Product details
Overview
AP7333-25SRG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 300mA fixed-output (2.5V) low-dropout linear regulator in SOT23R 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 fast transient response and ultra-low standby power.
For engineers reviewing the AP7333-25SRG-7 datasheet, AP7333-25SRG-7 pinout, AP7333-25SRG-7 application, or AP7333-25SRG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under 300mA load, thermal shutdown threshold (140°C), current limit behavior (400–600mA), and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The AP7333-25SRG-7 integrates a PMOS pass element, precision bandgap reference, error amplifier, and protection circuitry (current limit, short-circuit clamp, thermal shutdown). Its architecture enables fast start-up (80µs) and excellent load/line transient response without external compensation.
Designed for fixed 2.5V output, it operates across 2V–6V input while maintaining ±2% output accuracy over –40°C to +85°C ambient. Built-in thermal hysteresis (15°C) ensures controlled recovery after shutdown, and its low 65µA IQ supports multi-day battery life in always-on sensor nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±2% - eliminates need for external feedback resistors; ensures stable core voltage for 2.5V logic or analog rails. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous - sufficient to power microcontrollers, RF transceivers, or small DSPs in portable systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 65µA typical at full load - enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors with 10µA sleep current budget. |
| Dropout Voltage | 300mV typical at 300mA - allows regulation from 2.8V input down to 2.5V output, extending usable battery range in single-cell Li-ion or alkaline systems. |
| PSRR | 65dB typical at 100Hz - suppresses low-frequency ripple from switching converters or noisy DC-DC stages upstream. |
| Start-up Time | 80µs - supports rapid wake-up from deep-sleep modes in GSM/TDMA baseband circuits with burst-load profiles. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Triggers at 140°C with 15°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23R package: 3-pin surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, green molding compound. Pin pitch 0.95mm, body size 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm (L×W×H).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2V–6V; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress high-frequency noise and ensure stability. |
| OUT (Pin 2) | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 2.5V; stable with 1µF–4.7µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitors; no minimum load required. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Ground reference | Common return path for IN and OUT; must connect to low-impedance ground plane to maintain PSRR and transient performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 65µA across full 2V–6V input range and 0–300mA load - minimizes battery drain in always-on wearable sensors. |
| Fast transient response | Stable output during 0→300mA load steps with minimal overshoot/undershoot - critical for GSM/TDMA burst-mode power delivery. |
| Low-ESR capacitor compatibility | Stable with 1µF ceramic output capacitor (10–200mΩ ESR) - reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. tantalum alternatives. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (400–600mA), short-circuit clamp (100mA), and thermal shutdown (140°C) - eliminates need for external fault-handling circuitry. |
Applications
| Wireless LAN Modules | GSM Baseband Power |
|---|---|

Use Value: 80µs start-up and sub-100mV load transient deviation enable real-time power gating without brownout or reset events. |
| USB Peripheral Devices | Industrial Sensor Nodes |
Use Scenario: Regulating 2.5V for USB HID devices such as keyboards and mice powered directly from 5V USB VBUS. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input-to-output LDO converting unregulated 4.4–5.25V USB supply to stable 2.5V logic rail. Use Value: 300mV dropout allows full regulation even at USB low-voltage limit (4.4V); 65µA IQ extends battery backup runtime during host suspend. | Use Scenario: Powering ultra-low-power 2.5V analog sensor signal chains (e.g., temperature/humidity ICs) in battery-operated environmental monitors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary power source for precision ADCs, op-amps, and microcontroller peripherals in intermittent-sampling systems. Use Value: ±2% output accuracy over –40°C to +85°C ensures consistent sensor calibration; no minimum load requirement simplifies design for sleep-wake cycling. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2502E/TT (Microchip) | 250mA max output, 1.6µA IQ, 600mV dropout at 250mA, SOT23-3 | Lower IQ but lower current rating; less suitable for 300mA burst loads | Select when ultra-low standby power dominates over peak current capability |
| Torex XC6206P252MR-G (Torex) | 300mA max, 12µA IQ, 400mV dropout at 300mA, SOT23-3 | Lower IQ but higher dropout; requires ≥2.9V input for 2.5V output | Select when input voltage margin exceeds 400mV and lowest possible IQ is critical |
Compared with MCP1700T-2502E/TT and XC6206P252MR-G, the AP7333-25SRG-7 uniquely balances 300mA capability, 65µA IQ, and 300mV dropout-enabling reliable 2.5V regulation from marginal inputs (e.g., 2.8V) while supporting GSM/TDMA burst loads without external compensation.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable 2.5V output at 300mA?
The AP7333-25SRG-7 requires a minimum input voltage of 2.8V to maintain regulated 2.5V output at 300mA load, based on its typical 300mV dropout voltage specification. At lower input voltages (e.g., 2.75V), output may drop below 2.5V due to process variation and temperature effects; design margin should include worst-case 550mV dropout per datasheet.
Can the AP7333-25SRG-7 operate without an output capacitor?
No, the AP7333-25SRG-7 requires a minimum 1µF ceramic output capacitor for stability and transient response, as confirmed in the datasheet's Application Note section. Omitting it risks oscillation, excessive overshoot/undershoot during load steps, and potential thermal shutdown under dynamic conditions.
Is the SOT23R package pin-compatible with standard SOT23?
No, the SOT23R package has reversed pinout versus standard SOT23: IN is Pin 1 (vs. Pin 3), GND is Pin 3 (vs. Pin 1), and OUT is Pin 2 (shared). This reversal is explicitly documented in the datasheet's Pin Assignment diagram and must be accounted for in PCB layout to avoid functional failure.
Does the AP7333-25SRG-7 support adjustable output voltage via external resistors?
No, the AP7333-25SRG-7 is a fixed-output device with internal resistor divider setting 2.5V; it lacks feedback (FB) or adjust (ADJ) pins. For adjustable output, Diodes offers the AP7361 series, which uses external resistors to set output voltage between 0.8V and 5.0V.
