Product details
Overview
AP7315-23SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 2.3V fixed-output, 150mA low-dropout linear regulator featuring ±1% output voltage accuracy, 75dB PSRR at 1kHz, 60µVrms output noise (10Hz–100kHz), and 35µA quiescent current. It operates from 1.7V to 5.25V input, uses CMOS process technology, and integrates enable control for power sequencing in portable RF supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the AP7315-23SA-7 datasheet, AP7315-23SA-7 pinout, AP7315-23SA-7 application, or AP7315-23SA-7 equivalent, this LDO is selected for precision low-noise biasing of RF transceivers, camera sensor analog blocks, and portable media player core logic where stable 2.3V rail integrity under fast load transients is critical.
Technical Context
The AP7315-23SA-7 implements a CMOS-based error amplifier with internal voltage reference and current-limit protection, enabling precise regulation without external feedback components. Its architecture supports fast line/load transient response due to low output impedance and optimized internal compensation.
Enable functionality is implemented via a dedicated EN pin (Pin 3) with defined logic thresholds: high ≥1.3V enables regulation; low ≤0.5V forces shutdown with 0.01µA standby current. The device lacks auto-discharge (non-D variant), requiring external circuitry for VOUT discharge during disable.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.3V ±1% at +25°C; ensures stable bias for 2.3V-tolerant RF ICs and image sensors. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA guaranteed; supports moderate-power analog subsystems like camera ISP cores or Bluetooth baseband. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz; suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding shared input rails. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz); minimizes phase noise degradation in RF local oscillators and ADC reference paths. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA typical; extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and standby modes of portable devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.34V max at 150mA (for 2.3V output); enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) down to ~2.6V input. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.7V to 5.25V; compatible with wide-input PMIC outputs and multi-cell battery configurations. |
Pinout & Package
AP7315-23SA-7 is packaged in SOT23 (SA), a 3-pin surface-mount package with 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint and 0.95mm height. Thermal performance is enhanced by direct GND pad connection to PCB copper pour.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 3) | Power Input | Accepts 1.7–5.25V; requires 0.47µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to minimize input impedance and suppress supply glitches. |
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for load current and regulator internal circuits; must connect to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| VOUT (Pin 2) | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 2.3V ±1%; output capacitor (0.47µF ceramic) required for stability and transient response. |
| EN (Pin -) | Enable Control | Not present on SA package; device is permanently enabled - no external enable logic required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High PSRR | 75dB @ 1kHz enables clean power delivery in noisy mixed-signal environments (e.g., co-located Wi-Fi/BT radios). |
| Ultra-Low Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) preserves signal integrity in analog front-ends of cameras and audio codecs. |
| Tight Output Accuracy | ±1% over temperature ensures reliable operation of voltage-sensitive logic and RF bias circuits. |
| Low Quiescent Current | 35µA typical allows >1-year battery life in always-on IoT sensor applications with 200mAh coin cells. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-2302E/TO | 2.3V fixed, 250mA output, 6µA IQ, but only 60dB PSRR @ 1kHz and 120µVrms noise. | Limited in RF-sensitive designs due to lower PSRR/noise performance; suitable for non-critical digital I/O rails. | Select when ultra-low IQ dominates over noise/PSRR requirements, e.g., long-life remote sensors. |
| TPS7A0523PDBVR | 2.3V fixed, 200mA, 25µA IQ, 70dB PSRR @ 1kHz, 45µVrms noise, but requires minimum 1µF output capacitance. | Better noise than AP7315 but larger COUT requirement increases board area; no EN pin in SOT23 variant. | Prefer for battery-constrained apps needing lowest IQ; verify layout compatibility with 1µF ceramic placement constraints. |
Compared with MCP1700-2302E/TO and TPS7A0523PDBVR, the AP7315-23SA-7 delivers superior PSRR and balanced noise/IQ trade-off in the smallest SOT23 footprint, making it optimal for space-constrained RF and imaging subsystems where 2.3V rail purity is non-negotiable.

FAQ
Is AP7315-23SA-7 pin-compatible with other SOT23 LDOs?
No - AP7315-23SA-7 uses a non-standard SOT23 pinout: Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = VOUT, Pin 3 = VIN. Most competing SOT23 LDOs use Pin 1 = VIN, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = VOUT. PCB layout must follow Diodes' documented top-view assignment to avoid functional failure.
Does AP7315-23SA-7 include output discharge functionality?
No - the "SA" suffix denotes the non-discharge variant (AP7315, not AP7315D). When disabled, VOUT remains floating and does not actively discharge. External bleed resistors or MOSFETs are required if rapid VOUT decay is needed during shutdown.
What is the minimum recommended input capacitor for AP7315-23SA-7?
A 0.47µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of VIN and GND pins is mandatory per Diodes' design guidelines. Larger values (e.g., 1µF) improve transient response but do not replace the 0.47µF minimum for stability across temperature and process variation.
Can AP7315-23SA-7 operate with input voltage below 2.3V?
Yes - the device functions down to 1.7V input, but output regulation is only guaranteed when VIN ≥ VOUT + dropout voltage (≥2.64V for 150mA load). Below that, VOUT drops linearly with VIN; this behavior is leveraged in brown-out detection circuits.
