Product details
Overview
AP7315-25SR-7 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 - designed for RF supply rails in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the AP7315-25SR-7 datasheet, AP7315-25SR-7 pinout, AP7315-25SR-7 application, or AP7315-25SR-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOT23-3 package layout guidance, thermal design notes, and real-world use cases in wireless communication subsystems.
Technical Context
The AP7315-25SR-7 integrates a CMOS-based error amplifier, precision voltage reference, current-limit circuit, and enable control logic. Its non-discharge architecture maintains output voltage during shutdown without actively discharging the load capacitor.
It operates across 1.7V–5.25V input range with dropout voltage as low as 280mV at 150mA (for VOUT = 2.5V), and features EN pin logic thresholds of 0.5V (max low) and 1.3V (min high) to ensure robust enable/disable control in noisy environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±1% - ensures stable biasing for 2.5V-tolerant RF ICs and baseband processors. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - sufficient for powering single-band RF transceivers or camera sensor analog blocks. |
| 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 local oscillator supply paths. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA typical - enables multi-day battery life in always-on sensor or BLE beacon applications. |
| Dropout Voltage | 280mV at 150mA - allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) or 3.3V rail with margin. |
| Enable Threshold | VIL ≤ 0.5V, VIH ≥ 1.3V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 (SR variant) is a 3-pin, surface-mount plastic package measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm with gull-wing leads; optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly. Thermal performance relies on direct GND pad connection and minimal trace impedance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 3) | Input power supply | Accepts 1.7V–5.25V; requires 0.47µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed within 2mm of pin. |
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path; must connect directly to solid ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| VOUT (Pin 2) | Regulated output | Delivers 2.5V ±1%; output capacitor (≥0.47µF ceramic) required for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz - preserves signal integrity in RF front-end power domains by rejecting switcher ripple. |
| Ultra-low noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - avoids modulation artifacts in sensitive analog signal chains. |
| Low quiescent current | 35µA typical - extends runtime in battery-powered IoT nodes with periodic wake-up cycles. |
| Wide input range | 1.7V–5.25V - supports direct connection to Li-ion, Li-Po, or regulated 3.3V/5V system rails. |
| Enable control | Logic-compatible EN pin (not present on SR package - tied internally to VIN) - simplifies power sequencing in compact designs. |
Applications
| RF Power Amplifier Bias | Camera Sensor Analog Supply |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-2502E/TO | 250mA rated, 6µA quiescent current, but only 60dB PSRR at 1kHz and 120µVrms noise. | Better suited for ultra-low-power microcontroller rails than RF-sensitive analog circuits. | Select when lowest IQ dominates over noise/PSRR requirements. |
| Torex XC6206P252MR-G | 150mA rated, ±2% accuracy, 45dB PSRR at 1kHz, no enable pin in SOT23-3 variant. | Limited for RF applications due to lower PSRR and lack of active enable control. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-critical analog rails where 2% tolerance is acceptable. |
Compared with MCP1700-2502E/TO and XC6206P252MR-G, the AP7315-25SR-7 delivers superior RF immunity (75dB vs. ≤60dB PSRR) and lower noise (60µVrms vs. ≥120µVrms), making it the preferred choice for noise-sensitive analog and RF subsystems despite slightly higher IQ.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for AP7315-25SR-7?
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; operation above 6.0V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does AP7315-25SR-7 include an enable pin?
No - the SR suffix denotes the SOT23-3 package variant with EN internally tied to VIN, resulting in always-on operation. The enable function is only available in SOT25 (5-pin) and X2-DFN1010-4 (4-pin) variants, not in SR.
What output capacitor is required for stability?
A minimum 0.47µF ceramic capacitor is required between VOUT and GND, placed within 3mm of the pins. Low-ESR X5R/X7R types are recommended; bulk capacitance may be added for large load transients, but the ceramic cap is mandatory for loop stability.
How does thermal performance depend on PCB layout?
Thermal resistance (θJA) is highly layout-dependent: a 1-inch² copper pour connected to the GND pin reduces θJA from ~250°C/W (JEDEC standard) to ~120°C/W. Avoid routing high-current traces near the device and ensure uninterrupted GND plane under the package.
