Product details
Overview
AP7375Q-18W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q100 qualified automotive-grade 1.8V fixed-output ultra-low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) with 45V max input voltage, 300mA output current capability, and 2.1µA typical quiescent current. It features enable pin tolerance up to 45V, ±2% output accuracy, and integrated short-circuit and thermal shutdown protection. Designed for power-sensitive automotive subsystems including body control modules and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the AP7375Q-18W5-7 datasheet, AP7375Q-18W5-7 pinout, AP7375Q-18W5-7 application, or AP7375Q-18W5-7 equivalent, this part supports high-reliability 1.8V rail generation in wide-input automotive environments where low IQ, fast transient response, and robust fault protection are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
The AP7375Q-18W5-7 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 external level-shifting circuitry in high-voltage automotive domains.
It delivers stable 1.8V output across -40°C to +125°C ambient temperature with <0.025%/mA load regulation and <0.02%/V line regulation. Internal thermal shutdown triggers at +150°C with +10°C hysteresis, and short-circuit current limit is set at 500mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±2% - ensures precise MCU core voltage compliance without external feedback. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 45V - supports direct connection to automotive battery (cold crank, load dump) without pre-regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA - sufficient for powering 1.8V logic rails in CAN/LIN transceivers and microcontrollers. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.1µA typ - enables always-on functionality in low-power automotive modules without battery drain. |
| Dropout Voltage | 35mV @ 10mA, 350mV @ 100mA - maintains regulation during deep battery discharge (e.g., 6V cranking). |
| PSRR | 85dB @ 1kHz - suppresses alternator ripple and switching noise on sensitive analog/digital supplies. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +150°C with +10°C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
AP7375Q-18W5-7 uses the SOT25 (Package Code: W5) 5-pin surface-mount package with exposed pad for thermal dissipation. Pin 1 = NC (connect to GND), Pin 2 = VOUT, Pin 3 = VIN, Pin 4 = GND, Pin 5 = EN. The exposed pad (EP) must be connected to large copper area tied to GND for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No-connect internal terminal | Must be connected to GND on PCB to maximize thermal copper area; not electrically active. |
| 2 (VOUT) | Regulated 1.8V output | Delivers stable 1.8V supply; requires 10µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability. |
| 3 (VIN) | Main input supply (3–45V) | Accepts full automotive battery range; requires 1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor near pin. |
| 4 (GND) | Power ground reference | Primary return path; must connect to low-impedance ground plane to minimize noise and dropout error. |
| 5 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic; accepts 0–45V directly-no level shifter needed for 12V/24V system control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide input voltage range | 3V–45V operation eliminates need for upstream buck converter in 12V/24V/48V automotive architectures. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 2.1µA typ enables >10-year battery standby life in always-on vehicle modules (e.g., door ECU). |
| Fast transient response | No overshoot during startup or short-circuit recovery - critical for reliable MCU boot sequencing. |
| Integrated protection | Auto-recovering thermal shutdown and current-limiting prevent field failures without external circuitry. |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Qualified to Grade 1 (-40°C to +125°C) with PPAP support - meets OEM requirements for production automotive use. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV73318PQDBVRQ1 | Lower max input (6.5V), higher IQ (45µA), same 300mA output and 1.8V fixed output. | Suitable only for post-regulated 5V/3.3V domains-not for direct battery connection. | Select when input is already regulated and lower cost is prioritized over wide-VIN capability. |
| TPS7B8718QKVURQ1 | Higher IQ (18µA), wider input (40V), same AEC-Q100 Grade 1, but larger SO-8EP package. | Better thermal performance (θJA = 47.7°C/W) but requires more PCB area than SOT25. | Select when higher continuous current (>250mA at elevated ambient) or enhanced thermal margin is required. |
Compared with TLV73318PQDBVRQ1 and TPS7B8718QKVURQ1, the AP7375Q-18W5-7 uniquely combines 45V input tolerance, 2.1µA IQ, and SOT25 footprint-enabling compact, battery-direct 1.8V regulation where space, efficiency, and input ruggedness are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for AP7375Q-18W5-7?
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 even at light loads due to excessive VIN–VOUT differential.
Can the EN pin be driven directly from a 12V microcontroller GPIO?
No-EN is active-high with VENL ≤ 0.4V and VENH ≥ 1V, but its absolute maximum rating is 55V. A 12V GPIO exceeds the recommended logic-level interface; use a resistor divider or open-drain driver referenced to VIN to safely interface with 3.3V/5V controllers.
Is the NC pin on AP7375Q-18W5-7 required to be connected?
Yes-the NC pin (Pin 1) is internally unconnected but must be soldered to GND on the PCB. This maximizes copper area for thermal conduction from the die through the leadframe, reducing θJA by up to 15°C/W compared to leaving it floating.
Does AP7375Q-18W5-7 require an external output capacitor, and what type is recommended?
Yes-a minimum 1µF ceramic capacitor (X5R or X7R dielectric) is mandatory for stability. Diodes recommends 10µF for optimal load transient response; place it within 2mm of VOUT and GND pins using short, wide traces to minimize ESL and maintain phase margin.
