Product details
Overview
AP7315-31FS4-7B from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.1V 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 AP7315-31FS4-7B datasheet, AP7315-31FS4-7B pinout, AP7315-31FS4-7B application, or AP7315-31FS4-7B equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal-aware package layout guidance, enable-controlled power sequencing, and validated alternatives for low-noise, high-PSRR LDO selection in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The AP7315-31FS4-7B integrates a CMOS-based error amplifier, precision voltage reference, current-limit circuit, and active-high enable input - enabling fast load transient response (<100µs) and stable operation with only 0.47µF ceramic input/output capacitors. Its non-discharge architecture avoids output voltage collapse during shutdown.
Designed for 1.7V to 5.25V input range, it delivers regulated 3.1V output with dropout as low as 210mV at 150mA (for VOUT ≥ 2.8V), supporting battery-powered systems where headroom and efficiency are critical. Thermal performance is enhanced via the exposed thermal pad in its X2-DFN1010-4 package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.1V ±1% - ensures stable biasing for RF ICs and sensors without external feedback network. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA continuous - sufficient for powering baseband processors, camera modules, or wireless transceivers. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters in mixed-signal PCBs. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - minimizes phase noise impact on RF front-end performance. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA typical - extends battery life in always-on sensor or standby communication circuits. |
| Dropout Voltage | 210mV at 150mA - enables operation down to 3.31V input, compatible with single-cell Li-ion or Li-poly systems. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(H) = 1.3V min, VEN(L) = 0.5V max - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO control without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
X2-DFN1010-4 (1.0mm × 1.0mm, 0.4mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad - requires PCB copper pour connected to GND for optimal thermal dissipation (θJA ≈ 220°C/W on JEDEC High-K board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 4) | Input power supply | Accepts 1.7–5.25V; must be decoupled with ≥0.47µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path; connects to thermal pad and system ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; floating state is undefined - tie to VIN if always-on operation is required. |
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Regulated output | Delivers 3.1V ±1%; requires 0.47µF ceramic capacitor near pin to ensure stability under load transients. |
| Thermal Pad | Thermal dissipation node | Not electrically functional; must be soldered to large GND copper area for thermal management - not used as signal GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz - maintains clean supply under noisy DC/DC ripple, critical for RF synthesizers. |
| Ultra-low noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - prevents amplitude modulation of sensitive analog receivers. |
| Low quiescent current | 35µA typical - enables >1-year battery life in IoT endpoint devices with periodic wake-up. |
| Small footprint | X2-DFN1010-4 (1.0×1.0mm) - saves >60% board area vs. SOT23, enabling ultra-thin mobile designs. |
| Wide input range | 1.7V to 5.25V - supports direct connection to single-cell batteries, USB, or intermediate rail supplies. |
Applications
| RF Power Amplifier Bias | Camera Sensor Core Supply |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Providing clean, low-noise bias voltage to GaAs pHEMT or SiGe HBT RF power amplifiers in 4G/5G modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: LDO regulator delivering stable 3.1V supply independent of PA current surges and switching noise from PMIC. Use Value: 75dB PSRR and 60µVrms noise prevent AM-to-PM distortion and EVM degradation in transmit chains. |
Use Scenario: Powering high-resolution CMOS image sensor cores (e.g., 12MP+) in smartphones and action cameras. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise, fast-transient LDO supplying analog pixel array and ADC reference rails. Use Value: ±1% accuracy and <100µs load step response eliminate image banding and black-level drift during exposure changes. |
| Wireless Adapter SoC Core | Portable Media Player Audio Codec |
|
Use Scenario: Regulating core voltage for Wi-Fi/BT combo chips (e.g., QCA9377, CYW20735) in dongles and wearables. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Enable-controlled LDO enabling precise power domain sequencing during sleep/wake transitions. Use Value: 35µA quiescent current and 210mV dropout extend runtime in battery-operated adapters with intermittent connectivity. |
Use Scenario: Supplying DAC/ADC and headphone driver stages in portable audio players with Hi-Res playback capability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ultra-low-noise LDO isolating analog audio path from digital SoC noise. Use Value: 60µVrms noise floor preserves >110dB SNR in 32-bit audio paths without additional filtering. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-3102E/MB | 3.1V fixed, 250mA, 6µA IQ, but only 60dB PSRR @ 1kHz and 120µVrms noise. | Limited suitability for RF supply due to lower PSRR/noise performance. | Prefer when ultra-low IQ dominates over noise/PSRR requirements (e.g., long-life sensor nodes). |
| Torex XC6210B312MR-G | 3.1V fixed, 150mA, 70dB PSRR @ 1kHz, 45µVrms noise, but requires 1µF COUT and has no EN pin. | Not suitable for enable-controlled power domains or space-constrained layouts needing minimal capacitance. | Consider only if board area allows larger output cap and enable functionality is unnecessary. |
Compared with MCP1700-3102E/MB and XC6210B312MR-G, the AP7315-31FS4-7B uniquely balances 75dB PSRR, 60µVrms noise, 35µA IQ, and enable control in a 1.0×1.0mm DFN - making it optimal for RF and imaging subsystems where noise, size, and sequencing coexist as hard constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for AP7315-31FS4-7B?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 6.0V, but the recommended operating range is 1.7V to 5.25V. Exceeding 5.25V may trigger internal protection or degrade long-term reliability. Operation above 5.25V is not guaranteed per datasheet specifications and risks permanent damage under sustained stress.
Can the thermal pad of the X2-DFN1010-4 package be left unconnected?
No - the thermal pad must be soldered to a PCB copper pour connected to GND for effective heat dissipation. Leaving it unconnected increases junction-to-ambient thermal resistance by >100°C/W, risking thermal shutdown or accelerated parametric drift above 60°C ambient. The pad is not electrically functional but is thermally critical.
Is AP7315-31FS4-7B pin-compatible with other AP7315 variants in the same package?
Yes - all AP7315 variants in X2-DFN1010-4 (e.g., AP7315-25FS4-7B, AP7315-33FS4-7B) share identical pinout (VIN, GND, EN, VOUT) and footprint. Only the fixed output voltage differs; no layout change is needed when substituting within the same package code, provided the target voltage meets system requirements.
Does AP7315-31FS4-7B include reverse-current protection?
No - the AP7315-31FS4-7B lacks integrated reverse-current blocking. When VIN drops below VOUT (e.g., during input brownout), current can flow backward from VOUT to VIN through the pass device. External protection (e.g., series Schottky diode or ideal diode controller) is required in systems where backfeed must be prevented.
