Product details
Overview
AP7315-11SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 150mA, 1.1V fixed-output low-dropout linear regulator with ±1% output voltage accuracy, 75dB PSRR at 1kHz, 60µVrms output noise (10Hz–100kHz), and 35µA quiescent current - designed for RF supply rails in compact portable devices using the SOT23-3 package.
For engineers reviewing the AP7315-11SA-7 datasheet, AP7315-11SA-7 pinout, AP7315-11SA-7 application, or AP7315-11SA-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal layout guidance, enable control thresholds, dropout behavior across temperature, and real-world use cases in battery-powered RF subsystems.
Technical Context
The AP7315-11SA-7 integrates a CMOS-based error amplifier, precision voltage reference, current-limit circuit, and active-high enable input - enabling fast load transient response (<100µs settling) and stable regulation down to 1.7V input while maintaining 1.1V output under 150mA load. Its non-discharge architecture avoids output discharge during shutdown.
Designed for low-noise analog and RF power domains, it achieves 75dB ripple rejection at 1kHz and 60µVrms integrated noise without requiring external bypass capacitors beyond the recommended 0.47µF ceramic CIN/COUT, and operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient with ±30ppm/°C output voltage drift.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.1V ±1% at 25°C - ensures stable bias for low-voltage RF ICs and baseband processors without external feedback network. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA continuous - sufficient for powering single-band RF transceivers, camera sensor I/O, or PMIC LDO pre-regulators. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from DC-DC converters feeding adjacent digital blocks. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - meets stringent noise floor requirements for RF front-end VCOs and ADC reference supplies. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA typical - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and standby-mode wireless peripherals. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.50V max at 150mA (for 1.1V output) - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) or 2xAA alkaline (2.4V min) with margin. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(H) ≥1.3V, VEN(L) ≤0.5V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting; prevents false turn-on from leakage. |
Pinout & Package
AP7315-11SA-7 uses the SOT23-3 (SA) package: 1.45mm × 1.3mm footprint, 0.95mm height, thermally enhanced leadframe with exposed pad not connected internally. PCB layout requires direct GND connection to the die pad via multiple vias for optimal thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Input power supply | Accepts 1.7V–5.25V; requires 0.47µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of pin to suppress high-frequency noise and prevent instability. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground reference | Must connect to low-impedance system ground plane; serves as return path for both input and output currents and enables accurate error amplifier operation. |
| VOUT (Pin 3) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.1V ±1% to load; output capacitor must be placed adjacent to this pin and GND to minimize loop inductance and improve transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low noise output | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - eliminates need for post-LDO ferrite beads or RC filters in sensitive RF supply chains. |
| High PSRR at audio frequencies | 75dB @ 1kHz - rejects noise from buck converter switching edges and digital clock harmonics coupling through shared input rails. |
| Low quiescent current | 35µA typical - reduces no-load power loss by >50% vs. legacy 100µA LDOs, critical for multi-week battery life in IoT endpoints. |
| Precision output accuracy | ±1% over temperature and line/load - eliminates calibration overhead in factory programming of RF power amplifiers and sensor signal chains. |
| Wide input voltage range | 1.7V–5.25V - supports direct connection to Li-ion, Li-Po, or 3.3V system rails without intermediate pre-regulation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1102E/TT | 100mA max output, 6µA IQ, 1.1V fixed, SOT23-3 - lower current rating and higher PSRR (80dB @1kHz) but no enable pin. | Lacks EN control; unsuitable for dynamic power gating in multi-sleep-state systems. | Select when ultra-low IQ dominates over enable functionality and load current stays below 100mA. |
| Torex XC6206P112MR-G | 150mA, 1.1V ±2%, 45µA IQ, SOT23-3 - looser accuracy, higher noise (80µVrms), no enable, but AEC-Q200 qualified. | Targeted at automotive infotainment displays where qualification outweighs noise/accuracy trade-offs. | Choose only for automotive-grade designs requiring PPAP support and extended temperature validation. |
Compared with MCP1700T-1102E/TT and XC6206P112MR-G, AP7315-11SA-7 uniquely balances 150mA drive capability, ±1% accuracy, 60µVrms noise, and active-high enable - making it optimal for consumer RF and imaging applications demanding both precision and controllability.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP7315-11SA-7 to maintain regulation at full 150mA load?
The minimum input voltage is determined by dropout: at 150mA, max dropout is 0.64V (per datasheet Table 1). With 1.1V nominal output, VIN must be ≥1.74V to sustain regulation. The absolute minimum specified VIN is 1.7V - meaning operation at full load begins just above that threshold, with marginal headroom.
Can AP7315-11SA-7 be used without connecting the EN pin?
Yes - if enable control is unused, the EN pin must be tied directly to VIN to ensure permanent activation. Leaving EN floating is prohibited per datasheet; it may cause erratic startup, oscillation, or undefined output state due to internal gate threshold sensitivity.
Does AP7315-11SA-7 include short-circuit protection, and what is its trip current?
Yes - it features fold-back current limiting. When VOUT is shorted to GND, output current is clamped to approximately 55mA (typical), preventing thermal runaway. This protects the device during board-level faults and allows safe recovery once the short is removed.
Is the SOT23-3 package of AP7315-11SA-7 thermally adequate for 150mA continuous operation at 85°C ambient?
Yes - with proper PCB layout: a 1-in² copper pour connected to the GND pin and thermal pad via ≥4 thermal vias reduces θJA to ~160°C/W. At 150mA and 1.7V input (0.6V dropout), power dissipation is 90mW, resulting in ~14°C junction rise - well within the 125°C max TJ limit.
