Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the AP7331-18SNG-7 and AP7335-18SNG-7 are active products from Diodes Incorporated with identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements and inventory availability. The AP7335-18SNG-7 provides specified dropout voltage performance of 0.3V at 300mA, which may be advantageous in applications with tight input voltage margins. Both devices maintain equivalent protection features, control functionality, and thermal operating range suitable for industrial and commercial power management applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AP7335-18SNG-7 be used as a direct replacement for the AP7331-18SNG-7?

A: Yes. Both parts deliver identical output voltage (1.8V) and current (300mA) in the same 6-UDFN package with equivalent protection and control features. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained across all specified parameters.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The AP7335-18SNG-7 specifies dropout voltage performance (0.3V @ 300mA) and quiescent current (80 µA), while the AP7331-18SNG-7 does not provide dropout voltage specification and specifies 75 µA quiescent current. PSRR measurement frequency differs (100Hz vs 1kHz).

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same PCB layout?

A: Yes. Both parts use the identical 6-UDFN Exposed Pad (U-DFN2020-6) package and surface mount configuration, requiring no PCB redesign for substitution.

Q: Do these parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both the AP7331-18SNG-7 and AP7335-18SNG-7 operate across -40°C to 85°C.
