Product details
Overview
AP7366-12W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 1.2V, 600mA low-dropout linear regulator in SOT25 package with 60μA quiescent current, 300mV dropout at 600mA, and 75dB PSRR at 1kHz-designed for FPGA I/O power, battery-powered sensors, and portable consumer electronics requiring stable low-noise voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the AP7366-12W5-7 datasheet, AP7366-12W5-7 pinout, AP7366-12W5-7 application, or AP7366-12W5-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal behavior, EN-controlled startup timing, output stability with 1µF ceramic capacitors, and real-world transient response data for rapid integration into space-constrained, low-power systems.
Technical Context
The AP7366-12W5-7 integrates a PMOS pass element, precision 0.8V bandgap reference, and error amplifier to deliver tightly regulated 1.2V output across -40°C to +85°C ambient. Its enable logic (VIH = 1.0V, VIL = 0.3V) supports direct microcontroller GPIO control without level-shifting.
Thermal shutdown triggers at +150°C with +20°C hysteresis, and current-limit protection clamps output to ~1.0A during overload. Short-circuit protection limits sustained fault current to 250mA while maintaining 15% output recovery threshold-enabling safe operation in unattended embedded nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2V ±1.5% accuracy over load (1mA–600mA) and temperature (−40°C to +85°C) |
| Max Output Current | 600mA continuous; current limit trips at 0.66A–1.0A to prevent thermal runaway |
| Dropout Voltage | 140mV typical at 300mA; 285mV typical at 600mA-enables operation with VIN as low as 1.485V |
| Quiescent Current | 60μA typical (0–6V input range)-extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz, 55dB at 10kHz-suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters |
| Start-Up Time | 150μs from EN high to VOUT reaching 90% of 1.2V-supports fast wake-up in low-power MCU sleep modes |
| Stability | Guaranteed with ≥1µF ceramic output capacitor (ESR 10–300mΩ)-reduces BOM count vs. electrolytic solutions |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 package (3.0mm × 2.8mm × 1.3mm), thermally enhanced with exposed pad (not electrically connected); JEDEC MO-203AA compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.2V–6V; requires ≥1µF MLCC bypass to GND within 2mm trace length |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for load current and internal bias; connects to thermal pad for heat dissipation |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic interface (VIH ≥1.0V); internal 3MΩ pulldown ensures default-off state |
| 4 - NC | No connection | Unbonded die pad; must remain floating-no PCB trace or copper pour allowed |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 1.2V @ up to 600mA; requires ≥1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-IQ operation | 60μA IQ enables >1-year runtime on coin-cell batteries in 10μA average-load IoT endpoints |
| Fast transient response | Load step (100mA→500mA) induces <25mV undershoot-minimizes logic glitches in FPGA I/O banks |
| Thermal robustness | 169°C/W θJA (SOT25) with recommended pad layout; shutdown activates before junction exceeds +150°C |
| EN-controlled sequencing | 150μs start-up enables precise power-up timing relative to system clocks or other rails |
| Short-circuit resilience | 250mA foldback current during GND fault prevents PCB trace damage and allows auto-recovery |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1202E/TT | 300mA max output, 1.8μA IQ, no EN pin, SOT23-5 package | Limited to sub-300mA loads; unsuitable for FPGA I/O or fast transient scenarios | Select only for ultra-low-IQ battery monitoring where 600mA headroom and EN control are unnecessary |
| Torex XC6210B122MR-G | 1.2V fixed, 500mA, 25μA IQ, 250mV dropout at 500mA, SOT25 | Lower IQ but reduced current capability and weaker PSRR (65dB @ 1kHz) | Prefer when system load never exceeds 500mA and noise immunity is secondary to battery longevity |
Compared with MCP1700T-1202E/TT and XC6210B122MR-G, AP7366-12W5-7 uniquely balances 600mA drive, 60μA IQ, 75dB PSRR, and EN control in SOT25-making it optimal for FPGA I/O, industrial controllers, and medical sensors demanding both performance and reliability.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP7366-12W5-7 to maintain regulation at full 600mA load?
The minimum input voltage is calculated as VOUT + VDROPOUT = 1.2V + 0.285V = 1.485V (typical at 600mA). However, the absolute minimum specified operating VIN is 2.2V per datasheet-ensuring guaranteed performance across temperature, process variation, and line/load regulation. Below 2.2V, regulation is not assured even if dropout appears sufficient.
Can AP7366-12W5-7 operate without an external output capacitor?
No. The device requires a minimum 1µF ceramic output capacitor (10–300mΩ ESR) for stability, as confirmed by the datasheet's "Stable with Low ESR, 1µF Ceramic Output Capacitor" feature and application note guidance. Omitting it risks oscillation, excessive overshoot/undershoot during transients, and potential thermal shutdown under load.
How does the EN pin behave during power-up if left unconnected?
The EN pin has an internal 3MΩ pulldown resistor (RENPD), so an unconnected EN defaults to logic-low-keeping the regulator disabled. This prevents unintended power-on during board insertion or hot-swap events. To enable operation, EN must be actively driven above 1.0V (VIH min) by a host controller or tied to VIN through a current-limiting resistor.
Is AP7366-12W5-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No. The AP7366-12W5-7 is rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes explicitly states that automotive-grade versions require separate qualification, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing-none of which apply to this part number. Use only in commercial/industrial environments.
