Product details
Overview
AP7115-33SEG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 150mA fixed-output (3.3V) 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 handheld devices requiring stable, low-noise 3.3V rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the AP7115-33SEG-7 datasheet, AP7115-33SEG-7 pinout, AP7115-33SEG-7 application, or AP7115-33SEG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 150mA, EN-controlled power sequencing, BP-bypass noise reduction capability, and SOT353 thermal resistance (θJA = 337°C/W) in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The AP7115-33SEG-7 uses a PMOS pass element with internal bandgap reference and error amplifier to regulate output voltage. Its enable (EN) pin provides active-high logic control, while the BP pin accepts a 0.1µF capacitor to suppress reference noise and improve output voltage stability.
Protection circuitry includes foldback current limiting (250mA typ.), thermal shutdown activation at +150°C, and short-circuit survivability. The device operates across 2.5V–5.5V input range and maintains regulation down to 200mV headroom at 150mA load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2% - ensures precise rail for 3.3V logic, USB peripherals, and RF front-end biasing |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV @ 150mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) or 3.3V system rails with margin |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA typ. - extends battery life in always-on monitoring circuits and sleep-mode subsystems |
| PSRR | 70dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input |
| Thermal Shutdown | +150°C activation - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking in sealed enclosures |
| Enable Threshold | VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.7V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting in portable SoC designs |
| Output Noise | 50µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - suitable for analog sensors, ADC references, and low-phase-noise clock buffers |
Pinout & Package
SOT353 (5-pin, 2.15mm × 1.30mm × 0.90mm) surface-mount package with exposed pad not electrically connected; optimized for low-profile portable PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V; requires 1µF ceramic decoupling to GND for stability |
| 2 GND | Power ground reference | Common return path for input/output capacitors and BP bypass; must connect to low-impedance ground plane |
| 3 EN | Active-high enable control | Pull ≥2.0V to enable regulation; tie to VIN if always-on operation required |
| 4 BP | Bandgap reference bypass | 0.1µF capacitor to GND reduces output voltage noise and improves PSRR at high frequencies |
| 5 OUT | Regulated 3.3V output | Delivers up to 150mA; requires ≥1µF ceramic output capacitor with ESR <1Ω for loop stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout architecture | 200mV @ 150mA enables use with weak or aging batteries in handheld devices |
| Bandgap bypass (BP) pin | 0.1µF capacitor reduces output noise by filtering reference node-critical for precision analog rails |
| Fast transient response | Maintains <±2% output deviation during 10–90% load steps-supports burst-mode digital loads |
| Green packaging | SOT353 meets RoHS, halogen-free, and antimony-free standards (Br/Cl <900ppm, Sb <1000ppm) |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (250mA), thermal shutdown (+150°C), and short-circuit survival prevent field failures |
Applications
| Wireless Communication Modules | GSM/GPRS Handsets |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 150mA output?
The AP7115-33SEG-7 requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDO = 3.3V + 0.2V = 3.5V to maintain regulation at full 150mA load. At lighter loads, dropout decreases proportionally-e.g., 100mV at 75mA-allowing operation down to 3.4V input under typical conditions.
Can the BP pin be left unconnected if low-noise performance is not critical?
Yes, the BP pin may be left floating or tied directly to GND if output noise specifications permit. However, omitting the 0.1µF BP capacitor reduces PSRR by ~10dB above 10kHz and increases output voltage drift under temperature variation, per datasheet characterization.
Is the AP7115-33SEG-7 pin-compatible with other Diodes LDOs in SOT353?
No-pin assignments differ across Diodes' SOT353 LDO families. For example, the AP7315-33SG-7 shares identical pinout (IN-EN-BP-OUT-GND), but the AP2204K-3.3TRG1 uses IN-GND-EN-OUT-NC. Always verify pin mapping using the specific device's datasheet diagram.
Does thermal shutdown cause latch-off or automatic recovery?
Thermal shutdown is non-latching: when junction temperature exceeds +150°C, the pass element turns off; regulation resumes automatically once junction cools by ~30°C (to ~120°C). This hysteresis prevents oscillation during marginal thermal conditions.
