Ordering Information
General Description
The AP7215 low-dropout linear regulator operates from a 3.3V to
5.5V supply and delivers a guaranteed 600mA continuous load
current.
The high-accuracy output voltage is preset to an internally
trimmed voltage. An active-low open-drain reset output remains
asserted for at least 20ms (TYP) after input voltage rises above
the reset threshold.
The space-saving SOP-8L and SOT89-3L package are suitable
for “pocket” and hand-held applications.

A 1μF ceramic capacitor is recommended to connect between V
and GND pins to de couple input po wer supply glitc h and noise.
The amount of the capacitance may be increased without limit.
A lower ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) capacitor allows the
use of less capac itance, while higher ESR type r equires more
capacitance. This input capacitor must be located as close as
possible to the device to assure input stability and less noise. For
PCB layout, a wide copper trace is required for both V
