Product details
Overview
AP7315D-295FS4-7B from Diodes Incorporated is a 2.95V 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 features CMOS-based architecture, 35µA quiescent current, and integrated auto-discharge functionality - designed for RF supply rails in compact portable devices.
For engineers reviewing the AP7315D-295FS4-7B datasheet, AP7315D-295FS4-7B pinout, AP7315D-295FS4-7B application, or AP7315D-295FS4-7B equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (210mV @ 150mA), thermal performance in X2-DFN1010-4 package, EN logic thresholds (0.5VIL/1.3VIH), and discharge path resistance (30Ω typical).
Technical Context
The AP7315D-295FS4-7B implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with internal voltage reference, error amplifier, current-limit circuitry, and active discharge FET. Its enable input controls both regulation and output discharge, eliminating residual voltage on shutdown.
It operates across 1.7V–5.25V input range, delivers stable 2.95V output up to 150mA, and maintains ±1% accuracy over -40°C to +85°C ambient. The built-in discharge path (30Ω typical) ensures rapid VOUT decay when EN is pulled low, critical for power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.95V ±1% - ensures precise biasing for 3.0V-tolerant RF ICs and sensors without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - supports moderate-power analog blocks (e.g., RF transceivers, camera ISPs) without thermal derating in X2-DFN1010-4. |
| Dropout Voltage | 210mV @ 150mA - enables operation from 3.16V input (e.g., single-cell Li-ion post-LDO), minimizing headroom loss. |
| PSRR | 75dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding noisy system rails. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - preserves signal integrity in sensitive analog front-ends (e.g., ADC references, PLL VCO supplies). |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA typical - extends battery life in always-on subsystems (e.g., Bluetooth LE receivers, sensor hubs). |
| Enable Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.5V, VIH ≥ 1.3V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIOs without level-shifting. |
| Discharge Resistance | 30Ω typical - discharges 10µF load to <100mV in <300µs, satisfying fast power-down requirements. |
Pinout & Package
AP7315D-295FS4-7B uses the X2-DFN1010-4 (1.0mm × 1.0mm, 0.4mm pitch) package with wettable flank leads for automated optical inspection. Thermal pad must be connected to PCB ground plane 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; requires 0.47µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Primary return path for load current and regulator core; connects to thermal pad for heat sinking. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control input | Active-high logic: drives high (>1.3V) to enable, low (<0.5V) to disable + activate discharge FET. |
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Regulated output | Delivers 2.95V ±1%; requires 0.47µF ceramic output capacitor close to pin for stability. |
| Thermal Pad | Thermal & mechanical anchor | Not electrically functional; must be soldered to large GND copper area for thermal management. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-discharge function | 30Ω internal NMOS discharge path ensures rapid VOUT collapse during shutdown - eliminates need for external bleed resistor. |
| Ultra-low noise output | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) enables clean power for RF synthesizers and high-resolution ADCs without additional filtering. |
| High PSRR at low frequency | 75dB @ 1kHz rejects ripple from buck converter switching frequencies and their harmonics near baseband. |
| Low quiescent current | 35µA typical allows >1-year battery life in coin-cell-powered IoT sensors operating in deep-sleep mode. |
| Wide input voltage range | 1.7–5.25V supports direct connection to single Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), USB (4.75–5.25V), or regulated 3.3V/2.5V rails. |
| ±1% output accuracy | Guaranteed over temperature (-40°C to +85°C) and line/load conditions - reduces margining overhead in precision analog designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3002E/MB | 3.0V output, 250mA rating, no enable or discharge; 17µA IQ, 65dB PSRR @ 1kHz | Lacks EN control and discharge - requires external pull-up and bleed resistor for sequencing. | Select when lowest IQ is critical and discharge not required; verify 3.0V vs. 2.95V tolerance in target ICs. |
| Torex XC6210B295MR-G | 2.95V output, 150mA, EN pin, no discharge; 25µA IQ, 70dB PSRR @ 1kHz, 40µVrms noise | No auto-discharge - slower VOUT decay risks latch-up in cascaded power domains. | Choose for lower noise (40µVrms) and IQ where discharge is managed externally or unnecessary. |
Compared with MCP1700T-3002E/MB and XC6210B295MR-G, AP7315D-295FS4-7B uniquely integrates discharge functionality while maintaining competitive noise (60µVrms) and PSRR (75dB), making it optimal for space-constrained, multi-rail portable systems requiring clean, sequenced power-down.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the thermal pad on the X2-DFN1010-4 package?
The thermal pad on AP7315D-295FS4-7B is a non-electrical mechanical and thermal interface. It must be soldered to a large PCB copper area connected to GND to dissipate heat effectively. Leaving it unconnected degrades θJA by >100°C/W and risks thermal shutdown under 150mA load.
Does the AP7315D-295FS4-7B require an external discharge resistor?
No. The "D" suffix denotes integrated auto-discharge functionality. When EN is pulled low, an internal 30Ω NMOS FET actively discharges VOUT to GND, eliminating the need for external components and reducing BOM count and PCB area.
Can AP7315D-295FS4-7B operate with a 1.8V input supply?
No. The minimum input voltage is 1.7V, but dropout voltage at 150mA is 210mV for 2.95V output - requiring ≥3.16V input to maintain regulation. At 1.8V input, the device enters dropout and cannot sustain 2.95V output.
How does the EN pin behave during power-up sequences?
The EN pin has no internal pull-up/down. If left floating during power-up, the regulator may power on unpredictably. For reliable startup, tie EN to VIN via a 100kΩ resistor or drive it actively from a GPIO after VIN stabilizes to >1.7V.
