Product details
Overview
AP7387-33FDCR-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a wide-input (5–60V), 3.3V fixed-output, 150mA ultra-low-dropout linear regulator in U-DFN2020-6R (Type C) package. It delivers ±2% output voltage accuracy, 700mV dropout at 100mA, and 2μA quiescent current-enabling reliable power for battery-powered smoke detectors and EV battery management systems where input voltage varies widely and standby power must be minimized.
For engineers reviewing the AP7387-33FDCR-7 datasheet, AP7387-33FDCR-7 pinout, AP7387-33FDCR-7 application, or AP7387-33FDCR-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60V max input rating, thermal shutdown at +150°C, 48°C/W θJA in U-DFN2020-6R, fast load transient response (<200μs settling), and compatibility with 10μF ceramic output capacitance for stability.
Technical Context
The AP7387-33FDCR-7 integrates a precision voltage reference, error amplifier, current-limit circuit, thermal shutdown comparator, and short-circuit protection logic into a single monolithic IC. Its architecture supports stable regulation across 55V input swing while maintaining low noise and high PSRR (70dB @ 1kHz).
It operates without external compensation, relying on internal feedback and a fixed 3.3V output setpoint. The U-DFN2020-6R package features an exposed pad internally tied to GND, enabling efficient heat dissipation via PCB copper area-critical for sustained 150mA operation under high VIN–VOUT differentials.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5V to 60V - supports direct connection to 12V/24V/48V industrial or automotive battery rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | 3.3V ±2% - ensures MCU I/O and sensor interface compatibility across temperature and load variation. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - sufficient for low-power microcontrollers, analog sensors, and RF transceivers in compact designs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 700mV @ 100mA (typ.) - enables regulation down to VIN = 4.0V while delivering 3.3V, extending usable battery life. |
| Quiescent Current | 2μA (typ.) - minimizes standby power loss in always-on smoke detectors and remote IoT nodes. |
| PSRR | 70dB @ 1kHz - suppresses ripple from noisy DC-DC converters or alternator supplies in vehicle applications. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +150°C with +30°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 48°C/W (U-DFN2020-6R) - requires ≥100mm² GND-connected copper pour for full 150mA capability at TA = +85°C. |
Pinout & Package
AP7387-33FDCR-7 is housed in a 2.0mm × 2.0mm × 0.6mm U-DFN2020-6R (Type C) package with wettable flank leads and an exposed thermal pad (EP) internally connected to GND. The package is RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | Main input supply pin; accepts 5–60V; requires 1μF ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin. |
| 2, 5 | GND | Power ground reference; both pins must connect to low-impedance PCB ground plane for stability and thermal performance. |
| 3 | VOUT | Regulated 3.3V output; drives load up to 150mA; requires 10μF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor within 2mm. |
| 4 | NC | No internal connection; recommended to tie to GND to enhance thermal conduction and reduce EMI susceptibility. |
| 6 | NC | No internal connection; same as Pin 4 - connect to GND for optimal thermal and EMI performance. |
| EP | Exposed Pad | Internally bonded to GND; must be soldered to ≥100mm² GND copper area for thermal dissipation and electrical integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Input Range (5–60V) | Eliminates need for external buck pre-regulator in 24V/48V industrial or HEV battery monitoring circuits. |
| Ultra-Low IQ (2μA) | Extends shelf life of battery-powered smoke detectors beyond 10 years in standby mode. |
| Fast Transient Response | Settles within 200μs after 10–100mA load step - maintains clean supply for real-time sensor sampling and MCU wake-up. |
| Integrated Protection | Combines current limit (250mA typ.), short-circuit foldback, and thermal shutdown - reduces BOM count and failure modes. |
| High PSRR (70dB @ 1kHz) | Rejects switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters, enabling mixed-signal integrity in compact PCB layouts. |
| U-DFN2020-6R Package | Enables <4mm² footprint with superior thermal performance vs. SOT23/SOT89 - ideal for space-constrained automotive modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-IQ, wide-input LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7381-33W5-7 | SOT25 package (θJA = 150°C/W); same 3.3V/150mA spec but higher thermal resistance and no exposed pad. | Less suitable for continuous 150mA loads above +60°C ambient due to limited thermal headroom. | Select only when board space permits larger SOT25 and thermal derating is acceptable. |
| TPS7B8733QKVURQ1 | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100), 40V max input, 150mA, 2.5μA IQ, but requires external 10μF output cap and has 1.2V min dropout. | Qualified for under-hood use; lacks 60V input range and fast transient response of AP7387. | Choose for automotive production requiring AEC-Q100 qualification, not for 48V+ industrial or HEV systems. |
Compared with AP7387-33FDCR-7, AP7381-33W5-7 trades thermal performance for legacy package compatibility, while TPS7B8733QKVURQ1 adds automotive qualification at the cost of input voltage range and transient speed-making the AP7387 uniquely suited for high-voltage, space-constrained, low-quiescent industrial sensing.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP7387-33FDCR-7 to regulate 3.3V at 100mA?
The dropout voltage is 700mV (typ.) at 100mA, so the minimum input voltage is 3.3V + 0.7V = 4.0V. This allows operation from partially discharged 2-cell Li-ion (6V nominal) or 5V USB-powered systems with margin. Absolute minimum VIN per datasheet is 5.0V for guaranteed specification compliance across temperature and process variation.
Can AP7387-33FDCR-7 be used without an output capacitor?
No. A minimum 10μF ceramic output capacitor (X7R/X5R) is mandatory for stability and transient response. Omitting it causes oscillation, excessive overshoot/undershoot during load steps, and potential thermal shutdown. The capacitor must be placed within 2mm of VOUT and GND pins using low-inductance layout.
How does the U-DFN2020-6R package differ from U-DFN2020-6 in AP7387 variants?
U-DFN2020-6R (FDCR) features wettable flank leads for automated optical solder-joint inspection (AOI), whereas standard U-DFN2020-6 (FDC) does not. Both share identical die, pinout, thermal pad, and electrical specs-but FDCR enables inline solder quality verification in high-reliability manufacturing.
Is AP7387-33FDCR-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No. The AP7387-33FDCR-7 is an industrial-grade part. For automotive use, Diodes offers the AP7387Q series (e.g., AP7387Q-33FDCR-7), which undergoes AEC-Q100 stress testing, includes extended temperature screening (-40°C to +125°C), and is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities.
