AP130-15RL-7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AP130-15RL-7 is a linear voltage regulator IC from Diodes Incorporated, classified as a Power Management (PMIC) component. This device delivers a fixed 1.5V output at 300mA with integrated protection features including over-current, over-temperature, and short-circuit protection. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for design continuity and procurement planning. Active alternatives with identical or superior electrical characteristics are available from the same manufacturer and qualified cross-vendors.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AP130-15RL-7 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Fixed output voltage of 1.5V
• Output current capability of 300mA minimum
• Maximum input voltage of 5.5V or greater
• Voltage dropout specification of 0.5V @ 300mA or lower
• Quiescent current of 100 µA or lower
• Protection features: Over-current, over-temperature, and short-circuit protection
• Operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C minimum

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Surface mount technology
• Package compatibility: TO-236-3, SC-59, or SOT-23-3

Compliance Criteria:

• ROHS3 compliance
• REACH unaffected status

Substitute parts are grouped into three categories: direct manufacturer equivalents (same manufacturer, same base part number, different packaging), parametric equivalents (same manufacturer, same base part number, different package type), and manufacturer-recommended cross-vendor alternatives (different manufacturer, superior or equivalent electrical performance).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Manufacturer Equivalents (Diodes Incorporated AP130 Series):

AP130-15RG-7, AP130-15SAG-7, and AP130-15WG-7 are all active products from Diodes Incorporated with identical electrical specifications to the obsolete AP130-15RL-7. These parts maintain the same base part number (AP130) and differ only in packaging configuration and supplier device package designation. All three are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Selection among these three should be based on packaging availability and tape & reel requirements for automated assembly.

Manufacturer-Recommended Cross-Vendor Alternative:

RT9198-15GV from Richtek USA Inc. is a qualified alternative that meets all electrical requirements with enhanced performance characteristics. This part offers superior voltage dropout (0.33V vs. 0.5V @ 300mA), extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C vs. -40°C to 85°C), and improved PSRR performance (60dB at 100Hz). The RT9198-15GV is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. This option is recommended for applications requiring extended temperature operation or lower dropout voltage performance.

All substitute parts are surface-mount devices in compatible package formats and maintain compliance with applicable environmental and regulatory standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AP130-15RG-7, AP130-15SAG-7, and AP130-15WG-7 be used interchangeably with AP130-15RL-7?

A: Yes, these three parts are electrically and functionally equivalent to the AP130-15RL-7. The differences are in packaging configuration and supplier device package designation. AP130-15RG-7 uses SC-59R packaging, AP130-15SAG-7 uses SOT-23-3 packaging, and AP130-15WG-7 uses SC-59-3 packaging. All three are active products suitable for direct replacement.

Q: What is the difference between AP130-15RL-7 and RT9198-15GV?

A: Both parts deliver 1.5V at 300mA and are pin-compatible in SOT-23-3 packages. The RT9198-15GV offers lower voltage dropout (0.33V vs. 0.5V), wider operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C vs. -40°C to 85°C), and higher PSRR performance. The RT9198-15GV includes an enable control feature not present in the AP130-15RL-7. The AP130-15RL-7 includes short-circuit protection, while the RT9198-15GV does not.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all substitute parts listed (AP130-15RG-7, AP130-15SAG-7, AP130-15WG-7, and RT9198-15GV) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Which substitute part should I select for new designs?

A: For new designs, select from the active Diodes Incorporated AP130 series (AP130-15RG-7, AP130-15SAG-7, or AP130-15WG-7) based on your packaging requirements. If extended temperature operation or lower dropout voltage is required, the RT9198-15GV from Richtek USA Inc. is the recommended alternative.

Q: Are there package compatibility considerations?

A: All substitute parts are surface-mount devices compatible with TO-236-3, SC-59, or SOT-23-3 footprints. Verify your PCB layout supports the specific package variant selected. AP130-15SAG-7 and RT9198-15GV are both available in SOT-23-3 packages for direct footprint compatibility.
