AP7361EA-10E-13

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

The AP7361EA-10E-13 is a fixed-output ultra-low dropout linear regulator manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It provides a stable 1.0V output with a maximum continuous current of 1.0A. The device operates within an input voltage range of 2.2V to 6.0V and features a typical quiescent current of 68µA. It utilizes the SOT223 package and includes built-in current limiting, thermal shutdown, and foldback short-circuit protection. The unit maintains an output voltage accuracy of ±1% and supports an ambient operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '13' corresponds to the 13-inch tape and reel packaging format as defined in the manufacturer's ordering guide. Confirm that the SOT223 package variant aligns with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the EN pin is properly biased to logic high for continuous operation, as this package version lacks the enable pin functionality found in other variants.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 1.0V rail is required at up to 1A load current. The SOT223 package offers moderate thermal dissipation capabilities suitable for low-to-medium power applications. Consider the 68µA quiescent current for battery life calculations. Verify input voltage headroom against the dropout characteristics at the expected load current to ensure regulation stability.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Part Context

This part belongs to the AP7361EA family of 1A adjustable and fixed-mode regulators. The '10' designation indicates a fixed 1.0V output voltage. The 'E' suffix specifies the SOT223 surface-mount package. This series is designed for portable electronics requiring efficient power management with minimal ground current consumption.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other AP7361EA variants sharing the same SOT223 package if different output voltages are needed. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution. Note that packages without the 'EN' pin (like SOT223) cannot be directly replaced by versions with enable pins without circuit modification.
