Product details
Overview
AP7335-18WG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 1.8V, 300mA low-dropout linear regulator with 35μA quiescent current, 150mV dropout at full load, 65dB PSRR at 1kHz, and fast 220μs startup-designed for power-sensitive portable electronics including Bluetooth headsets and MP3 players.
For engineers reviewing the AP7335-18WG-7 datasheet, AP7335-18WG-7 pinout, AP7335-18WG-7 application, or AP7335-18WG-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (SOT25), terminal roles (IN/GND/EN/OUT), thermal shutdown threshold (145°C), load transient response data, and real-world selection guidance against comparable LDOs.
Technical Context
The AP7335-18WG-7 integrates a PMOS pass element, bandgap reference, error amplifier, and protection circuitry-including current limit (600mA typ.), short-circuit clamp (140mA), and thermal shutdown (145°C activation / 130°C hysteresis). It operates across 2V–6V input while maintaining regulation down to 1.8V output.
Its architecture enables stable operation with only 1μF ceramic output capacitance (ESR ≥15mΩ), supports no-load regulation, and delivers fast load transient recovery (<100μs undershoot suppression) critical for GSM/TDMA baseband power rails where load steps from 10mA to 300mA occur in <1μs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±2% over –40°C to +85°C ambient; eliminates external resistor divider and associated tolerance stack-up. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous; sufficient for powering ARM Cortex-M0/M3 cores, RF transceivers, and audio codecs in compact wearables. |
| Quiescent Current | 35μA typical at zero load; extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and standby-mode peripherals. |
| Dropout Voltage | 150mV at 300mA (VOUT ≥2.5V); enables 1.8V output from 2.0V Li-ion or 2xAA alkaline sources without brownout risk. |
| PSRR | 65dB at 1kHz; suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters feeding shared input rails. |
| Startup Time | 220μs from EN high-to-VOUT regulation; meets real-time wake-up timing for Bluetooth LE and Zigbee sleep/wake cycles. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at 145°C junction temperature with 15°C hysteresis; prevents permanent damage during sustained 300mA loads in confined SOT25 layouts. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 package (3.0mm × 1.7mm × 1.3mm), RoHS-compliant "Green" molding compound, lead-free finish. Thermal pad not present; θJA = 187°C/W on FR-4 with minimum recommended copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2V–6V; requires ≥1μF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress input ripple and ensure stability. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path for IN, OUT, and EN; must connect directly to PCB ground plane with minimal trace length. |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic interface (VIH ≥1.4V, VIL ≤0.4V); ties to IN for always-on operation or microcontroller GPIO for dynamic power gating. |
| 4 - NC | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating-no PCB trace or solder mask opening required. |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 1.8V; requires ≥1μF ceramic capacitor (ESR ≥15mΩ) placed within 2mm of pin to dampen load transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ | 35μA quiescent current enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell-powered IoT sensors operating at 10μA average load. |
| Fast transient response | Stabilizes within 50μs after 10mA→300mA load step-prevents voltage droop below 1.75V in DSP core supplies during burst processing. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (600mA), short-circuit clamp (140mA), and thermal shutdown (145°C) eliminate need for external fault management circuitry. |
| Minimal external components | Operates stably with only two 1μF ceramic capacitors-reduces BOM count, PCB area, and assembly cost versus legacy LDOs requiring bulk electrolytics. |
| Wide input range | 2V–6V operation supports direct connection to single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), 2xAA (2.0–3.2V), 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, 1.8μA IQ (lower), but 600mV dropout at full load (higher) | Better for ultra-low-power sensor nodes; unsuitable for 300mA burst loads like camera ISPs | Select when IQ <5μA is mandatory and peak current ≤250mA; avoid for fast-transient or high-current apps. |
| Torex XC6206P182MR-G | 300mA max, 1.8V fixed, 1.0μA IQ, but only 45dB PSRR at 1kHz and no thermal shutdown | Lower noise sensitivity; lacks fault protection for industrial or automotive environments | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical consumer devices where PSRR >60dB and thermal safety are not required. |
Compared with MCP1700-1802E/TO and XC6206P182MR-G, the AP7335-18WG-7 uniquely balances 300mA capability, 35μA IQ, 65dB PSRR, and full protection suite-making it optimal for battery-powered systems demanding both efficiency and robustness.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP7335-18WG-7 to maintain 1.8V regulation at 300mA?
The minimum input voltage is 1.95V: calculated as VOUT + VDROP = 1.8V + 150mV. Below this, dropout occurs and output voltage falls proportionally. The device remains functional down to VIN = 2.0V per datasheet operating conditions, ensuring margin for battery voltage sag under load.
Can AP7335-18WG-7 operate without an output capacitor?
No. A minimum 1μF ceramic output capacitor with ESR ≥15mΩ is mandatory for stability and transient response. Omitting it causes oscillation, excessive overshoot/undershoot during load steps, and potential thermal shutdown. The capacitor must be placed within 2mm of the OUT and GND pins.
Is the EN pin internally pulled up or does it require external biasing?
The EN pin has no internal pull-up or pull-down. It must be actively driven: tie to IN for always-on operation, or connect to a microcontroller GPIO capable of meeting VIH ≥1.4V and VIL ≤0.4V thresholds. Floating EN results in undefined output state and possible malfunction.
How does thermal shutdown behave under sustained 300mA load in a standard SOT25 layout?
With θJA = 187°C/W and 25°C ambient, power dissipation PD = (VIN − 1.8V) × 0.3A. At VIN = 4.2V, PD = 0.72W → ΔT = 135°C → TJ ≈ 160°C, triggering shutdown. To avoid cycling, reduce VIN, increase copper area, or use DFN2020-6 (θJA = 251°C/W) for higher power density.
