Product details
Overview
AP7115-28SEG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 150mA fixed-output (2.8V) low-dropout linear regulator in SOT353 package, featuring 200mV dropout at full load, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and 50µA quiescent current. It integrates current-limit, thermal shutdown, and enable control for battery-powered wireless handsets and portable peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the AP7115-28SEG-7 datasheet, AP7115-28SEG-7 pinout, AP7115-28SEG-7 application, or AP7115-28SEG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under 150mA load, EN-controlled shutdown behavior, BP bypass capacitor requirements, and thermal resistance (θJA = 337°C/W) in SOT353 layout.
Technical Context
The AP7115-28SEG-7 uses a PMOS pass element with bandgap-referenced error amplifier to regulate output voltage. Its enable input (EN) directly controls the pass transistor gate via internal logic, allowing fast startup (<100µs typical) and <1µA shutdown current.
Bandgap bypass (BP) pin accepts a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to suppress reference noise, improving output voltage stability. The device maintains regulation across -40°C to +85°C ambient with 50ppm/°C output voltage tempco and 70dB PSRR at 1kHz.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-2802E/TO | 300mV dropout @ 150mA; 1.6µA IQ; SOT23-5 package | Lacks BP pin; lower PSRR (60dB); higher dropout reduces usable input range | Prefer for ultra-low-IQ systems where 2.8V rail is only active intermittently |
| AP7315-28SG-7 | Same SOT353 footprint; 250mA output; 1.2µA IQ; no EN pin | Non-enable variant; higher current capability but no dynamic power gating | Choose when system-level enable control is handled upstream or unnecessary |
Compared with MCP1700-2802E/TO and AP7315-28SG-7, the AP7115-28SEG-7 uniquely balances low dropout (200mV), mid-range IQ (50µA), and integrated EN/BP functionality in SOT353-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-gated 2.8V rails requiring both efficiency and noise immunity.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP7115-28SEG-7 to maintain 2.8V regulation at 150mA?
The AP7115-28SEG-7 requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDO = 2.8V + 0.2V = 3.0V to sustain regulation at full 150mA load. Below 3.0V input, output voltage drops linearly with input; the 200mV dropout is typical at 25°C and may rise to 300mV at temperature extremes or end-of-life.
Can the BP pin be left unconnected if low-noise performance is not critical?
No-leaving the BP pin floating violates the Absolute Maximum Rating for VBP (-0.3V to 5.5V) and risks instability. If noise suppression is not required, connect a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor from BP to GND as specified; omitting it degrades PSRR by up to 20dB and increases output noise by ~30µVRMS.
How does thermal shutdown behave during continuous overload?
When junction temperature exceeds +150°C, the AP7115-28SEG-7 disables the pass transistor until temperature falls by ~30°C. During repeated cycling, average output current is limited to ~60mA at TA = 25°C on a standard FR-4 board-designers must verify θJA (337°C/W for SOT353) and derate power accordingly.
Is AP7115-28SEG-7 pin-compatible with AP7315-28SG-7?
Yes-both use identical SOT353 pinout (IN, GND, EN/BP, BP/NC, OUT), but AP7315-28SG-7 has no enable function (EN pin internally tied high) and no BP pin (BP pin is no-connect). Direct replacement requires external pull-up of EN and removal of BP capacitor.
