Product details
Overview
AP7341-12FS4-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 300mA, 1.2V fixed-output low-dropout linear regulator with ±1% output voltage accuracy, 75dB PSRR at 1kHz, 60µVrms output noise (10Hz–100kHz), and 35µA quiescent current - designed for RF supply and portable media subsystems in space-constrained handheld devices.
For engineers reviewing the AP7341-12FS4-7 datasheet, AP7341-12FS4-7 pinout, AP7341-12FS4-7 application, or AP7341-12FS4-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 150mA (0.50–0.62V), enable threshold compatibility (EN high ≥1.3V), thermal pad layout requirements, and ceramic capacitor stability with ESR <100mΩ.
Technical Context
The AP7341-12FS4-7 integrates a CMOS-based error amplifier, precision voltage reference, current-limit circuit, and active-high enable control. Its architecture delivers fast load transient response (<100µs settling) and maintains regulation down to 1.7V input across –40°C to +85°C ambient.
It employs a low-RDS(on) N-channel pass transistor enabling 0.21–0.27V dropout at 300mA for VOUT = 3.3V, scaled proportionally for 1.2V output. The thermal pad (exposed copper under package) must be connected to GND or large copper pour for 400mW power dissipation handling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2V ±1% at +25°C; ±1.5% over –40°C to +85°C - ensures stable core logic or sensor biasing without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA guaranteed - supports single-core microcontrollers, camera ISPs, or Bluetooth SoCs with burst-mode loads. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding RF front-ends or ADC references. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - preserves SNR in audio codecs and high-resolution image sensors. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA typical - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and wearable standby modes. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.50–0.62V at 150mA (1.1V ≤ VOUT < 1.5V range) - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) or two-cell alkaline (2.4V min) sources. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(H) ≥1.3V, VEN(L) ≤0.5V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
X2-DFN1010-4 package: 1.0mm × 1.0mm footprint, 0.4mm height, exposed thermal pad (Pin 5, not electrically connected - must be soldered to GND plane).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PIN1 | VOUT | Regulated 1.2V power output - requires low-inductance ceramic capacitor (≥1.0µF) placed within 2mm of pin. |
| PIN2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must connect directly to thermal pad and system ground plane with multiple vias. |
| PIN3 | EN | Active-high enable - floating prohibited; tie to VIN for always-on operation or drive with MCU GPIO for sequenced power-up. |
| PIN4 | VIN | Input supply (1.7–5.25V) - requires 0.47µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin with short trace to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low noise output | 60µVrms enables clean power for RF synthesizers and high-speed ADCs without additional filtering. |
| High PSRR at 1kHz | 75dB rejection of PMIC ripple allows co-location with noisy buck converters on compact PCBs. |
| Low quiescent current | 35µA operation supports >1-year battery life in IoT endpoint sleep modes (e.g., BLE beacon interval). |
| Small-footprint packaging | X2-DFN1010-4 (1.0×1.0mm) reduces board area by 60% vs. SOT-23, critical for smartphone camera modules. |
| Thermal-enhanced layout | Exposed thermal pad improves θJA to 220°C/W (JEDEC High-K board), enabling 300mA continuous output at +60°C ambient. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1202E/TT | 250mA max output, 6µVrms noise (lower), but only 60dB PSRR at 1kHz and no enable pin. | Lacks EN control and lower PSRR limits use in RF-coupled systems; better suited for ultra-low-noise analog sensors only. | Select when noise is primary constraint and enable sequencing is unnecessary. |
| Torex XC6210B122MR-G | 300mA output, 1.2V ±2% accuracy, 45µA IQ, but 65dB PSRR and no thermal pad - θJA = 320°C/W. | Higher thermal resistance restricts continuous 300mA operation above +45°C ambient; unsuitable for enclosed handheld enclosures. | Select for cost-sensitive consumer wearables with moderate temperature rise and no RF proximity. |
Compared with MCP1700T-1202E/TT and XC6210B122MR-G, the AP7341-12FS4-7 uniquely balances 300mA capability, 75dB PSRR, 35µA IQ, and thermal-pad-enabled reliability - making it optimal for thermally dense, RF-integrated portable designs where all three parameters are simultaneously required.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP7341-12FS4-7 to maintain regulation at 300mA load?
The AP7341-12FS4-7 requires VIN ≥ (VOUT + dropout voltage). At 300mA and 1.2V output, dropout is 0.50–0.62V per datasheet Table 2, so minimum VIN is 1.70–1.82V. Operation below 1.7V violates Recommended Operating Conditions and may cause output collapse.
Can the thermal pad be left unconnected in the PCB layout?
No. The exposed thermal pad (Pin 5) must be soldered to a GND-connected copper pour using ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter). Leaving it unconnected degrades θJA by >80°C/W, risking thermal shutdown at >150mA in still-air conditions per JEDEC test board data.
Does AP7341-12FS4-7 include reverse-current protection or output discharge functionality?
No. The AP7341-12FS4-7 is the non-discharge version (no 'D' suffix). When disabled via EN, the output remains floating - external bleed resistor or dedicated discharge FET is required if rapid VOUT decay is needed for system sequencing.
What ceramic capacitor characteristics are mandatory for stable operation?
A 1.0µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor with ESR <100mΩ is required at VOUT. Per Figure 1 and Application Information, capacitance tolerance must be ±20%, and placement must be within 2mm of VOUT/GND pins with direct low-inductance ground return path.
