AP130-18YL-13 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AP130-18YL-13 is a linear voltage regulator IC from Diodes Incorporated designed for positive fixed 1.8V output applications with 300mA current capacity in SOT-89-3 surface mount packaging. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The AP130 series provides regulated 1.8V output with integrated protection features including over-current, over-temperature, and short-circuit protection, suitable for low-power digital and analog circuit applications requiring stable voltage regulation.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AP130-18YL-13 are qualified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the AP130 series. The substitution criteria are:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Output voltage: 1.8V fixed
• Output current capacity: 300mA
• Input voltage maximum: 5.5V
• Voltage dropout: 0.5V @ 300mA
• Protection features: Over Current, Over Temperature, Short Circuit
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Package / Case: TO-243AA
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• RoHS3 compliance

Substitution Categories:

1. Direct Manufacturer Equivalent (AP130-18YG-13): Identical electrical specifications and TO-243AA package. Differs only in packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. bulk) and product status (Active vs. Obsolete). Supplier device package remains SOT-89-3.

2. Parametric Equivalent (AP130-18YRG-13): Identical electrical specifications and TO-243AA package. Supplier device package is SOT-89R-3 (tape reel variant). Product status is Active. All electrical parameters and protection features match the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AP130-18YG-13 is the primary substitute for AP130-18YL-13. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, protection features, and package geometry (TO-243AA). The AP130-18YG-13 is currently in Active product status with higher inventory availability (12,900 units), providing superior long-term procurement reliability compared to the obsolete AP130-18YL-13. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings.

AP130-18YRG-13 is a secondary parametric equivalent offering identical electrical performance and compliance certifications. The distinction lies in the supplier device package designation (SOT-89R-3 vs. SOT-89-3), which reflects tape reel packaging configuration. The AP130-18YRG-13 maintains Active product status with adequate inventory (7,900 units). Selection between AP130-18YG-13 and AP130-18YRG-13 depends on procurement packaging requirements and supplier availability.

Both substitute parts are suitable for direct replacement in applications currently using AP130-18YL-13, with no circuit modifications required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AP130-18YG-13 and AP130-18YRG-13 be used interchangeably with AP130-18YL-13?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical specifications including 1.8V output voltage, 300mA output current, 0.5V maximum dropout voltage, and protection features. The TO-243AA package geometry is identical across all variants, enabling direct PCB-level substitution without layout modifications.

Q: What is the difference between SOT-89-3 and SOT-89R-3 package designations?

A: Both designations refer to the same physical TO-243AA package footprint. The "R" suffix in SOT-89R-3 indicates tape reel packaging format for automated assembly. The electrical performance and pin configuration are identical.

Q: Why is AP130-18YL-13 marked as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturer discontinuation decisions. AP130-18YG-13 and AP130-18YRG-13 remain in Active status, providing continued design support and procurement availability for the 1.8V/300mA regulator function within the AP130 series.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between the three parts?

A: No. All three parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings. ECCN and HTSUS classifications are identical.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: AP130-18YG-13 is recommended for new designs due to Active product status and higher inventory availability. AP130-18YRG-13 is an equivalent alternative if tape reel packaging is preferred for high-volume automated assembly.

Q: Do the substitute parts require different PCB footprints?

A: No. All three parts use the TO-243AA package with identical pin configuration and footprint geometry. No PCB redesign is necessary when substituting between AP130-18YL-13, AP130-18YG-13, and AP130-18YRG-13.
