Product details
Overview
AS7808ADTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output +8V, 1A three-terminal positive linear voltage regulator in TO-252-2 (5) package, featuring internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe-area protection. It delivers stable local regulation for microprocessor power supplies and post-regulation of switching converters with ±4% output voltage accuracy over –40°C to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the AS7808ADTR-G1 datasheet, AS7808ADTR-G1 pinout, AS7808ADTR-G1 application, or AS7808ADTR-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (2V at 1A), load regulation (≤50 mV), ripple rejection (≥58 dB), and RoHS-compliant "Green" packaging with halogen/antimony-free molding compound.
Technical Context
The AS7808ADTR-G1 implements a monolithic bipolar linear regulator architecture with integrated pass transistor, error amplifier, reference, and protection circuitry. Its design centers on robustness under overload and thermal stress, with safe-area compensation ensuring reliable operation up to 1A output current when adequately heatsinked.
It operates within a recommended input voltage range of 10.8V to 27V for the 8V variant (inferred from AS7812A/AS7815A VIN min/max scaling and typical dropout), supports 0.1µF–0.33µF input/output capacitance per application circuit, and maintains stability without external compensation across its full operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | +8 V nominal, ±4% tolerance over –40°C to +125°C - ensures compatibility with 8V logic or analog rails requiring tight DC accuracy. |
| Max Output Current | 1 A continuous - sufficient for powering core logic, I/O buffers, or small FPGA domains without external boosting. |
| Dropout Voltage | 2 V at 1 A, TJ = +25°C - defines minimum VIN–VOUT headroom needed to sustain regulation; impacts efficiency in low-headroom systems. |
| Line Regulation | ≤120 mV (AS7812A data scaled conservatively) - limits output variation due to input supply ripple or drift, critical for noise-sensitive analog stages. |
| Load Regulation | ≤50 mV (AS7805A/AS7812A max values) - constrains output shift from no-load to full-load, enabling stable biasing across dynamic current profiles. |
| Ripple Rejection | ≥58 dB at 120 Hz - suppresses low-frequency switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters, preserving signal integrity. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.2–6 mA - determines no-load power loss; enables use in always-on subsystems with constrained standby budgets. |
Pinout & Package
AS7808ADTR-G1 is housed in a TO-252-2 (5) surface-mount package (also labeled TO252 Type CJ), featuring exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation. Thermal resistance θJA is 100°C/W; θJC is 16°C/W. Moisture sensitivity level is MSL 3 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INPUT) | Voltage Input | Accepts unregulated DC input; must be ≥10.8V to maintain 8V output at full load given 2V dropout. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return path for input, output, and internal circuitry; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 (OUTPUT) | Voltage Output | Delivers regulated +8V; requires 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor per datasheet application circuit for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal Short-Circuit Protection | Limits output current to ~0.2 A during sustained short, preventing device destruction and system fault propagation. |
| Thermal Shutdown Activation | Triggers at TJ ≈ +150°C junction temperature, allowing automatic recovery after cooling - eliminates need for external thermal monitoring. |
| Safe-Area Compensation | Maintains SOA compliance during transient overloads, enabling reliable 1A delivery without external current-sense or foldback circuitry. |
| Lead-Free & Halogen-Free Packaging | TO-252-2 (5) meets RoHS 3 and Diodes' "Green" standard (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) - satisfies environmental compliance for industrial and telecom end equipment. |
| Low Load Regulation | ≤50 mV shift from 5 mA to 1 A load - simplifies power sequencing and reduces need for post-regulator LDOs in multi-rail systems. |
Applications
| Microprocessor Power Supply | Post-Regulation for Switching Supplies |

Use Value: Eliminates need for custom feedback networks or external pass transistors while maintaining ±4% output accuracy across industrial temperature range. |
Use Scenario: Tightening output voltage tolerance and reducing residual ripple from a 12V or 15V buck converter feeding analog front-ends or precision ADC references. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary linear regulator filtering high-frequency switching artifacts and improving PSRR beyond what the primary DC/DC can achieve. Use Value: Achieves ≥58 dB ripple rejection at 120 Hz and ≤50 mV load regulation, enabling sub-mV-level analog signal fidelity. |
| Motherboard Local Regulation | Telecom Line Card Power |
Use Scenario: On-board 8V generation for PCIe slot auxiliary power, fan controllers, or SMBus interface ICs where space and thermal management are constrained. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Compact, surface-mount voltage regulator mounted directly adjacent to load to minimize trace inductance and IR drop. Use Value: TO-252-2 (5) package with exposed thermal pad enables 1A delivery in footprint-limited layouts without through-hole heatsinking. |
Use Scenario: Powering line-side interface circuits (e.g., SLIC bias, codec analog sections) in carrier-grade access equipment requiring long-term reliability and RoHS compliance. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Industrial-grade linear regulator meeting extended temperature (-40°C to +125°C) and environmental (halogen-free) mandates. Use Value: Integrated thermal shutdown and safe-area protection ensure uninterrupted operation during ambient temperature excursions or transient overloads common in telco cabinets. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS7808AT-E1 | Same electrical specs, but in TO-220-3 (through-hole) package with θJA = 60°C/W - higher thermal performance but larger footprint. | Suitable for prototyping, low-volume assemblies, or designs requiring manual soldering or mechanical mounting. | Select when board-level thermal management favors through-hole heatsinking or when reworkability outweighs space constraints. |
| LM7808CDT/NOPB | Pin-compatible 8V regulator (TO-252), but ±2% initial accuracy (tighter), higher IQ (6–8 mA), and lower PSRR (45 dB @ 120 Hz). | Better suited for cost-sensitive consumer applications where tighter initial tolerance matters more than ripple rejection or quiescent current. | Choose if ±2% output accuracy is mandatory and 13 dB lower PSRR is acceptable; verify thermal derating with θJA = 100°C/W. |
Compared with AS7808ADTR-G1, AS7808AT-E1 offers superior thermal dissipation in legacy form factors, while LM7808CDT/NOPB trades ripple rejection and efficiency for tighter initial voltage tolerance - making the AS7808ADTR-G1 optimal for noise-critical, thermally constrained industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AS7808ADTR-G1 to regulate at full 1A load?
The AS7808ADTR-G1 requires a minimum input voltage of 10.8 V to maintain regulation at 1 A, based on its 2 V dropout voltage specification at +25°C and conservative derating for temperature and process variation. Operation below this threshold results in unregulated output collapse.
Can AS7808ADTR-G1 be used without an input bypass capacitor?
No - the datasheet specifies a 0.33 µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor on the INPUT pin. Omitting it risks instability, increased line regulation error, and potential oscillation during fast input transients due to insufficient high-frequency decoupling at the regulator's control loop input.
Is the TO-252-2 (5) package of AS7808ADTR-G1 compatible with standard TO-252 footprints?
Yes - the TO-252-2 (5) package (also designated TO252 Type CJ) uses industry-standard 2.3 mm × 6.7 mm body dimensions and 2.54 mm lead pitch. Its pin 1–2–3 assignment (INPUT–GND–OUTPUT) matches JEDEC MO-237, ensuring compatibility with generic TO-252 land patterns and pick-and-place tooling.
Does AS7808ADTR-G1 support automotive qualification?
No - AS7808ADTR-G1 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. While it operates across –40°C to +125°C, Diodes explicitly states that automotive-grade variants require separate change control, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing - none of which apply to this commercial-industrial grade part.
