Product details
Overview
AP7380-41W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 4.15V, 150mA ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator in SOT25 package, featuring 24V max input voltage, 500mV dropout at 50mA, ±1% output accuracy, and 1.8µA ground current at no load - designed for USB-powered instrumentation and portable battery systems requiring stable low-noise bias.
For engineers reviewing the AP7380-41W5-7 datasheet, AP7380-41W5-7 pinout, AP7380-41W5-7 application, or AP7380-41W5-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal shutdown behavior, EN control interface details, ceramic-capacitor compatibility, and real-world load/line regulation performance - all critical for low-power embedded power rail design.
Technical Context
The AP7380-41W5-7 integrates an error amplifier, precision voltage reference, resistor network for fixed 4.15V output, current-limit protection (150mA), and enable-controlled shutdown with 0.01µA standby current. Its architecture supports operation from 3.5V to 24V input while maintaining regulation down to VIN – VOUT = 360mV (typ.) at 50mA load.
Thermal shutdown activates at +160°C with +20°C hysteresis, and line/load regulation are specified at ±0.05%/V and ±0.5%, respectively. The device uses a single external 1.0µF ceramic capacitor on both input and output, eliminating need for electrolytic or tantalum components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 4.15V ±1% - ensures stable logic-level supply for 4.2V nominal battery systems and USB peripheral ICs. |
| Max Input Voltage | 24V - enables direct connection to industrial 24V rails or automotive battery inputs with transient margin. |
| Dropout Voltage | 360mV (typ.) @ 50mA - allows regulation from 4.51V input, supporting Li-ion battery discharge down to ~3.7V under load. |
| Ground Current | 1.8µA @ IOUT = 0 - minimizes quiescent loss in always-on sensor nodes and battery-backed RTC circuits. |
| Current Limit | 150mA - protects downstream circuitry during short-circuit or overload without external foldback components. |
| Line Regulation | ±0.05%/V - maintains output stability across wide input range, critical for unregulated adapter or solar input applications. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C activation with +20°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overloads or poor PCB heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (W5) 5-pin package with exposed thermal pad (non-electrical); compact 2.8mm × 2.9mm footprint optimized for space-constrained portable PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Power ground reference and thermal path - must be connected to large copper pour for θJA = 193°C/W performance. |
| 2 | VIN | Main input supply (3.5–24V); requires 1.0µF ceramic decoupling within 5mm of pin. |
| 3 | VOUT | Regulated 4.15V output; drives load up to 150mA with <1.0µF ceramic output capacitor. |
| 4 | NC | No internal connection - left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice; not used in fixed-output version. |
| 5 | EN | Active-high enable input; pulls output to high-impedance when <0.4V; draws ≤1µA leakage in OFF state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide input range (3.5–24V) | Eliminates need for pre-regulation stages in multi-rail systems powered by variable sources like adapters or batteries. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current (1.8µA) | Extends battery life in always-on IoT sensors and wearable devices operating >1 year on coin cells. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatible | Reduces BOM cost and board area by enabling 1.0µF X5R/X7R MLCCs instead of larger, less reliable electrolytics. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Provides autonomous fault recovery after overheating events without external monitoring circuitry. |
| ±1% output accuracy | Meets tight tolerance requirements for analog front-ends, ADC references, and RF bias rails without trimming. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | USB-Powered Test Equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ULDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1703T-4102E/MB | 4.1V output (0.05V lower), 250mV dropout @ 250mA, 2.5µA IQ, SOT23-5 package | Lacks thermal shutdown; higher dropout limits usable input range in low-VIN battery apps | Prefer when lowest possible IQ is secondary to cost and board area; verify thermal margin without shutdown. |
| Torex XC6219B412MR-G | 4.1V output, 220mV dropout @ 100mA, 1.0µA IQ, SOT25 package, no EN pin | Fixed ON-only operation; no enable control for system-level power sequencing | Select when enable functionality is unnecessary and ultra-low IQ dominates design priority. |
Compared with MCP1703T-4102E/MB and XC6219B412MR-G, the AP7380-41W5-7 uniquely combines 4.15V precision, thermal shutdown, active enable, and 24V input capability - making it optimal for USB/battery systems requiring robust fault handling and wide VIN flexibility.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 4.15V output?
The AP7380-41W5-7 requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROP. At 50mA load, typical dropout is 360mV, so minimum VIN = 4.15V + 0.36V = 4.51V. Absolute minimum specified operating VIN is 3.5V, but regulation is only guaranteed above dropout threshold - use 4.6V minimum for reliable 150mA operation.
Can the AP7380-41W5-7 be used with a 10µF aluminum electrolytic output capacitor?
No - the AP7380-41W5-7 is optimized for low-ESR ceramic capacitors (1.0µF minimum). Aluminum electrolytics exhibit high ESR (>1Ω) and capacitance drift, which can cause instability, overshoot, or thermal shutdown under load transients. Only X5R/X7R MLCCs meeting 1.0µF/6.3V rating are recommended.
Is the EN pin internally pulled down when not driven?
No - the EN pin has no internal pull-down. It must be actively driven to ≥2.0V for enable or ≤0.4V for disable. Leaving EN floating risks undefined output state due to noise coupling; tie to VIN via 100kΩ resistor if always-on operation is intended.
Does the AP7380-41W5-7 meet AEC-Q200 for automotive use?
No - the AP7380-41W5-7 is not qualified to AEC-Q200. Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., AP7380Q series) with PPAP capability and IATF 16949 manufacturing, but the -W5-7 suffix denotes commercial-grade SOT25 packaging without automotive qualification.
