Product details
Overview
AP7315-31W5-7 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. It features enable control, thermal shutdown, and short-circuit protection, and is optimized for RF supply rails in portable wireless communication devices.
For engineers reviewing the AP7315-31W5-7 datasheet, AP7315-31W5-7 pinout, AP7315-31W5-7 application, or AP7315-31W5-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, SOT25 package layout guidance, real-world load transient behavior, and validated alternative LDOs for space-constrained, low-noise power domains.
Technical Context
The AP7315-31W5-7 employs a CMOS-based architecture with integrated voltage reference, error amplifier, and current-limit circuitry. Its EN pin provides precise on/off control with 0.5V max logic-low threshold and 1.3V min logic-high threshold, enabling seamless integration into power sequencing schemes.
Designed for high-PSRR, low-noise operation, it maintains stable regulation across 1.7V–5.25V input range while delivering 3.1V ±1% at up to 150mA. Dropout voltage is 210mV typical at 150mA (for VOUT = 3.1V), supporting efficient operation in battery-powered systems near end-of-life voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.1V ±1% at +25°C; ensures stable biasing for 3.3V-tolerant RF ICs without external feedback network |
| Max Output Current | 150mA guaranteed; supports moderate-power RF front-end stages and camera sensor interfaces |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz; suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding shared input rails |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz); minimizes phase noise degradation in VCO and PLL supply domains |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA typical; extends battery life in always-on standby circuits such as Bluetooth LE receivers |
| Dropout Voltage | 210mV typical at 150mA; enables operation down to 3.31V input, compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) systems |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.7V to 5.25V; accommodates wide-input buck regulators or multi-cell battery configurations |
Pinout & Package
The AP7315-31W5-7 is packaged in the SOT25 (5-pin) surface-mount package, featuring a compact 2.9mm × 2.8mm footprint with exposed thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation. Pin 1 is VIN, Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is EN, Pin 4 is NC (not connected), and Pin 5 is VOUT - confirmed per Diodes DS38352 Rev. 2-2, page 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Power input | Accepts 1.7–5.25V; requires 0.47µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to minimize input impedance |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Primary return path for input/output currents; must connect directly to low-impedance ground plane |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; drives regulator ON when ≥1.3V, OFF when ≤0.5V; floating state prohibited |
| NC (Pin 4) | No connection | Internally unconnected; recommended to tie to GND for improved thermal conduction and PCB copper fill |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | Delivers 3.1V ±1% at up to 150mA; requires 0.47µF ceramic output capacitor placed within 2mm of pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High PSRR | 75dB @ 1kHz ensures clean 3.1V rail despite noisy DC/DC switching ripple on shared input |
| Ultra-low noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) prevents modulation of sensitive RF receiver chains |
| Low quiescent current | 35µA typical enables >1-year battery life in IoT sensor nodes with periodic wake-up cycles |
| Thermal shutdown | Integrated protection activates before junction temperature exceeds safe limit under sustained overload |
| Short-circuit foldback | Limits output current to ~55mA during VOUT-to-GND fault, preventing thermal runaway and board damage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, enable-capable LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1703T-3102E/MB | 3.1V fixed, 250mA, 6µVrms noise, but 120µA IQ and only 60dB PSRR @ 1kHz | Better noise performance, but higher IQ and lower PSRR reduce suitability for RF-biased systems | Prefer for ultra-low-noise audio where PSRR is secondary and higher IQ is acceptable |
| Torex XC6210B312MR-G | 3.1V fixed, 150mA, 40µVrms noise, 30µA IQ, but no EN pin and 65dB PSRR @ 1kHz | Lacks enable control and has lower PSRR, limiting use in sequenced power architectures | Select when enable functionality is unnecessary and lowest possible noise is prioritized over system-level control |
Compared with MCP1703T-3102E/MB and XC6210B312MR-G, the AP7315-31W5-7 uniquely balances ultra-low noise (60µVrms), high PSRR (75dB), enable control, and micro-power operation (35µA) - making it optimal for RF and imaging subsystems requiring both precision regulation and dynamic power management.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for AP7315-31W5-7?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 6.0V, but the recommended operating range is 1.7V to 5.25V. Exceeding 5.25V may cause permanent damage or degrade long-term reliability, even if within absolute maximum ratings. Operation above 5.25V voids warranty and is not characterized.
Can the NC pin (Pin 4) be left floating in the SOT25 package?
No - Pin 4 is internally unconnected but should be tied to GND on the PCB. This improves thermal dissipation via increased copper area and reduces electromagnetic coupling; leaving it floating risks parasitic capacitance and potential noise coupling into adjacent traces.
Does AP7315-31W5-7 include output discharge functionality?
No - AP7315-31W5-7 is the non-discharge variant. It lacks an internal pull-down transistor on VOUT; therefore, the output voltage decays only through external load or leakage. For fast VOUT discharge, select AP7315D-31W5-7, which integrates a 30Ω NMOS discharge switch activated during shutdown.
What is the minimum recommended output capacitor value and type?
A minimum 0.47µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor is required, placed within 2mm of VOUT and GND pins. Lower ESR (<10mΩ) and higher capacitance (≥1µF) improve transient response for pulsed loads like RF PAs, but stability is guaranteed only with ≥0.47µF ceramics meeting the ESR vs. IOUT stability region in DS38352 Figure 22.
