Product details
Overview
AP7115-35WG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 150mA fixed-output (3.5V) low-dropout linear regulator with shutdown control, designed for power management in space-constrained battery-powered systems. It delivers 200mV dropout at full load, draws only 50µA quiescent current, and integrates thermal shutdown, current limiting, and ±2% output voltage accuracy.
For engineers reviewing the AP7115-35WG-7 datasheet, AP7115-35WG-7 pinout, AP7115-35WG-7 application, or AP7115-35WG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance under 150mA load, EN-controlled enable/disable sequencing, BP-pin noise reduction capability, and SOT25 package thermal resistance (θJA = 200°C/W).
Technical Context
The AP7115-35WG-7 uses a PMOS pass element with internal bandgap reference and error amplifier to regulate output voltage. Its enable (EN) pin provides logic-level on/off control, while the BP (bandgap bypass) pin accepts a 0.1µF capacitor to reduce output voltage noise by stabilizing the reference.
Protection circuitry includes foldback current limiting (250mA typ.), short-circuit tolerance, and thermal shutdown activation at +155°C with 30°C hysteresis. The device operates across 2.5V–5.5V input range and maintains regulation down to 200mV headroom at 150mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.5V ±2% - ensures stable rail for 3.3V-tolerant I/O or low-voltage microcontrollers |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV @ 150mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) or two-cell alkaline |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA typ. - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes or standby modes |
| PSRR | 70dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at +155°C, resets at +125°C - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload |
| EN Pin Threshold | VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.7V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting |
| Output Noise | 50µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - suitable for analog sensors and RF front-end biasing |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin) surface-mount package with exposed pad for thermal enhancement; JEDEC-compliant footprint, RoHS-compliant "Green" molding compound, lead-free terminations.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V; requires 1µF ceramic decoupling to GND |
| 2 GND | Power ground reference | Common return path for input/output currents and BP capacitor |
| 3 EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic; drives high to enable regulator, low to enter <1µA shutdown mode |
| 4 BP | Bandgap reference bypass | Connects 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND to reduce output voltage noise and improve stability |
| 5 OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 3.5V ±2% at up to 150mA; requires ≥1µF ceramic output capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout architecture | 200mV @ 150mA enables use with marginal input headroom in portable designs |
| EN-controlled shutdown | Reduces total system current to ≤1µA, supporting deep-sleep power states |
| BP-pin noise filtering | 0.1µF bypass lowers output noise floor to 50µVrms for precision analog rails |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (250mA), thermal shutdown (+155°C), and short-circuit survival prevent field failures |
| Stable with small ceramics | Works with ≥1µF X7R/X5R output capacitors; ESR <1Ω required for stability per load current |
Applications

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP7115-35WG-7 to maintain regulation at 150mA load?
The AP7115-35WG-7 requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDO = 3.5V + 0.2V = 3.7V to sustain 150mA output current. Below this, output voltage drops linearly with input; the absolute minimum operating VIN is 2.5V, but regulation is only guaranteed above 3.7V at full load.
Can the EN pin be left unconnected if shutdown functionality is not needed?
No-EN must be tied directly to VIN to ensure reliable turn-on. Floating EN may cause erratic startup or oscillation due to noise coupling; the datasheet explicitly states that unused EN pins should be connected to VIN via a direct trace or low-impedance path.
Is a capacitor required on the BP pin, and what happens if it is omitted?
Yes-a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between BP and GND is mandatory for optimal noise performance and loop stability. Omitting it increases output voltage noise by up to 3× and may degrade transient response, especially under dynamic load conditions typical in digital I/O rails.
How does thermal shutdown behave during continuous overload, and can the device self-recover?
When junction temperature exceeds +155°C, thermal shutdown disables the pass transistor. Recovery occurs automatically once TJ falls below +125°C (30°C hysteresis). This cycle repeats under sustained overload, preventing permanent damage but limiting average output current in poorly heatsinked layouts.
