Product details
Overview
AP7312-1830FM-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual-channel, 150mA low-dropout linear regulator with independent enable inputs (EN1/EN2), fixed 1.8V and 3.0V outputs, 60μA quiescent current, and 150mV dropout at full load. It operates across 2V–6V input and supports fast transient response in portable power rails for baseband and RF subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the AP7312-1830FM-7 datasheet, AP7312-1830FM-7 pinout, AP7312-1830FM-7 application, or AP7312-1830FM-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail sequencing capability, ultra-low IQ for battery runtime extension, thermal shutdown threshold at 165°C, PSRR of 65dB at 1kHz, and compatibility with 1μF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP7312 integrates two independent LDO channels sharing a common ground but featuring separate IN, EN, and OUT pins-enabling asynchronous power-up/down control. Each channel uses a P-MOS pass transistor with internal bandgap reference, error amplifier, and current-limit circuitry.
Its fast transient response (≤150μs start-up, <20mV undershoot/overshoot under 100mA load step) stems from optimized internal compensation and low-output-impedance design. Thermal shutdown activates at 165°C with 30°C hysteresis, and short-circuit protection limits output to 60mA during fault conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.8V (OUT1) and 3.0V (OUT2); fixed, non-adjustable, enabling direct supply to core logic and I/O rails |
| Max Output Current | 150mA per channel; sufficient for powering DSP cores, Bluetooth radios, and sensor interfaces without external boost |
| Quiescent Current | 60μA (both channels active); minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or wake-on-RF circuits |
| Dropout Voltage | 150mV at 150mA (for VOUT ≥2.5V); allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) while maintaining regulation at 3.0V output |
| PSRR | 65dB at 1kHz; suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters feeding shared input rail |
| Start-up Time | 150μs (EN-to-VOUT); enables rapid power cycling in TDMA-based GSM burst modes without voltage droop |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C ambient; validated for consumer handheld and automotive infotainment cabin applications |
Pinout & Package
AP7312-1830FM-7 is packaged in the DFN2018-6 (2.0mm × 1.8mm, 0.5mm pitch) thermally enhanced lead-free package with exposed thermal pad. This 6-pin surface-mount package supports high-density PCB layouts and improved thermal dissipation (θJA = 60°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Main power input | Accepts 2V–6V; requires ≥1μF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability and noise rejection |
| EN1 (Pin 2) | Channel 1 enable control | Active-high logic input; drives OUT1 only; VIH = 1.4V min ensures compatibility with 1.8V GPIO |
| EN2 (Pin 3) | Channel 2 enable control | Independent active-high logic input for OUT2; allows staggered power sequencing between 1.8V and 3.0V domains |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal reference | Common ground return for both regulators; must be connected to low-impedance PCB plane for EMI suppression |
| OUT1 (Pin 6) | 1.8V regulated output | Delivers up to 150mA at 1.8V ±2%; requires local 1μF ceramic capacitor to GND for transient stability |
| OUT2 (Pin 5) | 3.0V regulated output | Delivers up to 150mA at 3.0V ±2%; decoupled separately from OUT1 to prevent cross-rail coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent enable inputs | EN1/EN2 allow precise sequencing of 1.8V and 3.0V rails-critical for FPGA I/O bank power-up order compliance |
| Stable with 1μF ceramic output caps | Eliminates need for larger, higher-ESR tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors-reducing board area and cost |
| Fast load transient response | Under 20mV deviation during 100mA load step (10–90% rise time ≤2μs); maintains clean supply for high-speed ADCs and RF synthesizers |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at 165°C and re-enables at 135°C; prevents latch-up during sustained overload while allowing safe recovery |
| Low ESD sensitivity | 8kV HBM rating enables robust handling in automated SMT lines and field-replaceable modules without special ESD controls |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for AP7312-1830FM-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 junction breakdown. At VIN = 6V, dropout remains within specification for both 1.8V and 3.0V outputs, enabling use with 5V USB-supplied systems or boosted battery rails.
Can AP7312-1830FM-7 operate without output capacitors?
No. The device requires ≥1μF ceramic output capacitors on both OUT1 and OUT2 for stability and transient performance. Omitting them causes oscillation or excessive voltage overshoot during load steps. The datasheet confirms stability only with 1μF/≥10mΩ ESR ceramics, and recommends placing them within 2mm of respective OUT and GND pins.
Does AP7312-1830FM-7 support power sequencing between its two outputs?
Yes. Independent EN1 and EN2 pins allow precise control over turn-on/turn-off timing of each output. For example, asserting EN1 before EN2 powers the 1.8V domain first-essential for processors requiring core voltage before I/O voltage. Delay can be implemented via RC networks or MCU GPIO timing.
Is AP7312-1830FM-7 RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes. It uses "Green" molding compound (no bromine or antimony) and features lead-free finish compliant with EU Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS). The DFN2018-6 package meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and is qualified for reflow soldering per JEDEC standards.
