low-voltage biasing.
For engineers reviewing the AP2205-15W5-7 datasheet, AP2205-15W5-7 pinout, AP2205-15W5-7 application, or AP2205-15W5-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its wide VIN range, ultra-low quiescent current (36µA at 100µA load), thermal shutdown, reverse current protection, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The AP2205-15W5-7 integrates a precision 1.24V bandgap reference, error amplifier, and current-limit circuit within a high-voltage EPNP process. Its internal resistor network fixes VOUT at 1.5V, eliminating external feedback components while maintaining ±2% regulation over line, load, and temperature (±100ppm/°C).
Enable control (EN pin) supports low-power shutdown mode with standby current as low as 0.01µA, and the device includes overtemperature protection, overcurrent limiting, and reverse-current blocking-ensuring robust operation in battery-backed and industrial power rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5V ±2% - eliminates need for external resistive divider; suitable for powering low-voltage logic and RF bias circuits. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3V to 24V - supports single-cell Li-ion, multi-cell alkaline, and industrial 12V/24V rails without pre-regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 200mA at VOUT ≥ 1.8V; 150mA at VOUT = 1.5V - defined by thermal limits and dropout behavior per datasheet Table 3. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV @ IOUT = 100µA; 320mV @ IOUT = 100mA - enables regulation even when VIN approaches VOUT, critical for battery end-of-life operation. |
| PSRR | 60dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Quiescent Current | 36µA @ IOUT = 100µA - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and portable instrumentation. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Active at TJ ≈ +150°C - prevents damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heat sinking. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (SC-74A) package: 5-pin surface-mount, 3.0mm × 1.6mm footprint, 1.1mm height, lead-free matte tin plating, moisture sensitivity level 1 (J-STD-020).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.3V–24V; requires 1.0µF ceramic input capacitor for stability and transient response. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for load, bias, and enable circuits; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic: >2.0V enables regulator; <0.4V disables output and reduces IQ to ≤1.0µA. |
| 4 (ADJ/NC) | Adjust/No-connect terminal | No-connect for fixed-output variants; left floating or grounded per layout best practice-no external components required. |
| 5 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.5V ±2% to load; requires 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor for stability and ripple suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide input voltage range | 2.3V–24V enables direct connection to unregulated battery or industrial bus without pre-buck stage. |
| Ultra-low dropout | 100mV at light load allows operation down to VIN = 1.6V for 1.5V output-critical for single-cell LiFePO₄ systems. |
| Low-noise, high-PSRR regulation | 60dB rejection at 1kHz and 30µVRMS output noise support sensitive analog/RF circuitry without additional filtering. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown, overcurrent limit, and reverse-current blocking eliminate need for external protection components. |
| Low-ESR capacitor compatible | Stable with 2.2µF X5R/X7R ceramic output cap-reduces board area vs. tantalum or electrolytic alternatives. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low dropout linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1703T-1502E/MB | 1.5V fixed, 250mA, 600mV dropout @ 250mA, 3µA IQ, SOT23-5 | Higher dropout limits use below 2.1V input; lower IQ benefits ultra-low-power sleep modes. | Select when minimum IQ dominates design priority and input headroom exceeds 600mV. |
| Torex XC6219B152MR-G | 1.5V fixed, 300mA, 160mV dropout @ 100mA, 1.25µA IQ, SOT25 | Lower dropout than AP2205 at medium loads but rated only to 6V VIN-unsuitable for 12V/24V systems. | Select for sub-6V battery applications where tighter dropout and lower IQ justify reduced input range. |
Compared with MCP1703T-1502E/MB and XC6219B152MR-G, the AP2205-15W5-7 uniquely balances wide-input capability (2.3–24V), ultra-low dropout at light loads (100mV), and integrated protections-making it optimal for mixed-supply industrial and portable systems where input voltage variability and reliability are primary constraints.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 1.5V output?
The AP2205-15W5-7 requires VIN ≥ 2.3V to operate, but regulation is only guaranteed when VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROP. At 100µA load, VDROP = 100mV, so VIN ≥ 1.6V suffices-but datasheet specifies 2.3V minimum for full parameter compliance across temperature and process variation.
Can the AP2205-15W5-7 be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 2.2µF?
No. The datasheet specifies 2.2µF minimum ceramic output capacitance (X5R/X7R) for stability across all operating conditions. Using smaller values risks oscillation or degraded transient response, especially under load steps from 1mA to 150mA.
Does the EN pin require a pull-up resistor when interfaced with a 1.8V GPIO?
Yes. Since the EN "high" threshold is 2.0V minimum, a 1.8V GPIO cannot reliably enable the device. A level-shifter or pull-up to ≥2.0V (e.g., to 3.3V rail) is required; alternatively, use an open-drain driver with external pull-up.
Is the AP2205-15W5-7 qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q100?
No. While Diodes offers AEC-Q100-qualified variants in the AP2205 family (e.g., AP2205Q series), the AP2205-15W5-7 is a standard-grade part. Automotive use requires explicit qualification confirmation from Diodes' automotive team and PPAP documentation.
