Product details
Overview
AP7115-25WG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 150mA fixed-output (2.5V) low-dropout linear regulator with shutdown control, PMOS pass element, and integrated thermal shutdown and current-limit protection. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input, delivers ±2% output accuracy, and draws only 50µA quiescent current-enabling long battery life in portable GSM/GPRS handsets and wireless peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the AP7115-25WG-7 datasheet, AP7115-25WG-7 pinout, AP7115-25WG-7 application, or AP7115-25WG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at full load (200mV typ.), EN-controlled enable/disable functionality, BP pin bypass capacitor requirement (0.1µF), and SOT25 package thermal resistance (θJA = 200°C/W).
Technical Context
The AP7115-25WG-7 uses a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout (200mV at 150mA) and near-zero gate-drive current, minimizing IQ contribution. Its bandgap reference is bypassed via the BP pin to suppress noise and improve PSRR (70dB at 1kHz).
Enable logic is active-high with VIH,EN ≥ 2.0V and VIL,EN ≤ 0.7V; shutdown current is 0.1µA max. Thermal shutdown activates at TJ ≈ +150°C and auto-recovers after ~30°C cooldown-critical for sustained operation in compact handheld enclosures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±2% - ensures stable core/peripheral rail for 2.5V logic and RF ICs without external feedback. |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV typ. at 150mA - enables regulation down to VIN = 2.7V, extending usable battery range in single-cell Li-ion or 3×AA systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA typ. - minimizes standby power loss, critical for always-on functions in mobile devices. |
| PSRR | 70dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Current Limit | 200–250mA - protects against short-circuit faults while allowing brief inrush during peripheral wake-up. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at +150°C junction temperature - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heat sinking. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), USB (5V), and multi-cell alkaline inputs. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin) surface-mount package with exposed pad not electrically connected; JEDEC MO-203AA compliant; footprint optimized for thermal dissipation on 2oz copper FR-4.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Voltage Input | Primary power entry; requires ≥1µF ceramic decoupling to GND for stability and EMI suppression. |
| 2 GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for input/output capacitors and BP bypass; must connect to low-impedance ground plane. |
| 3 EN | Enable Control | Active-high digital input; tie to VIN for always-on operation or drive with MCU GPIO for dynamic power gating. |
| 4 BP | Bandgap Bypass | Connect 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND to reduce output voltage noise and improve transient response. |
| 5 OUT | Voltage Output | Regulated 2.5V supply; requires ≥1µF ceramic output capacitor with ESR <1Ω for loop stability across load current (0–150mA). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Dropout Architecture | PMOS pass element enables 200mV dropout at full 150mA load-maximizing battery utilization in space-constrained designs. |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 50µA typical IQ supports >1-year shelf life in battery-backed IoT sensors and remote controls. |
| Integrated Protection | Current limit (250mA typ.), thermal shutdown (+150°C), and short-circuit robustness eliminate need for external fault management circuitry. |
| High PSRR & Low Noise | 70dB PSRR at 1kHz and 50µVrms output noise (10Hz–100kHz) support noise-sensitive analog/RF subsystems like ADCs and transceivers. |
| Green Packaging | SOT25 package is fully RoHS-compliant, lead-free, halogen-free, and antimony-free per Diodes Inc. definition (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb). |
Applications
| GSM/GPRS Handset Power Rail | Wireless Peripheral Core Supply |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Powers baseband processor I/O and SIM interface in dual-mode GSM/GPRS mobile phones operating from single-cell Li-ion battery (3.0–4.2V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary 2.5V LDO delivering clean, regulated voltage with fast load transient response to handle burst transmission current spikes. Use Value: 200mV dropout extends usable battery voltage down to 2.7V, adding ~8% runtime vs. higher-dropout alternatives; 50µA IQ preserves standby time. |
Use Scenario: Supplies 2.5V core voltage to Bluetooth/Wi-Fi module in USB-powered dongles and PC card adapters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Post-regulator after buck converter; provides low-noise, high-PSRR rail decoupled from noisy switcher output. Use Value: 70dB PSRR at 1kHz attenuates switching ripple; BP-bypassed bandgap reduces output noise to 50µVrms-ensuring reliable RF link margin. |
| Battery-Powered Industrial Sensor Node | CD-ROM/DVD Drive Logic Supply |
|
Use Scenario: Powers microcontroller and analog front-end in wireless sensor node powered by two AA alkaline cells (2.4–3.2V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main system LDO with EN pin controlled by MCU to gate power to peripherals during sleep cycles. Use Value: 0.1µA shutdown current eliminates leakage during deep-sleep mode; ±2% output accuracy maintains ADC reference integrity across temperature. |
Use Scenario: Generates 2.5V logic rail for servo control and interface ICs in optical disc drives using 5V USB or ATX supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Local point-of-load regulator isolating sensitive logic from motor driver noise and supply transients. Use Value: Thermal shutdown prevents latch-up during disc spin-up surges; 150mA rating supports peak servo actuator current without dropout. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7315-25SG-7 | Successor device with improved thermal performance (θJA = 180°C/W), lower dropout (180mV), and same 2.5V output; pin-compatible but not drop-in due to different BP pin behavior. | Recommended for new designs requiring extended thermal margin or tighter load regulation; not suitable for legacy AP7115 layouts relying on BP noise filtering. | Select AP7315-25SG-7 when designing new products where lifecycle longevity and thermal headroom are prioritized over exact AP7115 footprint reuse. |
| MCP1700T-2502E/MB | Microchip 2.5V LDO with 2.3µA IQ, 6V max input, and 250mA current limit-but uses NMOS pass device (higher dropout: 600mV at 250mA) and no BP pin. | Better for ultra-low-power always-on monitoring; unsuitable for high-current or low-input-voltage scenarios where AP7115's 200mV dropout is essential. | Choose MCP1700T-2502E/MB only if quiescent current <5µA is mandatory and input voltage remains ≥3.1V; avoid where VIN may dip below 2.7V. |
Compared with AP7315-25SG-7, the AP7115-25WG-7 offers proven reliability in legacy handheld designs but lacks thermal margin for high-density PCBs; versus MCP1700T-2502E/MB, it delivers superior dropout and load regulation at the cost of higher IQ-making it optimal for mid-power portable applications balancing runtime and size.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 150mA output?
The AP7115-25WG-7 requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDO = 2.5V + 0.2V = 2.7V to maintain regulation at full 150mA load. Below this, output voltage collapses linearly with input; datasheet specifies guaranteed operation from 2.5V input only at reduced loads (e.g., 50mA).
Can the BP pin be left floating or tied directly to OUT?
No-BP must be connected to GND via a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. Floating BP degrades PSRR and increases output noise; tying BP to OUT creates instability and violates internal biasing, risking oscillation or thermal runaway per datasheet Application Note section.
Is the AP7115-25WG-7 pin-compatible with the AP7315-25SG-7?
Yes-both use identical SOT25 pinout (IN, GND, EN, BP, OUT). However, BP functionality differs: AP7315 uses BP for internal compensation tuning, not noise filtering. Using AP7315 in an AP7115 layout with 0.1µF BP-to-GND may cause instability or degraded transient response.
What is the maximum allowable power dissipation at +85°C ambient?
Using θJA = 200°C/W and TJ(MAX) = +125°C, PD(MAX) = (125 − 85) / 200 = 0.2W (200mW). At 150mA load and 2.5V output, VIN must stay ≤ 3.83V to keep (VIN − 2.5) × 0.15 ≤ 0.2W-exceeding this risks thermal shutdown.
