Product details
Overview
AP7115-28WG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 150mA fixed-output (2.8V) low-dropout linear regulator in SOT25 package, featuring 200mV dropout at full load, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and 50µA quiescent current. It integrates current-limit, thermal shutdown, and enable control, making it suitable for GSM/GPRS handsets and battery-powered peripherals where stable low-noise 2.8V rail generation is required.
For engineers reviewing the AP7115-28WG-7 datasheet, AP7115-28WG-7 pinout, AP7115-28WG-7 application, or AP7115-28WG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 150mA, EN-controlled power sequencing, BP-bypass noise reduction capability, and SOT25 thermal resistance (200°C/W) for compact portable designs.
Technical Context
The AP7115-28WG-7 uses a PMOS pass element with bandgap reference and error amplifier feedback to regulate output. Its enable input controls internal biasing, while the BP pin accepts a 0.1µF capacitor to suppress reference noise and improve output voltage stability.
Protection circuitry includes foldback current limiting (200–250mA typ.), thermal shutdown activation at +150°C, and automatic recovery after junction cooling by ~30°C. Input voltage range is 2.5V to 5.5V, supporting single-cell Li-ion and dual-cell alkaline/battery systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8V ±2% - ensures stable logic supply for 2.8V I/O interfaces without external resistive feedback. |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV @ 150mA - enables regulation down to VIN = 3.0V, critical for extending battery runtime in 3.3V/3.0V systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA typ. @ no load - minimizes standby power loss in always-on mobile subsystems like SIM card or Bluetooth modules. |
| PSRR | 70dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters feeding shared input rails. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at +150°C junction temperature - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
| EN Pin Threshold | VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.7V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIOs for precise system-level power sequencing control. |
| Output Noise | 50µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - low enough for analog sensor biasing and RF front-end LDO applications. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 package: 5-pin, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, green molding compound; thermal resistance θJA = 200°C/W on standard FR-4 board with minimum pad layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.5–5.5V; requires ≥1µF ceramic input capacitor for stability and ESD filtering. |
| 2 GND | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path for all internal circuits; must be connected directly to PCB ground plane. |
| 3 EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; drives regulator ON when ≥2.0V, OFF when ≤0.7V; leakage <0.1µA. |
| 4 BP | Bandgap reference bypass | Connects 0.1µF capacitor to GND to reduce reference noise and improve output voltage temperature drift. |
| 5 OUT | Regulated output | Delivers up to 150mA at 2.8V; stable with ≥1µF ceramic output capacitor; ESR affects loop stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout architecture | 200mV @ 150mA enables operation from partially discharged batteries in handheld devices. |
| Enable-controlled power gating | EN pin allows system MCU to selectively power down peripheral rails, reducing total system idle current. |
| Bandgap bypass (BP) pin | 0.1µF capacitor on BP reduces output noise by stabilizing internal reference, critical for RF-sensitive loads. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (250mA typ.) and thermal shutdown prevent failure under short-circuit or overtemperature conditions. |
| Green packaging | SOT25 package is halogen-free, antimony-free, and fully RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. |
Applications
| GSM/GPRS Handset Power Management | Mobile Peripheral Voltage Regulation |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7315-28SAG-7 | Successor device with improved PSRR (75dB), lower IQ (35µA), and same SOT25 footprint. | Designed for new designs requiring longer battery life and higher noise immunity; pin-compatible drop-in replacement. | Select AP7315-28SAG-7 for new designs; AP7115-28WG-7 remains viable for legacy BOM continuity. |
| MCP1700T-2802E/TT | Microchip 250mA LDO; 175mV dropout @ 250mA, 2.5µA IQ, but no BP pin or EN control. | Lacks enable and bandgap bypass functions; suited for always-on, ultra-low-IQ applications without sequencing needs. | Choose only if EN and BP features are unnecessary and 250mA output is required; not functionally equivalent. |
Compared with AP7315-28SAG-7, the AP7115-28WG-7 offers proven field reliability but higher quiescent current and lower PSRR; versus MCP1700T-2802E/TT, it provides essential enable control and noise-reduction capability at the cost of higher IQ.

FAQ
What is the recommended input and output capacitor configuration for AP7115-28WG-7?
A 1µF ceramic input capacitor between IN and GND is mandatory. The output requires ≥1µF ceramic capacitance; higher values improve transient response. A 0.1µF capacitor must be placed between BP and GND to minimize output voltage noise and stabilize the bandgap reference.
Can the EN pin be left unconnected if shutdown functionality is not needed?
No - the EN pin must not be left floating. If shutdown is unused, tie EN directly to IN (VIN) to ensure the regulator remains enabled. Floating EN may cause unpredictable startup behavior or oscillation due to noise coupling.
What is the maximum continuous output current and how does thermal derating affect it?
The AP7115-28WG-7 guarantees 150mA output current under specified conditions. At ambient temperatures above +25°C or with insufficient PCB copper area, output current must be reduced per the thermal equation PD = (VIN − VOUT) × IOUT + VIN × IQ, using θJA = 200°C/W for SOT25.
Is AP7115-28WG-7 suitable for powering RF circuits such as Bluetooth transceivers?
Yes - its 50µVrms output noise (10Hz–100kHz) and 70dB PSRR at 1kHz make it appropriate for RF analog sections. Use the BP pin with 0.1µF capacitor and separate quiet ground routing to maintain signal integrity in Bluetooth/Wi-Fi modules.
