Product details
Overview
AP7387Q-50FDCW-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q100 qualified automotive-grade ultra-low-dropout linear regulator delivering 5.0V fixed output at up to 150mA, with 5V–60V input range, 700mV dropout at 100mA, 2μA quiescent current, and 70dB PSRR at 1kHz - designed for powering CAN/LIN transceivers and MCU subsystems in harsh automotive environments.
For engineers reviewing the AP7387Q-50FDCW-7 datasheet, AP7387Q-50FDCW-7 pinout, AP7387Q-50FDCW-7 application, or AP7387Q-50FDCW-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include wide-input voltage tolerance, thermal shutdown behavior, ±2% output accuracy under load/line transients, and U-DFN2020-6 (SWP) package thermal performance in constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AP7387Q-50FDCW-7 integrates a precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and internal resistor network to maintain stable 5.0V output across -40°C to +125°C ambient. Its architecture supports fast line/load transient response due to optimized control loop dynamics and low-output-impedance regulation.
It implements dual protection: current-limit circuitry clamping output at ~250mA and thermal shutdown triggered at +150°C junction temperature with +30°C hysteresis. The device operates without external compensation, requiring only 1μF input and 10μF ceramic output capacitors for stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5V to 60V - enables direct connection to automotive battery rails including cold-crank (5V) and load-dump (60V) conditions. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±2% - ensures compatibility with 5V-tolerant MCUs, CAN transceivers, and analog sensors without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - sufficient for low-power microcontrollers, LIN/CAN PHYs, and sensor signal chains in body electronics modules. |
| Dropout Voltage | 700mV @100mA (typ.) - maintains regulation down to VIN = 5.7V, critical for start-stop system operation. |
| Quiescent Current | 2μA (typ.) - minimizes standby power loss in always-on vehicle networks (e.g., door module wake-up circuits). |
| PSRR | 70dB @1kHz - suppresses alternator ripple and switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding shared power domains. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +150°C with +30°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB copper layout. |
Pinout & Package
AP7387Q-50FDCW-7 uses the U-DFN2020-6 (SWP) (Type UXC) package: 2.0mm × 2.0mm × 0.6mm body with 0.65mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (EP), and NiPdAu-plated terminals. Recommended PCB layout uses ≥10mm² GND-connected copper area under EP for θJA = 47.9°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOUT | Regulated 5.0V output - connect directly to load with low-inductance 10μF ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm. |
| 2, 5 | GND | Power ground return - tie both pins and EP to common low-impedance ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 | VIN | Main input supply - route with wide trace from 1μF decoupling cap; withstands 80V absolute max transient. |
| 4, 6 | NC | No internal connection - recommended to connect to GND for enhanced thermal conduction and EMI shielding. |
| EP | Exposed Pad | Thermal interface only - must be soldered to large GND copper area; not electrically functional as GND node. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Input Range (5–60V) | Eliminates need for pre-regulator in 12V/24V/48V automotive architectures, supporting cold-crank and load-dump immunity per ISO 7637-2. |
| Ultra-Low IQ (2μA) | Enables <10μW standby power draw - essential for battery-powered telematics and remote keyless entry modules with multi-year shelf life. |
| Fast Transient Response | Settles within 200μs after 10–150mA load step - preserves MCU clock stability and ADC reference integrity during burst-mode communication. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 Qualification | Validated for -40°C to +125°C operation with PPAP documentation - meets functional safety requirements for ASIL-B supporting systems. |
| Integrated Protection | Combines current limit (~250mA), short-circuit foldback, and thermal shutdown - reduces BOM count vs. discrete protection solutions. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | CAN/LIN Transceiver Power |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Centralized power rail for door latch controllers, window lift drivers, and interior lighting logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary 5V LDO supplying MCU, EEPROM, and Hall-effect sensors in distributed ECUs.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV73350PDBVR | Lower input range (1.4–5.5V), 300mA output, 170mV dropout @150mA - lacks 60V surge tolerance. | Suitable only for post-regulated 3.3V/5V domains; cannot replace AP7387Q-50FDCW-7 in direct-battery applications. | Select when input is already regulated and higher current/low-dropout is prioritized over wide-VIN capability. |
| MAX6675ATB+T | 5V fixed, 150mA, 60V max input, but 10μA IQ and no AEC-Q100 qualification - lacks automotive change control. | Acceptable for industrial control, but not compliant for production automotive ECUs requiring PPAP and IATF 16949 traceability. | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where AEC-Q100 is not mandated and 8× higher IQ is acceptable. |
Compared with TLV73350PDBVR and MAX6675ATB+T, AP7387Q-50FDCW-7 uniquely combines 60V input tolerance, 2μA quiescent current, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, and U-DFN2020-6 thermal performance - making it the only drop-in solution for battery-direct 5V LDO needs in ASIL-B automotive subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for AP7387Q-50FDCW-7 during transient conditions?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 80V for ≤100ms per JEDEC JESD78, validated for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump). Continuous operation must remain within 5V–60V per recommended conditions. Exceeding 80V risks permanent damage even if duration is brief.
Can AP7387Q-50FDCW-7 operate without an output capacitor?
No - a minimum 1μF ceramic output capacitor is mandatory for stability and transient response. Omitting it causes oscillation and potential thermal runaway. X5R/X7R dielectrics are required; tantalum or aluminum electrolytics are not recommended due to ESR and aging effects.
How does the NC pin function in the U-DFN2020-6 package?
Pins 4 and 6 are unconnected internally and serve no electrical function. Diodes recommends tying them to GND on the PCB to improve thermal dissipation and reduce radiated emissions - they do not carry current or affect regulation.
Is AP7387Q-50FDCW-7 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - it is fully RoHS 3 compliant and rated for peak reflow temperatures up to +260°C (10-second lead temperature). The U-DFN2020-6 package uses NiPdAu plating and meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1, allowing standard Pb-free reflow without baking.
