Product details
Overview
AP7333-28SAG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 300mA fixed-output (2.8V) low-dropout linear regulator in SOT23 package, featuring 65µA quiescent current, 300mV dropout at full load, and 65dB PSRR at 100Hz. It delivers stable voltage to battery-powered wireless LAN cards and portable peripherals under fast load transients.
For engineers reviewing the AP7333-28SAG-7 datasheet, AP7333-28SAG-7 pinout, AP7333-28SAG-7 application, or AP7333-28SAG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 300mA, stability with 1µF ceramic output capacitor, thermal shutdown threshold (140°C), and SOT23 pin compatibility with IN/OUT/GND assignments.
Technical Context
The AP7333-28SAG-7 integrates a PMOS pass element, bandgap reference, error amplifier, and protection circuitry (current limit, short-circuit, thermal shutdown). Its architecture enables ultra-fast 80µs startup and excellent transient response without requiring minimum load.
It operates across 2V–6V input while maintaining ±2% output accuracy over –40°C to +85°C ambient. Built-in 10mΩ–200mΩ ESR tolerance ensures stability with low-ESR 1µF–4.7µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitors on input and output.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8V ±2% - ensures precise biasing for 2.8V I/O rails in wireless modules |
| Max Output Current | 300mA - supports power delivery to baseband ICs and RF front-ends in compact devices |
| Quiescent Current | 65µA typical at full load - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and peripherals |
| Dropout Voltage | 300mV typical at 300mA - enables operation down to 3.1V input when powering 2.8V logic |
| PSRR | 65dB at 100Hz - suppresses low-frequency ripple from switching DC/DC stages upstream |
| Start-up Time | 80µs - allows rapid wake-up from deep sleep in GSM/TDMA systems |
| Thermal Shutdown | 140°C threshold with 15°C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during sustained high-power dissipation |
Pinout & Package
AP7333-28SAG-7 uses the SOT23-3 package (2.92mm × 1.3mm × 1.0mm), RoHS-compliant, green molding compound, with exposed pad not connected internally.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2V–6V; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| 2 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 2.8V; stable with 1µF–4.7µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor |
| 3 (GND) | Power ground reference | Return path for input/output currents; must connect to low-impedance PCB ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No minimum load requirement | Maintains regulation from 0mA to 300mA - eliminates need for dummy loads in standby mode |
| Fast transient response | Stable during 0→300mA load steps with minimal overshoot/undershoot - critical for GSM burst-mode operation |
| Short-circuit protection | Limits output current to ~100mA when VOUT < 200mV - prevents damage during board-level faults |
| Current limit protection | Clamps output at ~600mA - safeguards against overload while preserving thermal margin |
| Ultra-low IQ across input range | 55–85µA from 2V–6V input - enables consistent battery runtime regardless of cell voltage decay |
Applications
| Wireless LAN Modules | XDSL Router Power Rails |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Powering 2.8V RF transceivers and baseband processors in mini-PCIe WLAN cards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary LDO delivering clean, low-noise 2.8V supply with fast transient recovery during packet transmission bursts. Use Value: 65dB PSRR at 100Hz rejects noise from shared DC/DC converters; 80µs startup enables rapid channel-hopping synchronization. | Use Scenario: Supplying 2.8V PHY interface circuitry in ADSL/VDSL line cards with tight thermal constraints. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Local point-of-load regulator decoupling high-speed analog front-end from noisy digital domains. Use Value: 300mV dropout allows operation from 3.3V rail with >0.5V headroom; thermal shutdown prevents failure during extended line diagnostics. |
| Battery-Powered Peripherals | Notebook Keyboard/Touchpad Subsystem |
Use Scenario: Regulating 2.8V for Bluetooth LE modules and environmental sensors in coin-cell–powered IoT nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Always-on LDO maintaining regulation during microamp-level sleep states and millisecond wake-ups. Use Value: 65µA quiescent current minimizes self-discharge; no minimum load requirement avoids wasted power in ultra-low-duty-cycle operation. | Use Scenario: Providing 2.8V to keyboard controller and capacitive touchpad ASIC in ultrabook designs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary LDO supporting isolated I/O domain with independent enable control and fault isolation. Use Value: Short-circuit protection limits fault current to 100mA during accidental trace shorts; SOT23 footprint saves space in dense keyboard flex assemblies. |
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-2802E/TT | 250mA max output, 1.6µA IQ, 600mV dropout at 250mA | Lower IQ but lower current capability; less suitable for 300mA burst loads | Select when ultra-low standby current dominates over peak load capacity |
| TPS73128DBVR | 300mA, 400µA IQ, 170mV dropout at 300mA, higher cost | Superior dropout and PSRR (70dB @100Hz), but 6× higher quiescent current | Select when input headroom is constrained below 3.0V and noise rejection is critical |
Compared with MCP1700T-2802E/TT and TPS73128DBVR, the AP7333-28SAG-7 uniquely balances 300mA capability, 65µA IQ, and 300mV dropout-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-operated systems needing both burst-current support and multi-day standby life.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for AP7333-28SAG-7?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 7V, but recommended operating range is 2V to 6V. Exceeding 6V risks accelerated degradation even if within absolute max ratings; operation above 6V voids parametric guarantees per datasheet Section 4.
Can AP7333-28SAG-7 operate without an output capacitor?
No. While stable with only 1µF ceramic, the device requires an output capacitor for loop stability and transient response. Omitting it causes oscillation and unregulated output; minimum 1µF X7R/X5R ceramic is mandatory per Application Note Section 9.
Does AP7333-28SAG-7 support adjustable output voltage?
No. It is a fixed 2.8V output device. The AP7333 family offers only factory-trimmed fixed outputs (1.0V–3.3V); no external feedback resistor network is supported. Adjustable variants require different part numbers like AP7340 series.
Is thermal shutdown reversible, and what is the hysteresis?
Yes. Thermal shutdown activates at ~140°C junction temperature and resets at ~125°C, providing 15°C hysteresis. This allows automatic recovery after cooling, but repeated cycling indicates inadequate PCB copper area or excessive ambient temperature beyond 85°C.
