Product details
Overview
AP7315D-30FS4-7B from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0V fixed-output, 150mA low-dropout linear regulator with integrated discharge function, ±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 stable power to RF supply rails in portable wireless devices.
For engineers reviewing the AP7315D-30FS4-7B datasheet, AP7315D-30FS4-7B pinout, AP7315D-30FS4-7B application, or AP7315D-30FS4-7B equivalent, key selection criteria include enable-controlled shutdown, ultra-low quiescent current (35µA typ), thermal performance in X2-DFN1010-4, and discharge capability for fast VOUT decay during disable.
Technical Context
The AP7315D-30FS4-7B integrates a CMOS-based error amplifier, precision voltage reference, current-limit circuit, and active discharge NMOS (30Ω typical) tied to the EN pin. Its architecture enables fast transient response and stable operation with only 0.47µF ceramic input/output capacitors.
It supports full enable control: EN ≥1.3V enables regulation; EN ≤0.5V disables output and activates internal discharge path from VOUT to GND. Dropout voltage is 210mV max at 150mA for VOUT = 3.0V, enabling efficient operation in battery-powered systems with tight VIN margins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0V ±1% - ensures precise biasing for 3.0V logic, RF ICs, and sensor interfaces without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - sufficient for powering baseband processors, Wi-Fi/BT transceivers, or camera modules in compact handheld designs. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from PMICs or DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input, critical for RF supply integrity. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - minimizes phase noise in local oscillators and jitter in high-speed serial links. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA typical - extends battery life in always-on subsystems such as Bluetooth LE receivers or wake-on-RF circuits. |
| Dropout Voltage | 210mV max at 150mA - allows operation down to VIN = 3.21V, supporting single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) and Li-polymer applications. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(H) = 1.3V min, VEN(L) = 0.5V max - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIOs and supports direct microcontroller control without level-shifting. |
| Discharge Resistance | 30Ω typical - discharges 10µF load in <330µs (τ = R×C), preventing residual voltage from interfering with system reset sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
AP7315D-30FS4-7B uses the X2-DFN1010-4 (1.0mm × 1.0mm, 0.4mm pitch) package with wettable flank terminations for automated optical inspection. Thermal pad is exposed on bottom and 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 capacitor placed adjacent to minimize input impedance and suppress supply glitches. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Primary return path for input/output current; must connect directly to thermal pad and system ground plane to reduce noise coupling. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control input | CMOS-compatible digital input; drives regulator ON/OFF and activates internal discharge NMOS when pulled low. |
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Regulated output | Delivers 3.0V ±1% to load; output capacitor (0.47µF ceramic) must be placed within 2mm of VOUT/GND pins for stability. |
| Thermal Pad | Thermal conduction path | Not electrically functional; soldered to large copper area tied to GND for thermal management-no electrical connection required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Active Output Discharge | 30Ω internal NMOS discharges VOUT to GND upon disable-eliminates need for external bleed resistor and ensures clean power-down sequencing. |
| Ultra-Low Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) enables use in noise-sensitive analog/RF blocks without additional filtering stages. |
| High PSRR at Low Frequencies | 75dB at 1kHz maintains clean 3.0V rail even when powered from noisy buck converter outputs (e.g., 1MHz switching with 1kHz ripple). |
| Low Quiescent Current | 35µA typical at no load-reduces standby power loss by >90% vs. legacy LDOs, critical for multi-week battery life in IoT sensors. |
| Wide Input Range | 1.7–5.25V input supports direct connection to single-cell Li-ion, USB VBUS, or intermediate 3.3V/5V rails without pre-regulation. |
| Small Footprint | X2-DFN1010-4 (1.0mm × 1.0mm) saves >65% board area vs. SOT23-3, enabling dense layouts in smartphones and wearables. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3.0V, 150mA LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-3002E/MB | No discharge function; 2.0µA IQ; 600mV dropout at 250mA; SOT23-3 package | Lacks active discharge-requires external resistor for VOUT decay; higher dropout limits use in low-VIN battery apps | Select when ultra-low IQ dominates over fast shutdown and footprint is not constrained. |
| Torex XC6210B302MR-G | Discharge enabled; 1.0µA IQ; 250mV dropout at 100mA; SOT25-5 package with NC pin | Lower IQ but larger SOT25 footprint; NC pin adds routing complexity vs. 4-pin DFN | Select when sub-µA standby is mandatory and board space permits SOT25 layout. |
Compared with MCP1700-3002E/MB and XC6210B302MR-G, AP7315D-30FS4-7B uniquely balances discharge functionality, 35µA IQ, 210mV dropout, and 1.0mm² footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, fast-wake-up portable RF systems.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the thermal pad on the AP7315D-30FS4-7B?
The exposed thermal pad on the X2-DFN1010-4 package is a non-electrical thermal conduction path. It must be soldered to a PCB copper area connected to GND (or left floating) to dissipate heat-improving thermal resistance by up to 40% versus pad omission. It is not a functional ground terminal and carries no current.
Does AP7315D-30FS4-7B require an external discharge resistor?
No. The "D" suffix denotes integrated discharge functionality: when EN is pulled low, an internal 30Ω NMOS connects VOUT to GND, actively discharging output capacitance. This eliminates the need for external bleed resistors and ensures predictable, rapid VOUT decay (<330µs for 10µF).
Can AP7315D-30FS4-7B operate with a 0.47µF ceramic output capacitor only?
Yes. The device is internally compensated and stable with 0.47µF ±20% X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors (ESR <10mΩ). Larger bulk capacitors (e.g., 10µF tantalum) may be added in parallel for high-dV/dt loads, but are not required for basic stability per datasheet validation.
How does the AP7315D-30FS4-7B behave during input undervoltage?
When VIN drops below the minimum operating voltage (1.7V), the LDO enters dropout and VOUT tracks VIN minus dropout voltage. Below ~1.4V, the internal reference shuts down and EN becomes ineffective-output collapses passively. No reverse-current blocking is provided; external Schottky diode is recommended if backfeed risk exists.
