Product details
Overview
AS7815ADTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output +15 V, 1 A three-terminal positive linear voltage regulator in TO-252-2 (5) / TO252 (Type CJ) package, featuring ±4% output voltage accuracy over −40°C to +125°C, internal short-circuit limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe-area protection. It delivers stable local regulation for microprocessor power supplies, post-regulation after switching converters, and telecom infrastructure boards.
For engineers reviewing the AS7815ADTR-G1 datasheet, AS7815ADTR-G1 pinout, AS7815ADTR-G1 application, or AS7815ADTR-G1 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, application-specific implementation value, and confirmed alternative options with functional distinctions.
Technical Context
The AS7815ADTR-G1 implements a monolithic series-pass regulator architecture with built-in current limiting, thermal foldback, and output transistor safe-area compensation. Its internal bandgap reference and error amplifier maintain regulation across input voltages from 17.9 V to 30 V at full 1 A load.
It operates without external components beyond standard input/output capacitors (0.33 µF and 0.1 µF), supports dropout as low as 2 V at 1 A, and achieves 58 dB ripple rejection at 120 Hz under typical conditions - enabling use in noise-sensitive analog and digital subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | +15 V nominal, ±4% tolerance over full temperature range - ensures compatibility with 15 V logic and analog rails without external trimming. |
| Max Output Current | 1 A continuous - sufficient for powering FPGA I/O banks, DSP cores, or multi-rail PMIC bias supplies. |
| Input Voltage Range | 17.9 V to 30 V - supports common 24 V industrial bus inputs with margin for line transients. |
| Dropout Voltage | 2 V at 1 A, 25°C - enables operation with ≤2 V headroom, reducing heat dissipation vs. older 78xx variants. |
| Ripple Rejection | 58 dB at 120 Hz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding sensitive analog circuitry. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.4–6 mA - low enough for always-on monitoring circuits without compromising system standby efficiency. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 100 °C/W (TO-252-2) - requires minimal PCB copper area (≥1 in²) for 1 A operation at ambient ≤70°C. |
Pinout & Package
AS7815ADTR-G1 uses the TO-252-2 (5) / TO252 (Type CJ) surface-mount package - a thermally enhanced DPAK variant with exposed drain pad for PCB heat sinking. Dimensions: 10.4 × 6.7 mm body, 1.7 mm height, 0.312 g weight. Moisture sensitivity level: MSL 3 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INPUT) | Voltage Input | Accepts unregulated DC input; must be decoupled with ≥0.33 µF ceramic near pin to prevent oscillation. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return path for input capacitor, output capacitor, and load; connects to exposed thermal pad for thermal conduction. |
| 3 (OUTPUT) | Voltage Output | Delivers regulated +15 V; requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor directly at pin to ensure stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed +15 V output | Eliminates need for external feedback resistors - reduces BOM count and layout complexity in space-constrained designs. |
| ±4% output accuracy | Meets industrial-grade tolerance requirements for analog sensor excitation and op-amp biasing without calibration. |
| Internal thermal shutdown | Automatically disables output above +150°C junction temperature - prevents catastrophic failure during overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Lead-free & "Green" packaging | RoHS 3 compliant, halogen- and antimony-free molding compound - satisfies environmental compliance for global industrial and telecom deployments. |
| Safe-area protected output transistor | Prevents second breakdown during sustained short-circuit events - enables robust field-replaceable power modules without external current limiting. |
Applications
| Microprocessor Power Supply | Post-Regulation for Switching Supplies |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing clean 15 V bias to FPGA configuration I/O banks and auxiliary analog peripherals on embedded control boards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Local point-of-load regulator delivering stable voltage independent of main DC/DC converter ripple and load steps. Use Value: Maintains 15 V rail within ±0.6 V across −40°C to +125°C, ensuring reliable I/O voltage compliance and eliminating need for external supervision ICs. |
Use Scenario: Final-stage regulation after a 24 V buck converter in telecom line card power architecture. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise linear post-regulator suppressing high-frequency switching artifacts before analog front-end stages. Use Value: Achieves 58 dB ripple rejection at 120 Hz and <10 µV/V output noise, preserving SNR in ADC reference paths and RF bias networks. |
| Motherboard Local Regulation | Telecommunication Equipment |
Use Scenario: Dedicated 15 V supply for PCIe slot auxiliary power or clock buffer ICs on server motherboard VRM sections. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone fixed-voltage regulator placed adjacent to load to minimize IR drop and EMI coupling. Use Value: Delivers 1 A with only 2 V dropout, enabling efficient use of 17.9–30 V intermediate bus while maintaining tight load regulation (<150 mV). |
Use Scenario: Powering line interface circuits (e.g., SLIC bias, codec analog sections) in VoIP gateways and base station control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability linear regulator meeting telecom-grade thermal and long-term stability requirements. Use Value: Internal safe-area protection and thermal shutdown ensure uninterrupted operation during surge events, reducing field failure rates in deployed equipment. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM7815CDT/NOPB (TI) | Same 15 V output, but ±2% initial accuracy and higher quiescent current (4.5–8 mA); TO-252 package identical. | Lacks "Green" halogen-free certification; not qualified for RoHS 3-compliant telecom deployments requiring full substance compliance. | Preferred where tighter initial accuracy is critical and environmental compliance is secondary. |
| MC7815CD2TR4G (onsemi) | Identical TO-252-2 package and 15 V output, but ±5% tolerance and lower PSRR (50 dB @ 120 Hz); thermal resistance 105 °C/W. | Higher dropout (2.5 V) and reduced ripple rejection limit use in high-efficiency or noise-sensitive post-regulation roles. | Selected when cost is primary constraint and performance margins allow relaxed regulation and noise specs. |
Compared with LM7815CDT/NOPB, AS7815ADTR-G1 trades ±2% initial accuracy for guaranteed RoHS 3 and halogen-free compliance; versus MC7815CD2TR4G, it delivers superior PSRR and tighter thermal resistance - making it optimal for regulated telecom and industrial environments demanding both reliability and regulatory adherence.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AS7815ADTR-G1 to regulate at full 1 A?
The datasheet specifies a minimum input voltage of 17.9 V under recommended operating conditions for 1 A output. This accounts for the 2 V dropout voltage plus margin to sustain regulation across temperature and load variations. Below 17.9 V, output voltage will drop below 15 V, especially at high junction temperatures.
Can AS7815ADTR-G1 be used without an input capacitor?
No - the datasheet mandates a minimum 0.33 µF ceramic capacitor at the INPUT pin, placed as close as possible to the device. Omitting it risks high-frequency oscillation due to parasitic inductance in the input trace, leading to unstable output and potential device damage under transient loads.
How does the TO-252-2 (5) package's thermal performance compare to TO-220-3 for AS7815ADTR-G1?
The TO-252-2 (5) has θJA = 100 °C/W versus TO-220-3's 60 °C/W - meaning it dissipates heat less efficiently in still air. However, its exposed thermal pad allows direct PCB copper connection, enabling thermal resistance as low as 16 °C/W (θJC) when properly soldered to ≥1 in² of 2-oz copper, matching TO-220-3 heatsink performance in compact layouts.
Is AS7815ADTR-G1 qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q100?
No - the AS78XXA series is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes states that automotive-grade versions require specific change control, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing - which AS7815ADTR-G1 does not meet. For automotive use, engineers must contact Diodes directly for qualified alternatives like the AP7361 series.
