Product details
Overview
AP7315-33SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.3V 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, operates from 1.7V to 5.25V input, and is optimized for RF supply and portable media applications where low noise and high power-supply rejection are critical.
For engineers reviewing the AP7315-33SA-7 datasheet, AP7315-33SA-7 pinout, AP7315-33SA-7 application, or AP7315-33SA-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all grounded in Diodes' DS38352 Rev. 2-2 specification.
Technical Context
The AP7315-33SA-7 implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with integrated voltage reference, error amplifier, and current-limit circuitry. Its enable input (EN) provides precise on/off control with defined logic thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.5V, VIH ≥ 1.3V), and it lacks internal discharge functionality (non-discharge variant).
Designed for ultra-low-noise biasing, it achieves 60µVrms output noise over 10Hz–100kHz and maintains 75dB ripple rejection at 1kHz under 30mA load. Dropout voltage is 210mV typical at 150mA for 3.3V output, enabling stable regulation even with tight VIN–VOUT margins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1% at +25°C; ensures stable core/bias rail for 3.3V logic and RF ICs without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA guaranteed; supports moderate-power peripherals like camera modules and wireless adapters. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz; suppresses switching noise from DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz); minimizes phase noise in RF synthesizers and jitter in high-speed interfaces. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA typical at no load; extends battery life in always-on sensor or standby circuits. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.7V to 5.25V; compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), 3.3V system rails, and boosted 5V supplies. |
| Dropout Voltage | 210mV typical at 150mA; allows operation with only 3.51V input for clean 3.3V output. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 (SA) package: ultra-compact 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint with exposed pad not connected internally; requires PCB copper area for thermal dissipation but not as GND electrode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT (Pin 2) | Regulated power output | Delivers stable 3.3V to load; must be decoupled with ≥0.47µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| GND (Pin 1) | Reference and return path | Primary ground connection; ties to system ground plane to minimize impedance and stabilize regulation. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control input | Active-high logic: ≥1.3V enables regulator; ≤0.5V disables it into 0.01µA standby mode. |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 1.7–5.25V; requires ≥0.47µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed within 2mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High PSRR | 75dB @ 1kHz ensures immunity to noise from upstream switching regulators in mixed-signal systems. |
| Ultra-Low Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) preserves signal integrity in analog front-ends and RF receivers. |
| Precision Output Accuracy | ±1% over temperature and line/load ensures reliable operation of 3.3V I/O interfaces and memory. |
| Low Quiescent Current | 35µA typical enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell-powered IoT sensors at 150µA average load. |
| Wide Input Range | 1.7V–5.25V supports direct connection to Li-ion, USB, or regulated 3.3V/5V rails 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-3302E/TO | 3.3V fixed, 250mA, 6µA IQ, but only 60dB PSRR @ 1kHz and 120µVrms noise. | Lacks RF-grade noise/PSRR performance; suitable for digital-only loads, not RF or precision analog. | Choose when ultra-low IQ dominates over noise/PSRR; verify dropout (600mV @ 250mA) suffices for VIN margin. |
| Torex XC6206P332MR-G | 3.3V fixed, 150mA, 15µA IQ, 70dB PSRR @ 1kHz, 40µVrms noise, SOT23-3 pinout identical. | Lower noise than AP7315-33SA-7 but narrower input range (1.8–6.0V vs. 1.7–5.25V); no EN pin. | Select when EN control is unnecessary and lowest possible noise is critical; confirm 1.8V min VIN compatibility. |
Compared with MCP1700-3302E/TO and XC6206P332MR-G, the AP7315-33SA-7 uniquely balances RF-grade PSRR/noise, enable functionality, and wide 1.7V input support - making it optimal for battery-powered RF and imaging systems where all three traits are required simultaneously.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP7315-33SA-7 to regulate 3.3V output at 150mA?
The typical dropout voltage is 210mV at 150mA and +25°C, so minimum input is 3.3V + 0.21V = 3.51V. At -40°C or +85°C, worst-case dropout rises to 290mV per datasheet Table 2, requiring ≥3.59V input for guaranteed regulation across temperature.
Can the EN pin be left unconnected, or does it require a pull-up?
The EN pin must never be left floating. To ensure reliable operation, tie EN to VIN via a direct connection or 100kΩ pull-up resistor. Floating EN causes unpredictable enable/disable behavior due to leakage-induced threshold violations.
Is AP7315-33SA-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No - AP7315-33SA-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., AP7315Q) with PPAP capability and IATF 16949 manufacturing, but this SA-packaged part is intended for commercial portable electronics only.
What output capacitor value and type are recommended for stable operation?
A minimum 0.47µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor is required, placed within 2mm of VOUT and GND pins. For loads with >50mA step changes, add a 4.7µF–10µF low-ESR tantalum or polymer capacitor in parallel to improve transient response.
