Product details
Overview
AP7387Q-30FDCW-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade ultra-low-dropout linear regulator delivering 3.0V fixed output at up to 150mA, with 5V–60V input range, 700mV dropout @100mA, ±2% output accuracy, and 70dB PSRR @1kHz. It integrates thermal shutdown, short-circuit protection, and current limiting for robust operation in harsh automotive environments such as body control modules and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the AP7387Q-30FDCW-7 datasheet, AP7387Q-30FDCW-7 pinout, AP7387Q-30FDCW-7 application, or AP7387Q-30FDCW-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include wide-input capability under load transients, AEC-Q100 qualification, U-DFN2020-6 (SWP) thermal performance, and low 2μA quiescent current for always-on automotive subsystems.
Technical Context
The AP7387Q-30FDCW-7 employs a high-gain error amplifier with internal voltage reference and resistor network to maintain tight regulation across –40°C to +125°C ambient. Its fast transient response is enabled by optimized internal compensation and low-output-impedance architecture, minimizing VOUT undershoot/overshoot during rapid load steps from 10mA to 150mA.
Thermal protection activates at +150°C junction temperature with +30°C hysteresis, while current limit clamps output at ~250mA. The device operates without external compensation, requiring only 1µF input and 10µF ceramic output capacitors-both specified for X7R/X5R dielectrics and placement adjacent to VIN/VOUT/GND pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5V to 60V - supports direct connection to automotive battery rails including cold-crank (6.5V) and load-dump (60V) events. |
| Output Voltage | 3.0V ±2% - factory-trimmed fixed output eliminates external feedback resistors and ensures MCU core logic compatibility. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - sufficient for powering CAN/LIN transceivers, sensor interfaces, and low-power microcontrollers in distributed ECUs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 700mV @100mA - enables stable 3.0V output even when input drops to 3.7V, critical for start-stop system operation. |
| Quiescent Current | 2μA (typ.) - minimizes standby power loss in always-on domains like alarm controllers and telematics wake-up circuits. |
| PSRR | 70dB @1kHz - suppresses ripple from switching DC/DC stages upstream, preserving analog sensor signal integrity. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +150°C with +30°C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking in confined enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
AP7387Q-30FDCW-7 uses the U-DFN2020-6 (SWP) package (Type UXC), measuring 2.0mm × 2.0mm × 0.6mm with exposed thermal pad. This thermally enhanced leadless package achieves θJA = 47.9°C/W on JEDEC-standard board, enabling higher power dissipation than SOT89 in space-constrained automotive layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 3.0V supply; must be decoupled with ≥10µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 2, 5 (GND) | Ground reference | Dual GND pins reduce impedance path; both must connect to low-impedance ground plane for stability and noise immunity. |
| 3 (VIN) | Input supply | Accepts 5–60V unregulated input; requires ≥1µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of pin to suppress high-frequency noise. |
| 4, 6 (NC) | No-connect | Internally unconnected; recommended to tie to GND on PCB to maximize copper area for thermal conduction from EP. |
| EP (Exposed Pad) | Thermal interface | Not electrically functional; must be soldered to large GND copper pour (≥40mm²) to achieve rated θJA and prevent thermal derating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide input range (5–60V) | Eliminates need for pre-regulator in 12V/24V/48V automotive architectures, reducing BOM count and failure points. |
| 2μA quiescent current | Enables >10-year battery life in vehicle security modules powered from backup coin cells or supercapacitors. |
| 70dB PSRR @1kHz | Reduces conducted EMI from buck converters feeding shared power rails, easing EMC compliance in infotainment head units. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Qualified for operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient, meeting stringent reliability requirements for engine bay and transmission control units. |
| Integrated current limit & thermal shutdown | Provides autonomous fault recovery without external monitoring circuitry-critical for ASIL-B–compliant subsystems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-dropout automotive regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV73330PDBVR | 3.0V, 300mA, 1.8–5.5V input, 225mV dropout @300mA, no AEC-Q100 rating | Limited to 5.5V input; unsuitable for direct battery connection or load-dump conditions | Select only for low-voltage auxiliary rails where input is pre-regulated and automotive qualification is not required. |
| MAX1725EUT30+T | 3.0V, 200mA, 2.5–16V input, 300mV dropout @200mA, AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (–40°C to +105°C) | Narrower input range excludes 24V/48V HEV/EV use; lower temp grade limits under-hood deployment | Prefer for cost-sensitive cabin modules operating below 105°C ambient, but verify thermal margin at full load. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 3.0V output?
The AP7387Q-30FDCW-7 maintains regulation down to VIN = VOUT + VDROP. With typical dropout of 700mV at 100mA, the minimum functional input is 3.7V. At light loads (1mA), dropout falls to ~350mV, allowing regulation from 3.35V-sufficient for post-cranking recovery in 12V systems.
Can the NC pins (4 and 6) be left floating on the PCB?
No. Pins 4 and 6 are internally unconnected but must be tied to GND on the PCB layout. This maximizes copper area beneath the package for thermal conduction from the exposed pad and improves ground return path integrity for noise suppression.
Is an external bypass capacitor required on the EN pin?
The AP7387Q-30FDCW-7 has no enable (EN) pin-it is always-on. There is no external control input; operation begins automatically when VIN exceeds the undervoltage lockout threshold (~4.5V). No bypass capacitor is needed or supported.
How does the thermal shutdown hysteresis affect system behavior during overload?
When junction temperature reaches +150°C, the device shuts down and remains off until temperature drops by +30°C (to +120°C), then resumes regulation. This prevents thermal oscillation during sustained overload and allows safe cooldown before re-engagement-critical for protecting downstream CAN transceivers during short-circuit faults.
