Product details
Overview
AP7375Q-18Y-13 from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q100 qualified automotive-grade 1.8V fixed-output ultra-low-dropout linear regulator with 45V max input voltage, 300mA output current capability, and 2.1µA quiescent current. It features enable control (EN pin rated to 45V), ±2% output accuracy, thermal shutdown, and short-circuit protection - designed for power supply in harsh-temperature automotive subsystems including body control modules and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the AP7375Q-18Y-13 datasheet, AP7375Q-18Y-13 pinout, AP7375Q-18Y-13 application, or AP7375Q-18Y-13 equivalent, this device supports high-reliability 1.8V rail generation under wide-input (3–45V) and low-quiescent-current constraints typical of always-on automotive electronics.
Technical Context
The AP7375Q-18Y-13 integrates a PMOS pass transistor enabling dropout as low as 35mV at 10mA and 350mV at 100mA, with fast transient response that prevents overshoot during startup and short-circuit recovery. Its EN pin accepts up to 45V, allowing direct connection to unregulated battery rails without level-shifting.
Internal protection includes thermal shutdown triggered at +150°C with +10°C hysteresis and current limiting at ~500mA. PSRR reaches 85dB at 1kHz, and line/load regulation are specified at 0.02%/V and 0.025%/mA respectively - critical for noise-sensitive MCU and transceiver power domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±2% - ensures stable core logic supply for automotive MCUs and CAN/LIN transceivers. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 45V - supports cold-crank (≥3V) and load-dump (≤45V) conditions in 12V/24V vehicle systems. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA - sufficient for powering low-power microcontrollers, sensor interfaces, and communication ICs. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.1µA typ - enables ultra-low standby power in always-on automotive modules (e.g., door ECU, alarm controller). |
| Dropout Voltage | 35mV @ 10mA / 350mV @ 100mA - maintains regulation during battery sag while minimizing power loss and heat. |
| PSRR | 85dB @ 1kHz - suppresses ripple from noisy alternator or switching converter inputs feeding sensitive analog/digital circuits. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +150°C with +10°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design without latch-up. |
Pinout & Package
SOT89 package (Package Code: Y) with 3-pin configuration: VIN (Pin 1), GND (Pin 2), VOUT (Pin 3). Exposed pad not present in SOT89 variant; thermal dissipation relies on copper area under Pin 2 (GND) and trace width.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 3–45V DC; must be decoupled with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for load current and internal bias; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise and voltage drop. |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 1.8V ±2%; requires ≥10µF ceramic output capacitor (X5R/X7R) placed within 3mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide input range (3–45V) | Eliminates need for pre-regulation in automotive battery-fed applications, reducing BOM count and board space. |
| 2.1µA quiescent current | Enables >10-year battery life in always-on modules powered by 12V lead-acid or LiFePO₄ backup cells. |
| 45V-tolerant EN pin | Permits direct connection to unregulated battery rail without external voltage divider or level shifter. |
| ±2% output accuracy | Guarantees reliable operation of 1.8V I/O domains in automotive MCUs without post-regulation trimming. |
| Fast transient response | Prevents undershoot/overshoot during load steps (e.g., CAN transceiver wake-up), avoiding logic glitches or resets. |
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 automotive LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV73318PQDBVRQ1 | Lower max input (6.5V), higher IQ (4.5µA), same 1.8V output and AEC-Q100 qualification. | Restricted to post-regulated 5V domains; unsuitable for direct battery connection. | Select when input is already stepped down and ultra-low IQ is secondary to cost. |
| TPS7B8118QDCYRQ1 | Higher dropout (170mV @ 150mA), lower max input (40V), 350mA output, integrated watchdog timer. | Lacks 45V EN tolerance; adds system-level safety monitoring but increases complexity. | Choose when functional safety (ASIL-B) monitoring is required and 40V input suffices. |
Compared with TLV73318PQDBVRQ1 and TPS7B8118QDCYRQ1, the AP7375Q-18Y-13 uniquely combines 45V input/EN tolerance, 2.1µA IQ, and 300mA output in SOT89 - making it optimal for direct-battery-fed 1.8V rails where space, thermal simplicity, and wide-operating-range resilience are prioritized over integrated safety logic.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for AP7375Q-18Y-13?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 55V, but the recommended operating range is 3V to 45V per datasheet Section 4. This 45V limit aligns with ISO 7637-2 Load Dump Pulse 5a requirements for 24V automotive systems, ensuring robustness during transient overvoltage events without derating.
Does AP7375Q-18Y-13 require an external pull-up resistor on the EN pin?
No external pull-up is required. The EN pin has an internal pull-down; applying ≥1V (typical threshold 1V, max 1.5V) enables the regulator. Since the EN pin tolerates up to 45V, it can be driven directly from battery or ignition-switched rail without level-shifting components.
Can AP7375Q-18Y-13 operate at full 300mA output current across its entire temperature range?
Yes, but thermal design is critical. At TA = +125°C and VIN = 12V, the junction temperature must remain ≤+150°C. With θJA = 94.5°C/W (SOT89), 300mA output requires ≤1.2W total power dissipation - achievable only with adequate PCB copper area and ambient airflow or derating above +85°C.
Is the 1.8V output voltage trimmed at the factory for AP7375Q-18Y-13?
Yes. The 1.8V output is factory-trimmed to ±2% accuracy over -40°C to +125°C, as verified in Electrical Characteristics Table (Section 4). This eliminates need for external feedback resistors or post-assembly calibration in automotive applications where long-term stability and temperature drift are critical.
