Product details
Overview
AP7201-1010FMG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual-channel CMOS low-dropout linear regulator delivering 150mA per output with fixed 1.0V outputs on both channels, operating from 1.9V–5.5V input, featuring 100mV dropout at 100mA, 25µA typical quiescent current, and thermal shutdown protection. It serves as a compact power management solution for space-constrained portable electronics requiring independent, logic-controlled voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the AP7201-1010FMG-7 datasheet, AP7201-1010FMG-7 pinout, AP7201-1010FMG-7 application, or AP7201-1010FMG-7 equivalent, this device is selected for dual-rail low-power biasing in battery-powered audio and RF subsystems where fast transient response, high PSRR (78dB @ 1kHz), and independent enable control are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
The AP7201-1010FMG-7 integrates two independent LDO regulators sharing a common input but with separate EN1/EN2 controls, error amplifiers, and pass transistors-enabling channel-specific power sequencing and standby modes. Each channel uses internal voltage reference and phase compensation optimized for stability with ≥0.22µF ceramic output capacitors.
Its fold-back current limiting (300mA) and short-circuit protection (40mA typical) operate independently per channel, while thermal shutdown triggers at 145°C with 15°C hysteresis. The DFN2018-6 package includes an exposed thermal pad for junction-to-PCB heat conduction, supporting θJA = 70°C/W under defined 2-layer FR-4 layout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.9V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, Li-poly, or 3.3V/5V system rails without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.0V per channel - precisely trimmed for core logic or low-voltage I/O supply in modern SoCs and microcontrollers. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA per channel - sufficient for powering multiple low-power peripherals (e.g., sensors, codecs, RF front-ends) simultaneously. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV at 100mA (3.3V output); 170–220mV at 100mA (1.8V output) - enables high efficiency near end-of-battery discharge. |
| Quiescent Current | 25µA typical per channel - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems like Bluetooth baseband or GPS receivers. |
| PSRR | 78dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters feeding shared input rails. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Triggers at 145°C with 15°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
AP7201-1010FMG-7 is housed in a 2.0mm × 1.8mm DFN2018-6 (USP-6B) package with wettable flank leads and RoHS-compliant green molding compound. The exposed thermal pad (Pin 4, VSS) must be soldered to a PCB copper pour for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (EN2) | Enable input 2 | Active-high logic control for Channel 2; pulls output to high-impedance when low, reducing quiescent current to 1µA. |
| 2 (VIN) | Input voltage supply | Common input rail for both regulators; requires ≥0.22µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 3 (EN1) | Enable input 1 | Active-high logic control for Channel 1; enables independent power gating of each 1.0V rail. |
| 4 (VSS) | Ground / Thermal pad | Primary return path and thermal conduction interface; must be connected to large PCB ground plane for θJA compliance. |
| 5 (VOUT1) | Output 1 | Regulated 1.0V supply for load; requires ≥0.22µF ceramic capacitor to ground for stability and transient response. |
| 6 (VOUT2) | Output 2 | Regulated 1.0V supply for second load; electrically isolated from VOUT1, enabling independent load transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent dual-channel enable control | EN1/EN2 allow staggered power-up/down sequencing and selective channel shutdown without affecting the other regulator. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 25µA typical per channel ensures >1-year battery life in coin-cell–powered devices with periodic wake-up cycles. |
| High PSRR at 1kHz | 78dB attenuation of ripple/noise from upstream DC-DC converters preserves signal integrity in analog/RF sections. |
| Stable with small ceramic capacitors | Guaranteed stability with ≥0.22µF X5R/X7R ceramics eliminates need for bulky tantalum or electrolytic capacitors. |
| Fold-back current limit | 300mA per channel limits power dissipation during overload, preventing thermal runaway before shutdown activates. |

|---|---|---|---|
| TPS70610QDSERQ1 | Single 1.0V output, 150mA, 17µA IQ, automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rated. | Lacks dual output; requires two devices for same functionality; higher cost per channel. | Select only if automotive qualification and lower IQ outweigh need for integration and board space savings. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input capacitance required for stable operation?
The AP7201-1010FMG-7 requires a minimum 0.22µF ceramic capacitor between VIN and VSS, placed as close as possible to pins 2 and 4. This value ensures input impedance stability and prevents oscillation under varying load conditions. Larger values (e.g., 1µF) further improve line transient suppression but are not mandatory for basic functionality.
Can both outputs be disabled simultaneously, and what is the resulting current draw?
Yes-driving both EN1 and EN2 low disables both 1.0V outputs, reducing total input current to ≤1µA (typical shutdown current). This state maintains regulation readiness while minimizing battery drain in fully idle modes, such as GPS cold-start standby or headset off-state.
Is the thermal pad (Pin 4) required to be connected to ground?
No-the exposed thermal pad (VSS) may be left floating electrically, but it must be soldered to a PCB copper pour for thermal conduction. While grounding improves EMI performance, the primary requirement is mechanical attachment to a thermally conductive plane to maintain θJA ≤70°C/W and prevent thermal shutdown under 150mA load.
How does the AP7201-1010FMG-7 handle output short-circuit events?
When either VOUT pin is shorted to VSS, the device activates short-circuit protection, clamping output current to ~40mA (typical) and maintaining safe junction temperature. Unlike fold-back limiting, this mode remains active until the fault clears, preventing damage during sustained shorts without cycling thermal shutdown.
