Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PAM3110ABA150R is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Fixed output voltage of 1.5V
• Output current capability of 1.5A minimum
• Maximum input voltage of 5.5V or greater
• SOT-223-3 package compatibility
• Operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C
• Positive fixed output configuration
• Surface mount mounting type

The AP7363-15E-13 meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct functional equivalent. Both devices share identical output specifications, package geometry, and thermal operating range, enabling pin-compatible substitution in existing designs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AP7363-15E-13 is the recommended substitute for the PAM3110ABA150R based on the following factors:

• Both parts are manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, ensuring consistent design philosophy and reliability standards
• Identical electrical output specifications (1.5V, 1.5A) enable direct functional replacement
• Pin-compatible SOT-223-3 packaging allows board-level substitution without layout modifications
• The AP7363-15E-13 maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability
• Both devices meet ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements
• The substitute part offers improved protection features with over current detection in addition to over temperature protection

For new designs, the AP7363-15E-13 is the preferred selection due to its active product status and enhanced feature set.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AP7363-15E-13 be used as a direct replacement for the PAM3110ABA150R?

A: Yes. Both devices are pin-compatible in SOT-223-3 packaging and deliver identical output specifications of 1.5V at 1.5A. No circuit modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and quiescent current. The PAM3110ABA150R is not for new designs with 150 µA quiescent current, while the AP7363-15E-13 is an active product with 1.2 mA quiescent current. The AP7363-15E-13 also includes over current protection and provides specified dropout voltage of 0.24V at 1.5A.

Q: Are there any thermal or operating range limitations when substituting?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and are rated for the same maximum input voltage of 5.5V.

Q: Does the packaging differ between these parts?

A: Both parts use SOT-223-3 surface mount packaging. The PAM3110ABA150R is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while the AP7363-15E-13 is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel formats. The physical package dimensions and pin configuration are identical.

Q: Are both parts compliant with environmental and regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the PAM3110ABA150R and AP7363-15E-13 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8542.39.0001.
