DIOAP7361C-18E-13
Overview
The AP7361C-18E-13 is a 1A positive fixed linear voltage regulator from Diodes Incorporated, providing a stable 1.8V output in a SOT-223 package. It features a low quiescent current of 60uA and is designed for stability across various capacitor types including MLCC, tantalum, and electrolytic. With an input voltage range up to 6V, it is well-suited for low-voltage power regulation in compact electronic designs.
Why Choose This Part
The regulator provides high output current up to 1A while maintaining a very low typical quiescent current of 60uA. It includes robust protection features such as fold-back short circuit protection and thermal shutdown. Its flexibility with output capacitor types, including low-ESR MLCCs, simplifies PCB design and reduces total BOM cost.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Ensure a minimum input voltage of 2.2V for proper operation and place a 1uF ceramic capacitor close to the output pin for stability. Since this is a SOT-223 surface-mount device, provide adequate copper area on the PCB for heat dissipation, especially when operating near the 1A current limit or with higher input-to-output voltage differentials.
