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

Verify that the specific part number suffix 'D' corresponds to the TO-252-3 package configuration required for your PCB layout. Confirm that the fixed 1.2V output voltage aligns with the target circuit design requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 and halogen-free specifications if mandated by your manufacturing standards.

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

Select this component when a fixed 1.2V rail is needed with high current capacity. The TO-252 package offers superior thermal dissipation compared to smaller packages like SOT-223. Verify that the input voltage remains within the 2.2V to 5.5V operating range to ensure proper regulation and stability under all expected load conditions.

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

This device belongs to the AP7363 family of 1.5A ultra-low dropout linear regulators. The family includes adjustable versions and various fixed output voltages. The 'D' suffix specifically denotes the TO-252-3 package variant, while the '-13' indicates tape and reel packaging. Other variants include SOT-223 and U-DFN2030-8 packages.

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

Direct replacements within the same series include AP7363-15D-13 (1.5V), AP7363-18D-13 (1.8V), and AP7363-33D-13 (3.3V). These share identical pinouts and electrical characteristics except for the fixed output voltage. Cross-family replacements require verification of package compatibility and current ratings.
