Product details
Overview
AP7365-18EG-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 1.8V, 600mA low-dropout linear regulator with 35μA quiescent current, 300mV dropout at full load, and integrated enable control. It operates from 2V to 6V input, delivers ±2% output accuracy over –40°C to +85°C, and stabilizes with only 1μF ceramic output capacitance. It is used in FPGA I/O power rails where fast transient response and ultra-low IQ are critical.
For engineers reviewing the AP7365-18EG-13 datasheet, AP7365-18EG-13 pinout, AP7365-18EG-13 application, or AP7365-18EG-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 600mA, PSRR at 1kHz, thermal shutdown threshold, EN logic thresholds, and SOT223-E package thermal resistance (142°C/W).
Technical Context
The AP7365-18EG-13 implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout and high PSRR (65dB @ 1kHz). Its internal 0.8V bandgap reference feeds an error amplifier that regulates output via feedback from the fixed 1.8V divider network embedded in the die.
Enable functionality uses CMOS-compatible thresholds (VIH = 1.4V min, VIL = 0.4V max), and protection includes foldback current limiting (1.4A typ), short-circuit clamping (240mA), and thermal shutdown at +145°C with +15°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±2% over –40°C to +85°C - ensures stable core/I/O rail for low-voltage FPGAs and DSPs. |
| Max Output Current | 600mA continuous - supports moderate-power digital loads without external boost circuitry. |
| Dropout Voltage | 300mV at 600mA (VOUT ≥ 2.5V) - enables operation down to VIN = 2.1V while maintaining regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 35μA typical - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and portable devices. |
| PSRR | 65dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Start-Up Time | 200μs - allows rapid power sequencing in multi-rail systems with tight timing budgets. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +145°C junction threshold with +15°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
AP7365-18EG-13 is packaged in SOT223-E (E Package), featuring a thermally enhanced tab-connected GND pin for improved heat dissipation. The 3-pin configuration minimizes board space while supporting up to 142°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under standard layout conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 3) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2V–6V; requires ≥1μF MLCC bypass to GND close to pin for stability and noise rejection. |
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference and thermal pad | Connected to exposed thermal tab; must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal management. |
| OUT (Pin 2) | Regulated 1.8V output | Delivers up to 600mA; stable with ≥1μF ceramic capacitor (ESR >15mΩ) placed adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout with PMOS pass element | 300mV @ 600mA enables single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) or dual-cell alkaline (2.4V min) operation. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 35μA typical ensures <1% battery drain in standby mode for multi-year IoT deployments. |
| Fast transient response | Stabilizes within microseconds during 10mA ↔ 600mA load steps - critical for burst-mode DSP/FPGA operation. |
| Integrated protection suite | Current limit (1.4A), short-circuit clamp (240mA), and thermal shutdown prevent field failures under fault conditions. |
| EN-compatible logic interface | VIH = 1.4V min / VIL = 0.4V max allows direct connection to 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-1802E/TO | 300mA max output, 2.0μA IQ, SOT23-3 package - lower current, far lower IQ, no EN pin. | Suitable only for micro-power MCU cores, not FPGA I/O or sensor hubs requiring 600mA. | Select only when load current ≤300mA and IQ <5μA is mandatory; not drop-in compatible. |
| Torex XC6219B182MR-G | 600mA, 1.0μA IQ, no EN, 1.2V–5.0V adjustable only - lacks enable control and fixed 1.8V option. | Requires external resistor divider; unsuitable for space-constrained designs needing pin-strapped 1.8V. | Choose if EN functionality is unnecessary and board area permits external feedback components. |
Compared with MCP1700-1802E/TO and XC6219B182MR-G, AP7365-18EG-13 uniquely combines 600mA drive, 35μA IQ, integrated EN, fixed 1.8V output, and SOT223 thermal performance - making it optimal for FPGA I/O and industrial sensor node power where all four attributes are required simultaneously.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP7365-18EG-13 to maintain regulation at 600mA?
The device requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROPOUT = 1.8V + 0.3V = 2.1V to sustain 600mA output while regulated. Absolute minimum VIN is 2.0V per datasheet, but operation below 2.1V risks dropout under full load. Input must also stay within absolute max rating of 6.5V.
Can AP7365-18EG-13 operate without an external output capacitor?
No. A minimum 1μF ceramic capacitor with ESR >15mΩ is required between OUT and GND for stability. Omitting it causes oscillation and potential damage. Larger values improve transient response but do not compromise stability.
Is the EN pin internally pulled up or down?
The EN pin has no internal pull-up or pull-down. It must be actively driven to ≥1.4V for enable or ≤0.4V for disable. Leaving it floating may cause unpredictable startup behavior; tie to IN for always-on operation.
How does thermal performance differ between SOT223-E and SOT223-ER packages?
SOT223-E (used in AP7365-18EG-13) places GND on Pin 1 and the thermal tab, yielding θJA = 142°C/W. SOT223-ER swaps GND to Pin 3 and tab, resulting in higher θJA (158°C/W per Diodes' characterization) - E-package offers superior thermal efficiency for same PCB layout.
