Product details
Overview
AP7333-30SAG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 300mA fixed-output (3.0V) 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 supply rail for battery-powered peripherals requiring fast transient response and ultra-low standby power.
For engineers reviewing the AP7333-30SAG-7 datasheet, AP7333-30SAG-7 pinout, AP7333-30SAG-7 application, or AP7333-30SAG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under 300mA load, thermal shutdown threshold at 140°C, input voltage range (2V–6V), and compatibility with no-load stability requirements in portable systems.
Technical Context
The AP7333-30SAG-7 integrates a PMOS pass element, precision bandgap reference, error amplifier, and protection circuitry (current limit, short-circuit, thermal shutdown). Its architecture enables fast start-up (80µs) and excellent line/load transient response without external compensation.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient, supports input voltages from 2V to 6V, and maintains ±2% output voltage accuracy over temperature and load. The device requires no minimum load and remains stable with 1µF X7R/X5R ceramic output capacitors (ESR 10–200mΩ).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0V ±2% - ensures precise rail generation for 3.3V-tolerant I/O or 3.0V logic without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous - sufficient for USB peripherals, sensor interfaces, and low-power microcontrollers. |
| Dropout Voltage | 300mV typical at 300mA - enables regulation down to VIN = 3.3V, extending battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion or 3×AA systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 65µA typical at full load - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or wake-on-event circuits. |
| PSRR | 65dB at 100Hz - suppresses low-frequency ripple from switching DC/DC converters upstream, improving analog sensor or RF circuit noise immunity. |
| Start-up Time | 80µs - allows rapid power sequencing in multi-rail systems and supports dynamic power gating in portable devices. |
| 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 (JEDEC TO-236AB), 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint, 1.1mm height, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish, green molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2V–6V; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin for EMI suppression and stability. |
| 2 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 3.0V; connects directly to load and 1µF ceramic output capacitor near pin for fast transient response. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for IN and OUT; must be tied to low-impedance ground plane to minimize noise coupling and thermal resistance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No minimum load requirement | Stable regulation at 0mA output - eliminates need for dummy loads in sleep-mode applications like remote controls or IoT sensors. |
| Fast transient response (0–300mA) | Controlled overshoot/undershoot during load steps - avoids brown-out resets in DSP or GSM baseband ICs with pulsed current profiles. |
| Short-circuit current limit | Clamps to ~100mA when VOUT < 200mV - prevents catastrophic failure during board-level shorts while allowing safe fault detection. |
| Current limit protection | Triggers at ~400–600mA - protects against sustained overload without latch-off, enabling graceful degradation in high-temp environments. |
| Ultra-low ESR capacitor support | Stable with 10–200mΩ ESR ceramics - permits use of compact, low-profile 0402/0603 MLCCs instead of larger tantalum or aluminum electrolytics. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-3002E/TO | 250mA max output, 1.6µA IQ, 600mV dropout at 250mA, SOT23-3 | Lower IQ but lower current capability; less suitable for 300mA peak loads in wireless modules | Select when ultra-low standby power dominates over peak current demand (e.g., solar-powered sensors) |
| TPS73030DBVR | 200mA max output, 170µA IQ, 170mV dropout at 200mA, SOT23-5 | Higher IQ and smaller dropout, but 5-pin package adds routing complexity and lacks short-circuit clamping | Select when minimal dropout is critical and board area allows 5-pin layout; avoid where fault robustness is required |
Compared with MCP1700-3002E/TO and TPS73030DBVR, the AP7333-30SAG-7 uniquely balances 300mA delivery, 65µA IQ, integrated short-circuit clamping (~100mA), and SOT23-3 simplicity-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, battery-operated designs needing both performance and protection.

FAQ
What is the recommended input and output capacitor configuration for AP7333-30SAG-7?
A 1µF X7R ceramic capacitor is required between IN and GND, and another 1µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor between OUT and GND. Both must be placed within 2mm of their respective pins using short, wide traces. Input capacitance may be increased without limit; output capacitance can range from 1µF to 4.7µF to improve transient response, provided ESR stays between 10mΩ and 200mΩ.
Does AP7333-30SAG-7 require a minimum load current to maintain regulation?
No. The AP7333-30SAG-7 is designed for no-load stability and maintains regulation across 0mA to 300mA output current. This eliminates the need for bleed resistors or dummy loads, reducing power waste in always-on or intermittently active circuits such as real-time clocks or wake-on-LAN controllers.
How does the thermal shutdown protection behave under sustained overload?
When junction temperature reaches ~140°C, the output disables; it re-enables once 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. Thermal resistance is 207°C/W for SOT23 on standard FR-4 PCBs.
Can AP7333-30SAG-7 be used with input voltages below 2.0V?
No. The absolute minimum input voltage is 2.0V per the Recommended Operating Conditions table. Operation below 2.0V risks loss of regulation, increased dropout, or erratic behavior. For sub-2V inputs, consider alternative regulators such as the AP2204 series or specialized ultra-low-VIN LDOs with verified 1.4V start-up capability.
