Product details
Overview
AP7315D-25W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 2.5V fixed-output, 150mA low-dropout linear regulator with enable control, ±1% output voltage accuracy, 75dB PSRR at 1kHz, and 60µVrms output noise (10Hz–100kHz). It operates from 1.7V to 5.25V input and delivers ultra-low quiescent current (35µA typical) for battery-powered RF supply and portable media applications.
For engineers reviewing the AP7315D-25W5-7 datasheet, AP7315D-25W5-7 pinout, AP7315D-25W5-7 application, or AP7315D-25W5-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (280mV @150mA), EN logic thresholds (0.5V low / 1.3V high), thermal performance in SOT25, and built-in auto-discharge functionality for rapid VOUT discharge during shutdown.
Technical Context
The AP7315D-25W5-7 integrates a CMOS-based error amplifier, precision voltage reference, current-limit circuit, and active NMOS pass transistor with integrated discharge path. Its architecture enables fast load transient response (<100µs settling) and stable operation with 0.47µF ceramic input/output capacitors.
Unlike non-discharge variants (AP7315-xx), the "D" suffix denotes an internal 30Ω discharge FET between VOUT and GND activated when EN = low, reducing residual output voltage to <100mV within 200µs - critical for multi-rail sequencing and power-domain isolation in portable systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±1% - ensures stable core voltage for 2.5V I/O domains without external feedback resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA continuous - supports moderate-power RF ICs, camera sensors, and baseband processors. |
| Dropout Voltage | 280mV @150mA - enables regulation from 2.78V input, compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.8V min) and 3.3V rail down-conversion. |
| PSRR | 75dB @1kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding shared input rails. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - minimizes jitter in clock-sensitive analog circuits like ADCs and RF synthesizers. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA typical - extends battery life in always-on standby modes (e.g., Bluetooth LE receivers). |
| EN Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.5V, VIH ≥ 1.3V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 package (5-pin, 2.9mm × 2.8mm × 1.3mm) with exposed thermal pad; optimized for compact PCB layout and thermal dissipation via GND-connected copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – VIN | Input power supply | Accepts 1.7V–5.25V; requires 0.47µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to minimize input impedance. |
| 2 – GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for input/output currents; must connect directly to low-impedance ground plane. |
| 3 – EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic; floating state disables regulator; internal pull-down not provided - external tie to VIN or MCU GPIO required. |
| 4 – NC | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; recommended to tie to GND for enhanced thermal conduction and EMI shielding. |
| 5 – VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers 2.5V ±1%; includes integrated discharge FET to GND when EN = low, eliminating need for external bleed resistor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-discharge function | 30Ω internal FET discharges VOUT to <100mV in <200µs upon shutdown - prevents back-powering of upstream circuits. |
| Ultra-low noise output | 60µVrms broadband noise enables clean power for RF front-ends and high-resolution audio codecs. |
| High PSRR at low frequency | 75dB rejection at 1kHz allows co-location with noisy buck converters without additional filtering. |
| Low-quiescent-current operation | 35µA IQ supports >1-year battery life in IoT sensor nodes with 10µA average system current. |
| Wide input voltage range | 1.7V–5.25V operation accommodates single-cell Li-ion (2.8–4.2V), USB (4.75–5.25V), and 3.3V/2.5V intermediate rails. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2502E/MB | 250mA rated, 6µA IQ, no enable or discharge; SOT23-3 package | Lacks EN control and auto-discharge; requires external shutdown circuitry | Choose only if ultra-low IQ dominates over sequencing control and footprint is constrained to 3-pin SOT23. |
| Torex XC6219B251MR-G | 200mA rated, 15µA IQ, EN pin, no discharge; SOT25 package | Same pinout but missing discharge FET - needs external 10kΩ bleed resistor for VOUT decay | Select when lower IQ is critical and board space allows discrete discharge solution. |
Compared with MCP1700T-2502E/MB and XC6219B251MR-G, the AP7315D-25W5-7 uniquely combines 150mA capability, 35µA IQ, EN control, and integrated discharge in a standard SOT25 - eliminating design compromises between efficiency, sequencing fidelity, and component count.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the NC pin on AP7315D-25W5-7?
Pin 4 is internally unconnected but thermally and electrically tied to the die substrate. Diodes recommends connecting it to GND on the PCB to improve thermal dissipation through increased copper area and reduce EMI susceptibility. It must never be left floating or driven to a voltage.
Does AP7315D-25W5-7 require an external discharge resistor?
No. The "D" suffix indicates integrated auto-discharge functionality: when EN is pulled low, an internal 30Ω FET connects VOUT to GND, discharging the output capacitor to <100mV within 200µs. This eliminates the need for external bleed resistors and reduces BOM count and board space.
Can AP7315D-25W5-7 operate with input voltage below 2.5V?
Yes. With a 2.5V output, minimum input is 2.78V (2.5V + 280mV dropout @150mA). However, the device functions down to 1.7V input - at reduced output current (e.g., 50mA at 2.0V input) - enabling use in brown-out conditions or multi-voltage rail systems where input may dip temporarily.
How does the AP7315D-25W5-7 handle short-circuit events?
It features fold-back current limiting: during VOUT-to-GND short, output current is clamped to ~55mA (typical), preventing thermal runaway. The regulator remains functional after fault removal and does not latch off - no external reset is needed. Thermal shutdown activates only if junction temperature exceeds 150°C.
