AP7331
300mA, LOW QUIESCENT CURRENT, FAST TRANSIENT
LOW DROPOUT LINEAR REGULATOR
Description
The AP7331 is a 300mA, adjustable and fixed output
voltage, low dropout linear regulator. The device included
pass element, error amplifier, band-gap, current limit and
thermal shutdown circuitry. The device is turned on when EN
pin is set to logic high level.
The characteristics of low dropout voltage and low quiescent
current make it suitable for low power applications, for
example, battery powered devices. The typical quiescent
current is approximately 65μA.
Built-in current-limit and thermal-shutdown functions prevent
IC from damage in fault conditions.
The AP7331 is available in SOT25 and DFN2020-6
packages.

4. Dropout voltage is the voltage difference between the input and the output at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value.
This parameter only applies to output voltages above 1.8V.
5. Test conditions for SOT25: Device mounted on FR-4 substrate PCB, with minimum recommended pad layout, 2oz copper, single sided
6. Test conditions for DFN2020-6: Device mounted on FR-4 substrate PCB, with minimum recommended pad layout, 2oz copper, double sided,
bottom layer is a copper plane.
