The AP2318 is a series of ultra low dropout regulators
optimized for low voltage applications where transient
response and minimum input voltage are critical.
The AP2318 provides current limit and thermal
shutdown. Its circuit includes a trimmed bandgap
reference to assure output voltage accuracy to be
within ±1.5%. On-chip thermal shutdown provides
protection against any combination of overload and
ambient temperatures that would create excessive
junction temperatures.
The AP2318 has both fixed and adjustable versions.
The 1.3V fixed versions integrate the corresponding
resistor divider. The adjustable version can set the
output voltage through two external resistors.
The AP2318 is available in the standard DFN-3×3-8
and SOIC-8 packages.
BCD Semiconductor's Pb-free products, as designated with "E1" suffix in the part number, are RoHS compliant. Products with
"G1" suffix are available in green packages.
Note 1:Stresses greater than those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to thedevice.
These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated
under "Recommended Operating Conditions" is not implied. Exposure to "Absolute Maximum Ratings" for extended periods
may affect device reliability.
Note 2: Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when operating the device outside of its operating ratings. The maximum allowable power dissipation is a

The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using: PD(max)=(TJ(max) -
A.
Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will
