Product details
Overview
AP7375-33SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.3V fixed-output, wide-input (3–45V), 300mA ultra-low-dropout linear regulator in SOT23-3 package, featuring 2.1μA quiescent current, 35mV dropout at 10mA, and integrated enable pin rated to 45V. It delivers stable power to microcontrollers and sensors in battery-powered smoke detectors.
For engineers reviewing the AP7375-33SA-7 datasheet, AP7375-33SA-7 pinout, AP7375-33SA-7 application, or AP7375-33SA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range up to 45V, ±2% output accuracy, thermal shutdown behavior, PSRR of 85dB at 1kHz, and compatibility with 1μF input / 10μF output ceramic capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP7375-33SA-7 employs a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout and high PSRR. Its EN pin accepts up to 45V directly-eliminating external level-shifting circuitry for high-side enable control in automotive or industrial supply rails.
Internal protection includes foldback current limiting (500mA typical) and thermal shutdown at +150°C with +20°C hysteresis. Fast transient response ensures no overshoot during startup or short-circuit recovery, verified under 10–300mA load steps with 200μs settling time.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 45V - supports direct connection to 12V/24V/36V industrial or automotive batteries without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | 3.3V ±2% - meets tight tolerance requirements for MCU I/O and sensor analog supply rails. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA - sufficient for ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontrollers with peripherals active. |
| Dropout Voltage | 35mV @ 10mA / 350mV @ 100mA - enables regulation down to VIN = VOUT + 0.35V at full load. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.1μA (typ.) - extends battery life in always-on smoke detectors beyond 10 years on CR123A cells. |
| PSRR | 85dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +150°C with +20°C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 (Package Code: SA) is a 3-pin surface-mount package with exposed pad not present; thermal dissipation relies on PCB copper area connected to GND via pin 2. Pin pitch is 0.95mm, body size 2.9mm × 1.3mm × 1.0mm.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | Main input supply rail; accepts 3–45V; requires 1μF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference; must connect to low-impedance PCB ground plane to minimize noise and ensure stability. |
| 3 | VOUT | Regulated 3.3V output; requires 10μF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of pin for transient response and stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 45V-tolerant EN pin | Enables direct high-voltage enable control without external resistor divider or level shifter. |
| No-startup overshoot | Guaranteed monotonic VOUT ramp during power-on, critical for FPGA configuration and flash programming sequences. |
| Short-circuit foldback | Limits output current to ~500mA during fault, reducing power dissipation and preventing thermal runaway. |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | RoHS 3 and JEDEC MSL Level 1 compliant; suitable for consumer, industrial, and automotive-qualified designs. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7B8733QDDARQ1 | Automotive-grade AEC-Q100, 40V max input, 350mA, 28μA IQ, no 45V EN pin | Requires external EN level shift for >40V systems; higher IQ reduces battery life | Choose only if AEC-Q100 qualification is mandatory and input stays ≤40V. |
| MCP1703T-3302E/MB | 25V max input, 250mA, 2.0μA IQ, 3.3V fixed, no high-voltage EN | Cannot support 36V+ battery inputs; lacks integrated short-circuit foldback | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs input voltage headroom and protection depth. |
Compared with TPS7B8733QDDARQ1 and MCP1703T-3302E/MB, the AP7375-33SA-7 uniquely combines 45V input/EN tolerance, 300mA capability, and sub-3μA quiescent current-enabling single-LDO solutions in high-voltage battery and industrial power architectures where space and BOM count are constrained.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 3.3V output?
The AP7375-33SA-7 requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROP. At 10mA load, dropout is 35mV (typ.), so minimum VIN is 3.335V. At 100mA, dropout rises to 350mV (typ.), requiring VIN ≥ 3.65V. The device will not regulate below 3V input regardless of load.
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 may cause unpredictable output behavior due to internal leakage paths; Diodes recommends connecting EN to VIN through a pull-up resistor or to GND via a switch.
Is an external bypass capacitor required on the VOUT pin?
Yes. A minimum 1μF ceramic capacitor (X7R/X5R) is required for stability, and 10μF is recommended for optimal load transient response. The capacitor must be placed within 2mm of VOUT and GND pins; larger values further reduce undershoot/overshoot during dynamic load steps.
Does the SOT23-3 package (SA) include an exposed thermal pad?
No. The SOT23-3 (SA) variant has no exposed pad. Thermal performance relies entirely on PCB copper area connected to pin 2 (GND). For higher power dissipation, consider the U-DFN2020-6 (FDCW) or SOT89 (Y) packages which feature thermal pads or larger copper footprints.
