Product details
Overview
AP7383-44FDC-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 4.4V, 150mA ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator in U-DFN2020-6 (Type C) package. It operates across 3.5–30V input range, delivers ±1% output voltage accuracy at 10mA load, features 360mV typical dropout at 50mA, and draws only 1.8µA ground current-enabling long battery life in portable instrumentation and USB-powered sensors.
For engineers reviewing the AP7383-44FDC-7 datasheet, AP7383-44FDC-7 pinout, AP7383-44FDC-7 application, or AP7383-44FDC-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.4V fixed output, thermal shutdown at +160°C, compatibility with 1µF ceramic capacitors, and support for high-temperature operation up to +125°C junction.
Technical Context
The AP7383-44FDC-7 integrates a precision voltage reference, error amplifier, resistor network for fixed 4.4V output, current-limit circuit (150mA), and enable control logic. Its internal architecture supports stable regulation under fast load transients while maintaining ultra-low quiescent current.
It implements thermal shutdown with +20°C hysteresis and uses a chip-enable input (EN) referenced to GND, allowing external control of regulator operation. The device is optimized for low-ESR ceramic output capacitors and exhibits 0.05%/V line regulation and 0.5% load regulation over full operating conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 4.4V ±1% at 10mA - ensures stable supply for 4.3–4.5V-tolerant ICs like microcontrollers and analog sensors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 30V - supports direct connection to 5V, 9V, 12V, and 24V rails without pre-regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - sufficient for powering low-power MCUs, RF modules, and sensor signal chains. |
| Dropout Voltage | 360mV typ @ 50mA - enables regulation down to VIN = 4.76V, critical for battery systems near end-of-discharge. |
| Ground Current | 1.8µA typ @ IOUT = 0A - minimizes standby power loss in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C with +20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Line Regulation | 0.05%/V - maintains tight output stability despite input rail fluctuations in automotive or industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
AP7383-44FDC-7 is housed in a 2.0mm × 2.0mm, 0.65mm height U-DFN2020-6 (Type C) package with wettable flank leads, rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020 and NiPdAu-plated copper leadframe.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | Main input supply connection; accepts 3.5–30V; requires local 1µF ceramic decoupling. |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane for thermal and noise performance. |
| 3 | VOUT | Regulated 4.4V output; drives load and 1µF ceramic output capacitor. |
| 4 | NC | No internal connection; recommended to tie to GND for enhanced thermal dissipation via PCB copper. |
| 5 | NC | No internal connection; recommended to tie to GND for enhanced thermal dissipation via PCB copper. |
| 6 | EN | Active-high enable input; ≥2.0V enables regulation, ≤0.4V disables output and reduces IQ to 0.01µA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Input Range | 3.5–30V operation eliminates need for upstream buck converter in multi-rail systems. |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 1.8µA ground current extends battery runtime in IoT endpoint devices with infrequent wake cycles. |
| Low-ESR Ceramic Cap Support | Stable with 1µF X5R/X7R ceramics - reduces BOM count and board space vs. tantalum or aluminum electrolytics. |
| Thermal Protection | Auto-recovery shutdown at +160°C prevents permanent damage during transient overloads or poor heatsinking. |
| High Accuracy Output | ±1% initial tolerance ensures reliable operation of ADC references and voltage-sensitive analog front-ends. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output ULDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1703T-4402E/MB | 4.4V output, 250mA rating, 600mV dropout @ 250mA, 2.5µA IQ, SOT23-5 package. | Higher current capability but larger dropout limits use below 5.0V input; no EN pin in this variant. | Select when >150mA load or SOT23 footprint required; avoid if EN control or minimal dropout is critical. |
| Torex XC6219B442MR-G | 4.4V output, 150mA rating, 350mV dropout @ 100mA, 1µA IQ, SOT25 package. | Lower IQ and similar dropout, but only rated to +85°C ambient (vs. +125°C TJ for AP7383). | Select for ultra-low-power battery apps <85°C ambient; avoid for industrial/high-temp deployments. |
Compared with MCP1703T-4402E/MB and XC6219B442MR-G, the AP7383-44FDC-7 uniquely combines 4.4V precision, 150mA capability, +125°C junction rating, active enable control, and 2.0mm² DFN footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding, and battery-sensitive designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP7383-44FDC-7 to maintain regulation?
The AP7383-44FDC-7 requires a minimum input voltage of 3.5V to operate within specification. At 50mA load, its typical dropout is 360mV, so VIN must be ≥4.76V to sustain 4.4V output. Below 3.5V, the device enters undervoltage lockout and ceases regulation.
Can AP7383-44FDC-7 be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 1µF?
No-Diodes specifies a minimum 1µF ceramic output capacitor (X5R/X7R) for stability. Using smaller values risks oscillation or degraded load transient response. The device is not characterized for <1µF, and layout parasitics become dominant below this threshold.
Does AP7383-44FDC-7 support reverse polarity protection?
No-the AP7383-44FDC-7 has no built-in reverse-voltage protection. Applying negative voltage to VIN or VOUT can cause irreversible damage. External protection (e.g., series Schottky diode or ideal diode controller) is required in systems prone to reverse connection.
Is AP7383-44FDC-7 qualified for automotive applications?
AP7383-44FDC-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. While it operates from -40°C to +125°C junction temperature, Diodes explicitly states that automotive-grade variants require separate PPAP-capable part numbers and IATF 16949 manufacturing. This part is intended for industrial and commercial use only.
