AP130-15YL-13 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AP130-15YL-13 is a linear voltage regulator IC manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, designed to deliver a fixed positive output of 1.5V at 300mA in a surface-mount SOT-89-3 package. This device is classified as a Power Management (PMIC) component and is currently marked as obsolete. The part is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging with 4323 units available in stock.

Due to the obsolete product status of the AP130-15YL-13, identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability for production, maintenance, and repair applications. Substitute parts must maintain electrical equivalence across all critical parameters including output voltage, current capacity, dropout voltage, and thermal characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AP130-15YL-13 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Output Voltage: Fixed 1.5V output
• Output Current: 300mA capacity
• Maximum Input Voltage: 5.5V
• Dropout Voltage: 0.5V @ 300mA
• Quiescent Current: 100 µA
• PSRR Performance: 58dB (100Hz)
• Package Type: SOT-89-3 (TO-243AA)
• Protection Features: Over Current, Over Temperature, Short Circuit
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The AP130-15YG-13 qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format: the main part uses Cut Tape (CT) while the substitute uses Tape & Reel (TR). Both parts share the same base product number (AP130) and are manufactured by Diodes Incorporated.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AP130-15YG-13 is the direct substitute for the obsolete AP130-15YL-13. Both parts are manufactured by Diodes Incorporated and maintain complete electrical equivalence across all specified parameters.

Product Status Consideration: The AP130-15YL-13 is marked as obsolete, while the AP130-15YG-13 maintains active product status. This distinction makes the AP130-15YG-13 the preferred selection for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts carry identical regulatory certifications including ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring compatibility with current environmental and safety standards.

Packaging Consideration: The primary difference between these parts is the packaging format. The main part is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format, while the substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This distinction affects handling, storage, and automated assembly processes but does not impact electrical performance or functional compatibility.

Inventory Availability: Current stock levels show 4323 units of the obsolete AP130-15YL-13 and 2740 units of the active AP130-15YG-13. For long-term supply chain planning, the active part number should be prioritized.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AP130-15YG-13 be used as a direct replacement for the AP130-15YL-13?

A: Yes. The AP130-15YG-13 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the AP130-15YL-13 across all critical parameters including output voltage, current capacity, dropout voltage, quiescent current, PSRR, operating temperature range, and protection features. Both parts use the SOT-89-3 package.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape (CT) and Tape & Reel (TR) packaging?

A: Cut Tape packaging supplies components in individual strips cut to specific lengths, typically used for manual assembly or small-volume applications. Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous reels, optimized for high-volume automated assembly processes. The electrical and functional characteristics of the component remain identical regardless of packaging format.

Q: Why is the AP130-15YL-13 marked as obsolete?

A: The AP130-15YL-13 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The AP130-15YG-13 represents the active equivalent part number and should be used for new designs and ongoing production.

Q: Are there any thermal or performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical operating temperature ranges (-40°C ~ 85°C), quiescent current (100 µA), PSRR performance (58dB at 100Hz), and protection features (Over Current, Over Temperature, Short Circuit).

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the AP130-15YL-13 and AP130-15YG-13 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, ensuring compliance with current environmental and safety standards.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both parts use the TO-243AA package with SOT-89-3 pin configuration, allowing direct substitution on printed circuit boards without layout modifications.
