Product details
Overview
AP7333-20SAG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 300mA fixed-output (2.0V) low-dropout linear regulator in SOT23 package, featuring 65µA quiescent current, 300mV dropout at full load, 65dB PSRR at 100Hz, and stable operation with 1µF ceramic output capacitor. It serves as a power management IC for battery-powered portable electronics requiring ultra-low IQ and fast transient response.
For engineers reviewing the AP7333-20SAG-7 datasheet, AP7333-20SAG-7 pinout, AP7333-20SAG-7 application, or AP7333-20SAG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under 300mA load, thermal shutdown threshold (140°C), current limit behavior (400–600mA), and compatibility with minimal 1µF output capacitance in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The AP7333-20SAG-7 integrates a PMOS pass element, bandgap reference, error amplifier, and protection circuitry (current limit, short-circuit, thermal shutdown) in a single monolithic IC. Its architecture enables stable regulation without minimum load and supports rapid line/load transients due to optimized internal compensation.
Designed for input voltages from 2V to 6V and fixed 2.0V output, it delivers regulated power with ±2% output accuracy across –40°C to +85°C ambient, while maintaining 55–75µA quiescent current over full input range and zero-to-300mA load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.0V ±2% - ensures precise rail generation for 2.0V logic or analog subsystems without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous - sufficient to power microcontrollers, RF front-ends, or sensor interfaces in portable devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 300mV typical at 300mA - enables operation down to 2.3V input while sustaining 2.0V output, critical for single-cell Li-ion or alkaline systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 65µA typical at full load - minimizes standby power loss, extending battery life in always-on or duty-cycled applications. |
| PSRR | 65dB typical at 100Hz - suppresses low-frequency supply noise from switching converters or noisy DC/DC stages. |
| Start-up Time | 80µs - allows rapid power sequencing in wake-from-sleep scenarios without system timing violations. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 140°C junction threshold with 15°C hysteresis - provides self-recovery protection during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package: compact 2.9mm × 1.6mm surface-mount outline with gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish, and "Green" molding compound (Br/Sb-free).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2V–6V input; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability and noise rejection. |
| OUT (Pin 2) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 2.0V; supports 1µF–4.7µF ceramic output capacitors with ESR 10–200mΩ for optimal transient response. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Power ground reference | Common return path for input/output bypassing; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No minimum load requirement | Maintains regulation and stability at 0mA output - eliminates need for bleeder resistors in ultra-low-power sleep modes. |
| Fast load transient response | Stabilizes within microseconds during 0–300mA step changes - prevents voltage droop/overshoot in DSP or GSM baseband power rails. |
| Short-circuit current limit | Clamps output to ~100mA when VOUT < 200mV - protects against accidental GND shorts without latch-off or thermal runaway. |
| Low-ESR capacitor compatibility | Stable with 1µF X7R/X5R ceramics - reduces BOM count and PCB area versus tantalum or electrolytic alternatives. |
| Thermal cycling recovery | Auto-resumes operation at ~125°C after shutdown - enables graceful degradation rather than permanent fault lockout in thermally constrained enclosures. |
Applications
| Wireless LAN Modules | XDSL Router Power Rails |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP2204-2.0TRG1 | Higher IQ (120µA), same 300mA rating and SOT23-3 package; 400mV dropout at 300mA | Lacks short-circuit current limiting; relies on external fuse or upstream current sense | Prefer AP7333-20SAG-7 where robust fault protection and lower IQ are required in battery-sensitive designs. |
| MCP1700-2002E/TO | 250mA max output, 1.6µA IQ, TO-92 package; 600mV dropout at 250mA | Through-hole mounting only; unsuitable for high-density PCBs or automated SMT assembly | Choose AP7333-20SAG-7 for SMT production scalability, higher current headroom, and superior transient performance. |
Compared with AP2204-2.0TRG1 and MCP1700-2002E/TO, the AP7333-20SAG-7 uniquely combines ultra-low IQ (65µA), integrated short-circuit/thermal protection, and SOT23-3 manufacturability - making it optimal for compact, battery-dependent systems demanding reliability and efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the AP7333-20SAG-7 can tolerate?
The AP7333-20SAG-7 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 7V. However, its recommended operating range is 2V to 6V. Exceeding 6V may trigger internal protection circuits or accelerate parametric drift, especially at elevated temperatures. For reliable long-term operation, maintain VIN ≤ 6V with appropriate derating per thermal conditions.
Can the AP7333-20SAG-7 operate without an output capacitor?
No - the AP7333-20SAG-7 requires a minimum 1µF ceramic output capacitor connected between OUT and GND for stability and transient response. Operation without this capacitor risks oscillation, excessive overshoot/undershoot, or thermal shutdown under load. The device is optimized for 1µF–4.7µF X7R/X5R ceramics with ESR between 10mΩ and 200mΩ.
Does the AP7333-20SAG-7 support adjustable output voltage?
No - the AP7333-20SAG-7 is a fixed-output regulator with a factory-trimmed 2.0V output. It lacks feedback pins or external resistor networks for adjustment. For programmable output, Diodes offers the AP7361 series, which supports external resistor dividers and delivers up to 500mA with similar low-IQ performance.
How does the thermal shutdown behave under sustained overload?
When junction temperature reaches ~140°C, the AP7333-20SAG-7 disables the output and enters thermal shutdown. It automatically recovers when temperature falls to ~125°C due to 15°C hysteresis. Under continuous overload, this causes controlled on/off cycling - limiting average power dissipation and preventing permanent damage, though system-level thermal design should avoid repeated cycling.
