Product details
Overview
AP7361-28ER-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1A fixed-output (2.8V) ultra-low dropout linear regulator in SOT223R package with enable control, 70µA quiescent current, 500mV dropout at full load, and thermal shutdown protection. It powers FPGA I/O rails, laptop subsystems, and battery-powered audio devices requiring stable low-noise 2.8V supply.
For engineers reviewing the AP7361-28ER-13 datasheet, AP7361-28ER-13 pinout, AP7361-28ER-13 application, or AP7361-28ER-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 1A, EN pin logic thresholds, thermal resistance (110°C/W), output accuracy (±2%), and ceramic capacitor stability down to 2.2µF.
Technical Context
The AP7361-28ER-13 implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture with internal 0.8V bandgap reference and error amplifier for precise output regulation. Its enable circuitry responds to VIH ≥ 1.0V and VIL ≤ 0.3V, supporting direct microcontroller GPIO control without level shifting.
Thermal shutdown activates at +150°C with 20°C hysteresis, and current limiting triggers at 1.1–1.5A depending on input voltage and temperature. The device maintains regulation from -40°C to +85°C ambient with no minimum load requirement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8V ±2% over -40°C to +85°C, enabling direct replacement of legacy 2.8V LDOs without resistor divider. |
| Dropout Voltage | 500mV at 1A load ensures stable 2.8V output even when input drops to 3.3V - critical for single-cell Li-ion or buck-boost pre-regulated systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 70µA typical enables >1-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors powered by 200mAh coin cells. |
| PSRR | 65dB at 1kHz suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters, reducing need for additional filtering in audio power rails. |
| Output Capacitor | Stable with ≥2.2µF ceramic (10–300mΩ ESR), allowing compact 0603/0805 MLCC placement adjacent to IC for optimal transient response. |
| Enable Threshold | VIH = 1.0V min allows direct interface with 1.8V/3.3V logic without pull-up resistors or level translators. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 110°C/W in SOT223R package requires minimal copper area (≥100mm²) for 1A continuous operation at 60°C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
SOT223R package features exposed thermal pad on bottom side, with pin 1 = GND, pin 2 = OUT, pin 3 = IN. Pin 4 is NC. Thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for rated 1A performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Power and signal reference ground | Primary return path for load current and internal bias; connects directly to thermal pad for heat dissipation. |
| OUT (Pin 2) | Regulated 2.8V output | Delivers up to 1A; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of this pin and GND for stability. |
| IN (Pin 3) | Input supply (2.2–6.0V) | Accepts wide input range; needs ≥1µF ceramic bypass capacitor close to IN–GND to suppress high-frequency noise. |
| NC (Pin 4) | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no external tie or trace routing permitted. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 500mV at 1A enables operation from 3.3V rail while delivering full 2.8V - avoids need for higher-input buck converters in space-constrained designs. |
| Fast start-up time | 200µs typical allows rapid power cycling of peripherals in portable devices, reducing system wake-up latency without increasing IQ. |
| Ceramic capacitor stability | Guaranteed stable with 2.2µF X5R/X7R MLCC (10–300mΩ ESR), eliminating costly tantalum or polymer capacitors and simplifying BOM. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (1.1–1.5A), short-circuit clamp (~200mA), and thermal shutdown (+150°C) prevent field failures without external circuitry. |
| Green packaging | Halogen- and antimony-free, fully RoHS-compliant molding compound meets IPC-1752A Tier 1 reporting requirements for automotive and industrial programs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1703T-2802E/MB | Higher dropout (600mV @1A), higher IQ (2.5µA), SOIC-8 package only | Lacks SOT223R thermal performance; unsuitable for 1A continuous in confined spaces | Choose only if board already uses SOIC footprint and thermal margin exceeds 25°C |
| Torex XC6210B282MR-G | Lower IQ (1.2µA), smaller USP-6B package, but 300mA max output current | Cannot support 1A FPGA I/O loads; limited to sensor or MCU core rails | Select when ultra-low standby power dominates over output current capability |
Compared with MCP1703T-2802E/MB and XC6210B282MR-G, the AP7361-28ER-13 uniquely delivers 1A output in thermally optimized SOT223R with 500mV dropout and 70µA IQ - making it the only viable choice for compact, high-current, battery-sensitive applications where both thermal headroom and efficiency matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for AP7361-28ER-13?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 6.5V, but the recommended operating range is 2.2V to 6.0V. Exceeding 6.0V risks violating the 0.3V overvoltage limit on EN and ADJ pins relative to VIN, potentially damaging internal ESD structures. For 2.8V output, inputs above 5.5V increase power dissipation disproportionately without functional benefit.
Can AP7361-28ER-13 be used without an enable signal?
Yes - tie the EN pin directly to the IN pin to maintain permanent enable state. This configuration draws only 70µA quiescent current and eliminates external pull-up components. Do not leave EN floating, as leakage currents may cause unpredictable turn-on behavior or increased shutdown current.
Is a minimum load required for stability?
No minimum load is required. The AP7361-28ER-13 remains stable and regulated from zero load to full 1A, verified across -40°C to +85°C. This eliminates the need for dummy loads in always-on monitoring circuits or low-power sleep modes where load current drops to microamps.
How does thermal shutdown behave under sustained overload?
When junction temperature reaches +150°C, the output disables and remains off until temperature falls to +130°C (20°C hysteresis). Under continuous overload, this causes on-off cycling - measurable as periodic 200µs start-up bursts. To avoid cycling, ensure θJA × (VIN − VOUT) × IOUT + TA ≤ 130°C, using the SOT223R's 110°C/W rating.
