Product details
Overview
AZ39151D5-5.0TRE1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 5.0V, 1.5A ultra-low dropout linear regulator in TO-252-5 package, featuring 375mV dropout at full load, ±1% output accuracy, and TTL/CMOS-compatible enable control. It delivers stable regulation for PC add-in cards and high-efficiency linear power supplies where minimal voltage overhead and low ground current are critical.
For engineers reviewing the AZ39151D5-5.0TRE1 datasheet, AZ39151D5-5.0TRE1 pinout, AZ39151D5-5.0TRE1 application, or AZ39151D5-5.0TRE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 1.5A, thermal resistance (θJA = 100°C/W), reverse-battery protection, fast transient response, and compatibility with 10µF input/output ceramic capacitors.
Technical Context
The AZ39151D5-5.0TRE1 employs a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout and inherent reverse-voltage protection without external components. Its internal current and thermal limiting functions operate independently of external biasing, ensuring safe shutdown under overload or junction temperature exceeding +125°C.
It integrates a precision bandgap reference and error amplifier with guaranteed ±1% output accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, and achieves 65dB PSRR at 120Hz while maintaining sub-200µVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz) at 100mA load - critical for noise-sensitive analog and digital subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±1% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures stable logic supply for 5V-tolerant microcontrollers and peripherals |
| Dropout Voltage | 375mV at IOUT = 1.5A - enables operation with only 5.375V input, ideal for post-regulation after 5.5V SMPS rails |
| Ground Current | 17mA typical at 1.5A load - minimizes wasted power in battery-backed or thermally constrained systems |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(HI) ≥ 2.25V, VEN(LO) ≤ 0.8V - compatible with standard 3.3V/5V GPIO without level-shifting |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 100°C/W (TO-252-5) - supports 1.5A continuous output with ≤25°C ambient rise on 1-in² 2-oz copper pad |
| PSRR | 65dB at 120Hz - suppresses ripple from upstream switching converters feeding sensitive analog circuitry |
| Output Noise | 200µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) - meets low-noise requirements for ADC references and audio DAC supplies |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-252-5 (DPAK-5), surface-mount, exposed thermal pad (internally connected to GND). Dimensions: 6.65 × 9.90 × 1.78 mm (L × W × H); thermal pad area supports efficient PCB heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | EN | TTL/CMOS-compatible enable input: logic high ≥2.25V enables regulation; open or low ≤0.8V places device in <130µA standby |
| 2 | VIN | Unregulated input terminal - accepts up to 13.5V DC; requires ≥10µF input capacitance for stability |
| 3 | GND | Power ground reference - internally bonded to exposed thermal tab; must be connected to large copper pour for thermal management |
| 4 | VOUT | Regulated 5.0V output - delivers up to 1.5A with <50mV load regulation across full current range |
| 5 | NC | No connection - electrically isolated; no internal bond wire or circuit connection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reversed-battery protection | Withstands –15V input without damage or reverse current flow - eliminates need for external series diode in automotive or hot-swap applications |
| Fast transient response | ≤100µs recovery time for 1.5A load step (10%–90%) - maintains <±50mV output deviation with 10µF output capacitor |
| Internal thermal shutdown | Activates at TJ ≥ +150°C with hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Low ground current in dropout | 5mA typical when VIN ≤ VOUT – 0.5V - extends usable input range and reduces quiescent loss during brown-out conditions |
| Short-circuit current limit | 2.8A typical - provides robust fault containment without external current-sense resistors or foldback circuitry |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP2112K-5.0TRG1 | 0.8A max output, 400mV dropout at 0.8A, no reverse-battery protection, θJA = 120°C/W | Suitable for lower-current logic rails but lacks fault protection and thermal margin for 1.5A continuous loads | Select if cost sensitivity outweighs current capability and protection requirements |
| MCP1703T-5002E/MB | 250mA max output, 600mV dropout at 250mA, ±2% accuracy, no EN pin, SOT-23-5 package | Targeted at ultra-low-power microcontroller I/O rails - insufficient for PC add-in card or display timing loads | Choose only for space-constrained, sub-300mA applications where enable control and high current are unnecessary |
Compared with AP2112K-5.0TRG1 and MCP1703T-5002E/MB, the AZ39151D5-5.0TRE1 uniquely combines 1.5A output, 375mV dropout, reverse-battery protection, and enable functionality in TO-252-5 - making it the only option among the three qualified for thermally demanding, high-reliability 5V system rails.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable 5.0V output at 1.5A?
The AZ39151D5-5.0TRE1 requires VIN ≥ 5.375V to maintain regulation at 1.5A load, based on its guaranteed 375mV dropout voltage. Operation below this threshold causes output collapse; the device remains functional down to VIN = VOUT(NOMINAL) – 0.5V but enters dropout with reduced ground current efficiency.
Can the NC pin (Pin 5) be connected to ground or left floating?
Pin 5 is electrically unconnected - no internal bond wire or circuit node exists. It may be left floating or tied to ground for mechanical stability or EMI reduction, but grounding provides no electrical benefit and does not affect thermal or electrical performance.
Does the AZ39151D5-5.0TRE1 require external capacitors, and what types are recommended?
Yes: ≥10µF input (CIN) and ≥10µF output (COUT) capacitors are mandatory for stability. Ceramic X5R/X7R types are recommended; aluminum polymer or tantalum may be used if ESR > 20mΩ is maintained. The device is not stable with <5µF total output capacitance.
How does the enable pin behave during power-up sequencing?
The EN pin has no internal pull-up or pull-down; it must be actively driven high (≥2.25V) to enable regulation. If left floating, leakage paths may cause unpredictable startup - Diodes recommends tying EN to VIN through a 100kΩ resistor or using a dedicated power-good signal for controlled sequencing.
