Product details
Overview
AP7340D-12FS4-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.2V fixed-output, 150mA low-dropout linear regulator with ±1% output accuracy, 75dB PSRR at 1kHz, 60µVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz), and 35µA quiescent current. It features enable control, thermal shutdown, short-circuit protection, and an integrated discharge FET for rapid VOUT discharge during shutdown-designed for RF supply rails in portable wireless communication devices.
For engineers reviewing the AP7340D-12FS4-7 datasheet, AP7340D-12FS4-7 pinout, AP7340D-12FS4-7 application, or AP7340D-12FS4-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 150mA (0.38V typ. for 1.2V output), EN logic thresholds (0.5VIL/1.3VIH), thermal pad layout requirements, and compatibility with 0.47µF ceramic input/output capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP7340D-12FS4-7 employs a CMOS-based LDO architecture with a precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and current-limit circuit. Its built-in auto-discharge NMOS (30Ω typical on-resistance) actively pulls VOUT to GND when EN is low-eliminating residual voltage hold-up in power sequencing-critical systems.
It operates across 1.7V–5.25V input range with guaranteed 150mA output, supports fast load transient response (<100µs settling time), and maintains stability with minimal 0.47µF ceramic capacitors due to optimized internal compensation-no external compensation required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2V ±1% (25°C), ±1.5% (–40°C to +85°C) - ensures stable core bias for low-voltage RF ICs |
| Max Output Current | 150mA continuous - sufficient for single-band RF transceivers or camera sensor analog rails |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding noisy system rails |
| Output Noise | 60µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) - preserves SNR in sensitive RF front-end and ADC reference paths |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA (typ.) - enables >1-year battery life in always-on IoT sensor nodes with periodic wake-up |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.38V (typ.) at 150mA - allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) down to 1.58V input |
| Enable Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.5V, VIH ≥ 1.3V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activated at TJ ≈ 150°C - protects against sustained overload in compact PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
X2-DFN1010-4 package: 1.0mm × 1.0mm footprint, 0.4mm height, wettable flank leads, exposed thermal pad (connected to GND for optimal thermal performance).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Regulated power output | Delivers clean 1.2V; requires 0.47µF ceramic capacitor placed <1mm from pin to minimize ESR-induced instability |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground reference | Must connect directly to PCB ground plane; shares thermal pad connection to reduce junction-to-board θJA |
| EN (Pin 3) | Active-high enable control | Pulled high (>1.3V) to activate regulator; pulled low (<0.5V) to disable with active discharge of VOUT |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 1.7V–5.25V; requires 0.47µF decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress supply ripple |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated discharge FET | 30Ω typical on-resistance enables <100µs VOUT discharge to <0.1V after EN deactivation-critical for power sequencing in multi-rail SoC systems |
| Ultra-low noise output | 60µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) meets stringent RF PLL and VCO supply requirements without additional filtering |
| High PSRR at low frequency | 75dB at 1kHz suppresses ripple from buck converter switching frequencies and their harmonics |
| Wide input voltage range | 1.7V–5.25V supports direct connection to single-cell Li-ion, USB VBUS, or intermediate DC/DC outputs |
| ±1% output accuracy | Tight tolerance ensures reliable operation of 1.2V core supplies for ARM Cortex-M0+/M4 microcontrollers and RF transceivers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-1202E/TO | 1.2V, 250mA, 6µA IQ, no enable or discharge FET, TO-92 package | Larger footprint, no power sequencing control, unsuitable for space-constrained RF modules | Choose only if board area and sequencing are non-critical and ultra-low IQ dominates design priority |
| Torex XC6210B122MR-G | 1.2V, 150mA, 35µA IQ, enable pin, no discharge FET, SOT-25 package | Larger 2.9mm × 2.8mm footprint, lacks active VOUT discharge-requires external circuitry for clean shutdown | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs board area constraints and discharge functionality is handled externally |

FAQ
What is the function of the thermal pad on the AP7340D-12FS4-7 package?
The exposed thermal pad on the X2-DFN1010-4 package must be soldered to a PCB copper area connected to GND. This reduces thermal resistance (θJA) by up to 40°C/W versus floating pad, enabling 150mA operation at +85°C ambient without derating. Do not use it as sole GND electrode-connect via multiple vias to inner ground planes.
Does the AP7340D-12FS4-7 require external capacitors, and what values are validated?
Yes: a minimum 0.47µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor is required between VIN and GND, and another 0.47µF between VOUT and GND. These values are validated for stability across –40°C to +85°C and ensure <100µs transient response. Place both capacitors within 1mm of respective pins using wide, low-inductance traces.
How does the discharge FET in the 'D' variant differ from the standard AP7340?
The AP7340D-12FS4-7 integrates an NMOS discharge switch (30Ω typ.) between VOUT and GND, activated automatically when EN is low. Standard AP7340 lacks this feature-its VOUT floats after shutdown, risking unintended biasing of downstream circuitry. The D-variant eliminates need for external bleed resistors in power-sequenced systems.
Can the AP7340D-12FS4-7 operate from a 1.8V input while delivering 150mA at 1.2V?
Yes: with 1.8V input, dropout is 0.38V (typ.), leaving 1.42V at VOUT-well above the 1.2V nominal output. At 150mA load, actual VOUT remains within ±1.5% tolerance (1.182V–1.218V) across temperature. Input must stay ≥1.7V to guarantee regulation; below that, output collapses.
