Product details
Overview
AP7312-1828FM-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual-channel, 150mA low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 1.8V and 2.8V outputs, ultra-low 60μA quiescent current, 150mV dropout at full load, and independent EN1/EN2 enable control. It operates from 2V–6V input and delivers stable power to baseband processors and RF sections in portable GSM devices.
For engineers reviewing the AP7312-1828FM-7 datasheet, AP7312-1828FM-7 pinout, AP7312-1828FM-7 application, or AP7312-1828FM-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail sequencing capability, fast 150μs startup, 65dB PSRR at 1kHz, stability with 1μF ceramic output capacitors, and thermal shutdown at 165°C.
Technical Context
The AP7312-1828FM-7 integrates two independent LDO channels sharing a common ground but featuring separate IN, EN1/EN2, and OUT1/OUT2 terminals. Each channel uses a PMOS pass element with bandgap reference and error amplifier for precision regulation.
Its functional block includes per-channel current limiting (200–300mA), short-circuit protection (60mA clamp), and thermal shutdown with 30°C hysteresis. The DFN2018-6 package provides 60°C/W θJA, enabling higher power dissipation than the SOT26 variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltages | 1.8V (OUT1) and 2.8V (OUT2), fixed, ±2% accuracy over –40°C to +85°C |
| Quiescent current | 60μA typical (both channels active), enables >1-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Dropout voltage | 150mV at 150mA (for VOUT ≥ 2.5V), supports 3.0V input to 2.8V rail with 100mV headroom |
| PSRR | 65dB at 1kHz, suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters |
| Start-up time | 150μs typical, meets GSM TDMA burst timing requirements for rapid wake-up |
| Thermal shutdown | Triggers at 165°C junction temperature with 30°C hysteresis, prevents permanent damage during overload |
| Input voltage range | 2V to 6V, compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V) and 3.3V/5V system rails |
Pinout & Package
AP7312-1828FM-7 is housed in a 2.0mm × 1.8mm × 0.6mm DFN2018-6 package with exposed thermal pad. Pin 4 is GND; pins 1 (IN), 2 (EN1), and 3 (EN2) are inputs; pins 5 (OUT2) and 6 (OUT1) are regulated outputs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Main power input | Accepts 2–6V; requires ≥1μF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| EN1 (Pin 2) | Channel 1 enable | Active-high logic; drives OUT1; VIH = 1.4V min ensures compatibility with 1.8V GPIO |
| EN2 (Pin 3) | Channel 2 enable | Active-high logic; drives OUT2; independent sequencing allows staggered power-up of core/peripheral rails |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal reference | Common return for both regulators; must connect to low-impedance ground plane under thermal pad |
| OUT2 (Pin 5) | 2.8V regulated output | Supplies RF transceiver or analog front-end; stable with 1μF ceramic capacitor (ESR ≥10mΩ) |
| OUT1 (Pin 6) | 1.8V regulated output | Supplies digital baseband or MCU core; exhibits <10mV undershoot during 100mA load step |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent enable control | EN1 and EN2 allow precise power sequencing-e.g., enable 1.8V core before 2.8V RF section to prevent latch-up |
| Fast transient response | Maintains <20mV output deviation during 10mA→100mA load steps at both outputs, critical for GSM burst-mode operation |
| Low-ESR capacitor support | Stable with 1μF ceramic output caps (≥10mΩ ESR), eliminating need for costly tantalum or polymer alternatives |
| Integrated protection suite | Combines current limit (300mA), short-circuit clamp (60mA), and thermal shutdown (165°C) without external components |
| Ultra-low IQ operation | 60μA total quiescent current extends shelf life in battery-backed IoT sensors and wearables |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7345D-1828FM-7 | Successor device with same pinout; 45μA IQ, improved PSRR (70dB @1kHz), lower dropout (120mV @150mA) | Direct drop-in replacement; recommended for new designs per Diodes' notice | Select when designing new products requiring extended battery life and tighter noise immunity |
| MCP1826S-1828KE/DB | Microchip dual LDO; 85μA IQ, 200mV dropout, no independent EN pins (single EN controls both channels) | Lacks per-rail enable control; unsuitable for sequenced power-up or dynamic rail gating | Choose only if board space permits larger SOT-23-6 package and independent enable is not required |
Compared with AP7312-1828FM-7, the AP7345D offers measurable gains in efficiency and noise rejection while maintaining pin compatibility, whereas the MCP1826S sacrifices sequencing flexibility for marginally higher output current (250mA/channel) and wider input range (2.3–16V).

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for AP7312-1828FM-7?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 6.5V, but the recommended operating range is 2V to 6V. Exceeding 6V risks permanent damage due to internal ESD structure limits. For long-term reliability at elevated temperatures, keep VIN ≤ 5.5V to maintain safe junction temperature margins within the DFN2018-6 package's 60°C/W thermal resistance.
Can AP7312-1828FM-7 operate with zero load current on either output?
Yes-the AP7312-1828FM-7 remains stable and regulated with no load on either channel. Its architecture requires no minimum load, unlike older LDOs that demand 1–5mA dummy loads. This feature reduces system-level standby power and eliminates need for external bleed resistors on unused rails.
How does the thermal shutdown behave during sustained overload?
When junction temperature reaches 165°C, the device disables both outputs and enters thermal shutdown. Output resumes automatically once junction cools to ≈135°C due to 30°C hysteresis. Under continuous overload, this causes on/off cycling-visible as periodic voltage collapse-which protects against irreversible die damage but indicates inadequate heatsinking or excessive power dissipation.
Is the DFN2018-6 package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes-AP7312-1828FM-7 uses a lead-free finish and complies with EU Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS). The molding compound is "Green" (halogen-free, no Br or Sb), and the device meets all applicable RoHS exemptions per Diodes' documentation. Full compliance data is available in the manufacturer's lead-free product summary.
