Product details
Overview
AP7375-18SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.8V fixed-output, 300mA ultra-low-dropout linear regulator with 45V max input voltage, 2.1μA quiescent current, and SOT23-3 package. It integrates EN pin rated to 45V, thermal shutdown, short-circuit protection, and delivers ±2% output accuracy - deployed in battery-powered smoke detectors where wide VIN range and low IQ enable multi-year operation on coin cells.
For engineers reviewing the AP7375-18SA-7 datasheet, AP7375-18SA-7 pinout, AP7375-18SA-7 application, or AP7375-18SA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 10mA (35mV typ.), PSRR of 85dB @ 1kHz, fast load transient response without overshoot, and compatibility with 1μF ceramic input / 10μF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP7375-18SA-7 employs a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling true low-dropout operation down to 35mV at light load and 350mV at 100mA. Its EN pin accepts up to 45V directly, eliminating level-shifting circuitry in high-VIN systems.
Internal compensation ensures stability with 1μF–10μF ceramic output capacitors; fast line/load transient response is achieved via high-gain error amplifier and optimized loop dynamics - verified by <1ms recovery with no overshoot during short-circuit recovery or startup.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±2% - enables direct powering of low-voltage MCUs and sensors without external feedback. |
| Max Input Voltage | 45V - supports industrial 24V/36V rails and automotive load-dump conditions without pre-regulation. |
| Dropout Voltage | 35mV @ 10mA (typ.) - sustains regulation down to VIN = 1.835V, critical for end-of-battery-life operation. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.1μA (typ.) - extends battery life in always-on smoke detectors beyond 10 years with CR2032. |
| PSRR | 85dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Triggers at +150°C with +20°C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
| Enable Threshold | VENH = 1V min, VENL = 0.4V max - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIOs and robust against noise on EN line. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 (Package Code: SA) - 2.9mm × 1.3mm × 1.0mm body, 0.95mm pitch, matte tin-plated leads, JEDEC-compliant footprint. Exposed pad absent; thermal dissipation relies on copper area under GND pin.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input supply connection | Accepts 3V–45V; requires 1μF ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin for stability and noise rejection. |
| 2 (GND) | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path for both input and output currents; must connect to main system ground plane. |
| 3 (VOUT) | Regulated output terminal | Delivers 1.8V ±2% at up to 300mA; output capacitor (≥10μF ceramic) must be placed within 2mm of this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide input range (3V–45V) | Eliminates need for external step-down stage in 12V/24V battery or industrial systems. |
| No overshoot during startup/short-circuit recovery | Guarantees safe power sequencing for sensitive microcontrollers and analog sensors. |
| 45V-rated EN pin | Enables direct high-side enable control from unregulated rails - no external resistor divider required. |
| ±2% output accuracy over temp/load | Meets tight tolerance requirements for ADC references and precision sensor biasing. |
| Lead-free, halogen-free, RoHS 3 compliant | Fulfills global environmental compliance mandates for consumer, industrial, and automotive end equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-IQ, wide-input LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1703T-1802E/MB | 2.3μA IQ, 25V max VIN, SOT23-3, 300mA - lacks 45V EN pin and fast transient immunity. | Restricted to ≤25V systems; requires external EN level shift for 24V+ rails. | Choose when input never exceeds 25V and cost sensitivity outweighs transient robustness. |
| TPS7A1633DRBR | 17μA IQ, 60V max VIN, 150mA, SON-8 - higher IQ, lower current, different package and pinout. | Not drop-in; requires PCB redesign and larger layout area; better for 60V automotive but over-specified for 45V industrial. | Prefer only if 60V rating is mandatory and 150mA suffices; otherwise AP7375-18SA-7 offers superior IQ and footprint efficiency. |
Compared with MCP1703T-1802E/MB and TPS7A1633DRBR, the AP7375-18SA-7 uniquely combines 45V input, 45V EN pin, 2.1μA IQ, and SOT23-3 footprint - delivering optimal balance of ultra-low power, high-voltage resilience, and minimal board space for long-life battery and industrial 24V systems.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 1.8V output?
The AP7375-18SA-7 requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROP(max). At 10mA load, VDROP is 50mV (max), so minimum VIN is 1.85V. However, per datasheet Note 5, full internal operation begins only when VIN ≥ 3V or (VOUT + VDROP(max)), whichever is greater - thus 3V is the practical minimum for guaranteed functionality.
Can the EN pin be left floating?
No. The EN pin must be actively driven high (≥1V) to enable or low (≤0.4V) to disable. Leaving it floating risks undefined output state due to noise coupling or leakage paths. For default-enable operation, tie EN to VIN through a 100kΩ resistor; for default-disable, tie to GND.
Is an external bypass capacitor required on the VOUT pin?
Yes. A minimum 10μF ceramic capacitor (X5R/X7R) is required at VOUT for stability and transient response. Lower values (e.g., 1μF) may cause oscillation or excessive undershoot/overshoot during load steps. Place it within 2mm of VOUT and GND pins using short, wide traces.
Does AP7375-18SA-7 support reverse polarity protection?
No. The device lacks integrated reverse-voltage protection. If input polarity reversal is possible in the system, an external series Schottky diode (with VF < 0.3V) or ideal diode controller must be added between VIN and the AP7375 input to prevent damage.
