Product details
Overview
AP7315-28SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 2.8V 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 CMOS-based architecture, enable control, and is optimized for RF supply rails in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the AP7315-28SA-7 datasheet, AP7315-28SA-7 pinout, AP7315-28SA-7 application, or AP7315-28SA-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOT23-3 package terminal mapping, real-world use cases in RF and camera power domains, and validated alternative LDOs with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The AP7315-28SA-7 integrates a precision voltage reference, error amplifier, current-limit circuit, and CMOS pass transistor in a single-die solution. 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 range while maintaining regulation down to 210mV dropout at 150mA for VOUT = 2.8V.
It delivers stable 2.8V output with ±30ppm/°C temperature coefficient and supports ceramic output capacitors as low as 0.47µF. No discharge FET is integrated (non-discharge variant), confirmed by part suffix "SA" and absence of discharge functionality in pin descriptions and block diagram.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8V ±1% at +25°C; ensures stable bias for 2.8V RF transceivers and image sensors without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA continuous; sufficient for powering baseband processors, Wi-Fi/BT SoCs, or dual-camera modules in handheld devices. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz; suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters feeding noisy system rails. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz); minimizes phase noise impact on RF front-end performance and analog sensor signal integrity. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA typical; enables ultra-low-power standby modes in battery-operated portable media players and wireless adapters. |
| Dropout Voltage | 210mV at 150mA (VOUT = 2.8V); allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) or boosted 3.3V rails with margin. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.7V to 5.25V; compatible with wide-input PMIC outputs and legacy 3.3V/5V system supplies. |
Pinout & Package
AP7315-28SA-7 is packaged in SOT23-3 (JEDEC TO-236AB), a 1.3mm × 2.9mm × 1.0mm surface-mount package with gull-wing leads. Thermal pad is absent; PCB layout requires minimal copper pour under device body for passive dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 3) | Power input | Accepts 1.7–5.25V; must be decoupled with ≥0.47µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of pin to prevent instability during load transients. |
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Primary return path for input/output currents; connects directly to PCB ground plane to minimize impedance and avoid ground bounce. |
| VOUT (Pin 2) | Regulated output | Delivers 2.8V ±1%; requires local 0.47µF ceramic capacitor near load to maintain PSRR and transient response. |
| EN (Not present) | Enable control | Not implemented in SA package variant; regulator is permanently enabled - no external pull-up required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High PSRR | 75dB @ 1kHz enables clean power delivery to noise-sensitive RF ICs without additional filtering stages. |
| Ultra-low noise | 60µVrms output noise preserves SNR in analog camera signal chains and high-fidelity audio subsystems. |
| Low quiescent current | 35µA IQ extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and Bluetooth LE peripherals. |
| ±1% output accuracy | Tight tolerance eliminates need for post-production calibration in 2.8V supply rails for memory interfaces and logic cores. |
| CMOS process | Enables rail-to-rail input operation and eliminates PNP-based dropout limitations found in bipolar LDOs. |
Applications
| RF Power Supply | Camera Module Bias |

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 | 250mA rated, 6µA IQ, but only 60dB PSRR @ 1kHz and 120µVrms noise. | Better for ultra-low-power sleep modes; insufficient for RF noise rejection requirements. | Select when quiescent current dominates over RF cleanliness; avoid where PSRR >70dB is mandatory. |
| TPS7A0528PDBVR | 200mA, 25µA IQ, 70dB PSRR @ 1kHz, 40µVrms noise, but requires 1µF minimum COUT. | Lower noise than AP7315, but higher minimum output capacitance increases BOM cost and layout area. | Prefer when lowest possible noise is critical and 1µF ceramic cap is acceptable; verify stability with 0.47µF if space constrained. |
Compared with MCP1700-2802E/TO and TPS7A0528PDBVR, the AP7315-28SA-7 uniquely balances 75dB PSRR, 60µVrms noise, and 0.47µF capacitor compatibility in the smallest SOT23-3 footprint-making it optimal for RF and imaging subsystems where noise, size, and stability co-constrain design.

FAQ
Is AP7315-28SA-7 pin-compatible with other SOT23-3 LDOs?
No-AP7315-28SA-7 uses non-standard pinout: Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = VOUT, Pin 3 = VIN. Most SOT23-3 LDOs (e.g., MCP1700) assign Pin 1 = VIN, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = VOUT. PCB layout must follow Diodes' top-view marking (GND-VOUT-VIN) to avoid reverse polarity damage.
Does AP7315-28SA-7 include an output discharge function?
No. The "SA" suffix denotes the SOT23-3 non-discharge variant. Unlike AP7315D-28SA-7, it lacks an internal discharge FET. When disabled, VOUT remains floating and decays only via external load or parasitic paths-critical for systems requiring controlled power-down sequencing.
What is the minimum input voltage needed to sustain 2.8V output at 150mA?
Based on datasheet dropout curves, the maximum dropout at 150mA and +25°C is 290mV for VOUT = 2.8V. Therefore, minimum valid input is 2.8V + 0.29V = 3.09V. At -40°C, dropout rises to ~320mV, requiring VIN ≥ 3.12V for guaranteed regulation.
Can AP7315-28SA-7 operate with 0.22µF output capacitance?
No. Datasheet specifies 0.47µF minimum ceramic COUT for stability across temperature and load. Using 0.22µF risks oscillation, especially under 50–150mA dynamic loads, as confirmed by ESR vs. IOUT stability charts showing marginal region below 0.4µF at full load.
