Product details
Overview
AP7346D-1815FS6-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual-channel, high-accuracy current-limiting LDO regulator in X2-DFN1212-6 package, delivering fixed 1.8V and 1.5V outputs with ±1% accuracy, 157mA ±25mA current limit per channel, and 75dB PSRR at 1kHz. It targets low-power portable RF and imaging subsystems requiring independent, tightly regulated supplies with fast transient response and ultra-low quiescent current (35µA per active channel).
For engineers reviewing the AP7346D-1815FS6-7 datasheet, AP7346D-1815FS6-7 pinout, AP7346D-1815FS6-7 application, or AP7346D-1815FS6-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-output voltage matching, channel enable independence, thermal performance in 1.2mm × 1.2mm DFN, and discharge functionality for controlled power-down sequencing in space-constrained handheld designs.
Technical Context
The AP7346D-1815FS6-7 integrates two independent CMOS-based LDO regulators sharing a single VIN input but featuring separate EN1/EN2 control and VOUT1/VOUT2 outputs. Each channel includes a precision voltage reference, error amplifier, fold-back current limit circuit (132–182mA), and auto-discharge NMOS (50Ω typical) activated during shutdown.
It operates across 1.7V–5.25V input range with dropout as low as 0.22V at 3.0V–3.6V output and supports stable operation with 0.47µF ceramic output capacitors. The device achieves 60µVrms output noise (10Hz–100kHz) and maintains ±1.5% output accuracy over –40°C to +85°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltages | 1.8V (Channel 1), 1.5V (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 stable core/logic rail compliance without calibration. |
| Current Limit | 157mA ±25mA per channel - provides predictable short-circuit protection while supporting peak loads in camera and RF modules. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters feeding shared input rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA per active channel (EN high, no load) - extends battery life in always-on sensor or standby subsystems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.29V max at 3.0V–3.6V output, 0.39V max at 1.2V–1.4V - enables efficient regulation from single-cell Li-ion or boosted 3.3V rails. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - preserves signal integrity in analog front-ends and RF bias networks. |
Pinout & Package
X2-DFN1212-6 package: 1.2mm × 1.2mm body, 0.4mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (non-functional GND electrode; requires PCB copper area for thermal dissipation).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VOUT1 | Channel 1 regulated output | Delivers fixed 1.8V supply; must be decoupled with ≥0.47µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin and GND. |
| 2 VOUT2 | Channel 2 regulated output | Delivers fixed 1.5V supply; independent of VOUT1 - enables asymmetric rail generation for mixed-voltage SoCs. |
| 3 GND | Power ground reference | Common return path for both channels; requires low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| 4 EN2 | Channel 2 enable input | Logic-level control (0–0.5V low, 1.3–5.25V high); floating prohibited - ties to VIN or microcontroller GPIO for sequenced power-up. |
| 5 VIN | Input power supply | Shared 1.7–5.25V input for both regulators; requires ≥0.47µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed within 2mm of pin. |
| 6 EN1 | Channel 1 enable input | Independent logic-level control for VOUT1; allows dynamic channel disable to reduce system standby current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent enable inputs | EN1 and EN2 allow asynchronous power sequencing - critical for SoC boot order compliance and leakage reduction in multi-rail systems. |
| Built-in auto-discharge | 50Ω NMOS per output discharges VOUT pins when EN is low - prevents floating rails and ensures clean reset behavior in portable devices. |
| Ultra-low noise & high PSRR | 60µVrms noise + 75dB PSRR at 1kHz - meets stringent requirements for RF transceiver bias and image sensor analog supplies. |
| Wide input voltage range | 1.7V–5.25V operation - supports direct connection to single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), USB 5V, or post-regulated 3.3V/2.5V rails. |
| Thermally optimized DFN | X2-DFN1212-6 with exposed thermal pad - achieves 120°C/W θJA with 100mm² 1oz copper pour, enabling 130mA continuous per channel at +85°C ambient. |
Applications

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-1815FS6-7 | Successor part with identical pinout, same 1.8V/1.5V outputs, improved OCP tolerance (±15mA vs ±25mA), and enhanced thermal derating above 70°C. | Qualified for new designs; replaces AP7346 per Diodes' notice - recommended where long-term supply continuity and tighter current limit spec are required. | Select AP7345D if designing in after Q3 2023; AP7346 remains viable for legacy production with existing qualification. |
| Torex XC6216D1815MR-G | 1.8V/1.5V dual LDO in SOT-26; higher quiescent current (65µA), lower PSRR (65dB), no auto-discharge, wider dropout (0.45V @ 150mA). | Lacks independent EN pins and discharge function - unsuitable for sequenced power-down or noise-sensitive RF applications. | Consider only for cost-sensitive, non-sequencing applications where board space allows SOT-26 and noise/PSRR specs are relaxed. |
Compared with AP7345D-1815FS6-7, the AP7346D-1815FS6-7 offers identical functionality but looser OCP tolerance and reduced thermal margin; versus XC6216D1815MR-G, it delivers superior noise, PSRR, and sequencing capability at the cost of slightly higher complexity and footprint density.

FAQ
Is AP7346D-1815FS6-7 recommended for new designs?
No - Diodes explicitly states "AP7346 IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS. PLEASE USE THE AP7345D." The AP7345D is a direct pin- and function-compatible successor with tighter current limit tolerance (±15mA), improved thermal performance above 70°C, and ongoing production support. AP7346D-1815FS6-7 remains available for legacy design continuity and last-time buys.
What is the role of the thermal pad on the X2-DFN1212-6 package?
The exposed thermal pad is not an electrical GND terminal but a mechanical thermal interface. It must be connected to a large PCB copper area (ideally ≥25mm²) tied to system ground for heat dissipation - not used as the sole GND return path. Improper thermal pad layout increases junction temperature by up to 40°C at 130mA load, risking thermal shutdown or accelerated aging.
Can EN1 and EN2 be tied together for simultaneous control?
Yes - EN1 and EN2 may be connected to a common GPIO or VIN for synchronized channel enable/disable. However, doing so forfeits independent sequencing capability. If used jointly, ensure drive strength exceeds 1µA leakage and voltage thresholds meet 0–0.5V (low) and 1.3–5.25V (high) per datasheet; floating EN pins will cause undefined regulator state.
Does AP7346D-1815FS6-7 support reverse current blocking?
No - the device lacks integrated reverse-current protection. When VIN drops below VOUT, reverse current can flow from VOUT1 or VOUT2 back into VIN through the internal pass FET body diode. External Schottky diodes or ideal diode controllers are required in systems where input rail collapse (e.g., battery disconnect) must prevent backfeed into upstream supplies.
