Product details
Overview
AP7361C-15D-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1A fixed-output (1.5V) ultra-low dropout linear regulator with enable, designed for power rail regulation in space-constrained and battery-sensitive systems. It delivers ±1% output accuracy, 360mV dropout at 1A (for 3.3V variant; 1.5V dropout is 600mV typ), 60µA quiescent current, and integrates thermal shutdown, fold-back short-circuit protection (400mA), and current limit (1.5A). It powers core logic rails in LCD-TVs and set-top boxes.
For engineers reviewing the AP7361C-15D-13 datasheet, AP7361C-15D-13 pinout, AP7361C-15D-13 application, or AP7361C-15D-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 1.5V output, EN pin logic thresholds (VIH = 1.0V min), thermal resistance of TO252 package (95°C/W), stability with ≥2.2µF MLCC output capacitors, and compatibility with no-load operation.
Technical Context
The AP7361C-15D-13 uses a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout and high PSRR (75dB @ 1kHz). Its internal 0.8V bandgap reference feeds an error amplifier that regulates output via adjustable or fixed feedback-here hardwired to 1.5V using internal resistor network.
Enable control is active-high with 1.0V minimum VIH and 0.3V maximum VIL; internal 3.0MΩ EN pull-down ensures default-off behavior. Protection includes fold-back current limiting (400mA short-circuit clamp), thermal shutdown at 150°C with 20°C hysteresis, and input overvoltage tolerance up to 6.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5V ±1% - ensures stable core supply for 1.5V I/O or low-voltage logic without external resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 1.0A continuous - supports moderate-power digital subsystems like HDMI PHY or audio DACs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 600mV typical at 1A (1.5V output) - enables regulation from 2.1V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 2.5V system rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 60µA typical - minimizes standby power loss in always-on consumer electronics. |
| PSRR | 75dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C threshold with 20°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
| EN Logic Thresholds | VIH ≥ 1.0V, VIL ≤ 0.3V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
AP7361C-15D-13 is packaged in TO252 (DPAK), a thermally enhanced surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 = IN, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = OUT - no EN or ADJ pins are bonded out in this fixed-output DPAK variant per datasheet pin assignment table.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.2V–6.0V; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin for noise immunity. |
| Pin 2 (GND) | Power ground reference | Common return path for input/output currents; must connect directly to low-impedance ground plane. |
| Pin 3 (OUT) | Regulated 1.5V output | Delivers up to 1A; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic output capacitor near pin for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout architecture | 600mV typ @ 1A (1.5V output) enables operation from marginal input rails like partially discharged batteries. |
| Integrated enable with pull-down | 3.0MΩ internal EN pull-down ensures safe power-up state; eliminates need for external pull-down resistor. |
| Fold-back short-circuit protection | Limits output to ~400mA during short, reducing power dissipation and preventing thermal runaway. |
| Stability with low-ESR capacitors | Guaranteed stable with ≥2.2µF MLCCs - avoids bulkier, higher-ESR electrolytics and saves board space. |
| No minimum load requirement | Remains regulated and stable at zero load - ideal for intermittent-use peripherals in standby mode. |
Applications
| LCD-TV Power Management | Set-Top Box Core Rail |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1502E/MB | 250mA max output, 6µA IQ, SOT23-5 package - lower current, much lower quiescent current. | Suitable only for ultra-low-power microcontrollers or sensors, not 1A loads. | Select when load current < 250mA and battery life is paramount; not drop-in for AP7361C-15D-13's 1A capability. |
| TLS850B2TEV50 | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100), 500mA, integrated watchdog and reset - higher reliability, lower current, more features. | Designed for automotive body electronics requiring functional safety; not optimized for consumer cost or footprint. | Choose for automotive infotainment or ADAS modules needing qualification; over-specified for consumer STBs or TVs. |
Compared with MCP1700T-1502E/MB and TLS850B2TEV50, the AP7361C-15D-13 uniquely balances 1A output, 60µA IQ, TO252 thermal performance (95°C/W), and consumer-grade cost-making it optimal for high-volume, space-constrained 1.5V rail generation where automotive qualification or sub-100µA IQ are unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for AP7361C-15D-13?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 6.5V. Operation above this risks permanent damage. For reliable continuous use, the recommended maximum is 6.0V per datasheet operating conditions. Exceeding 6.0V-even briefly-may trigger thermal shutdown or degrade long-term reliability due to increased power dissipation in the TO252 package.
Does AP7361C-15D-13 require an external resistor divider for 1.5V output?
No. The "-15" suffix denotes factory-trimmed fixed 1.5V output; internal feedback resistors are laser-adjusted during production. No external ADJ resistors are needed or supported-pin 4 (ADJ/NC) is unconnected in the TO252 package per datasheet pin mapping.
Can AP7361C-15D-13 be used without an enable signal?
Yes. Since the TO252 package lacks an EN pin (as confirmed in pin assignment tables), the device operates continuously when powered. There is no enable functionality in this variant-unlike U-DFN3030-8 or SO-8EP versions-so it functions as a simple, always-on LDO.
What output capacitor value is required for stability with AP7361C-15D-13?
A minimum 2.2µF ceramic capacitor is required on the output for guaranteed stability across temperature and load. Larger values (e.g., 4.7µF–10µF) improve load transient response and reduce output ripple. Tantalum or polymer capacitors may be used if ESR is within 10–100mΩ, but MLCCs are preferred for lowest ESR and smallest footprint.
