Product details
Overview
AP7315-285SR-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 150mA low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 2.85V output, ±1% 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 AP7315-285SR-7 datasheet, AP7315-285SR-7 pinout, AP7315-285SR-7 application, or AP7315-285SR-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 150mA (210mV typical), EN logic thresholds (0.5V low / 1.3V high), thermal performance in SOT23-3, and compatibility with 0.47µF ceramic input/output capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP7315-285SR-7 uses a CMOS-based LDO architecture with integrated voltage reference, error amplifier, and current-limit circuitry. Its non-discharge design means the output remains floating during shutdown-no internal discharge path exists between VOUT and GND.
It delivers stable regulation under load transients up to 150mA with <1.0% load regulation and supports fast line transient response due to high PSRR across 100Hz–1MHz. The EN pin directly controls NMOS pass device gate, enabling hard on/off switching without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.85V ±1% - ensures precise biasing for 2.8V–2.9V logic or RF ICs without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - sufficient for powering baseband processors, camera sensors, or low-power RF front-ends. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding noisy power domains. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - minimizes phase noise impact on VCOs and PLLs in wireless transceivers. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA typical - enables multi-day battery life in always-on sensor or standby-mode subsystems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 210mV at 150mA - allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) down to 3.06V while maintaining regulation. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.7V to 5.25V - compatible with wide-input PMIC outputs, USB-powered systems, and multi-rail battery packs. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (SR variant) with 1.3mm × 1.3mm footprint and 0.95mm height; thermally enhanced with exposed pad connected to GND in PCB layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 3) | Power input | Accepts 1.7–5.25V; requires 0.47µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm for stability and noise rejection. |
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path; must connect to solid ground plane to minimize dropout and noise coupling. |
| VOUT (Pin 2) | Regulated output | Delivers 2.85V ±1%; no internal discharge - external bleed resistor needed if rapid VOUT decay required. |
| EN (Not present) | Enable control | Not implemented in SR package - device is permanently enabled; EN functionality only available in SOT25 and DFN variants. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High PSRR | 75dB @ 1kHz - maintains clean 2.85V rail despite ripple on shared input bus from buck converters. |
| Ultra-low noise | 60µVrms broadband noise - preserves SNR in analog signal chains like audio codecs or RF receivers. |
| Tight output accuracy | ±1% over temperature - eliminates need for post-regulation trimming in production calibration. |
| Low IQ operation | 35µA quiescent current - reduces standby power loss by >50% vs. legacy LDOs in always-on IoT nodes. |
| Wide input range | 1.7V–5.25V - supports direct connection to Li-ion, LiPo, or USB 5V sources without pre-regulation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-2802E/TO | 2.8V fixed output, 250mA rating, 6µA IQ, but only 60dB PSRR at 1kHz and 120µVrms noise. | Lacks RF-grade noise/PSRR performance; suitable for digital-only loads, not sensitive analog/RF circuits. | Select when ultra-low IQ dominates requirements and RF/audio noise sensitivity is absent. |
| Torex XC6206P282MR-G | 2.8V output, ±2% accuracy, 100mA max, 1.0µA IQ, but no enable pin and 50dB PSRR at 1kHz. | Lower accuracy and PSRR limit use to non-critical digital I/O rails; no EN support restricts power sequencing. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-current, non-EN applications where precision and noise are secondary. |
Compared with MCP1700-2802E/TO and XC6206P282MR-G, the AP7315-285SR-7 provides superior RF system integrity through its 75dB PSRR and 60µVrms noise-critical for maintaining EVM in 5G NR and SNR in high-resolution audio-while retaining competitive quiescent current and thermal robustness in SOT23.

FAQ
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the AP7315-285SR-7 in SOT23-3?
The AP7315-285SR-7 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 250°C/W on a standard JEDEC 2-layer board (1oz copper, 2in × 2in). With a 25mm² thermal pad connected to a solid ground plane, θJA improves to ≤180°C/W, enabling 150mA continuous operation at +85°C ambient.
Does the AP7315-285SR-7 include output discharge functionality?
No. The AP7315-285SR-7 is the non-discharge variant (no 'D' suffix); it lacks an internal discharge FET. When disabled, VOUT remains floating and decays only via external load or PCB leakage. For active discharge, select AP7315D-285SR-7 or use an external MOSFET switch.
Can the AP7315-285SR-7 operate with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 0.47µF?
Yes-stability is guaranteed with ≥0.47µF ceramic capacitors (X5R/X7R, 6.3V rating). Capacitors as low as 0.22µF may work in low-noise, low-transient applications, but are not characterized per datasheet; full specification compliance requires 0.47µF minimum.
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 6.0V, but recommended continuous operation is limited to 5.25V per datasheet specifications. Exceeding 5.25V risks exceeding power dissipation limits and degrading long-term reliability-even at light loads-due to increased dropout-related heating.
