Product details
Overview
AP7387Q-33Y-13 from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q100 qualified automotive-grade ultra-low-dropout linear regulator delivering 3.3V fixed output at up to 150mA, with 5V–60V input range, 700mV dropout at 100mA, 2μA quiescent current, and 70dB PSRR at 1kHz - designed for powering MCUs and CAN/LIN transceivers in body control modules and EV battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the AP7387Q-33Y-13 datasheet, AP7387Q-33Y-13 pinout, AP7387Q-33Y-13 application, or AP7387Q-33Y-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include wide-input voltage tolerance, thermal shutdown behavior, output accuracy (±2%), fast load transient response, and SOT89 package thermal performance (θJA = 78.6°C/W).
Technical Context
The AP7387Q-33Y-13 integrates a precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and internal resistor network to maintain 3.3V ±2% output across -40°C to +125°C ambient. Its current-limit circuit triggers at 250mA and combines with thermal shutdown (TSD = +150°C, hysteresis = +30°C) for robust fault protection.
It achieves high PSRR (70dB @1kHz) and excellent line regulation (0.01%/V) via low-noise bandgap reference and optimized error amplifier loop dynamics, enabling stable operation under rapid VIN transients (e.g., load dump) and dynamic load steps from 1mA to 150mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2% - ensures compatibility with 3.3V logic interfaces without external feedback components. |
| Input Voltage Range | 5V to 60V - supports direct connection to automotive 12V/24V/48V battery rails including load-dump transients. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - sufficient for low-power MCUs, CAN transceivers, and sensor signal chains in body electronics. |
| Dropout Voltage | 700mV @100mA (typ.) - enables regulation down to VIN = 4.0V while maintaining 3.3V output in cold-crank conditions. |
| Quiescent Current | 2μA (typ.) - minimizes standby power loss in always-on automotive modules like door controllers and LIN nodes. |
| PSRR | 70dB @1kHz - suppresses ripple from noisy switching supplies feeding the LDO input, preserving analog/sensor accuracy. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +150°C junction temperature with +30°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
AP7387Q-33Y-13 is packaged in SOT89 - a thermally enhanced 3-pin surface-mount package with exposed tab for GND connection and improved heat dissipation (θJA = 78.6°C/W). The tab must be soldered to a large PCB copper area connected to system ground.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input supply connection | Accepts 5–60V DC; requires ≥1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress high-frequency noise. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary ground return path; connects internally to exposed tab - must be tied to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| 3 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 3.3V ±2%; requires ≥10µF X7R/X5R ceramic output capacitor placed within 2mm of VOUT/GND pins for stability. |
| Tab (GND) | Thermal & electrical ground | Exposed metal pad - not electrically isolated; must be soldered to ≥100mm² copper pour connected to GND for thermal relief and EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C), PPAP-capable, manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities - meets OEM requirements for serial production. |
| Ultra-low IQ | 2μA typical quiescent current - enables >10-year battery life in always-on vehicle modules powered by 12V lead-acid or LiFePO₄ backup cells. |
| Fast transient response | Load step recovery <200µs (10mA→100mA); line step recovery <4ms (5.3V→12V) - maintains MCU core voltage during ignition transients. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (250mA), short-circuit foldback, and thermal shutdown with hysteresis - eliminates need for external fault-handling circuitry. |
| High PSRR & low noise | 70dB @1kHz, <30µVRMS output noise - preserves signal integrity in ADC references and RF front-end biasing applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV73333PQDBVRQ1 | 3.3V, 300mA, 225mV dropout @150mA, 65dB PSRR @1kHz, SOT-23-5 | Higher current capability but lower PSRR and narrower input range (1.4–5.5V) | Preferred only when >150mA load or ultra-low dropout is required; unsuitable for direct 12V/24V battery input. |
| MAX6675AATA+T | 3.3V, 150mA, 350mV dropout @100mA, 60dB PSRR @1kHz, TDFN-6 | Lower dropout and smaller footprint, but lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and automotive PPAP support | Appropriate for non-safety-critical industrial designs where automotive certification is not mandated. |
Compared with TLV73333PQDBVRQ1 and MAX6675AATA+T, the AP7387Q-33Y-13 uniquely combines 60V input tolerance, AEC-Q100 qualification, and 70dB PSRR - making it the only drop-in solution for 3.3V MCU power in automotive body and powertrain modules requiring full OEM compliance.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 3.3V output?
The AP7387Q-33Y-13 maintains regulation when VIN ≥ (VOUT + VDROP). With typical dropout of 700mV at 100mA, the minimum functional input is 4.0V. At 150mA, dropout rises to 1100mV, requiring VIN ≥ 4.4V. This supports cold-crank operation in 12V systems where battery voltage may dip to 4.0–4.5V.
Can AP7387Q-33Y-13 be used without an output capacitor?
No - an output capacitor is mandatory for stability. Diodes specifies a minimum of 10µF ceramic (X7R/X5R) placed within 2mm of VOUT and GND pins. Omitting or undersizing COUT causes oscillation, excessive overshoot/undershoot during load transients, and potential thermal runaway under heavy load.
Is the exposed tab on the SOT89 package electrically connected?
Yes - the exposed tab is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to a dedicated PCB copper pour tied to system ground. It serves both thermal conduction (reducing θJA by ~20°C/W) and electrical grounding; floating or isolating the tab degrades thermal performance and may cause instability.
Does AP7387Q-33Y-13 require input capacitance, and what type is recommended?
Yes - a minimum 1µF ceramic capacitor (X7R/X5R) is required between VIN and GND, placed adjacent to the device. This decouples high-frequency noise from upstream supplies and prevents oscillation. Larger values (e.g., 4.7–10µF) improve immunity to fast transients but do not affect basic stability.
