Product details
Overview
AP7347DQ-18FDZW-7B from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade 1.8V fixed-output, 500mA low-dropout linear regulator with ±1% output voltage accuracy, 75dB PSRR at 1kHz, and 60µVrms output noise (10Hz–100kHz). Built on CMOS process, it integrates enable control, thermal shutdown, short-circuit protection, and auto-discharge functionality-designed for noise-sensitive power rails in ADAS camera modules and infotainment domain controllers.
For engineers reviewing the AP7347DQ-18FDZW-7B datasheet, AP7347DQ-18FDZW-7B pinout, AP7347DQ-18FDZW-7B application, or AP7347DQ-18FDZW-7B equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, WDFN2020-6 wettable flank package for solder joint inspection, 60µA quiescent current in active mode, and guaranteed 500mA output across –40°C to +125°C ambient.
Technical Context
The AP7347DQ-18FDZW-7B employs a CMOS-based error amplifier architecture with internal voltage reference and current-limit circuitry. Its enable input supports direct logic-level control (EN high = active, EN low = shutdown), and the integrated N-channel auto-discharge transistor (30Ω typical) actively pulls VOUT to GND when disabled-critical for fast power-down sequencing in automotive systems.
It delivers stable regulation over 1.7V–5.5V input range with dropout as low as 0.45V at 500mA for 1.8V output. Thermal shutdown triggers at +170°C with +20°C hysteresis, and the device maintains ±30ppm/°C output voltage temperature coefficient under load-enabling precise biasing of RF ICs and image sensors without external trimming.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±1% - ensures stable core supply for 1.8V I/O domains in automotive MCUs and SerDes interfaces. |
| Max Output Current | 500mA - sufficient to power dual-lane MIPI CSI-2 camera sensors or low-power RF transceivers without derating. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding infotainment SoCs. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - preserves SNR in analog front-ends of radar receivers and audio codecs. |
| Quiescent Current | 60µA typical - enables always-on monitoring circuits to meet ISO 26262 ASIL-B standby power budgets. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.45V max at 500mA - allows operation from 2.25V battery rail during cold-crank conditions down to 1.8V output. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(H) ≥ 1.25V, VEN(L) ≤ 0.5V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 54°C/W (WDFN2020-6) - enables 500mA continuous operation at +105°C ambient with minimal PCB copper area. |
Pinout & Package
AP7347DQ-18FDZW-7B uses the W-DFN2020-6 (SWP) wettable flank package (2.0mm × 2.0mm, 0.65mm pitch), optimized for automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints. The exposed pad (EP) must be connected to GND via thermal vias for optimal junction-to-ambient heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOUT | Regulated 1.8V output; requires 1µF ceramic capacitor placed <1mm from pin for stability and transient response. |
| 2,5 | NC | No-connect terminals; recommended to tie to GND for enhanced thermal conduction and EMI shielding. |
| 3 | GND | Power ground return; must connect directly to solid ground plane beneath EP to minimize impedance. |
| 4 | EN | Active-high enable; driven by MCU GPIO or system PMIC; floating state prohibited per datasheet. |
| 6 | VIN | Input supply (1.7–5.5V); requires 1µF decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress input ripple. |
| EP | Exposed Pad | Thermal interface only; not electrically functional-must be soldered to GND plane with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation with PPAP documentation support-meets automotive electronics reliability requirements. |
| Auto-discharge function | 30Ω N-channel discharge path activates on EN low, discharging VOUT to GND in <100µs-prevents back-powering of upstream circuits. |
| Low-noise CMOS architecture | 60µVrms noise floor enables direct powering of PLL VCOs and ADC reference buffers without additional filtering. |
| Wettable flank package | W-DFN2020-6 SWP geometry enables 100% solder joint inspection via AOI-reducing field failure risk in safety-critical assemblies. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | +170°C trip with +20°C hysteresis prevents thermal cycling damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6217D182MR-G | Same 1.8V/500mA output, but no auto-discharge; PSRR 65dB @1kHz; SOT-25 only (no wettable flank option). | Lacks active discharge-requires external circuitry for fast VOUT decay; unsuitable for strict ASIL-B power sequencing. | Select only if wettable flank inspection is unnecessary and discharge timing is non-critical. |
| Rohm BD3572EFJ-ME2 | AEC-Q100 Grade 1, 1.8V/500mA, but higher IQ (120µA); no wettable flank; thermal shutdown at +150°C (no hysteresis). | Higher quiescent current reduces battery lifetime in always-on nodes; lower thermal trip point increases false shutdown risk. | Prefer only if cost is primary constraint and thermal margin exceeds +20°C above worst-case junction temp. |
Compared with XC6217D182MR-G and BD3572EFJ-ME2, AP7347DQ-18FDZW-7B uniquely combines wettable flank packaging for automotive process control, integrated auto-discharge for safe power-down, and lowest noise (60µVrms)-making it optimal for ADAS and domain controller applications demanding both reliability and signal integrity.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for AP7347DQ-18FDZW-7B?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 6.0V, but the recommended operating range is 1.7V to 5.5V. Exceeding 5.5V risks permanent damage even for brief transients. For automotive battery applications, this range accommodates cold-crank (down to ~6.0V nominal) and load-dump (up to 40V) scenarios only when paired with appropriate front-end protection-this LDO itself must never see >6.0V.
Does AP7347DQ-18FDZW-7B require an external discharge resistor?
No. The device integrates an N-channel MOSFET with 30Ω typical on-resistance between VOUT and GND that activates automatically when EN is pulled low. This eliminates need for external discharge components, reduces BOM count, and ensures consistent discharge timing (<100µs) across temperature and process variation-critical for automotive functional safety compliance.
How does the W-DFN2020-6 (SWP) package improve manufacturing yield in automotive assembly?
The wettable flank geometry exposes vertical sidewalls of all six terminals, enabling automated optical inspection (AOI) to verify solder fillet formation and voiding-unachievable with standard DFN packages. This directly improves first-pass yield in high-reliability automotive SMT lines and reduces latent defects linked to insufficient solder joint integrity in vibration-prone environments.
Can AP7347DQ-18FDZW-7B operate with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 1µF?
Yes-stability is guaranteed with ≥0.47µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors (low ESR <10mΩ). However, the datasheet specifies 1µF as the minimum for optimal transient response and PSRR performance across temperature. Using <1µF may degrade load-step recovery time and increase output voltage deviation during rapid current changes-verified in Figure 19 (Load Transient Response) of DS42799 Rev. 5-2.
