Product details
Overview
AP2205-W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a wide-input, ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator IC in SOT25 package, delivering 200mA output current with 1.5V fixed output voltage, 2.3V–24V input range, 100mV dropout at 100µA, and ±2% output accuracy-designed for USB-powered portable devices requiring stable low-noise power under variable battery conditions.
For engineers reviewing the AP2205-W5-7 datasheet, AP2205-W5-7 pinout, AP2205-W5-7 application, or AP2205-W5-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low quiescent current (36µA at 100µA load), 60dB PSRR at 1kHz, thermal shutdown, reverse current protection, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors-critical for battery life extension and noise-sensitive analog subsystems.
Technical Context
The AP2205-W5-7 integrates a precision 1.24V bandgap reference, error amplifier, resistor network for fixed 1.5V output, current-limit circuit, enable-controlled low-power shutdown mode, and overtemperature protection. Its EPNP high-voltage process enables operation down to 2.3V input while maintaining regulation up to 24V.
It features active reverse current blocking, line/load regulation better than 0.05%/0.5%, and output voltage temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C. Startup time is adjustable via external RC on EN pin, supporting controlled power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5V ±2% - ensures stable core logic or low-voltage sensor bias without external feedback components. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3V to 24V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), multi-cell alkaline/NiMH, and industrial 12–24V rails. |
| Max Output Current | 200mA @ VOUT > 1.8V; 150mA @ VOUT ≤ 1.8V - sufficient for microcontrollers, RF modules, and low-power displays. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV @ IOUT = 100µA; 320mV @ IOUT = 100mA - enables regulation even as battery discharges below 1.6V. |
| PSRR | 60dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Quiescent Current | 36µA @ IOUT = 100µA - extends battery runtime in always-on monitoring or sleep-mode applications. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at TJ ≥ +150°C - protects device during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (SC-74A) package: 5-pin surface-mount, 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint, 0.95mm height, lead-free matte tin plating, moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.3–24V; requires 1.0µF ceramic input capacitor for stability and transient response. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Common return path for internal circuits and output load; must be low-impedance PCB plane. |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic: ≥2.0V enables regulator; ≤0.4V disables output and reduces IQ to 0.01µA. |
| 4 - ADJ/NC | Adjust pin / Not connected | No connection required for fixed-output version; left floating or grounded per layout best practice. |
| 5 - VOUT | Regulated output terminal | Delivers 1.5V ±2%; requires 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor for loop stability and ripple suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide input voltage range | 2.3V–24V enables single-LDO support across diverse battery chemistries and industrial supplies. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 36µA at light load preserves battery capacity in long-duration IoT sensor nodes. |
| Reverse current protection | Blocks backflow from VOUT to VIN when input is removed-prevents system-level power corruption. |
| Low-noise output | 30µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) avoids interference in ADC references, audio codecs, and RF receivers. |
| Thermal & overcurrent protection | Integrated OTP and current limit prevent damage during short-circuit or PCB thermal overload. |
Applications
| Wearable Health Monitor | Industrial Sensor Node |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low dropout regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1703T-1502E/MB | 1.5V fixed, 250mA, 600mV dropout @ 250mA, 3µA IQ - higher dropout, lower IQ, SOT89 only. | Lacks reverse current protection and EN pin; unsuitable for bidirectional power domains. | Prefer when lowest possible standby current outweighs dropout and protection requirements. |
| Torex XC6219B152MR-G | 1.5V fixed, 300mA, 160mV dropout @ 100mA, 1µA IQ - lower dropout than MCP1703 but no EN or thermal shutdown. | No enable control or overtemperature protection; limited to simple always-on loads. | Choose for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where full protection features are not required. |
Compared with MCP1703T-1502E/MB and XC6219B152MR-G, the AP2205-W5-7 uniquely combines ultra-low IQ, integrated EN, reverse current blocking, and thermal shutdown in a compact SOT25 package-making it optimal for battery-critical, safety-aware, and noise-sensitive embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2205-W5-7 to regulate 1.5V output?
The AP2205-W5-7 requires VIN ≥ 2.3V to operate, but stable regulation at 1.5V output demands VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROP. At 100µA load, dropout is 100mV, so minimum functional VIN is 1.6V - however, datasheet specifies 2.3V absolute minimum due to internal circuitry headroom and guaranteed performance across temperature.
Can AP2205-W5-7 be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 2.2µF?
Yes, but stability and transient response degrade. The datasheet specifies 2.2µF ceramic (X5R/X7R) as minimum for guaranteed phase margin and PSRR performance. Using 1.0µF may cause ringing under load steps and reduce PSRR by up to 15dB at 100kHz; 2.2µF ensures robust loop compensation per design validation.
Does AP2205-W5-7 support adjustable output voltage configurations?
No - AP2205-W5-7 is the fixed 1.5V version. Adjustable variants use part numbers like AP2205-ADJW5-7 with ADJ pin exposed. This variant has ADJ/NC pin internally tied to feedback network; connecting external resistors will not alter output voltage and may impair regulation.
How does the EN pin behave during power-up and brown-out conditions?
The EN pin has hysteresis: rising threshold is ≥2.0V, falling threshold is ≤0.4V. During slow VIN ramp-up, regulator enables only after EN reaches 2.0V; during brown-out, it remains enabled until EN drops below 0.4V - preventing chatter near threshold and ensuring clean power sequencing without external debouncing.
