Product details
Overview
AP7342D-3318FS6-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual-channel, CMOS-based low-dropout linear regulator with independent enable control per channel, delivering fixed 3.3V and 1.8V outputs at up to 150mA each. It features ±1% output voltage accuracy over temperature, 75dB PSRR at 1kHz, 60µVrms output noise (10Hz–100kHz), and ultra-low 35µA quiescent current in single-channel active mode. Designed for RF supply rails and portable media subsystems, it operates from 1.7V to 5.25V input and uses the X2-DFN1212-6 package for space-constrained PCB layouts.
For engineers reviewing the AP7342D-3318FS6-7 datasheet, AP7342D-3318FS6-7 pinout, AP7342D-3318FS6-7 application, or AP7342D-3318FS6-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail sequencing capability, low-noise performance for analog/RF stages, thermal dissipation limits in DFN1212, and compatibility with 0.47µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP7342D-3318FS6-7 integrates two independent LDO regulators sharing a common input and ground, each with dedicated EN1/EN2 control pins enabling asynchronous power-up/down of 3.3V and 1.8V rails. Its CMOS pass device architecture delivers low dropout (0.22V typical at 150mA for 3.3V output) and eliminates body diode reverse conduction-critical for bidirectional isolation in multi-rail systems.
Each channel includes internal current limiting (~55mA foldback short-circuit protection), thermal shutdown, and built-in discharge circuitry (denoted by "D" suffix) that actively pulls VOUT to GND when disabled-preventing floating bias in downstream logic. The device requires no external compensation and remains stable with 0.47µF ceramic output capacitors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltages | 3.3V (Channel 1) and 1.8V (Channel 2), fixed via internal resistor network - eliminates external feedback components and simplifies layout. |
| Output Accuracy | ±1% at +25°C, ±1.5% over −40°C to +85°C - ensures reliable logic-level compliance for 3.3V I/O and 1.8V core supplies. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding noisy battery or PMIC rails. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - meets low-noise requirements for RF transceivers, camera ISPs, and precision ADC reference supplies. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA (one channel active, other disabled) - extends battery life in always-on sensor or standby subsystems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.22V (max) at 150mA for 3.3V output - enables operation down to 3.52V input, supporting single-cell Li-ion with aging margin. |
| Enable Thresholds | VEN(H) ≥ 1.3V, VEN(L) ≤ 0.5V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
X2-DFN1212-6 package: 1.2mm × 1.2mm, 0.4mm height, 0.4mm pitch, thermally enhanced with exposed pad (not electrically connected to GND by default).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOUT1 | 3.3V regulated output - connects directly to 3.3V domain loads (e.g., USB PHY, SDIO interface). |
| 2 | VOUT2 | 1.8V regulated output - powers 1.8V logic cores (e.g., FPGA I/O banks, LPDDR2/3 VDDQ). |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| 4 | EN2 | Active-high enable for Channel 2 (1.8V) - tie high to VIN or controlled by system PMIC for sequenced power-up. |
| 5 | VIN | Common input (1.7V–5.25V) - requires 0.47µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 6 | EN1 | Active-high enable for Channel 1 (3.3V) - supports independent control of 3.3V rail for peripheral isolation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent enable inputs | EN1 and EN2 allow asynchronous start-up/shutdown of 3.3V and 1.8V rails - essential for power sequencing in SoC-based designs. |
| Built-in output discharge | Active pull-down on VOUT1/VOUT2 when respective EN pin is low - prevents residual voltage hold-up that could cause latch-up in downstream logic. |
| Stable with 0.47µF ceramic COUT | Eliminates need for bulk electrolytic capacitors - reduces board area and improves reliability in portable devices. |
| Low 60µVrms noise | Enables direct use in noise-sensitive analog signal chains (e.g., audio codecs, RF front-end biasing) without additional filtering. |
| −40°C to +85°C operation | Qualified for industrial and extended commercial environments - suitable for automotive infotainment and ruggedized handhelds. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7345D-3318FS6-7 | Successor device with improved PSRR (80dB @ 1kHz), lower noise (45µVrms), and AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification. | Required for new automotive designs; supports wider input range (1.4V–5.5V) and higher ambient temp (−40°C to +105°C). | Select when designing for automotive or next-gen portable systems needing tighter noise/PSRR specs and extended temp support. |
| TPL7407LPGEDR | Single-channel 150mA LDO (3.3V only), no dual output or discharge function; 55dB PSRR, 120µVrms noise. | Suitable only for 3.3V-only applications; lacks 1.8V rail and independent enable control. | Use only if second rail is generated elsewhere (e.g., separate 1.8V LDO or DC/DC); not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with AP7342D-3318FS6-7, the AP7345D offers measurable improvements in noise and PSRR for RF/analog systems, while the TPL7407LPGEDR provides cost reduction in single-rail designs but sacrifices sequencing flexibility and noise performance.

FAQ
What is the thermal pad on the X2-DFN1212-6 package used for?
The exposed thermal pad on the AP7342D-3318FS6-7's X2-DFN1212-6 package is intended for thermal dissipation, not electrical grounding. Diodes recommends connecting it to a large copper pour tied to GND for optimal heat transfer, but it must not serve as the sole GND connection - the dedicated Pin 3 (GND) remains the primary ground reference for stability and noise control.
Can EN1 and EN2 be tied together for simultaneous control?
Yes, EN1 and EN2 may be connected to a common enable signal for synchronized 3.3V/1.8V rail activation. However, doing so forfeits independent sequencing capability. When tied, ensure the driving source meets both pins' input leakage (<±1.0µA) and voltage thresholds (VEN(H) ≥ 1.3V, VEN(L) ≤ 0.5V) simultaneously under all operating conditions.
Is the 60µVrms output noise measured with load?
Yes, the 60µVrms output noise specification is measured at IOUT = 30mA, across 10Hz–100kHz bandwidth, with 0.47µF ceramic output capacitors. This reflects real-world loaded conditions - unlike no-load noise measurements, which can be misleading for battery-powered systems with dynamic current draw.
Why does the datasheet state "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS"?
Diodes has designated AP7342D-3318FS6-7 as legacy due to the release of the enhanced AP7345D series, which offers superior PSRR (80dB), lower noise (45µVrms), AEC-Q100 qualification, and extended input range. Existing designs may continue using AP7342D, but new projects should adopt AP7345D for improved performance and long-term supply assurance.
