Product details
Overview
AP7115-12WG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 150mA fixed-output (1.2V) low-dropout linear regulator in SOT25 package, featuring 200mV dropout at full load, ±2% output accuracy, and 50µA quiescent current. It integrates current-limit, thermal shutdown, and enable control for battery-powered wireless handsets and mobile peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the AP7115-12WG-7 datasheet, AP7115-12WG-7 pinout, AP7115-12WG-7 application, or AP7115-12WG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under 150mA load, EN-controlled shutdown behavior, BP bypass capacitor requirements, and thermal resistance (θJA = 200°C/W) for compact PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AP7115-12WG-7 uses a PMOS pass element with bandgap reference and error amplifier feedback to regulate 1.2V output across 2.5–5.5V input. Its internal current-limit circuit clamps output at 200–250mA and enables indefinite short-circuit survival without damage.
Thermal shutdown activates at +150°C junction temperature and resets after ~30°C cooldown. The BP pin accepts a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to reduce output noise, while EN provides logic-level on/off control with <0.1µA leakage and 0.7V/2.0V VIH/VIL thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2V ±2% - ensures stable core voltage for low-power microcontrollers and RF ICs |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV (typ.) at 150mA - enables operation down to 1.4V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or alkaline systems |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA (typ.) - minimizes standby power loss in always-on sensor nodes and sleep-mode peripherals |
| PSRR | 70dB at 1kHz - suppresses ripple from noisy DC-DC stages feeding sensitive analog circuits |
| Current Limit | 200–250mA (typ.) - protects downstream circuitry during fault conditions without external fusing |
| Thermal Shutdown | +150°C activation - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| EN Input Threshold | VIL ≤ 0.7V / VIH ≥ 2.0V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin, 2.8mm × 2.9mm × 1.3mm) surface-mount package with exposed pad for thermal enhancement; RoHS-compliant, halogen-free "Green" molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| 3 EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic; drives regulator ON/OFF; tie to VIN if shutdown not required |
| 4 BP | Bandgap reference bypass | Connects 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND to reduce output voltage noise by >30% |
| 5 OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 1.2V ±2% at up to 150mA; stable with ≥1µF ceramic output capacitor |
Key Features

| Ultra-low quiescent current | 50µA typ. extends battery life in IoT sensors operating >95% in sleep mode |
| Integrated protection suite | Current limit + thermal shutdown + short-circuit survival prevent field failures |
| High PSRR & fast transient response | 70dB PSRR at 1kHz and rapid load-step recovery suit RF transceiver power rails |
| BP pin noise reduction | 0.1µF BP-to-GND cap cuts output noise by 50µVrms (10Hz–100kHz), critical for ADC references |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP7115-12WG-7 to maintain 1.2V output at 150mA?
The minimum input voltage is 1.4V, calculated as VOUT + VDO = 1.2V + 0.2V. The datasheet guarantees regulation down to 2.5V input, but operation below that is feasible if dropout margin is maintained and thermal limits are observed. At 1.4V input, power dissipation drops to 30mW, well within SOT25's 500mW absolute maximum.
Can the BP pin be left unconnected if low-noise performance is not required?
No-leaving BP floating risks instability and increased output noise. The BP pin must be connected to GND through a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor, as specified in the Application Note. Omitting this capacitor degrades PSRR by up to 15dB and increases RMS noise from 50µV to >100µV, compromising ADC or RF circuit performance.
Does AP7115-12WG-7 support reverse-voltage protection?
No-the device lacks intrinsic reverse-polarity protection. If input can be reversed (e.g., during hot-swap or battery insertion), an external series Schottky diode or ideal diode controller is required. Reverse voltage beyond –0.3V on IN or OUT may cause latch-up or permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
How does thermal shutdown behave during continuous overload?
When junction temperature reaches +150°C, the regulator shuts off completely. It remains off until temperature falls by ~30°C (to ~120°C), then resumes regulation. This hysteresis prevents oscillation. Under sustained 150mA load at 5.5V input, θJA = 200°C/W limits ambient operation to +55°C unless board copper area is increased per Diodes' recommended pad layout.
