Product details
Overview
AP7312-1533FM-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual-channel, fixed-output low-dropout linear regulator delivering 150mA per channel with independent enable control (EN1/EN2), 1.5V and 3.3V outputs, 60μA typical quiescent current, and 150mV dropout at full load - designed for power rail separation in portable baseband and RF subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the AP7312-1533FM-7 datasheet, AP7312-1533FM-7 pinout, AP7312-1533FM-7 application, or AP7312-1533FM-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (DFN2018-6), validated dual-LDO transient response specs, confirmed thermal shutdown threshold (165°C), and real-world selection guidance against newer alternatives.
Technical Context
The AP7312 integrates two independent LDO regulators sharing input and ground but featuring separate EN pins and output paths. Each channel uses a PMOS pass element with bandgap reference, error amplifier, and current-limit circuitry - enabling fast start-up (150μs) and stable operation with only 1μF ceramic output capacitors.
Its architecture supports simultaneous or staggered channel activation, with PSRR of 65dB at 1kHz and excellent load transient response (<20mV deviation during 10mA→100mA step). Protection includes thermal shutdown (165°C trip, 30°C hysteresis), short-circuit limiting (~60mA), and overcurrent clamping (~300mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.5V (Channel 1) and 3.3V (Channel 2) - fixed, non-adjustable; enables clean separation of core logic and I/O rails. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA per channel - sufficient for powering low-power DSP cores, Bluetooth radios, or sensor interfaces without external boost. |
| Quiescent Current | 60μA (both channels active) - minimizes standby power loss in battery-operated devices like wearables and IoT sensors. |
| Dropout Voltage | 150mV at 150mA (for VOUT ≥2.5V) - allows regulation from 3.45V input to 3.3V rail, extending usable battery voltage range. |
| PSRR | 65dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters, critical for analog/RF section stability. |
| Start-up Time | 150μs - enables rapid wake-up from deep-sleep modes in GSM/TDMA systems with strict timing windows. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C junction temperature - protects against sustained overload in compact DFN2018-6 packages with 60°C/W θJA. |
Pinout & Package
AP7312-1533FM-7 is packaged in a 6-pin DFN2018-6 (2.0mm × 1.8mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. Pin 4 is GND; Pin 1 is IN; Pins 2 and 3 are EN1 and EN2; Pins 5 and 6 are OUT1 (1.5V) and OUT2 (3.3V).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Main power input | Accepts 2V–6V; requires ≥1μF ceramic decoupling close to pin to suppress supply noise and ensure stability. |
| EN1 (Pin 2) | Enable for Channel 1 | Active-high logic input; must exceed 1.4V to activate 1.5V output; ties to IN if always-on operation required. |
| EN2 (Pin 3) | Enable for Channel 2 | Independent active-high control for 3.3V rail; enables dynamic power gating of peripherals without affecting core logic. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Common ground reference | Shared return path for both regulators; must connect directly to low-impedance PCB ground plane under thermal pad. |
| OUT1 (Pin 5) | 1.5V regulated output | Supplies low-voltage digital cores; stable with 1μF ceramic capacitor; load transient response <20mV overshoot/undershoot. |
| OUT2 (Pin 6) | 3.3V regulated output | Powers I/O, USB PHY, or RF front-end; same stability and transient performance as OUT1; independent from OUT1 regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent enable control | EN1/EN2 allow sequenced or isolated power-up/down of 1.5V and 3.3V domains - essential for low-power state management in mobile SoCs. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 60μA total (both channels) - reduces battery drain in always-on sensor nodes where sleep current dominates lifetime. |
| Fast transient response | Stable under 100mA load steps with <20mV deviation - meets GSM baseband burst-current demands without external compensation. |
| Low-ESR capacitor compatibility | Stable with 1μF ceramic output caps (ESR ≥10mΩ) - eliminates need for bulky tantalum or aluminum electrolytics in space-constrained designs. |
| Integrated protection suite | Current limit (~300mA), short-circuit clamp (~60mA), and thermal shutdown (165°C) - prevents field failures without external circuitry. |
Applications
| Cellular Baseband Power | Bluetooth Audio Subsystem |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7345D-1533FM-7 | Successor device with lower IQ (35μA), improved PSRR (70dB @1kHz), and enhanced thermal performance (θJA = 55°C/W). | Same pinout and footprint; supports identical 1.5V/3.3V configuration; optimized for next-gen battery life-critical designs. | Select for new designs requiring longer runtime or tighter noise immunity; drop-in replacement with no layout change. |
| MCP1826S-1503302E/DB | Microchip dual LDO with 250mA per channel, higher dropout (250mV), and no independent EN pins (single EN controls both rails). | Lacks per-rail enable control; better suited for simpler systems where synchronized on/off suffices. | Choose when higher current headroom is needed and rail sequencing is not required; verify thermal margin due to higher dropout. |
Compared with AP7312-1533FM-7, AP7345D offers measurable runtime gains in battery-powered use cases through halved quiescent current and tighter regulation, while MCP1826S trades sequencing flexibility for higher current capacity - making each alternative optimal only under specific system-level constraints.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for AP7312-1533FM-7?
A minimum 1μF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed between IN and GND is required for stability and noise suppression. The datasheet confirms that larger values improve line transient response without compromising stability. Layout best practice mandates placing this capacitor within 2mm of the IN and GND pins using wide copper traces to minimize inductance and ensure reliable operation under fast load steps.
Can AP7312-1533FM-7 operate with a 1.8V input supplying the 1.5V output?
No. The absolute minimum input voltage is 2.0V per the Recommended Operating Conditions table. At 1.5V output, the 150mV dropout specification requires ≥1.65V input, but the device's internal circuitry (bandgap, error amplifier) mandates ≥2.0V to function correctly. Attempting 1.8V input risks regulation failure, especially across temperature or load variations.
Is the DFN2018-6 package of AP7312-1533FM-7 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes. The part is explicitly stated as "Lead Free Finish/RoHS Compliant" in the Features section, meeting EU Directive 2002/95/EC with all applicable exemptions applied. The DFN2018-6 package uses green molding compound (no Br or Sb) and conforms to JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1, verified per Diodes' official documentation.
Why does the datasheet state "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS"?
Diodes has designated AP7312 as legacy due to the introduction of the AP7345D - a pin-compatible successor offering lower quiescent current (35μA vs. 60μA), improved PSRR (70dB vs. 65dB), and enhanced thermal resistance (55°C/W vs. 60°C/W). While AP7312-1533FM-7 remains fully supported and available, new designs should adopt AP7345D for superior efficiency and longevity.
