Product details
Overview
AP7315DQ-29W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade 150mA low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 2.9V 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 RF supplies.
For engineers reviewing the AP7315DQ-29W5-7 datasheet, AP7315DQ-29W5-7 pinout, AP7315DQ-29W5-7 application, or AP7315DQ-29W5-7 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 critical for controlled power-down sequencing in automotive ECUs.
Technical Context
The AP7315DQ-29W5-7 uses a CMOS-based LDO architecture with internal N-channel pass transistor and precision bandgap reference. Its enable input (EN) directly controls regulator activation with defined 0–0.5V low and 1.3–5.25V high thresholds, and its integrated discharge path (30Ω typical on-resistance) actively pulls VOUT to GND when disabled.
It achieves stable regulation across 1.7V–5.25V input range while maintaining 2.9V output under 150mA load, with dropout voltage of 0.25V (typ.) at full load. Thermal protection and fold-back short-circuit current limiting (55mA) ensure robust operation in automotive transients and fault conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.9V ±1% - ensures precise biasing for 3.0V-tolerant analog sensors and RF ICs without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA continuous - sufficient for powering single-core microcontrollers, CAN transceivers, or image sensor analog front-ends. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters in multi-rail automotive systems. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - minimizes phase jitter in clocked circuits and preserves SNR in audio/RF signal chains. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA (typ.) - enables always-on monitoring functions in vehicle body control modules with minimal battery drain. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.25V (typ.) at 150mA - allows operation down to 3.15V input, supporting cold-crank scenarios in 12V automotive systems. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C ambient - meets under-hood and cabin ECU thermal requirements per AEC-Q100 Grade 1. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin small-outline transistor) package with matte tin-plated leads, moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020, and 0.016g mass.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | Main power input; accepts 1.7V–5.25V; requires ≥0.47µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must connect to low-impedance PCB ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 | EN | Active-high enable; logic threshold 1.3V min / 0.5V max; floating prohibited-tie to VIN if always-on operation required. |
| 4 | NC | No internal connection; electrically isolated; must remain unconnected in PCB layout. |
| 5 | VOUT | Regulated 2.9V output; includes integrated discharge FET (30Ω typ.) that sinks current to GND when EN = low. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive Qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, PPAP-capable, manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities-enables direct use in safety-critical ECU designs. |
| Output Discharge | Integrated 30Ω discharge FET activates automatically on disable-eliminates need for external bleed resistor and ensures rapid, controlled VOUT decay. |
| High PSRR & Low Noise | 75dB ripple rejection at 1kHz + 60µVrms noise-preserves signal integrity in RF supply rails for GNSS receivers and cellular modems. |
| Ultra-Low IQ | 35µA quiescent current-extends battery life in always-on telematics and remote keyless entry modules during sleep mode. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7315Q-29W5-7 | No output discharge circuit; EN pin functional but VOUT floats on disable. | Suitable where fast VOUT decay is unnecessary and external discharge is acceptable. | Select when cost optimization is prioritized and system-level discharge is already implemented. |
| TLD1120-1EP | 200mA rated, 2.0V dropout at 150mA, no integrated discharge, wider temp range (−40°C to +150°C). | Targeted at LED driver bias rails; lacks automotive-specific qualification documentation. | Choose only if higher current headroom is needed and AEC-Q100 compliance is not mandatory. |
Compared with AP7315Q-29W5-7, the AP7315DQ-29W5-7 adds essential discharge functionality for automotive power sequencing, while TLD1120-1EP trades qualification rigor for marginally higher current capability-neither matches the combined PSRR/noise/qualification profile of the AP7315DQ variant.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the NC pin on AP7315DQ-29W5-7?
Pin 4 is designated NC (No Connection) and has no internal electrical connection. It must remain unconnected in the PCB layout-neither tied to GND nor left floating. This pin exists solely for mechanical symmetry and package compatibility within the SOT25 footprint; routing traces or vias to it may compromise thermal performance or cause unintended coupling.
Does AP7315DQ-29W5-7 require an external discharge resistor?
No. The AP7315DQ-29W5-7 integrates an internal N-channel discharge FET (30Ω typical on-resistance) between VOUT and GND, activated automatically when EN is pulled low. This eliminates the need for external bleed resistors, reduces BOM count, and ensures consistent discharge timing across temperature and process variation-critical for deterministic power-down in automotive systems.
Can AP7315DQ-29W5-7 operate with input voltage below 2.9V?
No. With a fixed 2.9V output, the device requires minimum input voltage of 3.15V (2.9V + 0.25V typical dropout) to maintain regulation at 150mA load. At lighter loads, dropout decreases (e.g., ~0.15V at 10mA), allowing operation down to ~3.05V-but sustained sub-3.15V input will cause output collapse. For lower-input applications, consider AP7315DQ-25W5-7 (2.5V output) instead.
How does the AP7315DQ-29W5-7 handle short-circuit events?
When VOUT is shorted to GND, the device activates fold-back current limiting, clamping output current to approximately 55mA. This protects the regulator from thermal runaway and damage while maintaining safe junction temperature. Recovery is automatic upon short removal-no latch or reset required-and the EN pin retains full control over subsequent enable/disable cycles.
