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

What is the minimum output capacitance required for stability?

The AP7366EA-15SN-7 is stable with low ESR ceramic output capacitors. A minimum capacitance value of 1µF on the output ensures stability and improves transient response.

How does the enable pin function?

The EN pin is active high. Setting the EN pin to a logic high level turns the regulator on, while pulling it low turns the regulator off. If always-on operation is desired, the EN pin should be tied to the IN pin.
