Product details
Overview
AP7361C-25Y5-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1A fixed-output (2.5V) ultra-low dropout linear regulator in SOT89-5 package with enable control, ±1% output accuracy, 360mV dropout at 1A (for 3.3V variant; 2.5V dropout is 250mV typ), and 60µA quiescent current-designed for stable power delivery in battery-powered audio/video systems and LCD display subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the AP7361C-25Y5-13 datasheet, AP7361C-25Y5-13 pinout, AP7361C-25Y5-13 application, or AP7361C-25Y5-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 2.5V output, EN pin logic thresholds (VIH ≥1.0V, VIL ≤0.3V), thermal shutdown threshold (150°C), PSRR (75dB @ 1kHz), and compatibility with ≥2.2µF MLCC output capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP7361C-25Y5-13 integrates a PMOS pass element, band-gap reference, error amplifier, and fold-back current limiting. Its fixed 2.5V output is internally trimmed, eliminating external resistor networks required in adjustable variants.
Enable functionality is implemented via a high-impedance EN pin with 3.0MΩ internal pull-down; operation requires VIH ≥1.0V to activate regulation and VIL ≤0.3V to disable output. Thermal shutdown engages at 150°C with 20°C hysteresis, enabling self-recovery without external intervention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±1% - ensures precise rail generation for ADC references or core logic without trimming. |
| Max Output Current | 1.0A continuous - supports moderate-power digital loads such as SoC I/O domains or display drivers. |
| Dropout Voltage | 250mV typical at 1A (2.5V output) - enables regulation from 2.75V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V rail derating. |
| Quiescent Current | 60µA typical - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems like remote control receivers or sensor wake-up circuits. |
| PSRR | 75dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C trigger with 20°C hysteresis - provides autonomous overtemperature protection without system-level monitoring. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.2V to 6.0V - accommodates wide-input sources including USB PD, multi-cell batteries, and industrial 5V rails. |
Pinout & Package
SOT89-5 package: 5-pin thermally enhanced plastic package with exposed pad (pin 4 = GND); footprint optimized for PCB heat dissipation in space-constrained applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Regulator input | Accepts 2.2–6.0V supply; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for input/output paths and thermal pad; must be connected to large copper pour for θJA = 150°C/W. |
| 3 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 2.5V; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor directly between OUT and GND for transient response and stability. |
| 4 (GND) | Thermal ground pad | Exposed pad tied to PCB ground plane via multiple thermal vias; primary path for heat conduction and EMI reduction. |
| 5 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic interface (VIH ≥1.0V); internal 3.0MΩ pull-down allows direct tie-to-IN for always-on operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 250mV at 1A for 2.5V output - extends usable input range and improves efficiency in low-voltage battery systems. |
| High PSRR | 75dB @ 1kHz - maintains clean 2.5V rail despite noisy switcher inputs, reducing need for additional filtering. |
| Fold-back short-circuit protection | Limits output to ~400mA during hard shorts - prevents thermal runaway while allowing safe recovery after fault removal. |
| Stable with small MLCCs | Works with ≥2.2µF ceramic output capacitors - eliminates need for bulky electrolytics, saving board space and cost. |
| Wide ambient temperature range | -40°C to +85°C operation - qualified for consumer electronics, industrial HMI panels, and automotive cabin modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1703T-2502E/MB | 250mA max output, higher 350mV dropout at 250mA, no EN pin | Not suitable for 1A loads; lacks enable control for power sequencing | Select only for low-current, always-on applications where size and cost outweigh performance needs. |
| TLS850B2TE/V33 | Automotive-grade AEC-Q100, 500mA output, 200mV dropout at 500mA, integrated watchdog | Overqualified for consumer use; higher cost and larger SO-8EP package | Choose only if automotive qualification, extended temp range (-40°C to +150°C), or functional safety features are mandatory. |
Compared with MCP1703T-2502E/MB and TLS850B2TE/V33, the AP7361C-25Y5-13 uniquely balances 1A capability, 250mV dropout at full load, EN control, and SOT89-5 compactness-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained consumer electronics requiring robust 2.5V regulation.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable 2.5V output at 1A?
The AP7361C-25Y5-13 requires VIN ≥ 2.75V to maintain regulation at 1A load, based on its typical 250mV dropout voltage. At lower input voltages, output collapses; operation below 2.2V absolute maximum rating risks damage. Input must also stay within 2.2V–6.0V recommended range.
Can the EN pin be left floating?
No. The EN pin has an internal 3.0MΩ pull-down resistor but must not be left floating due to susceptibility to noise-induced toggling. For always-on operation, tie EN directly to IN. For controlled enable, drive with a clean logic signal meeting VIH ≥1.0V and VIL ≤0.3V specifications.
Is a minimum load required for stability?
No minimum load is required. The AP7361C-25Y5-13 remains stable and regulated from zero load up to 1A, verified per datasheet testing conditions. This eliminates need for dummy loads in low-power sleep states.
What thermal considerations apply to the SOT89-5 package?
The SOT89-5 package has θJA = 150°C/W. To avoid thermal shutdown at 1A, keep ambient temperature ≤65°C when VIN = 4.5V (PD = 2.0W). Use ≥2 thermal vias under the exposed GND pad and connect to ≥1in² internal/external ground plane for reliable operation.
