Product details
Overview
AP2205-33W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 3.3V ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator IC designed for space-constrained, battery-powered systems. It delivers up to 200mA output current with 100mV dropout at 100µA load, 60dB PSRR at 1kHz, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and ultra-low 36µA ground current at light load - enabling stable USB peripheral and portable device power rails.
For engineers reviewing the AP2205-33W5-7 datasheet, AP2205-33W5-7 pinout, AP2205-33W5-7 application, or AP2205-33W5-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.3V–24V wide input range, thermal/overcurrent protection, enable-controlled shutdown, compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors, and SOT25 package footprint for compact PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AP2205-33W5-7 integrates a precision 1.24V bandgap reference, error amplifier, current-limit circuit, thermal shutdown, reverse-current protection, and logic-level enable input. Its internal architecture supports stable regulation across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature with <±100ppm/°C output voltage drift.
It operates in low-power shutdown mode drawing only 0.01µA standby current and features adjustable startup timing via external RC on the EN pin. The fixed 3.3V output eliminates external feedback resistors while maintaining ±0.5% load regulation (1mA–200mA) and ±0.05% line regulation (VIN = VOUT+1V to 24V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2% - ensures compatible logic-level supply for 3.3V microcontrollers and I/O without external resistor network. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3V to 24V - supports direct connection to single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), multi-cell batteries, or industrial 12V/24V rails. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV @ 100µA load - enables regulation down to VIN = 3.4V, critical for extending battery runtime in low-VIN conditions. |
| PSRR | 60dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters, preserving signal integrity in ADCs and RF sections. |
| Ground Current | 36µA @ 100µA load - minimizes quiescent power loss, essential for always-on sensor nodes and backup power domains. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(HI) ≥ 2.0V, VEN(LO) ≤ 0.4V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIOs for precise system-level power sequencing control. |
| Thermal Protection | Integrated OTP with automatic recovery - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking in SOT25 package. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (SC-74A) surface-mount package: 5-pin, 2.8mm × 2.9mm footprint, 1.05mm height, lead-free matte tin plating, moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.3V–24V unregulated input; requires 1.0µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed near pin. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for load current and internal bias; must connect to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| 3 - EN | Logic-enable control input | Active-high enable; drives regulator into 0.01µA shutdown when pulled ≤0.4V; supports GPIO-driven power gating. |
| 4 - ADJ/NC | Adjust pin / Not connected | No connection required for fixed-output version; left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice. |
| 5 - VOUT | Regulated 3.3V output | Delivers up to 200mA; requires 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor with ESR < 100mΩ for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide input range (2.3V–24V) | Eliminates need for pre-regulation stages in mixed-voltage systems, reducing BOM count and board area. |
| Ultra-low 36µA ground current @ 100µA load | Extends battery life in IoT sensors and wearables by minimizing idle power consumption. |
| 60dB PSRR @ 1kHz | Enables clean analog/RF power domains without additional LC filtering, lowering component cost and EMI risk. |
| Integrated reverse-current protection | Prevents backfeed from VOUT to VIN during input brownout or hot-swap events, protecting upstream sources. |
| Thermal shutdown with auto-recovery | Allows safe operation under transient overloads without latch-up, simplifying thermal design in sealed enclosures. |
| Low-ESR ceramic capacitor compatible | Supports compact, high-reliability designs using X5R/X7R MLCCs instead of bulkier tantalum or aluminum electrolytics. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ULDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1703T-3302E/MB | 3.3V fixed, 250mA max, 600mV dropout @ 250mA, higher quiescent current (2.5µA typical) | Larger dropout limits use below 3.9V input; better suited for higher-current, less space-constrained designs | Select when >200mA output or tighter thermal margin is required; avoid for sub-3.5V battery operation. |
| Torex XC6210B332MR-G | 3.3V fixed, 150mA max, 120mV dropout @ 100µA, 1.0µA quiescent current, SOT23-5 package | Lower current rating and smaller package reduce thermal mass; lacks EN pin and reverse-current protection | Choose for ultra-low-IQ battery-only apps where enable control and fault protection are secondary priorities. |
Compared with MCP1703T-3302E/MB and XC6210B332MR-G, the AP2205-33W5-7 uniquely balances 200mA capability, 100mV dropout, 36µA IQ, integrated EN and reverse-current protection, and SOT25 footprint - making it optimal for compact, battery-sensitive USB and portable systems requiring robust fault coverage.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 3.3V output?
The AP2205-33W5-7 maintains regulation down to VIN = VOUT + VDROP = 3.3V + 0.1V = 3.4V under light load (100µA). At 200mA load, dropout rises to 460mV, requiring VIN ≥ 3.76V. The absolute minimum VIN is 2.3V, but regulation is not guaranteed below 3.4V.
Can the AP2205-33W5-7 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes - the AP2205-33W5-7 is explicitly designed for low-ESR ceramic capacitors. A 2.2µF X5R/X7R MLCC with ESR < 100mΩ is recommended for stability. Tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors are unnecessary and may degrade phase margin.
Does the EN pin require a pull-up resistor?
No external pull-up is required. The EN pin has an internal weak pull-down; applying ≥2.0V (e.g., from a GPIO) enables the regulator. Leaving EN open disables the device, drawing only 0.01µA standby current - ideal for simple on/off control without extra components.
Is the AP2205-33W5-7 qualified for automotive applications?
The standard AP2205-33W5-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., AP2205-33W5-7Q) with PPAP capability, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and extended temperature screening. Contact Diodes or Aetrix for qualified part numbers and qualification reports.
