Product details
Overview
AP7343-15FS4-7B from Diodes Incorporated is a 300mA, 1.5V fixed-output low-dropout regulator with ±1% output voltage accuracy, 75dB PSRR at 1kHz, and 60µVrms output noise (10Hz–100kHz), designed for RF supply rails in compact portable electronics using the X2-DFN1010-4 (Type B) package.
For engineers reviewing the AP7343-15FS4-7B datasheet, AP7343-15FS4-7B pinout, AP7343-15FS4-7B application, or AP7343-15FS4-7B equivalent, key selection criteria include its 35µA quiescent current, 0.39V typical dropout at 300mA (VOUT = 1.5V), enable-controlled shutdown, and thermal shutdown at +150°C - all critical for battery-powered RF subsystems requiring stable, low-noise bias.
Technical Context
The AP7343-15FS4-7B implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with integrated voltage reference, error amplifier, current limit circuit, and thermal shutdown. Its EN pin provides precise on/off control with 0–0.5V logic-low threshold and 1.3–5.25V logic-high range, enabling system-level power sequencing.
It delivers regulated 1.5V output across 1.7–5.25V input range, maintains ±30ppm/°C output voltage temperature coefficient, and features fold-back short-circuit protection clamping output current to ~55mA during VOUT-to-GND fault conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5V ±1% at +25°C; ensures stable bias for RF ICs without external feedback network. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous; supports moderate-power RF front-end stages and baseband processors. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz; suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters feeding noisy power domains. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz); minimizes phase noise degradation in VCOs and LNAs. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA typical; extends battery life in always-on RF monitoring or low-duty-cycle wireless sensors. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.39V max at 300mA (VOUT = 1.5V); enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) with >1.5V headroom margin. |
| Enable Threshold | VIL ≤ 0.5V, VIH ≥ 1.3V; compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
AP7343-15FS4-7B uses the X2-DFN1010-4 (Type B) 1.0mm × 1.0mm, 0.4mm pitch, 4-pin package with exposed thermal pad (EP). The EP must be connected to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance (RθJB = 85.7°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PIN1 (VOUT) | Regulated Power Output | Delivers clean 1.5V to load; requires local 1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability and transient response. |
| PIN2 (GND) | Analog/Digital Ground Reference | Primary return path for output current and internal circuitry; must connect directly to low-impedance ground plane. |
| PIN3 (EN) | Active-High Enable Control | Drives regulator ON when ≥1.3V; pulls into shutdown (ISTANDBY ≤ 1.0µA) when ≤0.5V; must not float. |
| PIN4 (VIN) | Unregulated Input Supply | Accepts 1.7–5.25V input; requires 0.47µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed within 2mm of pin to suppress supply glitches. |
| EP (Exposed Pad) | Thermal Dissipation Path | Not electrically functional; soldered to GND copper area to reduce junction-to-board thermal resistance by 40% vs. no-pad layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise regulation | 60µVrms output noise enables direct powering of sensitive RF analog blocks without additional filtering. |
| High PSRR at audio frequencies | 75dB rejection at 1kHz mitigates ripple from buck converter switching harmonics in shared power rails. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 35µA IQ allows use in always-on wake-up circuits where standby power budget is <100µW. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | +150°C thermal shutdown with +20°C hysteresis and fold-back current limiting prevent damage during sustained overload. |
| Small-footprint packaging | X2-DFN1010-4 (1.0×1.0mm) reduces PCB area by 75% vs. SOT25, enabling high-density RF module layouts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1502E/TT | 250mA max output, 6µVrms noise (10Hz–100kHz), 6V max input, SOT23-5 package | Lacks enable pin; fixed 1.5V output but no shutdown control; higher noise floor unsuitable for RF | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-RF applications where enable control and ultra-low noise are unnecessary. |
| Torex XC6210B152MR-G | 300mA output, 40µVrms noise, 6V max input, SOT-25 package, 1.0µA shutdown current | SOT-25 footprint (larger than X2-DFN1010-4); slightly lower noise but no thermal shutdown hysteresis spec | Prefer when board space permits larger package and sub-40µVrms noise is prioritized over thermal robustness. |
Compared with MCP1700T-1502E/TT and XC6210B152MR-G, the AP7343-15FS4-7B uniquely balances RF-grade noise performance, enable functionality, thermal safety margin, and ultra-compact packaging - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-powered RF systems demanding both precision and reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for AP7343-15FS4-7B?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 6.0V, but the recommended operating range is 1.7V to 5.25V. Exceeding 5.25V may trigger internal protection or degrade long-term reliability; operation above 6.0V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does AP7343-15FS4-7B include output discharge functionality?
No - the "7B" suffix indicates the non-discharge variant. Unlike AP7343D-15FS4-7B, this part lacks an internal NMOS discharge switch between VOUT and GND. When disabled via EN, output voltage decays only through external load or leakage, not active pull-down.
Can AP7343-15FS4-7B be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 1µF?
Yes - the device is stable with ≥0.47µF ceramic capacitors. However, 1µF is recommended for optimal transient response under 300mA load steps; smaller values increase output voltage deviation during fast load changes per Load Transient Response data.
How does thermal performance differ between X2-DFN1010-4 and SOT25 packages?
X2-DFN1010-4 has RθJA = 237°C/W vs. SOT25's 179°C/W, meaning the smaller package runs hotter at same power dissipation. However, its exposed pad lowers RθJB to 85.7°C/W (vs. 79.2°C/W for SOT25), making it superior for PCBs with large ground planes despite higher ambient thermal resistance.
