This low dropout regulator (LDO) from Diodes Incorporated delivers dual 150 mA outputs with high 1% voltage accuracy from a wide 1.7 V to 5.25 V input voltage range. With a low 35 μA quiescent current, low R_DS(ON) and tiny 6-pin X2-DFN1212 package, this part is particularly well-suited for compact, low-power, handheld, consumer electronic products.

Additional benefits of the AP7342 are a high 75 dB power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) and low 60 μV_RMS noise sensitivity (from 10 Hz to 100 kHz). These are key to getting the best performance from audio and video applications or communications devices with RF sub-systems, such as wireless adaptors. A wide input voltage specification ensures compatibility with lithium batteries down to 1.7 V, while the output voltage, which can be fixed between 1.2 V and 3.6 V, is maintained to 1% accuracy at 25°C and 1.5% across the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature.
