Product details
Overview
AP7315-25W5-7 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 compact portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the AP7315-25W5-7 datasheet, AP7315-25W5-7 pinout, AP7315-25W5-7 application, or AP7315-25W5-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOT25 package layout guidance, real-world load transient behavior, and validated alternative LDOs for space-constrained battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The AP7315-25W5-7 uses a CMOS-based architecture with integrated voltage reference, error amplifier, and current-limit circuitry. Its enable input (EN) provides precise on/off control with defined logic thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.5V, VIH ≥ 1.3V), and it operates across 1.7V–5.25V input while maintaining regulation down to 210mV dropout at 150mA for 2.5V output.
It features non-discharge functionality (no internal output discharge path), thermal shutdown protection, and short-circuit current limiting (~55mA). Stability is ensured with ≥0.47µF ceramic output capacitance and low-ESR requirements validated across –40°C to +85°C ambient operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±1% - ensures stable bias for RF transceivers and precision analog circuitry without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA continuous - sufficient for powering baseband processors, camera ISPs, or wireless co-processors in handheld devices. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from PMICs or DC-DC converters feeding adjacent digital blocks. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - minimizes phase noise impact on VCOs and ADC reference supplies. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA typical - extends battery life in always-on sensor or standby-mode subsystems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 280mV max at 150mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) or 3.3V rail with margin. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.7V to 5.25V - supports direct connection to wide-range battery inputs or post-regulated system rails. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin, 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm) package with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected); optimized for high-density PCB layouts and thermal performance via copper pour under the pad tied to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Power input | Accepts 1.7V–5.25V; requires 0.47µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to minimize input impedance and ripple coupling. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for load current; must connect to low-impedance ground plane to maintain PSRR and stability. |
| 3 - EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input; drives regulator ON when ≥1.3V, OFF when ≤0.5V; floating state is prohibited. |
| 4 - NC | No-connect | Internally unconnected; recommended to tie to GND for improved thermal dissipation and EMI shielding. |
| 5 - VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers 2.5V ±1% to load; requires 0.47µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of pin for optimal transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High PSRR | 75dB @ 1kHz - maintains clean power delivery despite noisy shared input rails from switching regulators. |
| Ultra-low noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - avoids degradation of SNR in RF front-ends and high-resolution ADCs. |
| Low quiescent current | 35µA typical - enables >1-year battery life in IoT sensors operating in deep-sleep cycles. |
| Wide input range | 1.7V–5.25V - accommodates aging Li-ion cells (2.8V–4.2V) and 3.3V/5V system rails without redesign. |
| ±1% output accuracy | Guaranteed over temperature and line/load - eliminates need for post-production calibration in production test. |
Applications
| RF Power Amplifier Bias | Camera Image Signal Processor |
|---|---|

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 output, 6µA IQ, but only 60dB PSRR at 1kHz and 30µVrms noise. | Better for ultra-low-power microcontroller domains; insufficient PSRR for RF supply. | Select when lowest quiescent current is critical and RF noise immunity is not required. |
| Torex XC6206P252MR-G | 150mA output, ±2% accuracy, 70dB PSRR, 45µVrms noise, SOT23-3 package. | Lacks enable pin and has looser accuracy - unsuitable for precision analog or sequenced power systems. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-sequenced, non-RF applications where enable control is unnecessary. |
Compared with MCP1700-2502E/TO and XC6206P252MR-G, the AP7315-25W5-7 uniquely balances RF-grade PSRR, tight output accuracy, and integrated enable control in a thermally enhanced SOT25 package - making it optimal for multi-rail portable systems requiring both efficiency and signal integrity.

FAQ
What is the thermal pad connection requirement for AP7315-25W5-7?
The SOT25 package includes an exposed thermal pad that is not electrically connected. For optimal thermal performance, it must be soldered to a large copper area on the PCB and connected to the GND net - this reduces junction-to-ambient thermal resistance by up to 40°C/W and prevents thermal shutdown during sustained 150mA loads.
Can AP7315-25W5-7 be used with ceramic capacitors smaller than 0.47µF?
No - the datasheet specifies 0.47µF minimum ceramic output capacitance for stability across all operating conditions. Using smaller values risks oscillation or degraded transient response, especially under 100mA load steps. The device is not characterized for <0.47µF, and no ESR compensation network is provided.
Does AP7315-25W5-7 include reverse-current protection?
No - the AP7315-25W5-7 lacks internal reverse-current blocking. If VOUT exceeds VIN (e.g., during hot-swap or backup battery scenarios), current can flow backward from output to input. An external Schottky diode in series with VIN is required for reverse-polarity or backfeed protection.
How does the EN pin behave during power-up sequencing?
The EN pin must be held low until VIN reaches ≥1.7V to prevent premature turn-on and potential output overshoot. Once VIN is stable, driving EN ≥1.3V enables regulated output with typical 50µs startup delay. Pulling EN ≤0.5V disables the output and reduces supply current to 0.01µA.
