Product details
Overview
AP7361-15FGE-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1A fixed-output (1.5V) ultra-low dropout linear regulator in U-DFN3030-8 package, featuring 70µA typical quiescent current, 500mV dropout at 1A load, and integrated enable control. It delivers stable power to FPGA I/O rails, portable audio subsystems, and battery-powered microcontroller cores where low thermal footprint and fast transient response are critical.
For engineers reviewing the AP7361-15FGE-7 datasheet, AP7361-15FGE-7 pinout, AP7361-15FGE-7 application, or AP7361-15FGE-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at full load, thermal resistance (θJA = 70°C/W), EN pin logic thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.3V, VIH ≥ 1.0V), and ceramic capacitor stability with ≥2.2µF output capacitance.
Technical Context
The AP7361-15FGE-7 implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture with internal 0.8V bandgap reference and error amplifier, enabling precise 1.5V output regulation across -40°C to +85°C ambient. Its feedback loop is optimized for stability with ceramic capacitors ≥2.2µF and ESR between 10mΩ and 300mΩ.
Enable functionality is implemented via a dedicated EN pin (Pin 5 in U-DFN3030-8) with active-high logic, 0.01µA max leakage, and hysteresis-free switching. Thermal shutdown activates at ~150°C junction temperature with 20°C hysteresis, while current limiting clamps output at 1.1–1.5A depending on input voltage and temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5V ±1% at 100mA, ±2% over full temperature range - ensures reliable core voltage for 1.5V I/O standards. |
| Max Output Current | 1.0A continuous - supports high-current digital loads such as FPGA banks or multi-core SoC peripherals. |
| Dropout Voltage | 500mV at 1A load - enables operation from 2.0V input (e.g., single Li-ion cell post-regulation) while maintaining regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 70µA typical - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or sensor interfaces. |
| PSRR | 65dB at 1kHz, 45dB at 10kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 70°C/W (U-DFN3030-8 on 2"x2" FR-4 with thermal vias) - defines maximum power dissipation before thermal shutdown under defined PCB layout. |
| Start-Up Time | 200µs to 90% of 1.5V output with 1µF output cap - enables rapid wake-up from deep-sleep modes in portable devices. |
Pinout & Package
AP7361-15FGE-7 uses the U-DFN3030-8 (3.0mm × 3.0mm, 0.5mm pitch) thermally enhanced package with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is OUT; Pin 2 is GND; Pin 3 is ADJ/NC (no connection in fixed-voltage variant); Pin 4 is GND; Pin 5 is EN; Pin 6 is NC; Pin 7 is NC; Pin 8 is IN.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.5V to load; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability and transient response. |
| Pin 2 (GND) | Power ground | Primary return path for load current; must be connected to low-impedance ground plane adjacent to thermal pad. |
| Pin 3 (ADJ/NC) | Adjust pin / no connect | No connection in fixed-output variants; left floating or tied to GND per design - not used for voltage setting. |
| Pin 4 (GND) | Second ground terminal | Provides additional low-inductance ground path; must be soldered to thermal pad and ground plane. |
| Pin 5 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; pulls regulator into shutdown mode when <0.3V, enabling system-level power sequencing. |
| Pin 6, 7 (NC) | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain unconnected and unbonded on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling. |
| Pin 8 (IN) | Input supply | Accepts 2.2V–6.0V input; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2mm of pin for noise rejection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 500mV at 1A load enables use with 2.0V input sources - critical for single-cell Li-ion or USB-powered systems. |
| Low quiescent current | 70µA typical allows >1-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors powered by coin cells or small LiPo packs. |
| Ceramic capacitor stability | Stable with ≥2.2µF X5R/X7R ceramic output caps (10–300mΩ ESR) - eliminates need for bulk tantalum or electrolytic capacitors. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (1.1–1.5A), short-circuit clamp (~200mA), and thermal shutdown (150°C/130°C hysteresis) prevent field failures under fault conditions. |
| Fast transient response | 200µs start-up time and high PSRR (>60dB @1kHz) maintain clean 1.5V rail during sudden load steps in FPGA I/O switching. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1703T-1502E/MB | 150mA max output, 600mV dropout at 150mA, 2.5µA IQ - lower current, much lower quiescent current. | Not suitable for 1A FPGA I/O; better for ultra-low-power sensor nodes where <100µA total system sleep current is mandatory. | Select only if load current ≤150mA and sub-µA IQ is prioritized over output capability. |
| Torex XC6210B152MR-G | 1A output, 250mV dropout at 300mA, 1.0µA IQ - lower dropout at light loads but higher thermal resistance (θJA = 120°C/W in SOT-25). | Limited to ≤300mA continuous in compact layouts due to thermal constraints; unsuitable for sustained 1A loads without large copper area. | Prefer for space-constrained designs with <300mA peak load and strict 1µA IQ requirement; avoid for full 1A applications. |
Compared with MCP1703T-1502E/MB and XC6210B152MR-G, AP7361-15FGE-7 uniquely balances 1A delivery, 500mV dropout at full load, 70µA IQ, and 70°C/W thermal performance in a 3×3mm DFN - making it optimal for compact, battery-powered systems demanding both high current and moderate efficiency.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP7361-15FGE-7 to regulate 1.5V output at 1A?
The minimum input voltage is 2.0V, calculated as VOUT + VDROPOUT = 1.5V + 0.5V. The datasheet specifies 500mV dropout at 1A load, and absolute minimum VIN is 2.2V - so 2.0V represents the theoretical regulation boundary, but 2.2V is the guaranteed operational floor per Recommended Operating Conditions.
Can AP7361-15FGE-7 operate without an output capacitor?
No. An output capacitor ≥2.2µF ceramic is mandatory for stability and transient response. The device is not internally compensated for no-capacitor operation. Omitting the output capacitor causes oscillation and unregulated output, potentially damaging downstream circuitry.
Is the EN pin compatible with 1.8V logic levels?
Yes. With VIH ≥1.0V (min) and VIL ≤0.3V (max), the EN pin accepts standard 1.8V CMOS logic high (≥1.0V) and reliably interprets 0V as disable. No level-shifting is needed when driven directly from 1.8V GPIOs.
How does thermal shutdown behave during sustained overload?
When junction temperature reaches ~150°C, the output disables; it re-enables only after cooling to ~130°C (20°C hysteresis). Under continuous overload, this causes on/off cycling - visible as output voltage pulsing at ~1–10Hz depending on PCB thermal mass and airflow - protecting the IC from permanent damage.
