Product details
Overview
AP7380-41WR-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 4.15V ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator IC designed for space-constrained portable and battery-powered systems. It delivers up to 150mA output current with 500mV dropout at 50mA, 1.8µA ground current at zero load, ±1% output voltage accuracy, and operates across a 3.5V–24V input range - enabling direct regulation from multi-cell Li-ion or industrial 12V/24V rails in USB peripherals and handheld instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AP7380-41WR-7 datasheet, AP7380-41WR-7 pinout, AP7380-41WR-7 application, or AP7380-41WR-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.15V fixed output, SOT25-WR package thermal resistance (166°C/W), EN pin logic thresholds (2.0V high / 0.4V low), and compatibility with 1µF ceramic input/output capacitors - critical for low-noise power sequencing in portable medical sensors and industrial data loggers.
Technical Context
The AP7380-41WR-7 integrates a precision voltage reference, error amplifier, resistor network for fixed 4.15V output, current-limit protection (150mA typical), and enable-controlled shutdown with 0.01µA standby current. Its internal architecture supports stable operation with low-ESR ceramic capacitors and exhibits ±100ppm/°C output voltage temperature coefficient over –40°C to +125°C.
Line regulation is 0.05%/V and load regulation is 0.5% across 1–150mA, while thermal shutdown activates at +160°C with +20°C hysteresis. The device uses a single-stage pass transistor topology without external compensation, simplifying PCB layout for point-of-load regulation in compact embedded subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 4.15V ±1% - ensures precise biasing for 4.2V-tolerant microcontrollers and analog front-ends. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 24V - supports direct connection to 3-cell Li-ion (12.6V max), 12V industrial rails, and legacy USB power sources. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - sufficient for powering low-power MCUs, sensors, and RF transceivers in portable designs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 500mV @ 50mA - enables >90% efficiency at light loads when VIN = 4.65V, extending battery runtime. |
| Ground Current | 1.8µA @ IOUT = 0mA - minimizes quiescent power loss in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(HI) = 2.0V, VEN(LO) = 0.4V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO control without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C activation with +20°C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during transient overload or poor heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25-WR package: 5-pin surface-mount outline with exposed pad (non-electrical), 3.0mm × 2.8mm footprint, 0.95mm height, and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Power ground reference and thermal path - must be connected to large copper pour for thermal dissipation. |
| 2 | VIN | Main input supply - requires 1µF ceramic capacitor within 5mm of pin for stability. |
| 3 | VOUT | Regulated 4.15V output - connects directly to load; 1µF ceramic output capacitor mandatory. |
| 4 | NC | No internal connection - left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice; no electrical function. |
| 5 | EN | Active-high enable - pulls to GND to disable regulator and reduce ISTD to 0.01µA for system-level power gating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Input Range (3.5–24V) | Eliminates need for pre-regulation stages when interfacing with variable-voltage battery packs or unregulated DC supplies. |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current (1.8µA) | Extends shelf life and operational runtime in battery-backed IoT nodes and emergency alert devices. |
| Ceramic Capacitor Compatibility | Enables use of small, low-ESR 0402/0603 MLCCs - reduces BOM count and board area vs. tantalum alternatives. |
| ±1% Output Accuracy | Meets tight tolerance requirements for ADC reference buffers and precision sensor signal chains without trimming. |
| Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis | Prevents thermal cycling failure during sustained overload; +20°C hysteresis ensures clean recovery after cooling. |

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 (0.1V lower), 250mV dropout @ 250mA, 2.5µA IQ, SOT23-5 package. | Lacks EN pin; fixed 4.1V output less optimal for 4.2V-tolerant loads requiring margin. | Select when EN functionality is unnecessary and lower dropout at higher current is prioritized. |
| Torex XC6210B412MR-G | 4.1V output, 150mA limit, 1.0µA IQ, 300mV dropout @ 100mA, SOT25 package. | No thermal shutdown; requires external thermal management in high-ambient environments. | Choose for ultra-low IQ designs where thermal safety is managed externally or ambient is controlled. |
Compared with MCP1703T-4102E/MB and XC6210B412MR-G, the AP7380-41WR-7 uniquely combines 4.15V output matching common 4.2V battery-charged systems, integrated EN control, thermal shutdown with hysteresis, and robust 24V input tolerance - making it optimal for portable equipment requiring both precision and fault resilience.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 4.15V output?
The AP7380-41WR-7 requires VIN ≥ 4.65V to maintain regulation at full 150mA load, based on its maximum dropout voltage of 500mV at 50mA and 1000mV at 100mA. At 10mA load, dropout drops to ~360mV, allowing stable operation down to 4.51V input. Below 3.5V, the device ceases regulation and enters undervoltage lockout.
Can the AP7380-41WR-7 be used with aluminum polymer capacitors instead of ceramic?
No - the AP7380-41WR-7 is explicitly characterized and stabilized for use with 1µF low-ESR ceramic capacitors on both input and output. Aluminum polymer capacitors exhibit higher ESR and different frequency response, which may cause instability, overshoot, or oscillation. Diodes' datasheet specifies ceramic-only compatibility for guaranteed performance.
Is the EN pin internally pulled down when not driven?
No - the EN pin has no internal pull-down. It presents 1µA leakage current and requires an explicit external pull-down resistor (e.g., 100kΩ to GND) to ensure reliable disable state during power-up or GPIO float conditions. Leaving EN floating risks undefined startup behavior due to noise coupling.
Does the AP7380-41WR-7 meet AEC-Q200 for automotive use?
No - the AP7380-41WR-7 is not qualified to AEC-Q200. Diodes states that automotive-grade versions require specific change control, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing - none of which apply to this standard commercial-grade SOT25-WR variant. For automotive applications, contact Diodes directly for qualified alternatives like the AP7381 series.
