Product details
Overview
AP7375Q-18WR-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 quiescent current. It features EN pin tolerance up to 45V, ±2% output accuracy, and integrated short-circuit and thermal shutdown protection. This LDO powers MCUs and CAN/LIN transceivers in body control modules and EV battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the AP7375Q-18WR-7 datasheet, AP7375Q-18WR-7 pinout, AP7375Q-18WR-7 application, or AP7375Q-18WR-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 35mV dropout at 10mA load, 85dB PSRR at 1kHz, -40°C to +125°C operating range, and SOT25 (WR) package thermal performance (θJA = 135.5°C/W).
Technical Context
The AP7375Q-18WR-7 implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout and fast transient response without external compensation. Its EN pin accepts up to 45V directly, eliminating level-shifting circuitry in high-voltage automotive domains.
Internal protection includes current limiting (500mA typical), thermal shutdown at +150°C with +10°C hysteresis, and robust ESD immunity (3kV HBM). The device maintains stable regulation across 3V–45V input while delivering 1.8V ±2% under 1mA–300mA loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±2% - ensures precise MCU core supply compliance without external feedback. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 45V - supports direct connection to automotive 12V/24V/42V battery rails including load-dump transients. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA - sufficient for low-power microcontrollers, CAN transceivers, and sensor interfaces. |
| Dropout Voltage | 35mV @ 10mA / 350mV @ 100mA - enables operation with minimal headroom, critical for start-stop and cold-crank conditions. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.1µA typ - minimizes standby power loss in always-on vehicle subsystems like alarm controllers. |
| PSRR | 85dB @ 1kHz - suppresses alternator ripple and switching noise before sensitive analog/digital circuits. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +150°C with +10°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (Package Code: WR) - 5-pin surface-mount package with exposed pad (EP) for enhanced thermal dissipation; footprint optimized for automotive PCB layouts requiring high reliability and thermal margin.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOUT | Regulated 1.8V output - connect to local decoupling capacitor (≥10µF ceramic) within 2mm of pin. |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference - tie directly to internal PCB ground plane; connects to EP for thermal conduction. |
| 3 | VIN | Main input (3–45V) - requires 1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress supply noise. |
| 4 | GND | Secondary ground terminal - improves current return path separation and reduces ground bounce. |
| 5 | EN | Enable control - logic-high ≥1V enables output; tolerates up to 45V, enabling direct connection to battery-sensed signals. |
| EP | Exposed Pad | Thermal interface - must be soldered to large copper area connected to GND for θJA = 135.5°C/W performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Input Range | 3V–45V operation eliminates need for pre-regulator stages in 12V/24V automotive systems. |
| Ultra-Low IQ | 2.1µA quiescent current extends battery life in always-on modules such as telematics and intrusion detection. |
| Fast Transient Response | No overshoot during startup or short-circuit recovery - ensures reliable boot sequencing for safety-critical ECUs. |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Qualified to Grade 1 (-40°C to +125°C) with PPAP support - meets OEM requirements for production automotive electronics. |
| Integrated Protection | Auto-recovering thermal shutdown and foldback current limit prevent field failures due to wiring faults or overloads. |

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 IQ (450nA), lower max input (6.5V), no 45V EN tolerance | Restricted to post-DC/DC 3.3V/5V domains; unsuitable for direct battery connection | Select when ultra-low standby power is prioritized over wide-input flexibility. |
| NCP1117ST18T3G | Higher IQ (6mA), higher dropout (1.1V @ 800mA), no AEC-Q100 qualification | Lacks automotive qualification and thermal shutdown hysteresis; limited to industrial use | Use only in non-automotive designs where cost outweighs qualification and efficiency requirements. |
Compared with TLV73318PQDBVRQ1 and NCP1117ST18T3G, the AP7375Q-18WR-7 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, 45V input/EN tolerance, and sub-3µA IQ-making it the only viable choice for direct-battery-powered automotive modules requiring long-term reliability and low quiescent consumption.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for AP7375Q-18WR-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 automotive battery applications, this rating covers ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a (load dump) transients up to 47.5V.
Does AP7375Q-18WR-7 require external capacitors, and what values are recommended?
Yes: a minimum 1µF ceramic input capacitor (X5R/X7R) must be placed between VIN and GND, and a minimum 10µF ceramic output capacitor (X5R/X7R) between VOUT and GND. Larger output capacitance improves transient response and reduces undershoot/overshoot. Both capacitors must be located within 2mm of their respective pins.
How does the EN pin function, and what voltage levels enable/disable the output?
The EN pin enables the regulator when pulled to ≥1V and disables it when ≤0.4V. It tolerates up to 45V, allowing direct connection to unregulated battery rails or high-side switch outputs without level shifting. Internal pull-down ensures default-off behavior if left floating.
Is AP7375Q-18WR-7 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes: it is fully RoHS-compliant, halogen- and antimony-free ("Green"), and rated for JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1. The SOT25 (WR) package uses matte tin-plated leads and supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles with peak temperatures up to +260°C for 10 seconds.
