Product details
Overview
AP7353D-18FS4-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 250mA low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 1.8V output, high PSRR (90dB at 1kHz), ultra-low output noise (10µVrms), and 18µA typical quiescent current. It features an enable input, thermal shutdown, short-circuit protection, and is optimized for RF supply rails and battery-powered wearable systems requiring stable, clean voltage under fast load transients.
For engineers reviewing the AP7353D-18FS4-7 datasheet, AP7353D-18FS4-7 pinout, AP7353D-18FS4-7 application, or AP7353D-18FS4-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 250mA (130–240mV), EN logic thresholds (0.4V low / 1.2V high), thermal resistance (237°C/W), and compatibility with 1µF ceramic output capacitors in space-constrained layouts.
Technical Context
The AP7353D-18FS4-7 uses a CMOS-based LDO architecture with integrated voltage reference, error amplifier, and current-limit circuitry. Its discharge function actively pulls the output to ground when disabled, preventing residual voltage hold-up in sequencing-sensitive systems.
It operates across 2.0V–5.5V input range and delivers ±1% output accuracy over –40°C to +85°C ambient. The X2-DFN1010-4 (Type B) package supports high-density PCB placement and requires minimal external components-only 1µF input and output ceramic capacitors-for full stability and transient performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±1% - ensures precise biasing for 1.8V I/O domains and low-voltage logic without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 250mA - sufficient to power baseband processors, RF transceivers, or sensor signal chains in portable devices. |
| PSRR | 90dB at 1kHz (10mA load) - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding shared input rails. |
| Output Noise | 10µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - preserves SNR in analog front-ends, ADC references, and RF VCO supplies. |
| Quiescent Current | 18µA typical - extends battery life in always-on wearables and IoT edge nodes during sleep mode. |
| Dropout Voltage | 130–240mV at 250mA - enables operation down to 2.0V input while maintaining regulation for 1.8V output. |
| Enable Thresholds | VEN(H) ≥1.2V, VEN(L) ≤0.4V - compatible with standard GPIOs and allows direct connection to microcontroller wake signals. |
Pinout & Package
X2-DFN1010-4 (Type B) package: 1.0mm × 1.0mm, 0.65mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (EP), RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: OUT | Regulated Power Output | Delivers 1.8V to load; must be decoupled with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin and GND. |
| 2: GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for load current and internal circuitry; connects directly to PCB ground plane for low-impedance return. |
| 3: EN | Enable Control Input | Active-high logic input; drives regulator ON/OFF; must not float; internal pull-down not provided. |
| 4: IN | Power Input | Accepts 2.0–5.5V input; requires ≥1µF ceramic capacitor between IN and GND to suppress supply ripple and transient droop. |
| EP | Exposed Thermal Pad | Not electrically functional as GND; soldered to large copper pour tied to system GND for thermal dissipation (θJA = 237°C/W). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Output Discharge | 35Ω on-resistance discharges VOUT to GND within microseconds upon disable - eliminates need for external bleed resistor in power sequencing. |
| Ultra-Low Noise Performance | 10µVrms broadband noise - meets stringent requirements for RF synthesizers, precision ADCs, and audio codecs without additional filtering. |
| High PSRR at High Frequency | 70dB at 10kHz (250mA load) - maintains clean output even when powered from noisy switcher outputs with 100kHz+ ripple content. |
| Fast Load Transient Response | <20µs recovery time for 1mA ↔ 250mA step - prevents brownout during burst-mode processor activity in handheld devices. |
| Stable with Minimal Capacitance | Works with 0.7µF minimum COUT (X7R/X5R) - reduces BOM count and board area vs. legacy LDOs requiring ≥10µF tantalum. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6210B182MR-G | Same 1.8V/250mA rating, but no enable pin or discharge function; PSRR 70dB @ 1kHz; 25µA IQ. | Lacks sequencing control and output discharge - unsuitable for multi-rail power-up/down coordination. | Select only if enable/discharge are unused and cost is primary constraint. |
| Richtek RT9013-18GB | 1.8V/300mA, 22µA IQ, 85dB PSRR @ 1kHz, no discharge; requires 2.2µF min COUT. | Higher current headroom but larger output cap requirement increases footprint and cost. | Prefer when >250mA peak load is expected and board area permits larger capacitor. |
Compared with XC6210B182MR-G and RT9013-18GB, the AP7353D-18FS4-7 uniquely combines discharge capability, lowest noise, and smallest required output capacitance-making it optimal for compact, sequenced, noise-sensitive portable designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for AP7353D-18FS4-7?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 6.0V, but recommended operating range is 2.0V to 5.5V. Exceeding 5.5V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings. For 1.8V output, minimum input is 2.0V; dropout voltage rises with load - at 250mA, VIN must be ≥1.93V to maintain regulation.
Does AP7353D-18FS4-7 require an external discharge resistor?
No. The "D" suffix denotes integrated output discharge functionality with 35Ω on-resistance. When EN is pulled low, the internal NMOS actively pulls OUT to GND, eliminating need for external bleed resistors and reducing BOM count and PCB area.
Can AP7353D-18FS4-7 operate with a 0.47µF output capacitor?
No. Minimum effective COUT is 0.7µF (accounting for temperature, DC bias, and tolerance derating). A 0.47µF capacitor fails to meet stability requirements and may cause oscillation or poor transient response. Use ≥1µF X7R/X5R ceramic placed adjacent to OUT and GND pins.
How does thermal performance differ between X1-WLB0707-4 and X2-DFN1010-4 packages?
X1-WLB0707-4 has θJA = 150°C/W; X2-DFN1010-4 (used in AP7353D-18FS4-7) has θJA = 237°C/W. Though smaller, the DFN package relies more heavily on PCB copper area for heat spreading. To match X1's thermal performance, the DFN's exposed pad must connect to ≥100mm² of 2oz copper tied to GND.
