Product details
Overview
AP7311-30WG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 3.0V, 150mA low-dropout linear regulator in SOT25 package, featuring 65µA quiescent current, 150mV dropout at full load, and 65dB PSRR at 100Hz. It integrates enable control, thermal shutdown, current limiting, and short-circuit protection for battery-powered portable devices requiring stable, low-noise voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the AP7311-30WG-7 datasheet, AP7311-30WG-7 pinout, AP7311-30WG-7 application, or AP7311-30WG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include output accuracy (±2%), fast 80µs startup, stability with 1µF ceramic output capacitor, and operation across –40°C to +85°C ambient range.
Technical Context
The AP7311-30WG-7 implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier driving an NMOS pass transistor, with internal 0.4V reference and fixed 3.0V output set by laser-trimmed resistors. Its architecture enables fast transient response via high-gain feedback and low-output-impedance drive capability.
Enable logic operates with VIH ≥ 1.4V and VIL ≤ 0.4V, supporting direct microcontroller GPIO control. Protection circuitry includes foldback current limiting (200–300mA), short-circuit clamping (~50mA), and thermal shutdown at 140°C with 15°C hysteresis - all fully integrated without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0V ±2% over –40°C to +85°C; eliminates need for external resistor divider. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA continuous; sufficient for MCU cores, sensors, and RF front-ends in portable systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 65µA typical at full load; enables >1-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors. |
| Dropout Voltage | 150mV typical at 150mA; allows operation down to 3.15V input when regulating 3.0V output. |
| PSRR | 65dB at 100Hz; suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO. |
| Start-up Time | 80µs to full output; supports rapid wake-from-sleep in GSM/TDMA baseband power sequencing. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Triggers at 140°C junction temperature with 15°C hysteresis; prevents permanent damage during sustained overload. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin, 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm) surface-mount package with RoHS-compliant lead-free finish and "Green" molding compound (no Br/Sb). Thermal pad not present; θJA = 190°C/W on standard FR-4 PCB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2V–6V; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Common return path for input/output currents; must connect directly to low-impedance ground plane. |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic; ties to VIN for always-on operation or to MCU GPIO for dynamic power gating. |
| 4 - NC | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no external tie or pull-up/down. |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 3.0V ±2%; stable with 1µF–4.7µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitors (ESR 10–200mΩ). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 65µA at 150mA load enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in wearables and remote sensors. |
| Fast transient response | Stable under 0→150mA load steps with minimal undershoot/overshoot - critical for GSM/TDMA burst-mode power delivery. |
| Integrated protection suite | Current limit (200–300mA), short-circuit clamp (~50mA), and thermal shutdown (140°C) eliminate need for external fault management circuitry. |
| Small-footprint stability | Guaranteed stability with 1µF ceramic output capacitor reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. legacy LDOs requiring ≥10µF tantalum. |
| Wide input range | 2V–6V operation supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), two-cell alkaline (2–3.2V), and USB-powered (4.5–5.5V) systems. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | GSM Baseband Power |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-quiescent-current LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-3002E/TO | 250mA rating, 1.6µA IQ (lower), but 600mV dropout at 250mA; SOT23-5 package. | Lacks enable pin and short-circuit protection; unsuitable for dynamic power gating or fault-prone environments. | Select only if ultra-low IQ dominates and full protection is unnecessary. |
| Torex XC6206P302MR-G | 150mA, 1µF stability, but 12µA IQ and no enable pin; SOT23-5 package. | Fixed 3.0V output only; no EN control limits use in sleep/wake architectures. | Choose only for always-on, ultra-low-power applications where enable functionality is omitted. |
Compared with MCP1700-3002E/TO and XC6206P302MR-G, the AP7311-30WG-7 uniquely combines 65µA IQ, 150mV dropout, integrated EN control, and full protection suite in SOT25 - making it optimal for battery-constrained, dynamically powered portable systems requiring reliability and design simplicity.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required to maintain 3.0V output at 150mA load?
The AP7311-30WG-7 requires VIN ≥ 3.15V to sustain regulated 3.0V output at 150mA, based on its typical 150mV dropout voltage. At higher temperatures or worst-case process corners, dropout may reach 300mV, so VIN ≥ 3.3V is recommended for margin in production designs.
Can the EN pin be left unconnected, or must it be tied high?
The EN pin must not be left floating. For always-on operation, tie EN directly to IN. Leaving it open risks undefined logic state due to leakage paths, potentially causing erratic enable/disable behavior or increased shutdown current. A 100kΩ pull-up to IN is acceptable but not required if directly connected.
Is the AP7311-30WG-7 stable with a 2.2µF X5R ceramic capacitor?
Yes - the AP7311-30WG-7 is explicitly characterized for stability with 1µF to 4.7µF ceramic output capacitors having ESR between 10mΩ and 200mΩ. A 2.2µF X5R capacitor (typical ESR ~30mΩ) meets both capacitance and ESR specifications and improves load transient response versus the minimum 1µF value.
Does the device require a minimum load current to maintain regulation?
No - the AP7311-30WG-7 remains stable and regulated with zero load current. The datasheet confirms "no minimum load is required," and the internal reference and error amplifier are designed to operate correctly from 0mA to 150mA, enabling use in standby or deep-sleep modes without dummy loads.
