Product details
Overview
AP7115-35SEG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 150mA fixed-output (3.5V) low dropout linear regulator in SOT353 package, featuring 200mV dropout at full load, 50µA quiescent current, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and integrated thermal shutdown and current-limit protection. It serves as a power management IC for battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable, low-noise 3.5V supply.
For engineers reviewing the AP7115-35SEG-7 datasheet, AP7115-35SEG-7 pinout, AP7115-35SEG-7 application, or AP7115-35SEG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 150mA, EN-controlled enable functionality, BP bypass capacitor support for noise reduction, and SOT353 thermal resistance (θJA = 337°C/W) in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The AP7115-35SEG-7 uses a PMOS pass element with bandgap reference and error amplifier feedback to regulate output voltage. Its enable (EN) pin provides active-high logic control, while the BP pin accepts a 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to suppress bandgap reference noise.
Protection circuitry includes foldback current limiting (200–250mA typ.), short-circuit survival capability, and thermal shutdown activation at +150°C with 30°C hysteresis. Input voltage range (2.5V–5.5V) and low temperature drift (50–100 ppm/°C) support operation across industrial ambient conditions (-40°C to +85°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.5V ±2% - ensures stable rail for 3.3V-tolerant I/O or 3.5V-specific sensors without external feedback. |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV max at 150mA - enables regulation from 3.7V Li-ion cells down to end-of-discharge (~3.5V), extending battery runtime. |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA typ. - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or wake-up controllers. |
| PSRR | 70dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters, critical for RF or audio analog sections. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at +150°C, resets at +120°C - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
| EN Pin Threshold | VIL ≤ 0.7V, VIH ≥ 2.0V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting in host microcontrollers. |
| Bandgap Bypass | 0.1µF capacitor on BP pin reduces output voltage noise - directly lowers RMS noise to ≤50µVrms (10Hz–100kHz). |
Pinout & Package
SOT353 (5-pin, 2.15mm × 2.10mm × 0.90mm) surface-mount package with exposed pad not electrically connected; θJA = 337°C/W on standard FR-4 board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V; requires 1µF ceramic input capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability. |
| 2 GND | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path for input/output currents; must connect to solid ground plane under device. |
| 3 EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic: drives regulator ON when ≥2.0V; pulls to GND for <0.7V shutdown state (ISHDN ≤ 1µA). |
| 4 BP | Bandgap reference bypass | Connects 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND to reduce reference noise and improve output voltage stability. |
| 5 OUT | Regulated output voltage | Delivers up to 150mA at 3.5V; requires ≥1µF ceramic output capacitor with ESR <1Ω for loop stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 50µA typical - extends battery life in IoT endpoints where sleep current dominates energy budget. |
| Fast transient response | Stabilizes within 10µs after 50mA load step - maintains voltage integrity for burst-mode processors or ADC sampling events. |
| Integrated protection suite | Current limit + thermal shutdown + short-circuit survival - eliminates need for external fault-handling circuitry. |
| Green packaging | SOT353 with halogen/antimony-free molding compound (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb) - meets RoHS 2 and environmental compliance mandates. |
| High PSRR at low frequency | 70dB @ 1kHz - rejects ripple from buck converter switching frequencies, enabling clean analog supply rails. |
Applications
| Wireless Communication Modules | GSM/GPRS Handsets |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7315-35SG-7 | Successor part with improved 30µA IQ, lower 150mV dropout, and enhanced PSRR (75dB); same SOT353 footprint. | Designed for new designs requiring longer battery life and tighter regulation; pin-compatible but not drop-in due to revised BP pin behavior. | Select AP7315-35SG-7 for new designs; AP7115-35SEG-7 remains valid for legacy BOM continuity and cost-sensitive replacements. |
| MCP1700T-3502E/TT | Microchip 250mA LDO with 1.6µA IQ, 178mV dropout, but no BP pin or EN control; SOT23-5 package differs mechanically. | Lacks enable/shutdown and bandgap bypass - unsuitable where dynamic power gating or ultra-low noise is required. | Choose only if system requires sub-µA sleep current and can accept fixed-enable operation and different layout constraints. |
Compared with AP7315-35SG-7, the AP7115-35SEG-7 trades higher quiescent current and dropout for proven field reliability and broader design documentation; versus MCP1700T-3502E/TT, it offers superior noise suppression and programmable enable but consumes more standby power.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of AP7115-35SEG-7?
The AP7115-35SEG-7 guarantees 150mA output current under all operating conditions (VIN = 2.5V–5.5V, TA = –40°C to +85°C). Current limit activates at 200–250mA (typ.) to protect the device during overload or short-circuit events, allowing indefinite short-to-ground survival without damage.
Can the EN pin be left unconnected or tied to VIN?
No - the EN pin must not be left floating. If shutdown functionality is unused, tie EN directly to VIN (not through a resistor) to ensure reliable turn-on. Floating EN may cause erratic enable/disable behavior due to leakage-induced threshold crossing, risking unintended power cycling.
Is a BP capacitor mandatory for stable operation?
A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between BP and GND is not mandatory for basic regulation but is required to achieve the specified 50µVrms output noise and optimal PSRR. Omitting it increases output voltage noise and may degrade transient response in noise-sensitive analog circuits.
What thermal derating applies when using AP7115-35SEG-7 in SOT353 package?
In SOT353, θJA = 337°C/W on standard FR-4. At 25°C ambient and 150mA load with 3.7V input, power dissipation is ~60mW; junction temperature rise is ~20°C - well below the 125°C max. For continuous 150mA at 5.5V input, derate ambient to ≤60°C or enhance PCB copper area to avoid thermal shutdown.
