Product details
Overview
AP7383-50FDC-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 5.0V, 150mA ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator in a U-DFN2020-6 (Type C) package. It delivers ±1% output voltage accuracy over load, line, and temperature, with 500mV dropout at 50mA, 1.8–3.0µA ground current, and thermal shutdown protection-designed for USB-powered instrumentation and portable battery systems.
For engineers reviewing the AP7383-50FDC-7 datasheet, AP7383-50FDC-7 pinout, AP7383-50FDC-7 application, or AP7383-50FDC-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (3.5–30V), low quiescent current for standby operation, compatibility with 1µF ceramic output capacitors, and thermal performance in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AP7383-50FDC-7 integrates a precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and resistor network to maintain stable 5.0V regulation across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Its internal current-limit circuit protects against overload, while the EN pin enables external control of regulator activation in SOT25 W5 variants-though this function is absent in the FDC package version.
Thermal management relies on the U-DFN2020-6 (Type C) package's 152°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and 58°C/W junction-to-case resistance. The device achieves 0.05%/V line regulation and 0.5% load regulation, supporting stable operation under dynamic load transients up to 150mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±1% - ensures precise rail generation for 5V logic and analog subsystems |
| Max Input Voltage | 30V - supports wide-range industrial and automotive supply inputs without external pre-regulation |
| Dropout Voltage | 250mV (typ) @ 50mA - enables regulation from 5.25V input, critical for battery-powered 5V systems |
| Ground Current | 1.8–3.0µA @ IOUT = 0–150mA - minimizes standby power loss in always-on sensor nodes |
| Line Regulation | 0.05%/V - maintains tight output stability despite input ripple or sag in unregulated supplies |
| Load Regulation | 0.5% - limits output deviation across full 1–150mA load range, suitable for mixed-signal loads |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C threshold with 20°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
AP7383-50FDC-7 uses the U-DFN2020-6 (Type C) package: 2.0mm × 2.0mm × 0.6mm body, 0.65mm pitch, NiPdAu-plated terminals, moisture sensitivity level 1, and exposed thermal pad (pin 6) for enhanced heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | Main input supply connection; accepts 3.5–30V DC with transient robustness up to 33V |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected to low-impedance PCB plane for noise immunity |
| 3 | VOUT | Regulated 5.0V output; requires ≥1µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm for stability |
| 4 | NC | No internal connection; recommended to tie to GND for thermal copper fill and EMI reduction |
| 5 | NC | No internal connection; recommended to tie to GND for thermal copper fill and EMI reduction |
| 6 | Exposed Pad | Thermal and electrical ground; must be soldered to ≥100mm² copper pour for thermal performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.8–3.0µA across full load range enables >1-year battery life in 10µA average-load IoT sensors |
| Low-ESR capacitor compatible | Stable with 1µF ceramic output capacitor - eliminates need for costly tantalum or electrolytic types |
| High accuracy over temperature | ±100ppm/°C output drift - maintains <±1.5% total error from –40°C to +125°C |
| Integrated thermal protection | 160°C shutdown with 20°C hysteresis - prevents latch-up and allows safe auto-recovery after cooling |
| Wide-input capability | 3.5–30V operation - supports direct connection to 24V industrial rails or multi-cell Li-ion batteries |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | USB-C Powered Test Equipment |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 5V ULDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1703T-5002E/MB | Higher dropout (600mV @ 250mA), higher IQ (2.5µA), same 5V fixed output | Larger SOT23-5 package; less suitable for 2×2mm area-constrained designs | Prefer when board layout allows larger footprint and higher current (250mA) is required |
| TPS7A2050PDBVR | Lower IQ (65nA), lower dropout (175mV @ 300mA), but requires external enable and bias capacitor | Needs additional 100nF bypass cap on EN pin; not pin-compatible with AP7383-50FDC-7 | Choose only if nanoampere standby is mandatory and layout can accommodate extra passive component |
Compared with MCP1703T-5002E/MB and TPS7A2050PDBVR, AP7383-50FDC-7 offers optimal balance of ultra-small footprint, 500mV dropout at 50mA, and zero external components-making it ideal for compact, cost-sensitive 5V systems where 150mA suffices and sub-µA standby is secondary to simplicity.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP7383-50FDC-7 to regulate 5.0V output?
The AP7383-50FDC-7 requires a minimum input voltage of 3.5V per its Recommended Operating Conditions. However, to maintain regulation at full 150mA load, VIN must exceed VOUT by at least the dropout voltage-500mV typical at 50mA, rising to 1100mV at 150mA. Thus, 5.5V input is needed for guaranteed 5.0V output at 150mA.
Does AP7383-50FDC-7 include an enable (EN) pin?
No. The AP7383-50FDC-7 in the U-DFN2020-6 (Type C) package does not feature an enable pin. Pin assignments confirm pins 4 and 5 are NC (not connected internally), and the datasheet specifies EN functionality only for the SOT25 W5 variant (AP7383-50W5-7). This version operates continuously when powered.
Can AP7383-50FDC-7 be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 1µF?
No. The datasheet specifies 1.0µF ceramic capacitor (X5R/X7R) as the minimum for stability across all operating conditions. Using smaller values risks oscillation due to insufficient phase margin, especially under light loads or high temperatures. Layout best practices require placing the capacitor within 2mm of VOUT and GND pins.
What is the thermal performance of AP7383-50FDC-7 in its U-DFN2020-6 package?
In the U-DFN2020-6 (Type C) package, AP7383-50FDC-7 has θJA = 152°C/W and θJC = 58°C/W. With the exposed thermal pad soldered to ≥100mm² of 2oz copper, it sustains 150mA continuous output at TA = +85°C ambient. Derating is required above 100mA at +125°C ambient per the 658mW maximum power dissipation rating.
