Product details
Overview
AP7315-26SR-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 2.6V 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, operates from 1.7V to 5.25V input, and is optimized for RF supply rails in space-constrained portable devices.
For engineers reviewing the AP7315-26SR-7 datasheet, AP7315-26SR-7 pinout, AP7315-26SR-7 application, or AP7315-26SR-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (210mV @ 150mA for 2.6V output), thermal performance in SOT23-3, EN logic thresholds (0.5V low / 1.3V high), and stability with 0.47µF ceramic capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP7315-26SR-7 integrates a CMOS-based error amplifier, precision voltage reference, current-limit circuit, and active-high enable input. Its architecture delivers fast load transient response (<100µs settling) and maintains regulation down to 1.7V input-critical for single-cell Li-ion or multi-cell alkaline systems.
It implements non-discharge functionality (no internal output discharge path), requires no external compensation, and achieves stable operation with low-ESR ceramic capacitors as small as 0.47µF on both input and output. The device is rated for –40°C to +85°C ambient operation and includes short-circuit protection clamping output current to ~55mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.6V ±1% - ensures stable bias for RF power amplifiers and analog sensor front-ends without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - sufficient to power baseband processors, camera modules, or wireless transceivers in handheld designs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 210mV @ 150mA - enables operation with ≤2.81V input, supporting single-cell battery systems across full discharge range. |
| PSRR | 75dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding noisy power domains. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - minimizes phase noise in VCOs and jitter in high-speed data interfaces. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA @ no load - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and standby modes. |
| Enable Thresholds | VEN(H) = 1.3V min, VEN(L) = 0.5V max - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
AP7315-26SR-7 is packaged in SOT23-3 (SR variant), a 1.3mm × 2.9mm × 1.0mm surface-mount package with gull-wing leads. Thermal pad is absent; PCB copper area under the package body improves heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for load current and internal circuitry; must connect to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| 2 (VIN) | Input power supply | Accepts 1.7V–5.25V; requires 0.47µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of this pin and GND. |
| 3 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 2.6V ±1%; output capacitor (0.47µF ceramic) must be placed adjacent to minimize loop inductance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz - rejects ripple from switching regulators powering adjacent subsystems. |
| Ultra-low noise | 60µVrms - preserves signal integrity in RF and audio signal chains without additional filtering. |
| Low quiescent current | 35µA - enables >1-year battery life in intermittent-sensing IoT endpoints. |
| Wide input range | 1.7V to 5.25V - supports direct connection to Li-ion, Li-Po, or 3.3V/5V system rails. |
| Enable control | Active-high EN (pin not present in SR package; tied internally to VIN) - simplifies power sequencing in compact layouts. |
Applications
| RF Power Amplifier Bias | Camera Module Core Supply |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-2602E/TO | 2.6V fixed, 250mA, 6µA IQ, but only 60dB PSRR @ 1kHz and 120µVrms noise. | Limited in RF-sensitive roles due to higher noise and lower PSRR; better suited for digital logic rails. | Select when ultra-low IQ dominates over noise/PSRR requirements. |
| Torex XC6206P262MR-G | 2.6V fixed, 150mA, 15µA IQ, 70dB PSRR @ 1kHz, 80µVrms noise, SOT23-3 package. | Higher noise degrades RF/audio performance; slightly lower PSRR reduces noise rejection capability. | Choose only if supply chain constraints require Torex sourcing and noise budget permits 20µVrms increase. |
Compared with MCP1700-2602E/TO and XC6206P262MR-G, the AP7315-26SR-7 uniquely balances ultra-low noise (60µVrms), high PSRR (75dB), and industry-standard SOT23-3 footprint-making it optimal for noise-critical RF and precision analog loads where competing alternatives trade off one parameter for another.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for AP7315-26SR-7?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 6.0V, but the recommended operating range is 1.7V to 5.25V. Exceeding 5.25V risks violating safe operating area limits and may trigger internal protection or cause permanent damage. Operation above 5.25V is not characterized or guaranteed per the datasheet.
Does AP7315-26SR-7 include an enable pin?
No-the SR suffix denotes the SOT23-3 package variant with no dedicated EN pin; enable functionality is disabled and the regulator operates continuously when powered. The EN pin is only present in SOT25 (5-pin) and X2-DFN1010-4 (4-pin) variants. In SR, internal enable is tied high.
Can AP7315-26SR-7 be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 0.47µF?
No-0.47µF is the minimum recommended ceramic output capacitance for guaranteed stability across temperature and load conditions. Using smaller values (e.g., 0.1µF) may cause oscillation or degraded transient response, as confirmed by the ESR vs. output current stability chart in the datasheet.
Is AP7315-26SR-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No-AP7315-26SR-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade versions (e.g., AP7315Q series) with PPAP capability, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and extended temperature screening. This part is intended for commercial/industrial portable electronics only.
