Product details
Overview
AP7315DQ-12W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade 150mA low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 1.2V output, enable control, and integrated output discharge. It delivers ±1% output voltage accuracy, 75dB PSRR at 1kHz, 60µVrms output noise (10Hz–100kHz), and ultra-low 35µA quiescent current. Designed for noise-sensitive automotive power rails including ADAS camera sensors and infotainment subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the AP7315DQ-12W5-7 datasheet, AP7315DQ-12W5-7 pinout, AP7315DQ-12W5-7 application, or AP7315DQ-12W5-7 equivalent, this LDO supports AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, operates from −40°C to +125°C ambient, features SOT25 packaging with verified 5-pin terminal mapping, and provides validated discharge functionality for fast VOUT ramp-down during shutdown.
Technical Context
The AP7315DQ-12W5-7 uses a CMOS-based LDO architecture with internal N-channel pass transistor and precision bandgap reference. Its enable input (EN) controls regulation state with defined 0–0.5V low threshold and 1.3–5.25V high threshold, and its built-in discharge path (30Ω typical on-resistance) actively pulls VOUT to GND when disabled.
It maintains stable operation with 0.47µF ceramic input/output capacitors, achieves 0.38V typical dropout at 150mA for 1.2V output, and sustains 75dB ripple rejection across 1kHz while operating over 1.7V–5.25V input range - critical for automotive battery-supplied systems with wide VIN transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2V ±1% - ensures precise biasing for low-voltage microcontrollers and image sensors without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA continuous - sufficient for powering single-core MCUs, CAN transceivers, or small FPGA I/O banks in automotive modules. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding infotainment or ADAS domain controllers. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - preserves signal integrity in RF receiver supply rails and analog sensor front-ends. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA typical - enables always-on functionality in vehicle body electronics with <10µA system standby budgets. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.50V max at 150mA - allows operation down to 1.7V input, supporting cold-crank scenarios in 12V automotive systems. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C ambient - meets under-hood and cabin-mounted ECU thermal requirements per AEC-Q100 Grade 1. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin, 2.8mm × 2.9mm × 1.3mm) package with matte tin-plated leads, moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020, and 0.016g unit weight.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VIN | Power Input | Accepts 1.7V–5.25V unregulated input; requires local 0.47µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 2 GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for input/output current; must connect directly to low-impedance ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 EN | Enable Control | Active-high logic input; drives regulator ON when ≥1.3V, OFF when ≤0.5V; must not float - tie to VIN if unused. |
| 4 NC | No Connection | Internally unconnected; no PCB trace or pad required - leave floating per manufacturer recommendation. |
| 5 VOUT | Regulated Output | Delivers 1.2V ±1% to load; includes integrated 30Ω discharge FET to rapidly drain output capacitance upon disable. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 Qualified | Validated for −40°C to +125°C operation in automotive environments, supporting PPAP documentation and IATF 16949 manufacturing. |
| Integrated Output Discharge | 30Ω typical on-resistance discharge path ensures VOUT falls to GND within microseconds after EN deactivation - prevents back-powering of downstream circuitry. |
| High PSRR & Low Noise | 75dB rejection at 1kHz and 60µVrms broadband noise enable clean power delivery to RF receivers and high-resolution ADCs. |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 35µA typical IQ allows use in always-on domains (e.g., door module wake-up circuits) without compromising battery life. |
| Stable with Small Ceramic Caps | Guaranteed stability with 0.47µF X7R/X5R ceramic output capacitor - eliminates need for bulk electrolytics and saves board space. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7315Q-12W5-7 | No output discharge function; EN pin identical; same electrical specs except discharge path omitted. | Used where rapid VOUT discharge is unnecessary, e.g., non-critical logic rails without back-powering risk. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs discharge requirement and system layout isolates VOUT from other supplies. |
| TLD1120FV | 200mA rated, 1.2V fixed, AEC-Q100 Grade 1, but higher 55µA IQ and 65dB PSRR at 1kHz. | Targeted at LED driver bias rails; lacks dedicated discharge FET and has different thermal footprint (HTSOP-8). | Choose only if higher current headroom is needed and board space allows larger HTSOP-8 package; verify EN compatibility. |
Compared with AP7315Q-12W5-7, the AP7315DQ-12W5-7 adds critical discharge capability for safety-critical shutdown sequences, while TLD1120FV trades off noise performance and package size for marginally higher current - making the AP7315DQ-12W5-7 optimal for compact, noise-sensitive automotive LDO applications requiring guaranteed VOUT collapse.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the NC pin (Pin 4) on AP7315DQ-12W5-7?
Pin 4 is a no-connect terminal with no internal connection. It must remain unconnected on the PCB - no trace, pad, or solder mask opening is required. This pin exists solely for mechanical symmetry in the SOT25 package and does not affect electrical performance or thermal behavior.
Can AP7315DQ-12W5-7 operate with input voltage below 1.7V?
No. The absolute minimum input voltage is 1.7V per datasheet specifications. Operation below this threshold risks loss of regulation, increased dropout, or failure to maintain 1.2V output. During automotive cold-crank events, ensure upstream supply remains ≥1.7V or implement brown-out detection before enabling the LDO.
How does the output discharge function behave during EN deactivation?
When EN is pulled low, the internal 30Ω discharge FET activates immediately, sinking current from VOUT to GND. This discharges typical 1–10µF output capacitance in <100µs, preventing back-powering of upstream regulators or unintended logic states in downstream ICs during power-down sequencing.
Is AP7315DQ-12W5-7 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes. It is fully RoHS 3 compliant, halogen- and antimony-free, and qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020. The SOT25 package supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C (MSL Level 1), with matte tin plating ensuring reliable solderability using standard SnAgCu paste and profile.
