Product details
Overview
AS7805AT-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed 5V, 1A three-terminal positive linear voltage regulator in TO-220-3 package with ±4% output voltage accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, internal thermal shutdown, and safe-area protection. It delivers stable local regulation for microprocessor power supplies and post-regulation after switching converters.
For engineers reviewing the AS7805AT-G1 datasheet, AS7805AT-G1 pinout, AS7805AT-G1 application, or AS7805AT-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (2V at 1A), line/load regulation (≤50 mV), PSRR (70 dB at 120 Hz), and thermal resistance (θJA = 60°C/W).
Technical Context
The AS7805AT-G1 integrates a pass transistor with internal current limiting, thermal overload protection, and safe-area compensation to prevent damage under sustained overload or high ambient temperature. Its architecture ensures stable operation without external compensation components across capacitive loads up to 100 µF.
It operates with input voltages from 7.5 V to 25 V and maintains regulated 5 V output across load currents from 5 mA to 1 A. The device exhibits low quiescent current (3.2–6 mA) and minimal output noise (10 µV/√Hz), making it suitable for noise-sensitive analog and digital subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V ±4% over full temperature range - ensures compatibility with 5 V logic and analog rails without external trimming. |
| Max Output Current | 1 A continuous - supports single-rail powering of microcontrollers, FPGAs, and peripheral ICs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 2 V at 1 A, 25°C - defines minimum VIN–VOUT margin required for regulation; enables use with 7.5 V minimum input. |
| Line Regulation | ≤50 mV (VIN = 7.5–20 V) - limits output variation due to input supply ripple or sag in upstream converters. |
| Load Regulation | ≤50 mV (IOUT = 5 mA–1 A) - maintains tight output stability across dynamic load steps typical in digital systems. |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 120 Hz - suppresses low-frequency switching noise from buck converters used in hybrid power architectures. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 60°C/W (TO-220-3) - determines heatsink requirement: ~15 W max dissipation with 60°C ambient and 150°C junction limit. |
Pinout & Package
AS7805AT-G1 uses the TO-220-3 package (Option 1), with standard pinout viewed from front: Pin 1 = INPUT, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = OUTPUT. The metal tab is electrically connected to Pin 2 (GND), enabling direct heatsink mounting without isolation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INPUT) | Voltage Input | Accepts unregulated DC input (7.5–25 V); requires ≥0.33 µF ceramic or tantalum bypass capacitor close to pin. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return path for input and output; metal tab connection enables low-impedance thermal and electrical grounding to heatsink. |
| 3 (OUTPUT) | Voltage Output | Delivers regulated 5 V; requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic output capacitor for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal Short-Circuit Protection | Limits output current to ~50 mA during sustained short - prevents catastrophic failure and enables safe auto-recovery. |
| Thermal Shutdown Activation | Triggers at TJ ≈ 150°C - halts regulation until junction cools below ~135°C, protecting silicon and PCB. |
| Safe-Area Compensation | Prevents second breakdown of output transistor under high VCE/IC stress - critical for reliability in transient overload conditions. |
| Lead-Free & RoHS Compliant | TO-220-3 package with matte tin-plated leads - meets EU RoHS 2015/863/EU and automotive change-control readiness. |
| Low Load Regulation | 20 mV typical variation from 5 mA to 1 A load - eliminates need for post-regulator LDO in medium-current 5 V rails. |
Applications
| Microprocessor Power Supply | Motherboard Local Regulation |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Providing clean 5 V rail to legacy microcontrollers (e.g., 8051, PIC18) and FPGA configuration circuitry on embedded control boards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary linear regulator delivering stable VCC with low noise and fast transient response to digital logic blocks. Use Value: Eliminates need for external current limiting or thermal monitoring circuitry due to integrated protection features. |
Use Scenario: On-board 5 V generation for USB peripherals, BIOS chips, and Super I/O controllers in industrial motherboards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Local point-of-load regulator decoupling main ATX or DC-DC converter outputs. Use Value: Maintains ±4% output accuracy across –40°C to +125°C ambient, ensuring reliable boot and runtime operation. |
| Post-Regulation for Switching Supplies | Telecom Line Card Power |
|
Use Scenario: Downstream filtering of 5 V output from 24 V–5 V buck converters in power management subsystems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise linear post-regulator improving PSRR and reducing residual switching ripple to <100 µVpp. Use Value: 70 dB PSRR at 120 Hz suppresses fundamental ripple from 60 Hz rectified or low-frequency PWM sources. |
Use Scenario: Powering analog front-end circuits (codec, SLIC interface) and management MCU in telecom line cards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable 5 V source tolerant of wide input variation (e.g., 12–24 V backplane) and board-level thermal gradients. Use Value: Thermal shutdown and safe-area protection ensure uninterrupted operation during prolonged high-temperature field deployment. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM7805CDT-TR | ±2% output tolerance (tighter), higher IQ (5.5–8 mA), θJA = 65°C/W (TO-252) | Preferred where tighter initial accuracy is required; less thermally robust in high-power density layouts. | Select when ±2% VOUT spec is mandatory and thermal headroom allows higher θJA. |
| MC7805BDTRKG | ±4% tolerance, lower dropout (2 V typ), but no safe-area compensation; θJA = 60°C/W (TO-252) | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer designs; lacks robustness under simultaneous high VIN–VOUT and high IOUT. | Choose only if safe-area protection is not required and thermal design accommodates same θJA. |
Compared with LM7805CDT-TR and MC7805BDTRKG, AS7805AT-G1 uniquely combines ±4% accuracy, integrated safe-area compensation, and TO-220-3 mechanical robustness-making it optimal for industrial and telecom applications demanding long-term reliability under overload stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for AS7805AT-G1?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 36 V, but the recommended operating range is 7.5 V to 25 V per datasheet Section 4. Exceeding 25 V risks exceeding power dissipation limits at full load and may trigger thermal shutdown prematurely, especially without adequate heatsinking.
Does AS7805AT-G1 require external capacitors?
Yes: a minimum 0.33 µF ceramic or tantalum capacitor is required between INPUT and GND, and a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between OUTPUT and GND. These stabilize regulation and improve transient response; omitting them risks oscillation or poor load step recovery.
Is the metal tab on AS7805AT-G1 electrically connected?
Yes-the metal tab is internally connected to Pin 2 (GND). This allows direct mounting to an earthed heatsink without insulating hardware, simplifying thermal design while maintaining low ground impedance for noise control.
How does AS7805AT-G1 behave under short-circuit conditions?
Under output short, the device limits current to approximately 50 mA (typical) via internal foldback protection, then activates thermal shutdown if junction temperature exceeds ~150°C. Once cooled below ~135°C, it automatically resumes regulation-no latch or manual reset required.
