AP7387-36YR-13 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AP7387-36YR-13 is a Linear Voltage Regulator IC manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, classified as a Power Management (PMIC) component. This device delivers positive fixed output at 150mA with integrated current limiting, over-current, over-temperature, and short-circuit protection. The part is actively produced and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for applications requiring low-quiescent-current regulation in compact surface-mount packages. Substitute parts are identified when electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility remain constant across packaging variants.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AP7387-36YR-13 is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage regulation characteristics (input maximum, output fixed voltage, dropout voltage)
• Output current capacity (150mA)
• Quiescent current specification (4 µA)
• Protection and control feature set (current limit, over-current, over-temperature, short-circuit protection)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)
• Mounting type and base package family (Surface Mount, TO-243AA)

The AP7387-36Y-13 qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on identical electrical specifications and regulatory status. The distinction between these part numbers reflects packaging configuration variance within the same product family, not functional or electrical differences.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the AP7387-36YR-13 and AP7387-36Y-13 maintain identical electrical performance and regulatory compliance status. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging delivery format requirements. The AP7387-36YR-13 is supplied in Tape & Reel format with 2.5K unit quantity per reel, while the AP7387-36Y-13 is also supplied in Tape & Reel format with equivalent specifications. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, confirming suitability for regulated applications. Current inventory levels should be evaluated against procurement volume and lead-time requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if AP7387-36Y-13 can substitute for AP7387-36YR-13?

A: Substitution is valid when electrical specifications (voltage regulation, current output, quiescent current, protection features, operating temperature range) and regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH status) are identical. Both parts meet these criteria.

Q: Are there package compatibility differences between these parts?

A: Both parts use the TO-243AA package family in surface-mount configuration. The supplier device package designation differs (SOT-89R-3 versus SOT-89-3), reflecting internal packaging configuration. Physical footprint and PCB land pattern compatibility remain consistent.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in production?

A: Yes, provided that procurement and supply-chain processes accommodate the specific packaging format (Tape & Reel delivery) and quantity requirements of each part number. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the significance of the part number suffix difference?

A: The suffix variation (YR versus Y) indicates packaging configuration variance within the same product family. Electrical specifications and functional performance remain unchanged.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, confirming regulatory equivalence for applications subject to these standards.
