Product details
Overview
AP7383-44Y-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 4.4V, 150mA ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator in SOT89 package, featuring 30V max input voltage, 500mV dropout at 50mA, ±1% output accuracy, and thermal shutdown. It delivers stable power to USB peripherals, portable instrumentation, and battery-powered microcontroller subsystems with minimal quiescent current (1.8–3.0µA).
For engineers reviewing the AP7383-44Y-13 datasheet, AP7383-44Y-13 pinout, AP7383-44Y-13 application, or AP7383-44Y-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include wide-input capability (3.5–30V), low-noise regulation for sensitive analog circuitry, EN-controlled sequencing, and compatibility with 1µF ceramic output capacitors in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The AP7383-44Y-13 integrates an error amplifier, precision voltage reference, and current-limit protection circuit within a monolithic silicon die. Its internal resistor network sets the fixed 4.4V output without external feedback components.
It employs thermal shutdown at +160°C with +20°C hysteresis and supports enable-controlled operation via a dedicated EN pin (2.0V logic-high threshold), allowing system-level power sequencing and standby mode activation with 0.01µA standby current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 4.4V ±1% - eliminates need for external resistive divider and ensures stable rail for 4.3–4.5V logic or analog ICs. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 30V - supports direct connection to unregulated 12V/24V rails or multi-cell Li-ion batteries without pre-regulation. |
| Dropout Voltage | 500mV @ 50mA - enables >3.9V output from 4.4V input, critical for maintaining regulation under load during battery discharge. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.8–3.0µA - minimizes standby power loss in always-on sensor nodes or real-time clock circuits. |
| Line Regulation | 0.05%/V - maintains <±0.15mV/V output variation across full input range, reducing need for post-regulation filtering. |
| Load Regulation | 0.5% - holds output within ±22mV over 1–150mA load swing, suitable for mixed-signal SoC power domains. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C with +20°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
SOT89 (Y package) is a 3-pin, surface-mount, thermally enhanced plastic package with exposed tab for improved heat dissipation (θJA = 118°C/W on JEDEC High-K board). Pin 1 = VIN, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = VOUT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | Main input supply connection; accepts up to 30V DC; requires local 1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor. |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane for stability and thermal performance. |
| 3 | VOUT | Regulated 4.4V output; drives load directly; requires 1µF ceramic output capacitor for loop stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Input Range (3.5–30V) | Enables single-regulator solution across automotive, industrial, and multi-battery platforms without input pre-scaling. |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current (1.8–3.0µA) | Extends battery life in coin-cell or energy-harvesting applications where standby current dominates total consumption. |
| EN Control Input | Allows precise power-up/down sequencing of downstream ICs and reduces system-level leakage to 0.01µA in OFF state. |
| Ceramic Capacitor Compatible | Eliminates need for costly tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors, reducing BOM cost and board area. |
| Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis | Prevents thermal runaway during short-circuit events while avoiding oscillation near trip point due to +20°C hysteresis. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output ULDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7361-44Y-13 | Same 4.4V output but 300mA rated; higher dropout (600mV @ 50mA); no EN pin. | Lacks enable control; suited for higher-current loads where sequencing is not required. | Select when load exceeds 150mA and EN functionality is unnecessary. |
| MCP1703T-4402E/MB | 4.4V output, 250mA; 600mV dropout @ 250mA; 2.5µA quiescent current; no thermal shutdown. | No built-in thermal protection; requires external thermal management in high-power-density layouts. | Choose only if thermal margin is guaranteed and 150mA limit is sufficient. |
Compared with AP7361-44Y-13 and MCP1703T-4402E/MB, the AP7383-44Y-13 uniquely balances 150mA capability, EN control, thermal shutdown, and ultra-low IQ-making it optimal for compact, safety-aware, battery-sensitive systems where both sequencing and fault resilience are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 4.4V output?
The AP7383-44Y-13 requires a minimum input voltage of 3.5V to maintain regulation. At 50mA load, its dropout is 500mV, so VIN must be ≥4.9V to sustain full 4.4V output. Below that, output drops linearly per the dropout curve shown in the datasheet Figure 6.
Does the AP7383-44Y-13 require an external capacitor on the EN pin?
No external capacitor is required on the EN pin. The EN input has internal hysteresis and draws only 1µA typical current. A simple pull-up resistor to VIN or microcontroller GPIO is sufficient for reliable enable/disable control; adding capacitance may slow response and is not recommended unless intentional debouncing is needed.
Can the AP7383-44Y-13 be used with input voltages above 24V?
Yes-the AP7383-44Y-13 supports input voltages up to 30V continuously (absolute maximum rating is 33V). However, power dissipation must be calculated: at VIN = 28V and IOUT = 150mA, PD ≈ (28V − 4.4V) × 0.15A = 3.54W, exceeding the SOT89's 847mW rating. Derating or heatsinking is mandatory above ~12V at full load.
Is the SOT89 package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes-the AP7383-44Y-13 SOT89 package is fully RoHS 3 compliant (2015/863/EU), lead-free, halogen-free, and antimony-free per Diodes' "Green" definition (<900ppm Br, <900ppm Cl, <1000ppm Sb), with matte tin-plated leads solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
