Product details
Overview
AS78L05RTR-E1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed 5V, 100mA positive linear voltage regulator in SOT-89 package, designed for local on-card regulation in space-constrained PCBs. It delivers ±5% output voltage accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, features internal current limiting and thermal shutdown, and operates with input voltages up to 30V - ideal for microprocessor core power and embedded sensor supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the AS78L05RTR-E1 datasheet, AS78L05RTR-E1 pinout, AS78L05RTR-E1 application, or AS78L05RTR-E1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (1.7V at 40mA), PSRR (47–62dB at 120Hz), output noise (40µV RMS, 10Hz–100kHz), and thermal resistance (28.3°C/W junction-to-case in SOT-89).
Technical Context
The AS78L05RTR-E1 implements a monolithic series-pass regulator architecture with built-in safe-area compensation for output transistor protection. Its internal bandgap reference and error amplifier maintain stable 5V output under varying line (7–20V) and load (1–100mA) conditions without external components.
Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C junction temperature, and short-circuit current limiting holds output current below 100mA during fault conditions. The device requires only 0.33µF input and 0.1µF output ceramic capacitors for stability across its full operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V ±5% (4.75–5.25 V over –40°C to +125°C, ensuring reliable logic-level compliance) |
| Max Output Current | 100 mA (continuous DC load capability with adequate heatsinking) |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.7 V at 40 mA (enables operation from 6.7V min input; critical for low-headroom 7–12V rail designs) |
| PSRR | 47–62 dB at 120 Hz (suppresses ripple from upstream switching converters or noisy AC/DC supplies) |
| Output Noise | 40 µV RMS (10 Hz–100 kHz; suitable for analog sensors and low-noise MCU peripherals) |
| Quiescent Current | 3–5.5 mA (low standby consumption for battery-backed or always-on subsystems) |
| Thermal Resistance θJC | 28.3 °C/W (SOT-89 package enables ~2.6W max power dissipation with 75°C case rise) |
Pinout & Package
SOT-89 package: 3-pin surface-mount, thermally enhanced plastic outline with exposed pad (not electrically connected). Pin 1 = INPUT, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = OUTPUT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INPUT) | Unregulated DC input | Accepts 7–30V; must be decoupled with ≥0.33µF capacitor close to pin |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for input capacitor, output capacitor, and load; connects to thermal pad |
| 3 (OUTPUT) | Regulated 5V output | Delivers up to 100mA; requires ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor for stability and noise suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components required | Self-contained regulation with integrated pass transistor, reference, and error amplifier - reduces BOM count and layout area |
| Internal thermal shutdown | Automatic disable above 150°C junction temperature - prevents damage during overload or poor heatsinking |
| Safe-area compensated output transistor | Prevents second breakdown under transient overloads - improves reliability in dynamic load applications |
| ±5% output voltage tolerance | Tight regulation across full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) - ensures compatibility with 5V TTL and CMOS logic |
| Lead-free and RoHS compliant | E1 suffix denotes Diodes Incorporated's standard lead-free finish - meets global environmental compliance requirements |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC78L05ACZTR (onsemi) | Same 5V/100mA spec, but TO-92 only; higher quiescent current (5.5 mA typ vs. 4.2 mA typ) | Limited to through-hole assembly; lacks SOT-89 thermal performance (θJA = 200°C/W vs. 180°C/W) | Select when legacy TO-92 footprint or lower-cost bulk packaging is required |
| TLV70033DCKR (TI) | Lower dropout (0.175V @ 200mA), but 3.3V output only; requires external capacitors with specific ESR | Not pin-compatible; targets ultra-low-power 3.3V systems, not 5V legacy logic | Choose only if redesigning for 3.3V logic and <1V input headroom is mandatory |
Compared with MC78L05ACZTR and TLV70033DCKR, the AS78L05RTR-E1 uniquely balances SOT-89 thermal efficiency, 5V compatibility, and drop-in replaceability in existing 5V microcontroller and sensor designs - without requiring layout changes or voltage translation.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable 5V output at 100mA?
The AS78L05RTR-E1 requires a minimum input voltage of 6.7V to maintain regulation at 100mA load, based on its 1.7V dropout voltage specification. Below this threshold, output voltage drops linearly with input; operation below 7V is not recommended for full-load applications.
Can AS78L05RTR-E1 replace older 78L05 variants in existing designs?
Yes - it is pin-compatible with standard 3-pin SOT-89 78L05 regulators and matches the same electrical specifications (5V ±5%, 100mA, thermal shutdown). No layout or schematic changes are needed, though its lower θJC (28.3°C/W) allows higher power handling than many legacy equivalents.
Is an input capacitor mandatory, and what value is recommended?
Yes, a minimum 0.33µF ceramic capacitor is required between INPUT and GND, placed within 5mm of the pins. This stabilizes the regulator against input impedance variations and suppresses high-frequency noise from upstream sources - omission risks oscillation or poor transient response.
Does AS78L05RTR-E1 support reverse-polarity input protection?
No - the device lacks internal reverse-voltage protection. Applying negative voltage to the INPUT pin relative to GND may cause irreversible damage. External protection (e.g., series diode or TVS) is required in environments prone to wiring errors or battery reversal.
