The characteristics of the low dropout voltage and low
quiescent current make it suitable for low to medium power
applications, for example, laptop computers, audio and video
applications, and battery powered devices. The typical
quiescent current is approximately 70µA. Built-in current-limit
and thermal-shutdown functions prevent IC from damage in
fault conditions.

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 1.5V since minimum VIN = 2.2V.
5. For VIN ≥ 2.5V and VIN = VOUT + 1V. For VIN < 2.5V, the PSRR performance may be reduced.
6. Test condition for DFN3030E-8: Device mounted on 2"x2", FR-4 substrate PCB, with minimum recommended pad on top layer
and thermal vias to bottom layer ground plane.

Application Information
Input Capacitor
Adjustable Operation
A 1μF ceramic capacitor is recommended between IN and
GND pins to decouple input power supply glitch and noise.
The amount of the capacitance may be increased without
limit. This input capacitor must be located as close as
possible to the device to assure input stability and reduce
noise. For PCB layout, a wide copper trace is required for
both IN and GND pins. A lower ESR capacitor type allows
the use of less capacitance, while higher ESR type
requires more capacitance.
The AP7361 provides output voltage from 0.8V to 5.0V
through external resistor divider as shown below.

ADJ

G ND
Output Capacitor
The output capacitor is required to stabilize and improve
the transient response of the LDO. The AP7361 is stable
with very small ceramic output capacitors. Using a ceramic
capacitor value that is at least 2.2μF with 10mΩ ≦ ESR ≦
300mΩ on the output ensures stability. Higher capacitance
values help to improve line and load transient response.
The output capacitance may be increased to keep low
undershoot and overshoot. Output capacitor must be
placed as close as possible to OUT and GND pins.
R2
Adjustable Output
The output voltage is calculated by:
⎛
R ⎞
VOUT = VREF ⎜⎜1 + 1 ⎟⎟
R
2⎠
⎝
Where VREF=0.8V (the internal reference voltage)
Rearranging the equation will give the following that is
used for adjusting the output to a particular voltage:
⎞
⎛V
R1 = R2 ⎜⎜ OUT − 1⎟⎟
V
REF
⎠
⎝
To maintain the stability of the internal reference voltage,
R2 need to be kept smaller than 80kΩ.
No Load Stability
Other than external resistor divider, no minimum load is
required to keep the device stable. The device will remain
stable and regulated in no load condition.
ON/OFF Input Operation
The AP7361 is turned on by setting the EN pin high, and
is turned off by pulling it low. If this feature is not used,
the EN pin should be tied to IN pin to keep the regulator
output on at all time. To ensure proper operation, the
signal source used to drive the EN pin must be able to
swing above and below the specified turn-on/off voltage
thresholds listed in the Electrical Characteristics section
under VIL and VIH.

Application Information (Continued)
Current Limit Protection
Ultra Fast Start-up
When output current at OUT pin is higher than current limit
threshold, the current limit protection will be triggered and
clamp the output current to prevent over-current and to
protect the regulator from damage due to overheating.
After enabled, the AP7361 is able to provide full power in
as little as tens of microseconds, typically 200µs, without
sacrificing low ground current. This feature will help load
circuitry move in and out of standby mode in real time,
eventually extend battery life for mobile phones and other
portable devices.
NEW PRODUCT
Short Circuit Protection
When OUT pin is short-circuit to GND, short circuit
protection will be triggered and clamp the output current to
approximately 200mA. Full current is restored when the
output voltage exceeds 25% of Vout. This feature protects
the regulator from over-current and damage due to
overheating.
Low Quiescent Current
The AP7361, consuming only around 70µA for all input
range, provides great power saving in portable and low
power applications.
Power Dissipation
Thermal Shutdown Protection
Thermal protection disables the output when the junction
temperature rises to approximately +150°C, allowing the
device to cool down. When the junction temperature
reduces to approximately +130°C the output circuitry is
enabled again. Depending on power dissipation, thermal
resistance, and ambient temperature, the thermal
protection circuit may cycle on and off. This cycling limits
the heat dissipation of the regulator, protecting it from
damage due to overheating.
The device power dissipation and proper sizing of the
thermal plane that is connected to the thermal pad is
critical to avoid thermal shutdown and ensure reliable
operation. Power dissipation of the device depends on
input voltage and load conditions and can be calculated
by:
PD = (VIN - VOUT) X IOUT
The maximum power dissipation, handled by the device,
depends on the maximum junction to ambient thermal
resistance, maximum ambient temperature, and
maximum device junction temperature, which can be
calculated by the equation in the following:
PD (max@ TA ) =
