Product details
Overview
AP7311-WG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 150mA, fixed-output (1.8V), low-dropout linear regulator in SOT25 package with 65µA quiescent current, 150mV dropout at full load, and 65dB PSRR at 100Hz - designed for battery-powered portable devices requiring stable low-power voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the AP7311-WG-7 datasheet, AP7311-WG-7 pinout, AP7311-WG-7 application, or AP7311-WG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include fast 80µs startup, stability with 1µF ceramic output capacitor, EN-controlled on/off sequencing, and thermal shutdown at 140°C - critical for compact, thermally constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The AP7311-WG-7 implements a P-channel MOSFET pass element with internal 0.4V bandgap reference and error amplifier, enabling adjustable (via ADJ pin) or fixed-output configurations. Its architecture delivers fast transient response by optimizing loop gain and phase margin for 1µF–4.7µF ceramic capacitors.
EN pin logic-high activation (VIH ≥ 1.4V) enables precise power sequencing; built-in current limit (~300mA), short-circuit protection (~50mA), and thermal shutdown (140°C trip, 15°C hysteresis) operate independently of external components to ensure fault resilience without auxiliary circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 150mA maximum continuous - supports microcontrollers, sensors, and RF front-ends in portable designs |
| Quiescent Current | 65µA typical at full load - extends battery life in always-on or low-duty-cycle applications |
| Dropout Voltage | 150mV typical at 150mA - enables regulation from 2.0V input down to 1.8V output |
| PSRR | 65dB at 100Hz - suppresses low-frequency noise from switching power supplies or noisy rails |
| Start-up Time | 80µs - allows rapid wake-up from deep-sleep states in GSM/TDMA baseband circuits |
| Thermal Shutdown | 140°C junction temperature - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB heat sinking |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C ambient - qualified for industrial and consumer portable environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin, 1.6mm × 2.9mm × 1.1mm) surface-mount package with RoHS-compliant lead-free finish and "Green" molding compound (no Br/Sb).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2V–6V; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Common return path for IN, OUT, EN, and internal circuitry; must connect to low-impedance ground plane |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic interface (VIH ≥ 1.4V); ties to IN for always-on operation |
| 4 - NC | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - not for grounding or routing |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated output voltage | Delivers fixed 1.8V ±2% with ≤0.6% load regulation; stable with 1µF–4.7µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ across load range | 65µA typ. at 150mA - eliminates need for external disable during standby, simplifying power management |
| Fast transient response | Stable 0→150mA load step with minimal overshoot/undershoot - sustains DSP/GSM chipset voltage integrity during burst-mode operation |
| Single-capacitor stability | Guaranteed stable with 1µF ceramic output capacitor - reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. traditional LDOs requiring ≥10µF |
| Integrated protection suite | Current limit (300mA), short-circuit clamp (50mA), and thermal shutdown (140°C) - removes need for external fuses or thermal sensors |
| Wide input compatibility | 2V–6V input range - interfaces directly with Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), NiMH (2.4–3.6V), or dual-cell alkaline (2.0–3.2V) sources |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-1802E/TO | 250mA rating, 1.6µA IQ, SOT23-5 package, 600mV dropout at 250mA | Lower IQ but higher dropout limits use below 2.4V input; lacks EN pin | Select when ultra-low standby current outweighs need for enable control and wide VIN range |
| Torex XC6206P182MR-G | 150mA rating, 1µA IQ, SOT23-5, 350mV dropout at 150mA, no EN pin | Superior IQ but 2.3× higher dropout restricts operation above 2.15V input for 1.8V output | Select only for battery voltages ≥2.5V where dropout headroom is sufficient and enable functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with MCP1700-1802E/TO and XC6206P182MR-G, the AP7311-WG-7 uniquely balances 65µA IQ, 150mV dropout, and integrated EN control in SOT25 - making it optimal for 2V–6V input systems requiring dynamic power gating and robust thermal/current protection without external components.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP7311-WG-7 to regulate 1.8V output?
The AP7311-WG-7 maintains regulation down to 2.0V input due to its 150mV typical dropout voltage at 150mA. At light loads, dropout decreases further - enabling stable 1.8V output even with input as low as 1.95V, which extends usable capacity from single-cell Li-ion batteries.
Can AP7311-WG-7 operate without an external output capacitor?
No - the AP7311-WG-7 requires a minimum 1µF ceramic output capacitor (X5R/X7R, 10–200mΩ ESR) for stability and transient performance. Omitting it causes oscillation and voltage overshoot; larger values (up to 4.7µF) improve load-step response but are not mandatory for basic regulation.
Is the EN pin compatible with 1.8V logic controllers?
Yes - the EN pin has VIH = 1.4V minimum, making it directly compatible with 1.8V GPIO outputs. With IEN < ±1µA, it imposes negligible loading on the controller, and internal hysteresis ensures clean turn-on/turn-off without chatter near threshold voltages.
How does thermal shutdown behave under sustained overload?
When junction temperature reaches ~140°C, the AP7311-WG-7 disables the output and remains off until temperature drops to ~125°C (15°C hysteresis). Under continuous overload, this results in controlled on/off cycling - limiting average power dissipation and preventing permanent damage without external thermal management.
