Product details
Overview
AP7383-44WW-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 4.4V, 150mA ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator in SOT25 (WW) package. It features 30V max input voltage, 500mV dropout at 50mA, ±1% output accuracy, 1.8µA ground current at zero load, and thermal shutdown protection. Designed for USB-powered instrumentation and portable devices requiring stable low-noise bias under wide-input conditions.
For engineers reviewing the AP7383-44WW-7 datasheet, AP7383-44WW-7 pinout, AP7383-44WW-7 application, or AP7383-44WW-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 150mA load, thermal resistance in SOT25-WW (193°C/W), EN pin compatibility with 2.0V logic high, and fixed 4.4V output tolerance across -40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The AP7383-44WW-7 integrates a precision voltage reference, error amplifier, resistor network for fixed 4.4V output, current-limit circuit (150mA typical), and enable control. Its architecture supports operation from 3.5V to 30V input while maintaining regulation down to VIN – VOUT = 360mV (typ.) at 50mA.
Thermal shutdown activates at +160°C with +20°C hysteresis, and the device uses ceramic capacitors (1µF CIN/COUT) for stability. Ground current remains constant (1.8–3.0µA) from 0mA to 150mA load, enabling battery-life optimization in always-on instrumentation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 4.4V ±1% (ensures stable MCU I/O rail or sensor bias without external feedback) |
| Max Input Voltage | 30V (supports 24V industrial bus or automotive transients with margin) |
| Dropout Voltage | 360mV typ. @ 50mA (enables regulation from 4.76V input; critical for Li-ion + LDO systems) |
| Quiescent Current | 1.8µA typ. @ 0mA load (extends battery runtime in sleep-mode portable instruments) |
| Current Limit | 150mA (protects against short-circuit while sustaining full rated load) |
| Line Regulation | 0.05%/V (minimizes output drift across wide input range) |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C activation with +20°C hysteresis (prevents latch-up during sustained overload) |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (WW) package: 5-pin surface-mount, 3.0mm × 2.8mm body, 0.95mm height, matte tin-plated leads, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | Main input supply connection; accepts 3.5–30V; requires 1µF ceramic decoupling |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference; must connect to low-impedance PCB plane for thermal dissipation |
| 3 | VOUT | Regulated 4.4V output; drives load up to 150mA with <0.5% load regulation |
| 4 | NC | No internal connection; recommended to tie to GND for thermal copper area enhancement |
| 5 | NC | No internal connection; recommended to tie to GND for thermal copper area enhancement |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide input range (3.5–30V) | Enables single-regulator support for multi-rail systems (e.g., 5V/12V/24V inputs) without redesign |
| Ultra-low quiescent current (1.8µA) | Reduces standby power loss by >95% vs. standard LDOs, critical for coin-cell or energy-harvesting sensors |
| Low ESR ceramic capacitor compatible | Eliminates need for costly tantalum or electrolytic capacitors; reduces BOM cost and board space |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Prevents thermal runaway during intermittent overloads while allowing safe recovery without manual reset |
| ±1% output accuracy | Meets tight analog sensor or ADC reference voltage requirements without post-regulation trimming |
Applications
| USB-Powered Test Equipment | Portable Medical Sensors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ULDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1703T-4402E/MB | 250mV dropout @ 250mA; 2.5µA IQ; SOT23-5 package; no thermal shutdown | Lacks thermal protection; higher dropout limits use with lower VIN sources | Choose when thermal shutdown is not required and input headroom is constrained below 4.65V |
| TPS7A2044PDBVR | 175mV dropout @ 300mA; 2.5µA IQ; 1.5% accuracy; no current limit | Higher accuracy tolerance; lacks integrated current limiting | Prefer for ultra-low-noise analog rails where external current limiting is acceptable |
Compared with MCP1703T-4402E/MB and TPS7A2044PDBVR, the AP7383-44WW-7 uniquely combines 30V input capability, thermal shutdown, and 150mA current limit in a cost-optimized SOT25 package-making it optimal for ruggedized portable instrumentation where fault resilience and wide VIN are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 4.4V output?
The AP7383-44WW-7 requires a minimum input voltage of 4.76V to maintain regulation at full 150mA load, based on its typical 360mV dropout at 50mA and worst-case 580mV dropout per datasheet. At light loads (<1mA), regulation begins at VIN ≥ 4.42V due to lower dropout.
Can the AP7383-44WW-7 be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 1µF?
No-Diodes specifies 1µF ceramic capacitors (X5R/X7R) for both input and output to ensure stability across temperature and load. Using <1µF risks oscillation or poor transient response, as confirmed by phase margin testing in DS40699 Rev. 8-2 Section 8.2.
Is the EN pin internally pulled up or down?
The EN pin has no internal pull-up or pull-down; it is a high-impedance CMOS input requiring an external logic signal. The datasheet defines "High" as ≥2.0V and "Low" as ≤0.4V, with leakage current ≤1µA-so a 100kΩ pull-up to VIN is recommended for default-enable operation.
Does the AP7383-44WW-7 support reverse polarity protection?
No-the device lacks integrated reverse-polarity protection. Applying reversed voltage to VIN or VOUT may cause permanent damage. External protection (e.g., series Schottky diode or ideal diode controller) is required in applications with potential reverse-battery or hot-swap conditions.
