AP7361C-12SP-13

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Overview

The AP7361C-12SP-13 is a fixed-output linear regulator providing 1.2V at up to 1A output current, housed in an SO-8EP package with an enable pin. It operates within a 2.2V to 6.0V input voltage range and maintains ±1% output voltage accuracy. The device features ultra-low dropout characteristics, consuming approximately 60µA of quiescent current. It includes built-in thermal shutdown and fold-back short circuit protection for fault tolerance.
