Product details
Overview
AP7333-33SRG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 300mA fixed-output (3.3V) 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 AP7333-33SRG-7 datasheet, AP7333-33SRG-7 pinout, AP7333-33SRG-7 application, or AP7333-33SRG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under 300mA load, thermal shutdown threshold (140°C), current limit (400–600mA), stability with low-ESR capacitors, and SOT23R pin compatibility in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AP7333-33SRG-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 fast start-up (80µs) and excellent load/line transient response without external compensation.
Designed for fixed-output regulation, it operates across 2V–6V input while maintaining ±2% output accuracy over –40°C to +85°C ambient. The SOT23R package uses reversed pinout (IN=Pin3, GND=Pin1, OUT=Pin2) versus standard SOT23, enabling layout flexibility in high-density designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2% - ensures precise rail generation for 3.3V logic, USB peripherals, and RF front-end biasing. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous - supports moderate-power microcontrollers, sensors, and wireless transceivers without thermal derating at TA ≤ 60°C. |
| Quiescent Current | 65µA typical at full load - minimizes battery drain in always-on monitoring circuits and sleep-mode subsystems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 300mV typical at 300mA - enables regulation from 3.6V input down to 3.3V output, critical for single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) applications. |
| PSRR | 65dB at 100Hz - suppresses low-frequency ripple from switching DC/DC converters upstream, improving analog sensor or ADC reference stability. |
| Start-up Time | 80µs - allows rapid power sequencing in wake-from-sleep scenarios, reducing system latency in portable devices. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 140°C junction threshold with 15°C hysteresis - provides self-recovery protection during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23R package: 3-pin, RoHS-compliant, green molding compound, 230°C/W θJA on FR-4 PCB with minimum pad layout per AP02001.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal bias and output current; must connect to low-impedance ground plane to ensure stability and EMI control. |
| Pin 2 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 3.3V to load; requires ≥1µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of pin for transient response and stability. |
| Pin 3 (IN) | Input supply | Accepts 2–6V unregulated input; bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor close to pin to suppress high-frequency noise and supply glitches. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ with load | 65µA at 300mA - enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell-powered IoT sensors operating intermittently. |
| Fast transient response | Stable 0→300mA load step without overshoot/undershoot exceeding ±3% - supports GSM/TDMA baseband ICs with pulsed current demands. |
| Low-ESR capacitor support | Stable with 1µF ceramic (10–200mΩ ESR) - eliminates need for bulk electrolytic capacitors, saving board space and cost. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (400–600mA), short-circuit clamp (100mA), and thermal shutdown (140°C) - removes need for external fault-handling circuitry. |
| No minimum load requirement | Regulates stably at 0mA output - simplifies design for systems with variable or intermittent loads like touch controllers or wake-on-event peripherals. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-3302E/TO | 250mA max output, 1.6µA IQ, SOT23-3 package (standard pinout: IN=1, GND=2, OUT=3) | Limited to lower-current peripherals; ultra-low IQ suits multi-year battery apps but lacks fast transient capability | Select when IQ < 2µA is mandatory and load ≤250mA; avoid if SOT23R pinout or 300mA burst current required |
| TPS7333QDBVRQ1 | 300mA, 170µA IQ, automotive-grade (-40°C to +125°C), same SOT23-3 pinout as AP7333-33SA | Higher IQ reduces battery life vs. AP7333; AEC-Q100 qualification adds cost and lead time for non-automotive use | Select only for automotive temperature range or qualification requirements; otherwise AP7333-33SRG-7 offers better IQ and cost for industrial/consumer designs |
Compared with MCP1700-3302E/TO and TPS7333QDBVRQ1, the AP7333-33SRG-7 uniquely balances 300mA capability, 65µA IQ, SOT23R layout flexibility, and fast transient response-making it optimal for space-constrained portable electronics where both efficiency and dynamic performance matter.

FAQ
What is the correct pinout for AP7333-33SRG-7?
The AP7333-33SRG-7 uses the SOT23R package with reversed pin assignment: Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = OUT, Pin 3 = IN (top view). This differs from standard SOT23 (IN-GND-OUT), so PCB layout must follow Diodes' AP02001 recommended pad pattern to avoid functional failure.
Can AP7333-33SRG-7 operate with zero load current?
Yes. The AP7333-33SRG-7 remains stable and maintains regulation with no load (0mA output), as confirmed in the datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions and Application Note sections. No minimum load resistor is required, simplifying designs for intermittent-use peripherals.
What output capacitor is required for stability?
A single 1µF X7R or X5R ceramic capacitor (10–200mΩ ESR) placed within 2mm of the OUT and GND pins ensures stability. Larger values (up to 4.7µF) improve transient response but are not required for basic operation per the datasheet's "Stable with low ESR, 1µF ceramic output capacitor" specification.
How does thermal shutdown behave under sustained overload?
At ~140°C junction temperature, the device disables output and cools; re-enabling occurs at ~125°C due to 15°C hysteresis. Under continuous overload, this causes controlled on/off cycling-limiting average power dissipation and preventing permanent damage, as verified in Absolute Maximum Ratings and Application Note sections.
