Product details
Overview
AP7315-12W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 150mA low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 1.2V output, ±1% accuracy, 75dB PSRR at 1kHz, 60µVrms output noise (10Hz–100kHz), and 35µA quiescent current. It features enable control, operates from 1.7V to 5.25V input, and is optimized for RF supply rails in portable wireless communication devices.
For engineers reviewing the AP7315-12W5-7 datasheet, AP7315-12W5-7 pinout, AP7315-12W5-7 application, or AP7315-12W5-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 150mA (0.50V typ for 1.2V VOUT), EN logic thresholds (0.5V max low, 1.3V min high), thermal performance in SOT25, and compatibility with 0.47µF ceramic input/output capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP7315-12W5-7 implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with integrated voltage reference, error amplifier, and current-limit protection. Its non-discharge configuration maintains output isolation during shutdown, avoiding unintended discharge of downstream capacitance.
It delivers stable 1.2V regulation across –40°C to +85°C ambient, with line regulation of 0.02%/V and load regulation of 0.5%/A. The device achieves 75dB ripple rejection at 1kHz while sustaining full 150mA output under worst-case dropout conditions (VIN ≥ 1.7V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2V ±1% - ensures precise biasing for low-voltage RF ICs and baseband processors |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - supports moderate-power RF modules and sensor interfaces without thermal derating in SOT25 |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.7V to 5.25V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, Li-poly, and 3.3V/5V system rails |
| PSRR @ 1kHz | 75dB - suppresses switching noise from DC-DC converters feeding adjacent analog circuitry |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - minimizes phase noise impact on VCOs and RF receivers |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA typ - enables ultra-low-power standby modes in battery-operated handheld equipment |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.50V typ @ 150mA - allows operation down to VIN = 1.7V while maintaining regulated 1.2V output |
Pinout & Package
The AP7315-12W5-7 is housed in a RoHS-compliant SOT25 (5-pin) package with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 = VIN, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = EN, Pin 4 = NC (not connected), Pin 5 = VOUT. The NC pin must be tied to GND for optimal thermal dissipation and EMI suppression.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Power input | Accepts 1.7–5.25V; requires 0.47µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to minimize input impedance |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Primary return path for load current and internal bias; connects to PCB ground plane for stability |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control | Active-high logic: >1.3V enables regulation; <0.5V disables output and reduces IQ to 0.01µA |
| NC (Pin 4) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; recommended to tie to GND to maximize copper area for thermal conduction |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.2V ±1% to load; requires 0.47µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of pin for transient response |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz - rejects noise from shared power rails in dense RF front-end layouts |
| Ultra-low noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - preserves signal integrity in sensitive analog/RF blocks |
| Low quiescent current | 35µA - extends battery life in always-on wireless adapters and IoT sensors |
| Precision output accuracy | ±1% over temperature - eliminates need for external trimming in production calibration |
| Thermal-enhanced SOT25 | Exposed thermal pad - enables 400mW power dissipation with proper PCB copper area (GND-connected) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1202E/TT | 100mA max output, 6µA IQ, no enable pin, SOT23-3 package | Lacks EN control and thermal pad; unsuitable for 150mA RF loads or fast enable sequencing | Select only for space-constrained, ultra-low-IQ applications below 100mA with no enable requirement |
| Torex XC6219B122MR-G | 150mA, 1.2V, 25µA IQ, SOT25, but only 60dB PSRR @ 1kHz and 120µVrms noise | Higher output noise degrades RF receiver sensitivity; lower PSRR increases susceptibility to DC-DC coupling | Acceptable only if system-level noise budget permits 2× higher output noise and 15dB lower PSRR |
Compared with MCP1700T-1202E/TT and XC6219B122MR-G, the AP7315-12W5-7 uniquely balances 150mA capability, 75dB PSRR, 60µVrms noise, and active enable control in a thermally robust SOT25 - making it the only option meeting stringent RF supply requirements in compact wireless designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP7315-12W5-7 to regulate 1.2V at 150mA?
The AP7315-12W5-7 requires a minimum input voltage of 1.7V to sustain 150mA output at 1.2V. At this condition, the typical dropout voltage is 0.50V, meaning VIN must be ≥1.7V to maintain regulation. Below 1.7V, output voltage drops proportionally per the dropout curve in the datasheet.
Can the NC pin (Pin 4) be left floating in the SOT25 package?
No - Pin 4 is internally not connected but must be tied to GND on the PCB. This maximizes copper area for thermal conduction from the exposed thermal pad and reduces EMI susceptibility. Leaving it floating degrades thermal performance and may increase radiated emissions in RF-dense layouts.
Does AP7315-12W5-7 include short-circuit protection?
Yes - the device incorporates fold-back current limiting that clamps output current to approximately 55mA when VOUT is shorted to GND. This protects the regulator from thermal damage during fault conditions and is specified across –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature.
Is AP7315-12W5-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No - AP7315-12W5-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., AP7315Q series) with PPAP capability and IATF 16949 manufacturing, but this specific part number is intended for commercial portable electronics and industrial applications only.
