Product details
Overview
AP7366-18W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 1.8V, 600mA low-dropout linear regulator in SOT25 package, featuring 60μA quiescent current, 300mV dropout at full load, 75dB PSRR at 1kHz, and integrated enable control. It delivers stable core/I/O power for FPGA, DSP, and battery-powered portable electronics with fast 150μs startup and thermal shutdown protection.
For engineers reviewing the AP7366-18W5-7 datasheet, AP7366-18W5-7 pinout, AP7366-18W5-7 application, or AP7366-18W5-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include output voltage accuracy (±1.0% for 1.8V), load regulation (±1.0%), EN logic thresholds (VIH = 1.0V min), and compatibility with 1μF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP7366-18W5-7 implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture with internal 0.8V bandgap reference and error amplifier, enabling stable regulation across 2.2V–6V input range. Its current-limit circuit triggers at 660mA typical and short-circuit protection clamps output to ~250mA when VOUT drops below 15% of nominal.
Thermal shutdown activates at +150°C junction temperature with +20°C hysteresis, and the device remains stable without minimum load. The EN pin provides active-high logic control with 3MΩ internal pulldown resistor and ±0.1μA leakage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±1.0% at 10mA load; ensures precise core rail for 1.8V I/O interfaces |
| Max Output Current | 600mA continuous; supports mid-power digital loads like FPGA I/O banks |
| Quiescent Current | 60μA typical; enables >1-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Dropout Voltage | 300mV at 600mA; allows operation down to 2.1V input for single-cell Li-ion systems |
| PSRR | 75dB at 1kHz; suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters |
| Start-Up Time | 150μs to 3V; meets real-time wake-up requirements in portable devices |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C ambient; qualified for industrial and extended commercial environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 package (3.0mm × 2.8mm × 1.3mm) with exposed thermal pad not connected internally; requires minimum 1oz copper pour for thermal management per Diodes' recommended layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Input voltage supply | Bypassed to GND with ≥1μF MLCC; must be routed with wide trace to minimize impedance |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Common return path for IN, OUT, and EN; connects to PCB ground plane for stability |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic: drives ON above 1.0V; internal 3MΩ pulldown holds OFF when floating |
| 4 - NC | No connection | Unbonded die pad; must remain unconnected and un-routed on PCB |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 1.8V; bypassed with ≥1μF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low ESR capacitor support | Stable with 1μF ceramic output capacitor (10–300mΩ ESR); reduces BOM count and board space |
| Fast transient response | Load step recovery <200μs with <30mV undershoot; maintains digital logic integrity during burst-mode operation |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (660mA typ), short-circuit clamp (~250mA), and thermal shutdown (+150°C) prevent field failures |
| No minimum load requirement | Regulates stably at 0mA output; eliminates need for dummy load resistors in sleep modes |
| Ultra-low IQ | 60μA across full 2.2–6V input range; extends runtime in coin-cell and energy-harvesting applications |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-quiescent-current LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-1802E/TO | 250mA max output, 1.8V fixed, 1.6μA IQ, SOT23-3 package | Limited to sub-300mA loads; lacks EN pin and thermal shutdown | Select only for ultra-low-IQ micro-power sensor nodes where 250mA suffices and enable control is unnecessary |
| TLS850F0TES/V1 | 500mA, 1.8V fixed, 35μA IQ, AEC-Q100 Grade 2 automotive qualification | Automotive-qualified with wider temp range (−40°C to +125°C) and stricter ESD (4kV HBM) | Choose for automotive infotainment I/O rails requiring PPAP documentation and IATF 16949 traceability |
Compared with MCP1700-1802E/TO and TLS850F0TES/V1, the AP7366-18W5-7 uniquely balances 600mA capability, 60μA IQ, EN control, and full protection suite in a cost-effective SOT25 package-making it optimal for industrial and portable consumer designs where performance and reliability intersect.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for AP7366-18W5-7?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 6.5V, but the recommended operating range is 2.2V to 6.0V. Operation above 6.0V risks exceeding thermal limits under load, especially in SOT25 without enhanced heatsinking. For 6V input at 600mA, power dissipation reaches ~1.8W-requiring careful thermal design per the 169°C/W θJA rating.
Does AP7366-18W5-7 require an external feedback resistor network?
No. As a fixed-output variant, AP7366-18W5-7 has internal resistor divider set for 1.8V and does not use the ADJ pin. Pin 4 is NC (no connection), and the ADJ terminal is unconnected internally-eliminating calibration drift and reducing layout complexity versus adjustable versions.
Can AP7366-18W5-7 operate without an output capacitor?
No. A minimum 1μF ceramic output capacitor is mandatory for stability and transient response. Omitting it causes oscillation and output voltage collapse under load. Diodes specifies 10–300mΩ ESR range; using tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors outside this range may induce instability or excessive overshoot.
Is AP7366-18W5-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No. AP7366-18W5-7 is rated for −40°C to +85°C ambient and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., AP7366Q series) with PPAP support, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and extended temperature testing-but this specific part number is intended for industrial and commercial use only.
