Product details
Overview
AP7315D-31W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 150mA low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 3.1V output, ±1% accuracy, 75dB PSRR at 1kHz, 60µVrms output noise (10Hz–100kHz), and 35µA quiescent current - designed for RF supply rails in portable wireless communication devices using SOT25 packaging.
For engineers reviewing the AP7315D-31W5-7 datasheet, AP7315D-31W5-7 pinout, AP7315D-31W5-7 application, or AP7315D-31W5-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal layout guidance, enable control thresholds, dropout behavior across temperature, and real-world ESR-stability boundaries for ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP7315D-31W5-7 integrates a CMOS-based error amplifier, precision voltage reference, current-limit circuit, and active discharge path activated during shutdown. Its architecture enables fast load transient response (<100µs settling) while maintaining stability with 0.47µF ceramic output capacitance.
It operates across 1.7V–5.25V input range, delivers regulated 3.1V ±1% output up to 150mA, and features an enable pin (EN) with 0–0.5V logic-low shutdown threshold and 1.3–5.25V logic-high activation range - supporting controlled power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.1V ±1% at +25°C; ensures stable bias for 3.3V-tolerant RF ICs without external feedback network. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA guaranteed; supports moderate-power RF front-end stages and baseband processors in handheld devices. |
| 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 LNA supply domains. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA typical; extends battery life in always-on receiver modes of Bluetooth/Wi-Fi modules. |
| Dropout Voltage | 210mV at 150mA (for VOUT = 3.1V); enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) with margin. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(H) ≥ 1.3V, VEN(L) ≤ 0.5V; 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; requires PCB copper area connected to GND for thermal dissipation. Pin 4 is NC (not connected internally); recommended tied to GND for improved thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Input power supply | Accepts 1.7–5.25V; must be decoupled with ≥0.47µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground reference | Primary return path; connects to system ground plane to minimize impedance-induced output ripple. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control input | Logic-controlled on/off; floating state prohibited - tie to VIN if always-on operation required. |
| NC (Pin 4) | No internal connection | Not bonded; recommended connected to GND to maximize PCB copper area for thermal conduction. |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | Delivers 3.1V ±1%; requires 0.47µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of pin for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Active discharge path | 30Ω on-resistance when disabled; discharges VOUT to GND within µs-scale, preventing back-powering of downstream circuits. |
| Low-noise regulation | 60µVrms broadband noise; meets stringent spectral purity requirements for RF synthesizer and mixer bias rails. |
| High PSRR at audio frequencies | 75dB @ 1kHz; rejects ripple from buck converter switching harmonics below 10kHz critical for analog signal chains. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 35µA typical; reduces standby power loss by >50% vs. legacy LDOs, enabling longer sleep-mode duration. |
| Thermal-enhanced SOT25 | Exposed thermal pad with GND connection; achieves 150°C/W junction-to-ambient θJA on 2-layer 1oz Cu board. |
Applications
| RF Power Amplifier Bias | Wi-Fi/BT Baseband Core Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-3102E/TO | 300mA rated, 2µA IQ, no enable pin, no discharge, TO-92 package | Lacks EN control and active discharge; unsuitable for sequenced or low-standby-power systems | Select only for cost-sensitive, always-on, low-current (<50mA) applications where footprint and enable are non-critical |
| Torex XC6210B312MR-G | 200mA rated, 1µA IQ, 45dB PSRR @ 1kHz, SOT25, no discharge | Lower PSRR and no discharge path; higher noise (120µVrms) limits RF use | Acceptable for digital core supplies where noise and sequencing are secondary; avoid for RF/analog rails |
Compared with MCP1700-3102E/TO and XC6210B312MR-G, the AP7315D-31W5-7 uniquely combines RF-grade PSRR/noise performance, enable control, and active discharge in a thermally optimized SOT25 - making it the only viable choice for space-constrained, low-noise, sequenced RF power delivery.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP7315D-31W5-7 to maintain regulation at full 150mA load?
The minimum input voltage is determined by dropout: at 150mA and 3.1V output, typical dropout is 210mV, so VIN must be ≥3.31V. Absolute minimum VIN per datasheet is 1.7V, but regulation fails below 3.31V under full load. For reliable 150mA operation, design with VIN ≥3.4V.
Does AP7315D-31W5-7 require an external discharge resistor, or is the discharge path fully integrated?
The "D" suffix denotes integrated active discharge: when EN is pulled low, an internal 30Ω NMOS switch connects VOUT to GND, discharging the output capacitor without external components. No external resistor is needed - this distinguishes it from non-D variants like AP7315-31W5-7.
Can AP7315D-31W5-7 be used with 1µF ceramic output capacitors, or is 0.47µF the strict maximum?
Yes - the device is stable with 0.47µF to 10µF ceramic capacitors. The 0.47µF value is the *minimum* recommended for stability; larger values (e.g., 1µF) improve transient response and reduce output ripple, especially under dynamic load steps common in RF burst transmission.
How does the NC pin (Pin 4) affect thermal performance, and what is the recommended PCB layout for it?
Pin 4 is unconnected internally but occupies die area adjacent to the thermal pad. Connecting it to GND increases copper area under the package, improving heat conduction from the exposed pad. Layout best practice: flood Pin 4 and the thermal pad with a solid GND pour, using ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) to inner GND planes.
