Product details
Overview
AP7348D-2818RS4-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a quad-channel low-dropout linear regulator IC with independent enable control for dual channel pairs, ±1% output voltage accuracy, 75dB PSRR at 1kHz, and 60µVrms output noise (10Hz–100kHz). It delivers 300mA per channel across a 1.7V–5.25V input range and is configured for fixed 2.8V on VOUT1/VOUT2 and 1.8V on VOUT3/VOUT4 - optimized for multi-rail power in compact wireless modules.
For engineers reviewing the AP7348D-2818RS4-7 datasheet, AP7348D-2818RS4-7 pinout, AP7348D-2818RS4-7 application, or AP7348D-2818RS4-7 equivalent, this device supports simultaneous low-noise biasing of RF transceivers and baseband processors while maintaining tight regulation under fast load transients and rejecting supply ripple in space-constrained IoT endpoints.
Technical Context
The AP7348D-2818RS4-7 integrates four independent CMOS-based LDO regulators sharing two precision voltage references and separate error amplifiers, foldback current limiting, and auto-discharge circuits. Each channel features dedicated thermal shutdown sensing (trip at +155°C) and independent resistor networks setting fixed outputs.
EN1 controls VOUT1 and VOUT3 (2.8V/1.8V), while EN2 controls VOUT2 and VOUT4 (2.8V/1.8V); both enables accept logic-level inputs (0–0.5V low, 1.3–5.25V high) and drive internal N-channel discharge switches (10Ω typical) during disable to rapidly collapse output voltages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.8V (CH1 & CH2), 1.8V (CH3 & CH4); fixed via internal resistor network - eliminates external feedback components and ensures stable rail sequencing. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA per channel; supports concurrent operation of multiple low-power subsystems without derating below ambient +85°C. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz; suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding VDD, critical for RF front-end stability. |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz); enables clean analog/RF supply without additional filtering, reducing BOM count in camera and Wi-Fi modules. |
| Quiescent Current | 160µA total (all channels enabled); extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and wearable devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.26V at 300mA (for 2.8V output); allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) with margin for voltage sag. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +155°C threshold with +25°C hysteresis; prevents latch-up during sustained overload and enables safe recovery after fault clearance. |
Pinout & Package
X1-DFN1612-8 (Type B) package: 1.6mm × 1.2mm, 0.4mm pitch, exposed thermal pad - enables ultra-dense PCB layouts in mobile and edge-node designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all four channels; must connect to low-impedance ground plane to maintain PSRR and transient response. |
| 2 VOUT3 | Channel 3 output | Delivers fixed 1.8V to subsystems requiring lower-voltage logic or analog circuitry; includes foldback current limit and auto-discharge. |
| 3 VOUT4 | Channel 4 output | Delivers fixed 1.8V; independently regulated and thermally monitored - supports isolated power domains in mixed-signal SoC interfaces. |
| 4 EN2 | Enable for CH2 & CH4 | Logic-controlled input (0–0.5V = off, 1.3–5.25V = on); pulls associated outputs to ground via 10Ω switch when disabled. |
| 5 VOUT2 | Channel 2 output | Delivers fixed 2.8V; shares enable with VOUT4 but has independent regulation loop and thermal protection. |
| 6 VDD | Main power input | Supplies all four channels; requires ≥4.7µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin to prevent instability during load steps. |
| 7 VOUT1 | Channel 1 output | Delivers fixed 2.8V; paired with VOUT3 under EN1 control - enables synchronized power-up of core processor and I/O rails. |
| 8 EN1 | Enable for CH1 & CH3 | Logic-controlled input (0–0.5V = off, 1.3–5.25V = on); activates/disables VOUT1 and VOUT3 simultaneously for coordinated rail management. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent dual-enable architecture | EN1 and EN2 allow grouped control of non-adjacent channels (CH1+CH3, CH2+CH4), enabling flexible power sequencing without external logic. |
| Per-channel thermal shutdown | Each output disables independently upon local overtemperature detection - preserves functionality of remaining channels during localized faults. |
| Low-noise CMOS design | 60µVrms noise floor and 75dB PSRR meet stringent requirements for RF synthesizers and ADC reference supplies. |
| Auto-discharge on disable | Integrated 10Ω N-channel switch rapidly discharges VOUT pins to GND when EN is low - prevents floating rails and ensures deterministic reset behavior. |
| High-accuracy fixed outputs | ±1% output voltage tolerance across -40°C to +85°C ensures reliable operation of voltage-sensitive peripherals like LPDDR I/O and PLLs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6216D2818MR-G | Single enable pin controlling all four channels; no per-pair enable; PSRR 65dB @1kHz; 80µVrms noise. | Lacks independent EN1/EN2 control - unsuitable for systems requiring staggered rail activation or fault isolation between channel groups. | Select only if simplified enable logic suffices and 10dB lower PSRR is acceptable for non-RF applications. |
| Ricoh RP517K2818B | Separate enable per channel (4 EN pins); higher quiescent current (220µA); 70dB PSRR; same 60µVrms noise. | Enables granular per-rail control but increases GPIO count and layout complexity; less optimal for space-constrained modules. | Prefer when individual channel sequencing is mandatory and board area permits extra routing for four enable lines. |
Compared with XC6216D2818MR-G and RP517K2818B, the AP7348D-2818RS4-7 uniquely balances dual-group enable flexibility, industry-leading 75dB PSRR, and minimal 160µA quiescent current in a 1.6mm × 1.2mm footprint - making it optimal for RF-sensitive, size-constrained multi-rail systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable power dissipation for AP7348D-2818RS4-7?
The absolute maximum power dissipation is 600mW, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Exceeding this value triggers thermal shutdown at +155°C, causing all four channels to disable until junction temperature falls by +25°C hysteresis. Designers must calculate worst-case power (VIN–VOUT)×IOUT per channel and ensure θJA = 160°C/W with proper PCB copper area does not exceed this limit.
Can AP7348D-2818RS4-7 operate with a 1.7V input voltage while delivering 2.8V output?
No. The minimum input voltage must exceed the desired output voltage by the dropout voltage - for 2.8V output at 300mA, dropout is 0.26V (typical), so VIN must be ≥3.06V. At 1.7V input, only the 1.8V outputs can function reliably; the 2.8V channels will drop out and fail to regulate.
Is the thermal pad electrically connected internally?
No. The exposed thermal pad is not electrically connected to any internal node. It must be soldered to a PCB thermal plane for heat dissipation but may be left floating or tied to GND externally - it does not replace the functional connection required at Pin 1 (GND).
Does AP7348D-2818RS4-7 support ceramic output capacitors?
Yes. The device is explicitly characterized and stable with low-ESR ceramic capacitors as small as 1.0µF per channel. Diodes recommends placing each COUT within 2mm of its respective VOUT and GND pins to minimize loop inductance and preserve PSRR above 100kHz.
