Product details
Overview
AP7333-33SAG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 300mA fixed-output (3.3V) low-dropout linear regulator in SOT23 package, featuring 65µA quiescent current, 300mV dropout at full load, and 65dB PSRR at 100Hz - designed for battery-powered wireless LAN cards and XDSL routers requiring stable low-power voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the AP7333-33SAG-7 datasheet, AP7333-33SAG-7 pinout, AP7333-33SAG-7 application, or AP7333-33SAG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under 300mA load, stability with 1µF ceramic output capacitor, thermal shutdown threshold at 140°C, and SOT23 pin compatibility with IN/OUT/GND routing.
Technical Context
The AP7333-33SAG-7 integrates a band-gap reference, error amplifier, and PMOS pass element to deliver precise 3.3V regulation across 2V–6V input range. Its internal current-limit (400–600mA) and short-circuit protection (100mA clamp) operate independently of external components.
Thermal shutdown activates at 140°C with 15°C hysteresis, enabling safe auto-recovery under overload. Fast transient response (80µs start-up, minimal undershoot/overshoot) is achieved via optimized internal compensation, eliminating need for external capacitors beyond 1µF ceramic on IN and OUT.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2% over -40°C to +85°C ambient - ensures reliable logic-level supply for 3.3V I/O interfaces. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous - supports moderate-power peripherals like WLAN baseband ICs without derating. |
| Dropout Voltage | 300mV typical at 300mA - enables operation down to 3.6V input while maintaining 3.3V output, critical for single-cell Li-ion systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 65µA typical across full load and input range - minimizes standby power loss in always-on portable devices. |
| 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 modes in battery-powered edge sensors. |
| Stability | Guaranteed with 1µF X7R/X5R ceramic output capacitor - reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. electrolytic alternatives. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package with gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish, and green molding compound (no Br/Sb). Thermal resistance θJA = 207°C/W on FR-4 with minimum pad layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2V–6V; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass to GND close to pin for noise immunity and stability. |
| OUT (Pin 2) | Regulated output | Delivers 3.3V ±2%; stable with 1–4.7µF ceramic capacitor (ESR 10–200mΩ) placed adjacent to pin. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Power ground reference | Common return path for IN and OUT; must connect to low-impedance ground plane to maintain PSRR and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 65µA across full input (2–6V) and load (0–300mA) range - extends battery runtime in IoT endpoints. |
| Fast transient response | Controlled overshoot/undershoot during 0→300mA load steps - prevents logic glitches in GSM/TDMA baseband circuits. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (≈600mA), short-circuit clamp (≈100mA), and thermal shutdown (140°C/125°C hysteresis) - eliminates need for external fault management circuitry. |
| No minimum load requirement | Stable regulation at 0mA output - simplifies design for intermittently active subsystems like BLE radios. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-3302E/TO | 250mA max output, 1.6µA IQ, 600mV dropout at 250mA | Limited to lower-current loads; superior IQ for ultra-long-life applications | Select when standby current <2µA is mandatory and load ≤250mA |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for AP7333-33SAG-7?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 7V, but the recommended operating range is 2V to 6V. Exceeding 6V risks violating thermal limits under full load due to increased power dissipation - especially in SOT23 package with θJA = 207°C/W. Operation above 6V is not guaranteed per datasheet specifications.
Can AP7333-33SAG-7 operate without an output capacitor?
No - a minimum 1µF ceramic output capacitor is required for stability and transient response. The device is not stable without it, and omitting the capacitor causes oscillation or unregulated output. The datasheet explicitly states stability is guaranteed only with 1–4.7µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitors having ESR between 10mΩ and 200mΩ.
Does AP7333-33SAG-7 require a minimum load current to maintain regulation?
No - the AP7333-33SAG-7 maintains stable 3.3V regulation with zero load current. This is confirmed in the "No Load Stability" section of the datasheet, which states the device remains regulated and stable even when output current is 0mA, eliminating need for bleed resistors in low-power sleep modes.
How does thermal shutdown behave under sustained overload?
When junction temperature reaches ~140°C, thermal shutdown disables the output; recovery occurs at ~125°C due to 15°C hysteresis. Under continuous overload, this causes cycling - ON/OFF toggling - which limits average power dissipation and prevents permanent damage, though it results in intermittent output voltage.
