Product details
Overview
AP7315-30FS4-7B from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0V 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, CMOS-based architecture, and is optimized for RF supply and portable media applications requiring stable, low-noise biasing.
For engineers reviewing the AP7315-30FS4-7B datasheet, AP7315-30FS4-7B pinout, AP7315-30FS4-7B application, or AP7315-30FS4-7B equivalent, this LDO delivers high PSRR, ultra-low noise, and precise 3.0V regulation in a 1.0mm × 1.0mm X2-DFN1010-4 package - critical for space-constrained, battery-powered RF and imaging subsystems.
Technical Context
The AP7315-30FS4-7B integrates a precision voltage reference, error amplifier, current-limit circuit, and CMOS pass transistor. Its enable input (EN) provides clean on/off control with defined logic thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.5V, VIH ≥ 1.3V), and it operates across 1.7V–5.25V input while maintaining 3.0V output within ±1% over temperature and load.
Designed for low-noise analog and RF rails, it achieves 75dB ripple rejection at 1kHz and 60µVrms integrated noise without requiring external bypass capacitors beyond standard 0.47µF ceramic CIN/COUT. Dropout voltage is 210mV typical at 150mA (VOUT = 3.0V), enabling efficient operation near battery end-of-discharge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0V ±1% at +25°C; ensures stable bias for 3.0V logic, RF ICs, and camera sensors without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA guaranteed; supports moderate-power peripherals like Wi-Fi/BT modules and image signal processors. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz; suppresses switching noise from DC/DC converters feeding the same power domain. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz); minimizes phase noise in RF synthesizers and jitter in high-speed ADC clocks. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA typical; extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and standby modes of portable devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 210mV typical at 150mA; allows operation down to 3.21V input, compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) systems. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.7V to 5.25V; accommodates wide-input sources including boosted 3.3V rails and unregulated battery inputs. |
Pinout & Package
X2-DFN1010-4 (1.0mm × 1.0mm, 0.4mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. Requires PCB copper area connected to GND for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 4) | Power input | Accepts 1.7–5.25V; must be decoupled with ≥0.47µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Primary return path for load current; connects to thermal pad for heat dissipation and low-impedance grounding. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; drives regulator ON when ≥1.3V, OFF when ≤0.5V; must not float. |
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 3.0V ±1%; requires ≥0.47µF ceramic capacitor close to pin for transient stability. |
| Thermal PAD | Thermal interface | Not electrically functional; must be soldered to large GND copper pour to limit junction temperature rise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-3002E/MB | 3.0V fixed, 250mA, 6µA IQ, but only 60dB PSRR at 1kHz and 120µVrms noise. | Lower noise sensitivity; suitable for digital I/O rails but not RF or high-fidelity audio. | Choose when ultra-low IQ dominates over PSRR/noise; avoid for RF bias or precision analog. |
| Torex XC6206P302MR-G | 3.0V fixed, 150mA, 1.0µA IQ, but 55dB PSRR at 1kHz and no EN pin. | No enable control; limited transient response due to lower bandwidth and PSRR. | Use only in always-on, ultra-low-power applications where shutdown capability is unnecessary. |
Compared with MCP1700-3002E/MB and XC6206P302MR-G, the AP7315-30FS4-7B uniquely balances 75dB PSRR, 60µVrms noise, and 35µA IQ in a 1.0mm² package - making it the only option qualified for simultaneous RF bias and portable media use cases.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for AP7315-30FS4-7B?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 6.0V. Operation above 5.25V violates recommended conditions and risks permanent damage. For sustained reliability, VIN must remain within 1.7V–5.25V per datasheet specifications, with derating applied at elevated ambient temperatures.
Does AP7315-30FS4-7B include output discharge functionality?
No. The "-7B" suffix indicates non-discharge configuration (AP7315, not AP7315D). When disabled via EN pin, the output remains floating - no internal pull-down resistor discharges VOUT. External discharge circuitry is required if fast turn-off decay is needed.
Can AP7315-30FS4-7B operate with ceramic capacitors smaller than 0.47µF?
No. The datasheet specifies minimum 0.47µF ceramic capacitors for both CIN and COUT to ensure stability and transient response. Using smaller values risks oscillation or excessive output voltage deviation under load steps, especially at 150mA output.
How does thermal performance depend on the X2-DFN1010-4 thermal pad layout?
Thermal resistance θJA drops from 220°C/W (no pad) to ~120°C/W when the exposed thermal pad is soldered to ≥100mm² of 2oz copper tied to GND. Leaving the pad unconnected or using insufficient copper increases junction temperature by >30°C at 150mA, risking thermal shutdown.
