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

What is the function of the EN pin on the AP7366EA?

The EN pin serves as an active-high enable input. Setting this pin to a logic high level turns the regulator on, while pulling it low disables the output.

Does the AP7366EA require a minimum load to remain stable?

No, the device maintains stability without a minimum load current. It remains regulated even under no-load conditions.
