Product details
Overview
AS78L05RTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output +5V, 100mA positive voltage regulator in SOT-89 package with internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe-area protection. It delivers stable local regulation for microprocessor power supplies and on-card applications, maintaining ±5% output accuracy over –40°C to +125°C with dropout voltage of 1.7V at 40mA load.
For engineers reviewing the AS78L05RTR-G1 datasheet, AS78L05RTR-G1 pinout, AS78L05RTR-G1 application, or AS78L05RTR-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (up to 30V), quiescent current (3–5.5mA), PSRR (47–62dB at 120Hz), noise performance (40µV RMS), and thermal resistance (28.3°C/W).
Technical Context
This linear regulator uses a PNP pass transistor architecture with built-in short-circuit and thermal overload protection. Its internal safe-area compensation ensures reliable operation under transient overloads without external components.
Designed for low-noise, low-quiescent-current operation, it achieves 40µV output noise (10Hz–100kHz) and maintains regulation across 1mA–100mA load range while rejecting line ripple up to 62dB at 120Hz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0V ±5% (guaranteed over full temperature and load range) |
| Max Output Current | 100mA (continuous, with adequate heatsinking) |
| Input Voltage Range | 7–30V (supports wide-input industrial and consumer rails) |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.7V at 40mA (enables operation from 6.7V minimum input) |
| PSRR | 47–62dB at 120Hz (effective rejection of rectified AC ripple) |
| Output Noise | 40µV RMS (10Hz–100kHz; suitable for noise-sensitive analog/microcontroller supplies) |
| Quiescent Current | 3–5.5mA (low standby power for battery-adjacent or always-on circuits) |
| Thermal Resistance θJC | 28.3°C/W (SOT-89 package enables >500mW dissipation with PCB copper) |
Pinout & Package
SOT-89 package: 3-pin surface-mount plastic package with exposed thermal pad (pin 2 is GND, providing primary thermal path). Dimensions: 4.6 × 2.6 × 1.6mm (L×W×H), lead pitch 1.5mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | INPUT | Unregulated DC input (max 30V); connects to upstream filter capacitor |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference and primary thermal conduction path to PCB copper |
| 3 | OUTPUT | Stable +5V regulated output; requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor per datasheet |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components required | Self-contained regulation with integrated pass element and protection circuitry |
| Internal thermal shutdown | Activates at ~150°C junction temperature to prevent permanent damage during overload |
| Safe-area protected output transistor | Prevents secondary breakdown under simultaneous high-voltage/high-current stress |
| ±5% output voltage tolerance | Tight regulation maintained across –40°C to +125°C ambient without trimming |
| Lead-free and green compliant | G1 suffix indicates RoHS-compliant, halogen-free packaging per Diodes Inc. standards |
Applications
| Microprocessor Power Supply | Consumer Audio Front-End |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar +5V linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM78L05ACZ-TR | Higher quiescent current (5.5–8mA), wider VOUT tolerance (±6%), TO-92 only | Limited thermal performance (θJA = 180°C/W); unsuitable for >50mA continuous loads in compact layouts | Choose when legacy TO-92 compatibility is mandatory and power density is not constrained. |
| MCP1700T-5002E/MB | Lower IQ (1.6µA), but only 250mA max; no internal short-circuit protection; requires external capacitor | Optimized for ultra-low-power sleep modes, not robust industrial load transients | Prefer for battery-powered IoT nodes where standby current dominates lifetime; avoid for mains-powered systems with surge risk. |
Compared with LM78L05ACZ-TR and MCP1700T-5002E/MB, AS78L05RTR-G1 balances moderate quiescent current (3–5.5mA), robust protection (thermal + short-circuit + safe-area), and SOT-89 thermal performance-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 5V local regulation in industrial and consumer edge devices.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for AS78L05RTR-G1?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 36V, but the recommended operating range is 7–30V for AS78L05. Exceeding 30V risks exceeding the 750mW power dissipation limit at full load and elevated ambient temperatures, potentially triggering thermal shutdown.
Does AS78L05RTR-G1 require input and output capacitors?
Yes: a 0.33µF ceramic capacitor on the input and a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor on the output are required per the datasheet to ensure stability and transient response. The 0.01µF minimum load capacitance recommendation applies only for high-frequency noise suppression beyond standard operation.
How does the SOT-89 package improve thermal performance over TO-92?
The SOT-89's θJC of 28.3°C/W-versus TO-92's 40°C/W-reduces junction-to-case temperature rise by ~30% at 100mA. Combined with its exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB copper, it enables sustained 100mA operation without external heatsinks in typical 4-layer designs.
Is AS78L05RTR-G1 suitable for automotive applications?
No: while rated for –40°C to +125°C junction temperature, it lacks AEC-Q100 qualification, automotive-grade screening, and extended reliability testing. It is intended for industrial and consumer applications-not safety-critical or automotive power domains.
