AP7365-12ERG-13

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

The AP7365-12ERG-13 is a fixed-output low dropout linear regulator manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, providing a stable 1.2V output with a maximum load current of 600mA. It operates within an input voltage range of 2V to 6V and features a typical quiescent current of 35µA. The device incorporates built-in current limit and thermal shutdown protection circuits to ensure reliability under fault conditions. Designed for surface-mount applications, it utilizes the SOT-223 package (ER suffix) and maintains excellent line and load regulation across an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
