Product details
Overview
AP7343Q-185FDZW-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade 300mA low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 1.85V output, ±1% accuracy, 75dB PSRR at 1kHz, 60µVrms output noise (10Hz–100kHz), and 35µA quiescent current - designed for noise-sensitive power rails in ADAS camera modules and infotainment RF supplies.
For engineers reviewing the AP7343Q-185FDZW-7 datasheet, AP7343Q-185FDZW-7 pinout, AP7343Q-185FDZW-7 application, or AP7343Q-185FDZW-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, W-DFN2020-6 (SWP) Type A1 thermal performance (θJA = 54°C/W), enable-controlled shutdown, and absence of output discharge functionality.
Technical Context
The AP7343Q-185FDZW-7 integrates a CMOS-based error amplifier, precision voltage reference, current-limit circuit, and thermal shutdown protection. It operates across 1.7V–5.25V input range and delivers stable 1.85V output up to 300mA with dropout as low as 0.35V at 300mA (for VOUT = 1.85V).
Its enable input (EN) accepts logic-level control (VIL ≤ 0.5V, VIH ≥ 1.3V), and the device features no internal output discharge path - confirmed by part suffix "Q" (non-discharge variant) and functional block diagram distinction from AP7343DQ.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.85V ±1% - ensures tight regulation for 1.8V I/O domain logic without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA - supports dual-core microcontrollers or image sensor biasing in compact automotive modules. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters in mixed-signal systems. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - minimizes phase jitter in RF PLLs and ADC reference supplies. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA - enables always-on operation in vehicle wake-up circuits without battery drain penalty. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - validated for under-hood and cabin-mounted ADAS ECU environments. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.35V typical at 300mA - allows operation from 2.2V input (e.g., degraded 12V rail via pre-regulator). |
Pinout & Package
AP7343Q-185FDZW-7 is packaged in W-DFN2020-6 (SWP) Type A1 - a 2.0mm × 2.0mm, 0.65mm height wettable flank package with exposed thermal pad (EP), optimized for high-density automotive PCBs and automated optical inspection (AOI).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | Main power input; requires local 0.47µF ceramic decoupling placed within 2mm of pin. |
| 2 & 5 | NC | No-connect terminals; recommended to tie to GND for enhanced thermal conduction and EMI shielding. |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must connect directly to solid ground plane beneath EP. |
| 4 | VOUT | Regulated 1.85V output; routed with low-inductance trace to load, adjacent to 1µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 6 | EN | Active-high enable; drives regulator ON when ≥1.3V, OFF when ≤0.5V - no pull-up required if permanently enabled. |
| EP | Exposed Pad | Thermal interface only; must be soldered to ≥100mm² copper pour connected to GND for θJA = 54°C/W. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified | Validated for −40°C to +125°C junction operation with PPAP documentation support - meets automotive safety-critical supply requirements. |
| Ultra-low output noise | 60µVrms over 10Hz–100kHz band - preserves SNR in analog front-ends of radar receivers and camera ISPs. |
| High PSRR at low frequency | 75dB at 1kHz - rejects ripple from buck converter switching frequencies and their harmonics. |
| Low quiescent current | 35µA typical - extends battery life in always-on telematics and gateway modules during sleep mode. |
| No output discharge | Eliminates reverse current path on shutdown - prevents unintended discharge of downstream capacitance in multi-rail systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7343Q-185FDUW-7 | Same electrical specs, but W-DFN2020-6 (SWP) Type UXD package - 53.3°C/W θJA, different pin 2/5 NC layout. | Suitable for designs requiring slightly better thermal performance and compatibility with UXD footprint standards. | Select when board layout uses UXD land pattern or thermal budget demands <54°C/W θJA. |
| TLD1120FVQ-TP | Infineon automotive LDO: 1.85V, 300mA, ±2% accuracy, 65dB PSRR @1kHz, 120µVrms noise, 50µA IQ. | Lacks wettable flank packaging; higher noise limits use in ultra-low-jitter RF chains. | Choose for cost-sensitive non-RF ADAS modules where 120µVrms noise is acceptable and lead-free RoHS compliance is mandatory. |
Compared with AP7343Q-185FDUW-7, the FDZW variant offers identical regulation performance but optimized for Type A1 assembly processes and AOI; versus TLD1120FVQ-TP, it delivers 1.5× lower output noise and 10dB higher PSRR - critical for RF and high-speed imaging applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for AP7343Q-185FDZW-7?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 6.0V per the datasheet's Absolute Maximum Ratings table. However, the recommended operating range is 1.7V to 5.25V. Exceeding 5.25V may trigger thermal shutdown or degrade long-term reliability, especially at high ambient temperatures. For sustained operation, VIN should remain ≤5.25V with adequate derating based on load current and PCB thermal design.
Does AP7343Q-185FDZW-7 include output discharge functionality?
No. The "Q" suffix explicitly denotes the non-discharge version, confirmed by the functional block diagram (labeled "AP7343Q (Without Discharge)") and ordering information table. When disabled via EN pin, the output remains floating - no internal FET discharges COUT. This avoids unintended discharge of downstream hold-up capacitors in multi-rail systems where sequencing matters.
How should the exposed pad (EP) be connected on the PCB?
The exposed pad must be soldered to a dedicated thermal copper area ≥100mm², connected to the system GND plane using ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter, spaced ≤1mm apart). It is not an electrical ground terminal - do not route signal traces to it. Leaving EP unconnected or using it as sole GND return violates thermal specs and risks junction overheating above 125°C under 300mA load.
Can AP7343Q-185FDZW-7 operate with a 1.0µF output capacitor?
Yes - the datasheet confirms stability with 1.0µF ceramic output capacitors (COUT). Layout best practice requires placing this capacitor within 3mm of VOUT and GND pins, using X5R/X7R dielectric with ≤100mΩ ESR. For loads with >100mA step transients, adding a parallel 4.7µF bulk capacitor improves droop recovery, as shown in Figure 8's load transient waveforms.
