Product details
Overview
AP7315-25FS4-7B from Diodes Incorporated is a 2.5V fixed-output, 150mA low-dropout linear regulator with ±1% output voltage accuracy, 75dB PSRR at 1kHz, 60µVrms output noise (10Hz–100kHz), and 35µA quiescent current. It features enable control, thermal shutdown, and short-circuit protection, and is optimized for RF supply rails in compact portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the AP7315-25FS4-7B datasheet, AP7315-25FS4-7B pinout, AP7315-25FS4-7B application, or AP7315-25FS4-7B equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package-specific pin mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for low-noise, high-PSRR LDO selection in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The AP7315-25FS4-7B uses a CMOS-based architecture with integrated voltage reference, error amplifier, and current-limit circuitry. Its non-discharge configuration maintains output voltage during shutdown, avoiding unintended discharge of downstream capacitance.
It operates across 1.7V to 5.25V input range and delivers stable 2.5V output up to 150mA load. Dropout voltage is 280mV typical at 150mA (2.5V output), enabling operation from single Li-ion or 3.3V system rails with margin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±1% - ensures precise biasing for ADC references and RF ICs requiring tight voltage tolerance. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - sufficient for powering baseband processors, RF transceivers, or sensor signal chains in portable devices. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from PMICs or DC-DC converters feeding adjacent analog/RF blocks. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - minimizes phase noise degradation in VCOs and jitter in high-speed data interfaces. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA typical - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and standby modes of handheld equipment. |
| Dropout Voltage | 280mV @ 150mA - allows regulation from 2.78V input, compatible with aging Li-ion cells down to ~2.8V under load. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(H) ≥ 1.3V, VEN(L) ≤ 0.5V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIOs without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
X2-DFN1010-4 (1.0mm × 1.0mm, 0.4mm pitch) - ultra-compact, thermally enhanced leadless package with exposed thermal pad. Requires PCB copper pour connected to GND for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 4) | Input power supply | Accepts 1.7V–5.25V; requires 0.47µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to minimize input impedance. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Primary return path; must connect to low-impedance ground plane to maintain PSRR and stability. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; floating state disables regulator - tie to VIN if always-on operation required. |
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Regulated output | Delivers 2.5V ±1%; requires 0.47µF ceramic capacitor near pin to ensure transient response and stability. |
| Thermal PAD | Thermal dissipation node | Not electrically functional; must be soldered to large GND copper area for thermal management (PD = 400mW max). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High PSRR | 75dB @ 1kHz - enables clean power delivery to noise-sensitive RF sections despite noisy shared supply rails. |
| Ultra-low noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - preserves SNR in audio codecs and dynamic range in precision ADCs. |
| Low quiescent current | 35µA - supports >1-year battery life in IoT sensors operating in deep-sleep cycles. |
| Wide input range | 1.7V–5.25V - accommodates single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), 3.3V system rails, and USB-powered peripherals. |
| ±1% output accuracy | Guaranteed over -40°C to +85°C - eliminates need for external trimming in production calibration of analog subsystems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, fixed-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP2204-25W5-7 | Same 2.5V output, but SOT25 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm); 50µA IQ; 65dB PSRR @ 1kHz | Larger footprint; lower PSRR reduces effectiveness in RF-heavy layouts | Preferred when board space permits larger package and thermal requirements are less stringent |
| MCP1700T-2502E/TT | 2.5V ±2% accuracy; 125mA max IOUT; 60µA IQ; 60dB PSRR @ 1kHz | Lower accuracy and PSRR limit use in precision RF/analog circuits | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer audio where ±2% tolerance and moderate noise rejection suffice |
Compared with AP2204-25W5-7 and MCP1700T-2502E/TT, the AP7315-25FS4-7B offers superior PSRR (75dB vs. ≤65dB), tighter accuracy (±1% vs. ±2%), and smaller X2-DFN1010-4 footprint - making it optimal for miniaturized RF and imaging subsystems demanding highest power integrity.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for AP7315-25FS4-7B?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 6.0V, but the recommended operating range is 1.7V to 5.25V. Exceeding 5.25V may trigger internal protection or degrade long-term reliability, even if within absolute ratings. Operation above 5.25V is not characterized or guaranteed per datasheet specifications.
Does AP7315-25FS4-7B include output discharge functionality?
No - AP7315-25FS4-7B is the non-discharge variant (suffix "-" not "D"). When disabled via EN pin, the output remains floating and does not actively discharge external capacitors. For automatic output discharge, select AP7315D-25FS4-7B, which integrates an internal NMOS discharge switch.
Can AP7315-25FS4-7B be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 0.47µF?
The datasheet specifies 0.47µF as the minimum recommended value for stability across temperature and load. While some designs may function with 0.22µF, doing so risks instability under high-current transients or at temperature extremes - violating the guaranteed stability condition defined in the Electrical Characteristics table.
How is thermal performance affected if the thermal pad is left unconnected?
Leaving the thermal pad unconnected increases junction-to-ambient thermal resistance by >40°C/W, limiting safe continuous output current to <50mA at +25°C ambient. To achieve full 150mA capability and meet the 400mW power dissipation rating, the pad must be soldered to a ≥25mm² GND copper pour.
