Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AP7366EA-SN-7 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Output configuration (Positive)
• Output type (Adjustable)
• Number of regulators (1)
• Maximum input voltage (6V)
• Output voltage range (0.8V to 5V)
• Output current capability (600mA)
• Quiescent current (80 µA)
• PSRR specification (75dB ~ 55dB at 1kHz ~ 10kHz)
• Control features (Enable function)
• Protection features (Over Current, Over Temperature, Short Circuit)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Package type (6-UDFN Exposed Pad)
• Supplier device package (U-DFN2020-6)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Tape & Reel packaging format

Compliance Equivalence Criteria:

• RoHS3 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited)
• REACH status (REACH Unaffected)

Parts meeting all three equivalence categories are classified as direct substitutes.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AP7366EA-SN-7 (Primary Selection)

The AP7366EA-SN-7 is the recommended primary component for new designs and procurement. This part maintains Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturer support. Full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH regulations is confirmed. The device is available in adequate inventory quantities (3800 units) for production requirements.

AP7366-SN-7 (Substitute Selection)

The AP7366-SN-7 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the AP7366EA-SN-7 across all specified parameters. However, this part carries Obsolete product status, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability. The substitute maintains identical electrical performance, package configuration, and regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1).

Selection of AP7366-SN-7 is appropriate only when:

• AP7366EA-SN-7 inventory is unavailable
• Existing inventory of AP7366-SN-7 is available (4361 units in stock)
• Design specifications do not require long-term component availability guarantees
• Supply chain continuity is not a critical project requirement

Both parts are manufactured by Diodes Incorporated and share identical base product designation (AP7366), confirming parametric equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AP7366-SN-7 be used as a direct replacement for AP7366EA-SN-7?

A: Yes. The AP7366-SN-7 is electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters including output voltage range (0.8V to 5V), output current (600mA), package type (6-UDFN Exposed Pad), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with identical protection features and control capabilities.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. AP7366EA-SN-7 is Active, while AP7366-SN-7 is Obsolete. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, mechanical packaging, and regulatory compliance. The suffix variation in the part number reflects manufacturing or revision differences, but functional equivalence is maintained.

Q: Are there any dropout voltage differences between these parts?

A: The AP7366EA-SN-7 specifies maximum dropout voltage of 0.85V at 600mA. The AP7366-SN-7 does not provide dropout voltage specification in available documentation. For applications where dropout voltage is a critical design parameter, the AP7366EA-SN-7 is the preferred selection.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical 6-UDFN Exposed Pad surface mount packaging (U-DFN2020-6) with the same pinout and footprint. No PCB layout modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these components?

A: Both AP7366EA-SN-7 and AP7366-SN-7 carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard handling procedures apply without special moisture control requirements.

Q: Are both parts compliant with environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions for electronic components.

Q: Which part should be selected for new product designs?

A: AP7366EA-SN-7 is the appropriate selection for new designs due to Active product status, ensuring manufacturer support and long-term availability. AP7366-SN-7 should be reserved for legacy system maintenance or when primary part availability is exhausted.
