Product details
Overview
AP7201-1011FMG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual-channel CMOS low-dropout linear regulator delivering 150mA per output with fixed 1.0V and 1.1V outputs, 100mV dropout at 100mA (3.3V output), 25µA typical quiescent current, and operation from 1.9V–5.5V input-used in Bluetooth headsets and digital still cameras for independent power rail regulation.
For engineers reviewing the AP7201-1011FMG-7 datasheet, AP7201-1011FMG-7 pinout, AP7201-1011FMG-7 application, or AP7201-1011FMG-7 equivalent, this device supports dual-rail low-power portable systems requiring independent enable control, fast transient response, high PSRR (78dB @ 1kHz), thermal shutdown, and compatibility with 0.22µF ceramic capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP7201 integrates two independent LDO regulators sharing a common input but featuring separate EN1/EN2 controls, error amplifiers, and pass elements-each with fold-back current limiting and thermal shutdown. Its CMOS architecture enables ultra-low IQ and stable operation with minimal external capacitance.
Each channel regulates its output voltage via internal precision reference and feedback loop; output voltages are factory-trimmed (1.0V and 1.1V for this variant) with ±2% accuracy over load, line, and temperature. The DFN2018-6 package includes an exposed thermal pad for junction-to-PCB heat conduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.9V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, Li-polymer, and multi-cell alkaline/NiMH battery inputs without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage (Ch1/Ch2) | 1.0V / 1.1V - factory-fixed, enabling direct powering of core logic (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0 cores) and I/O peripherals with matched rail sequencing. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA per channel - sufficient for RF transceivers, audio codecs, and sensor interfaces in compact portable devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV at 100mA (3.3V output); 170–220mV at 100mA (1.8V output) - ensures regulation down to near-battery-depletion voltage in energy-constrained systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 25µA typical - reduces standby power loss by >90% vs. legacy bipolar LDOs, extending battery life in always-on sensor nodes. |
| PSRR | 78dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input, critical for ADC reference and RF PLL supply rails. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Triggers at ~145°C with 15°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
AP7201-1011FMG-7 is housed in a 2.0mm × 1.8mm DFN2018-6 (USP-6B) package with wettable flank leads and an exposed thermal pad on the bottom surface. The package is RoHS-compliant, lead-free, and uses green molding compound (no Br/Sb).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (EN2) | Enable input 2 (active-high) | Controls Channel 2 output independently; logic high ≥1.6V enables regulation, low ≤0.25V disables output and reduces IQ to 1µA. |
| 2 (VIN) | Common input voltage supply | Accepts 1.9–5.5V; requires ≥0.22µF ceramic capacitor to GND placed adjacent to pin for stability and noise rejection. |
| 3 (EN1) | Enable input 1 (active-high) | Controls Channel 1 output independently; identical threshold specs to EN2, enabling staggered power-up or dynamic rail gating. |
| 4 (VSS/GND) | Ground reference and thermal path | Common return for both channels; connects to PCB ground plane via thermal pad for optimal heat dissipation (θJA = 70°C/W). |
| 5 (VOUT1) | Fixed 1.0V regulated output | Delivers up to 150mA; requires ≥0.22µF ceramic capacitor to GND for transient stability and PSRR optimization. |
| 6 (VOUT2) | Fixed 1.1V regulated output | Delivers up to 150mA; electrically isolated from VOUT1-supports independent load switching and fault containment. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent enable inputs | EN1 and EN2 allow per-channel power gating-enabling dynamic power management in multi-sleep-state systems without external MOSFETs. |
| Fold-back current limit | Clamps output current to ~300mA during overload, reducing power dissipation and preventing thermal runaway under short-circuit conditions. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 25µA typical across full input range-minimizes battery drain in always-on applications like GPS tracking or BLE beacon firmware. |
| High PSRR at 1kHz | 78dB attenuation of input ripple-preserves signal integrity for noise-sensitive analog blocks (e.g., audio DACs, RF synthesizers) powered from noisy DC-DC sources. |
| Stable with small ceramic caps | Guaranteed stability with ≥0.22µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors-reduces BOM cost and board area vs. larger tantalum or electrolytic alternatives. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS70245PWPR | 200mA per channel, 1.2V/1.5V fixed outputs, higher IQ (120µA), no independent EN pins | Requires external level-shifting for enable control; better suited for higher-current, less space-constrained designs | Select when higher output current and tighter initial accuracy (±1%) outweigh need for independent enable and ultra-low IQ. |
| MCP1826S-1002E/DB | Single-channel, 1.0V fixed, 300mA output, 65µA IQ, SOT-23-5 package | Requires two devices for dual-rail; lacks independent enable and thermal shutdown hysteresis | Choose only if board layout allows duplication and thermal management is externally handled. |
Compared with TPS70245PWPR and MCP1826S-1002E/DB, AP7201-1011FMG-7 uniquely delivers dual independent enables, 25µA IQ, and 1.0V/1.1V matching in a 2.0×1.8mm footprint-making it optimal for miniaturized, battery-sensitive dual-rail systems where per-channel control and minimal standby loss are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the minimum input capacitance required for stable operation?
The AP7201-1011FMG-7 requires a minimum 0.22µF ceramic capacitor between VIN and GND, placed as close as possible to the device. This value ensures stability across all operating conditions and suppresses high-frequency supply noise that could degrade PSRR performance.
Can both outputs be disabled simultaneously, and what is the shutdown current?
Yes-driving both EN1 and EN2 low disables both outputs, reducing total input current to 1µA maximum. This state maintains regulation readiness while minimizing battery drain in deep-sleep modes of portable devices such as Bluetooth trackers and wearables.
Is the thermal pad electrically connected, and how should it be routed on the PCB?
The exposed thermal pad on the DFN2018-6 package is internally connected to VSS (GND). It must be soldered to a solid copper ground plane using at least three thermal vias to an inner or bottom-layer ground plane to achieve the specified θJA = 70°C/W and prevent thermal shutdown under full load.
How does the current limit behave under short-circuit conditions?
Under short-circuit, the AP7201-1011FMG-7 activates fold-back current limiting, clamping output current to ~300mA initially, then further reducing it to ~40mA once VOUT drops below 200mV-protecting both the IC and PCB traces while allowing safe recovery after fault removal.
