Product details
Overview
AP7335-18SNG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 1.8V, 300mA low-dropout linear regulator in DFN2020-6 package, featuring 35μA quiescent current, 150mV dropout at full load, 65dB PSRR at 1kHz, and fast 220μs startup - designed for power-sensitive portable applications including Bluetooth headsets and MP3 players.
For engineers reviewing the AP7335-18SNG-7 datasheet, AP7335-18SNG-7 pinout, AP7335-18SNG-7 application, or AP7335-18SNG-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal behavior, EN-controlled enable logic, stability conditions with 1μF ceramic output capacitor, and real-world transient response data for battery-powered system design.
Technical Context
The AP7335-18SNG-7 integrates a PMOS pass element, precision 0.8V bandgap reference, error amplifier, and protection circuitry (current limit, thermal shutdown) in a single-chip LDO architecture. Its fixed 1.8V output eliminates external feedback resistors while maintaining ±2% output accuracy across –40°C to +85°C ambient.
It operates from 2V to 6V input, delivers stable regulation down to zero load, and sustains fast load transient response (10mA ↔ 300mA in <100μs) due to optimized internal compensation - critical for GSM/TDMA baseband power rails where duty-cycled DSP loads demand sub-200mV output deviation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±2% over –40°C to +85°C; enables direct powering of 1.8V I/O domains without resistor network. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous; supports moderate-power RF modules and audio codecs in compact wearables. |
| Quiescent Current | 35μA typical; extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and standby-mode peripherals. |
| Dropout Voltage | 150mV at 300mA (VOUT ≥ 2.5V), 170mV at 300mA (VOUT < 2.5V); allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) down to 2.0V input. |
| PSRR | 65dB at 1kHz; suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding shared input rail. |
| Startup Time | 220μs from EN high to regulated VOUT; meets real-time wake-up timing for Bluetooth LE controllers. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Triggers at 145°C junction temperature with 15°C hysteresis; prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
DFN2020-6 package: 2.0mm × 2.0mm × 0.6mm body, exposed thermal pad, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish, green molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 3) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2V–6V; requires ≥1μF MLCC bypass close to pin to suppress input ripple and ensure stability. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground reference | Common return path for IN, OUT, EN, and thermal pad; must connect to solid ground plane for thermal performance. |
| EN (Pin 1) | Enable control input | Active-high logic interface (VIH = 1.4V min); ties to VIN for always-on operation or microcontroller GPIO for dynamic power gating. |
| OUT (Pin 4) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.8V ±2%; requires ≥1μF ceramic capacitor with ESR >15mΩ directly at pin for transient stability. |
| NC (Pins 5, 6) | No connection | Unbonded terminals; must remain floating - no routing or soldering permitted. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ | 35μA quiescent current enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors. |
| Fast transient response | Stable under 10mA ↔ 300mA load steps with <20mV undershoot/overshoot - validated for GSM baseband ICs. |
| Low-ESR capacitor compatibility | Stable with 1μF ceramic output capacitor (ESR >15mΩ), reducing BOM count and board area vs. legacy LDOs. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (~600mA), short-circuit clamp (~140mA), and thermal shutdown prevent field failures in unattended devices. |
| Wide input range | 2V–6V operation supports single Li-ion, dual alkaline, or USB-powered systems without pre-regulation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-1802E/TO | 250mA max output, 1.8V fixed, 1.6μA IQ (lower), SOT23-5 package | Limited to ultra-low-power sensors; insufficient for 300mA peak loads like audio codecs | Select when IQ <2μA is mandatory and load never exceeds 250mA. |
| Torex XC6219B182MR-G | 300mA, 1.8V fixed, 1.0μA IQ, SOT25 package, 220mV dropout at 300mA | Higher dropout reduces usable input range; larger SOT25 footprint vs. DFN2020-6 | Choose if board layout permits SOT25 and lowest possible IQ outweighs thermal density requirements. |
Compared with MCP1700-1802E/TO and XC6219B182MR-G, the AP7335-18SNG-7 uniquely balances 300mA capability, 35μA IQ, 150mV dropout, and 2.0×2.0mm DFN packaging - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-powered systems requiring both moderate current and long runtime.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable 1.8V output at 300mA?
The AP7335-18SNG-7 requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDropout = 1.8V + 0.15V = 1.95V minimum. However, per datasheet absolute minimum VIN is 2.0V, and recommended operating range starts at 2.0V. At 300mA load and 25°C, dropout is 150mV, so 1.95V is theoretically sufficient - but 2.0V ensures margin across temperature and process variation.
Can the EN pin be left unconnected, or must it be tied high?
The EN pin must not be left floating. It is an active-high digital input with VIH ≥ 1.4V and VIL ≤ 0.4V. For always-on operation, tie EN directly to VIN. For controlled enable/disable, drive it with a GPIO capable of meeting those logic thresholds. Leaving it open risks undefined state and intermittent regulation failure.
Is a minimum load required for output stability?
No minimum load is required. The AP7335-18SNG-7 remains stable and fully regulated from zero load up to 300mA, as confirmed in the datasheet's "No Load Stability" section. This eliminates need for bleed resistors in battery-critical applications.
What is the maximum allowable PCB copper area for the thermal pad in DFN2020-6?
The thermal pad must be soldered to a solid copper plane with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) connecting to inner/ground layers. While no maximum area is specified, Diodes recommends following AP02001 land pattern: 1.45mm × 1.65mm pad with 0.37mm solder mask opening. Excessive copper may impede reflow, but adequate thermal relief improves θJA from 251°C/W toward 120°C/W in production layouts.
