Product details
Overview
AP2205-33Y-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 3.3V, 200mA ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator in SOT89 package, featuring 2.3V–24V input range, 100mV dropout at 100µA, 60dB PSRR at 1kHz, ±2% output accuracy, and integrated thermal/overcurrent/reverse-current protection-designed for USB-powered portable devices requiring stable low-noise 3.3V rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the AP2205-33Y-13 datasheet, AP2205-33Y-13 pinout, AP2205-33Y-13 application, or AP2205-33Y-13 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated SOT89 pin functions, application-specific implementation insights, and two confirmed alternative parts with functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The AP2205-33Y-13 implements a high-voltage EPNP-based LDO architecture with internal 1.24V reference, error amplifier, and resistor network preset for 3.3V output. It supports enable-controlled shutdown with 0.01µA standby current and includes reverse-current blocking to prevent backfeed during input loss.
Its thermal shutdown activates at +150°C junction temperature, and overcurrent protection limits output to 200mA under nominal conditions (VIN–VOUT ≥ 1V). The device operates across –40°C to +125°C ambient and maintains ±100ppm/°C output voltage drift.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2% - ensures stable logic-level supply for 3.3V microcontrollers and peripherals without external feedback components. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3V to 24V - supports direct connection to single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), 5V USB, 12V industrial rails, and automotive battery systems (9–16V). |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV @ 100µA; 320mV @ 100mA - enables regulation down to VIN = 3.62V at full load, critical for battery-end-of-life operation. |
| PSRR | 60dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters, reducing need for additional filtering in noise-sensitive analog sections. |
| Quiescent Current | 36µA @ 100µA load; 0.01µA in shutdown - extends battery runtime in always-on monitoring circuits and low-power IoT endpoints. |
| Thermal Protection | Integrated OTP with automatic recovery - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking in compact enclosures. |
| Output Accuracy | ±2% over –40°C to +125°C - meets tight tolerance requirements for ADC references and precision sensor biasing without calibration. |
Pinout & Package
SOT89 package: 3-pin thermally enhanced surface-mount outline with exposed pad (connected to GND per datasheet Note 4); footprint compatible with JEDEC TO-243AA standard; 0.062g mass; moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Power ground return path and thermal conduction node; must be connected to large copper pour for thermal management. |
| 2 | VIN | Main input supply terminal; accepts up to 24V DC; requires 1.0µF ceramic input capacitor placed within 5mm. |
| 3 | VOUT | Regulated 3.3V output; drives load and supplies 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor; reverse-current blocking prevents discharge into input rail. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide input range (2.3–24V) | Eliminates need for pre-regulation stages when interfacing with diverse power sources including automotive batteries and multi-cell packs. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current (36µA) | Enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell–powered sensors operating at 10s-of-µA average current. |
| Low-noise output (30µVRMS) | Supports clean power delivery to RF transceivers and high-resolution ADCs without external LDO post-filtering. |
| Reverse current protection | Prevents VOUT from sourcing current into VIN during brown-out or hot-swap events, protecting upstream power sources and sequencing logic. |
| Enable control with 0.4V/2.0V thresholds | Allows direct interface with 1.8V/3.3V GPIOs for precise power sequencing and system-level sleep/wake coordination. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-3302E/TO | 300mA rated, 1.6µA IQ, but only 6V max input; no reverse-current protection. | Better for ultra-low-power sub-6V systems; unsuitable for 12V/24V automotive or industrial inputs. | Select when IQ < 2µA is mandatory and input stays ≤6V; verify external reverse-blocking diode if needed. |
| TLD1130F | 3.3V, 300mA, 40V abs max, AEC-Q100 qualified; higher 250µA IQ; no enable pin. | Designed for automotive body electronics with PPAP support; lacks programmable shutdown for power sequencing. | Choose for AEC-Q100-compliant designs where qualification documentation and 40V transient immunity outweigh IQ penalty. |
Compared with MCP1700-3302E/TO and TLD1130F, the AP2205-33Y-13 uniquely balances wide-input capability (24V), ultra-low IQ (36µA), enable control, and reverse-current blocking-making it optimal for portable and industrial 3.3V systems needing both flexibility and efficiency.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 3.3V output?
The AP2205-33Y-13 requires VIN ≥ 3.4V to maintain regulation at full 200mA load, based on its 320mV dropout specification at that current. At light loads (100µA), regulation is sustained down to VIN = 3.4V due to 100mV dropout. Input below 2.3V is outside recommended operating conditions and may cause undefined behavior.
Can the AP2205-33Y-13 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes-the AP2205-33Y-13 is explicitly designed for compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors. The datasheet specifies 2.2µF X5R/X7R ceramic at the output, and stability is guaranteed without requiring series resistance or tantalum alternatives. This reduces board area and improves reliability versus electrolytic solutions.
Does the SOT89 package require thermal pad connection to PCB ground?
Yes-the SOT89 substrate/exposed pad (Pin 1) must be connected to GND per Note 4 in the datasheet. This connection serves dual purposes: providing the primary thermal conduction path to the PCB and completing the internal ground reference for the regulator's error amplifier. Omitting this connection degrades thermal performance by ~40°C/W and risks instability.
How does the enable pin behave during power-up sequencing?
The EN pin has CMOS-compatible thresholds: logic HIGH ≥2.0V enables regulation; logic LOW ≤0.4V forces shutdown with 0.01µA standby current. During slow-rising VIN, the EN pin remains inactive until VIN exceeds ~2.3V, preventing premature turn-on. No external pull-up is required unless driven by open-drain logic.
