Product details
Overview
AP7375Q-18FDCW-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q100 qualified automotive-grade 1.8V fixed-output ultra-low-dropout linear regulator with 3V–45V input range, 300mA output capability, and 2.1µA quiescent current. It features integrated short-circuit and thermal shutdown protection, 45V-tolerant EN pin, and fast transient response for stable power in harsh environments. Used in EV battery management systems and body control modules where wide VIN and low IQ are critical.
For engineers reviewing the AP7375Q-18FDCW-7 datasheet, AP7375Q-18FDCW-7 pinout, AP7375Q-18FDCW-7 application, or AP7375Q-18FDCW-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (U-DFN2020-6), terminal functions, thermal resistance (99.5°C/W), dropout voltage at load (35mV @10mA), and automotive qualification status - all essential for functional safety-compliant design-in.
Technical Context
The AP7375Q-18FDCW-7 implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout (35mV @10mA) and high PSRR (85dB @1kHz). Its EN pin accepts up to 45V directly, eliminating level-shifting circuitry in high-side enable configurations across 12V/24V/48V automotive rails.
Internal protection includes current limiting (500mA typ), thermal shutdown at +150°C with +10°C hysteresis, and robust ESD tolerance (3kV HBM, 1.5kV CDM). The device maintains ±2% output accuracy over -40°C to +125°C ambient and supports ceramic output capacitors ≥1µF for stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±2% - ensures precise MCU core rail compliance without external feedback. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 45V - supports cold-crank (4.5V), load-dump (40V+), and multi-battery architectures. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous - sufficient for powering CAN transceivers, sensor interfaces, and low-power MCUs. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.1µA typical - enables always-on functionality in vehicle entry systems with <10µA system sleep budget. |
| Dropout Voltage | 35mV @10mA / 350mV @100mA - allows regulation down to VIN = VOUT + 0.35V, maximizing efficiency in low-VIN conditions. |
| PSRR | 85dB @1kHz - suppresses alternator ripple and switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 99.5°C/W (U-DFN2020-6) - requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal relief in space-constrained modules. |
Pinout & Package
AP7375Q-18FDCW-7 uses the U-DFN2020-6 (SWP) Type UXC package: 2.0mm × 2.0mm × 0.6mm body with exposed thermal pad (EP), RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, and moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOUT | Regulated 1.8V output - connect to local 10µF ceramic capacitor; trace must minimize inductance for transient response. |
| 2 | VIN | Main input (3–45V) - requires 1µF ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin; wide trace recommended for high-current paths. |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - tie directly to PCB ground plane; avoid shared return paths with noisy circuits. |
| 4 | GND | Secondary ground terminal - improves thermal conduction and reduces ground impedance in high-frequency operation. |
| 5 | EN | Enable control (0.4V logic low disables; >1V enables) - accepts up to 45V, enabling direct connection to battery-sensed signals. |
| 6 | GND | Third ground terminal - enhances thermal dissipation via EP connection; must be soldered to large copper pour tied to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide VIN range (3–45V) | Eliminates need for pre-regulator in 12V/24V/48V automotive systems, reducing BOM count and board area. |
| 2.1µA quiescent current | Enables >10-year battery life in keyless entry modules powered from 3V coin cells or backup batteries. |
| 45V-tolerant EN pin | Permits direct interface with unregulated battery monitoring nodes - no external Zener or divider required. |
| Fast transient response | Prevents undershoot/overshoot during CAN bus arbitration bursts or MCU wake-up events, ensuring reliable logic-level integrity. |
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Auto-recovers after cooldown - avoids latch-off failures during intermittent overload in transmission control units. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | EV Battery Management System (BMS) Sensor Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-IQ automotive LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV73318PQDBVRQ1 | Lower max current (300mA vs. 300mA), higher IQ (25µA), same 1.8V output, SOT-23-5 package. | Lacks 45V EN tolerance; requires external level shift for battery-sense enable. | Choose if board space permits larger SOT-23 footprint and EN signal is already level-shifted. |
| MAX25210ATPA/V+T | Higher IQ (12µA), wider temp range (-40°C to +150°C), 1.8V output, 300mA, TDFN-8 package. | Includes watchdog timer and reset output - adds supervisory function not present in AP7375Q. | Choose when system-level fault detection and controlled reset sequencing are required alongside regulation. |
Compared with TLV73318PQDBVRQ1 and MAX25210ATPA/V+T, AP7375Q-18FDCW-7 uniquely combines 45V EN tolerance, 2.1µA IQ, and U-DFN2020-6 footprint - making it optimal for compact, high-reliability automotive nodes where enable simplicity and ultra-low standby loss are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for AP7375Q-18FDCW-7?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 55V, but the recommended operating range is 3V to 45V per the datasheet. Operation above 45V risks exceeding safe power dissipation limits and may trigger thermal shutdown. For sustained 45V operation, ensure PCB thermal design meets θJA ≤ 99.5°C/W with adequate copper pour on the exposed pad.
Does AP7375Q-18FDCW-7 require an external output capacitor, and what type is recommended?
Yes - a minimum 1µF ceramic capacitor (X5R or X7R dielectric) is required between VOUT and GND for stability. Diodes recommends 10µF for optimal load transient response. Place it within 2mm of the VOUT and GND pins; avoid tantalum or electrolytic types due to ESR-related instability risks.
How does the EN pin behave during battery voltage transients?
The EN pin tolerates -0.3V to +55V continuously and operates with logic thresholds of VENL ≤ 0.4V (disable) and VENH ≥ 1V (enable). During load-dump events (up to 40V), EN remains functional without clamping or damage - enabling direct connection to battery-sensed enable signals without external protection.
Is AP7375Q-18FDCW-7 qualified for ASIL-B or higher functional safety levels?
No - the AP7375Q-18FDCW-7 is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (-40°C to +125°C) and PPAP-capable, but it does not carry ISO 26262 ASIL certification. It may be used in ASIL-B systems as a supporting power component, provided system-level FMEDA and fault injection analysis confirm its contribution to overall safety goals.
