Product details
Overview
AP7346D-2818FS6-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual-channel, high-accuracy current-limiting LDO regulator in X2-DFN1212-6 package, delivering fixed 2.8V and 1.8V outputs with ±1% accuracy, 75dB PSRR at 1kHz, and 60µVrms output noise (10Hz–100kHz). It features independent enable pins (EN1/EN2), low 35µA quiescent current (single-channel active), and integrated auto-discharge for rapid output shutdown - optimized for RF supply rails and camera modules in portable media devices.
For engineers reviewing the AP7346D-2818FS6-7 datasheet, AP7346D-2818FS6-7 pinout, AP7346D-2818FS6-7 application, or AP7346D-2818FS6-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-output voltage pairing (2.8V/1.8V), channel-independent enable control, thermal performance in 1.2mm × 1.2mm DFN, current-limit accuracy (157mA ±25mA), and discharge functionality for power sequencing compliance.
Technical Context
The AP7346D-2818FS6-7 integrates two independent CMOS-based LDO regulators sharing a single VIN input and GND, each with dedicated EN control, fixed internal resistor networks for 2.8V and 1.8V outputs, and built-in short-circuit foldback limiting (~55mA) and thermal protection. Its architecture supports simultaneous or staggered channel activation without cross-regulation coupling.
Each channel delivers 130mA maximum output current with dropout as low as 0.22V (at 3.0V < VOUT ≤ 3.6V, IOUT = 120mA), while maintaining 0.1%/V line regulation and ≤30mV load regulation across 1–120mA. The device operates from 1.7V to 5.25V input and supports automotive-grade ambient range (−40°C to +85°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltages | 2.8V (Channel 1), 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 stable core and I/O rail voltages for precision analog and digital subsystems. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding RF transceivers or image sensors. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - minimizes phase noise in local oscillator supplies and jitter in high-speed serial interfaces. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA (one channel active, no load) - extends battery life in always-on sensor or standby-mode subsystems. |
| Current Limit | 157mA ±25mA per channel - provides predictable fault current during short circuits while avoiding nuisance tripping under transient loads. |
| Enable Thresholds | EN high ≥1.3V, EN low ≤0.5V - compatible with 1.8V/2.8V/3.3V GPIO logic without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
X2-DFN1212-6 package: 1.2mm × 1.2mm body, 0.4mm pitch, 0.39mm height, thermal pad exposed on bottom for PCB copper area connection to GND or floating (not used as primary GND electrode).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOUT1 | 2.8V regulated output - connects directly to load requiring stable 2.8V supply (e.g., RF front-end bias). |
| 2 | VOUT2 | 1.8V regulated output - powers low-voltage digital cores (e.g., image signal processor I/O or memory interface). |
| 3 | GND | Common ground reference for both regulators and decoupling capacitors - must be low-impedance path to system ground plane. |
| 4 | EN2 | Active-high enable for Channel 2 (1.8V) - controls power-up sequencing of 1.8V domain independently of 2.8V rail. |
| 5 | VIN | Shared input supply (1.7V–5.25V) - requires ≥0.47µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability. |
| 6 | EN1 | Active-high enable for Channel 1 (2.8V) - enables independent power gating of RF supply before or after digital domain activation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent enable inputs | EN1 and EN2 allow precise power sequencing - e.g., delay 1.8V domain activation until 2.8V rail stabilizes, preventing latch-up in mixed-voltage ICs. |
| Built-in output auto-discharge | Internal 50Ω N-channel discharge path per channel rapidly collapses VOUT when EN is pulled low - eliminates hold-up time and meets fast-power-down requirements in USB-C or MIPI systems. |
| Low-noise, high-PSRR regulation | 75dB PSRR at 1kHz + 60µVrms noise enables clean supply for noise-sensitive analog blocks like ADCs, PLLs, or RF synthesizers without additional filtering. |
| High-accuracy current limit | 157mA ±25mA per channel ensures consistent fault protection across temperature - avoids overdesign of downstream current-sense circuitry in battery-powered designs. |
| Ultra-small footprint | X2-DFN1212-6 (1.2mm × 1.2mm) saves >60% board area vs. SOT-23-6 - critical for space-constrained camera modules and fingerprint sensors. |

FAQ
What is the thermal pad on the AP7346D-2818FS6-7 used for, and how should it be connected?
The thermal pad on the underside of the X2-DFN1212-6 package improves heat dissipation and must be connected to a large PCB copper area tied to GND or left floating - it is not a functional GND electrode. Using ≥200mm² copper with multiple thermal vias significantly lowers junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, enabling full 130mA per channel operation at +85°C ambient without derating.
Can AP7346D-2818FS6-7 operate with input voltage below 2.0V?
Yes - the AP7346D-2818FS6-7 supports input voltages as low as 1.7V, enabling direct operation from single-cell Li-ion batteries down to end-of-discharge (≈2.8V) or from 1.8V logic rails with sufficient headroom. At VIN = 1.7V, the 1.8V channel achieves ~0.29V dropout (per datasheet Table 1), allowing stable 1.8V output with 120mA load.
How does the auto-discharge function work, and what is its typical discharge time?
When EN1 or EN2 is pulled low, an internal 50Ω N-channel MOSFET connects the corresponding VOUT pin to GND, discharging external output capacitance. With 1µF COUT, typical discharge time to 10% of nominal voltage is <100µs - verified in Figure 9 of DS38082 Rev. 2-3. This eliminates need for external discharge resistors and ensures fast power-down compliance in MIPI or USB PD applications.
Is AP7346D-2818FS6-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No - AP7346D-2818FS6-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., AP7346Q series) with PPAP capability, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and extended temperature screening (−40°C to +125°C), but this specific part number is intended for commercial portable electronics. Use only in automotive systems after full qualification testing and failure mode analysis.
