Product details
Overview
AAT3221IGV-1.8-T1 from Skyworks Solutions is a nanopower 150 mA low-dropout linear regulator with 1.8 V fixed output, 1.1 µA quiescent current, 200 mV typical dropout at 100 mA, ±2% output accuracy, and active-high enable-designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring ultra-low standby power.
For engineers reviewing the AAT3221IGV-1.8-T1 datasheet, AAT3221IGV-1.8-T1 pinout, AAT3221IGV-1.8-T1 application, or AAT3221IGV-1.8-T1 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 150 mA output under 1.1 µA IQ, stable operation with 1 µF ceramic capacitor, thermal/short-circuit protection, and SOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained handheld designs.
Technical Context
The AAT3221IGV-1.8-T1 implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with internal P-channel pass transistor, enabling ultra-low ground current and fast load transient response. Its enable circuit accepts logic-level inputs (VEN(H) ≥ 2.4 V, VEN(L) ≤ 0.8 V) and reduces shutdown current to 20 nA.
It integrates over-temperature shutdown at 140 °C with 20 °C hysteresis and current-limit protection (350 mA short-circuit current), ensuring robust operation in thermally constrained portable systems without external supervision circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±2% - eliminates external feedback network; supports 1.8 V logic rails and low-power microcontrollers. |
| Quiescent current | 1.1 µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes and remote controls. |
| Dropout voltage | 200 mV typical at 100 mA - allows regulation from 2.0 V input down to 1.8 V output, extending usable battery range. |
| Max output current | 150 mA guaranteed - sufficient for baseband processors, display drivers, and RF front-end biasing in handheld devices. |
| PSRR | 50 dB @ 100 Hz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters feeding the same battery source. |
| Enable polarity | Active-high - simplifies interface with standard GPIOs; EN pin draws ≤1 µA leakage when inactive. |
| Thermal shutdown | 140 °C trip with 20 °C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heat sinking. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Pb-free 5-pin SOT23-5 (JEDEC MO-178AA), MSL1, 260 °C reflow compatible. Footprint optimized for minimal board area and thermal resistance (θJA = 150 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.5–5.5 V input; withstands 7 V transients ≤8 µs; requires local 1 µF ceramic decoupling if >2 cm from source. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Single ground return path for IN, OUT, and EN; must connect directly to low-impedance ground plane to maintain PSRR and stability. |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | CMOS-compatible active-high logic; asserts regulator when ≥2.4 V; disables to 20 nA shutdown current when ≤0.8 V. |
| 4 - NC | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating-no external tie or trace connection permitted. |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 1.8 V ±2% to load; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor (X7R/X5R dielectric) placed adjacent to pin for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nanopower quiescent current | 1.1 µA enables >10-year shelf life in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors and remote controls. |
| Ultra-low dropout | 200 mV at 100 mA allows direct regulation from single Li-ion or two alkaline cells across full discharge curve. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (350 mA) + thermal shutdown (140 °C) eliminate need for external fault management circuitry. |
| Capacitor flexibility | Stable with 0.47–10 µF ceramic capacitors (X7R/X5R); no ESR requirements simplify BOM and layout. |
| Small footprint | SOT23-5 package occupies <1.6 mm² PCB area-ideal for compact wearables and miniature medical devices. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1802E/TT | 1.8 V fixed, 1.6 µA IQ, 600 mV dropout at 250 mA, SOT23-3 (no EN pin) | Lacks enable function and has higher dropout; suitable only for always-on, non-sequenced rails | Choose when board space is critical and enable control is unnecessary; verify 600 mV dropout meets input voltage margin. |
| Torex XC6206P182MR-G | 1.8 V fixed, 1 µA IQ, 160 mV dropout at 100 mA, SOT23-5 with active-low EN | Active-low EN requires inverted logic drive; slightly lower dropout but no thermal shutdown | Prefer for lowest possible dropout where thermal risk is mitigated externally; confirm EN polarity matches host MCU GPIO. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the AAT3221IGV-1.8-T1?
The AAT3221IGV-1.8-T1 has an absolute maximum input voltage of +7 V for pulses ≤30 ms (10% duty cycle), with continuous operation limited to 5.5 V. Exceeding 5.5 V continuously risks exceeding thermal limits or violating recommended operating conditions. The device's internal protection circuits do not guarantee safe operation beyond these ratings, so system design must enforce 5.5 V max under all steady-state conditions.
Does the AAT3221IGV-1.8-T1 require an input capacitor?
The AAT3221IGV-1.8-T1 does not require an input capacitor for basic regulation, but a ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor is strongly recommended when the device is located >2 cm from the power source. This improves line transient response and PSRR. For optimal performance with battery sources, a 1–10 µF X7R ceramic capacitor placed close to the IN pin is advised-no ESR constraints apply.
Can the AAT3221IGV-1.8-T1 operate with a 1.5 V input supply?
No-the AAT3221IGV-1.8-T1 cannot regulate from 1.5 V input because its minimum input voltage is defined by VOUT + VDO. With a 1.8 V output and 200 mV typical dropout, the minimum functional input is ~2.0 V. At 1.5 V, the device enters dropout and cannot maintain 1.8 V output; operation below 2.5 V input is outside recommended conditions per datasheet Table 3.
How does the enable pin behave during power-up?
The AAT3221IGV-1.8-T1 enable pin is active-high and CMOS-compatible. During power-up, the regulator remains off until EN rises above 2.4 V (VEN(H)). If EN is tied to VIN, turn-on occurs after VIN stabilizes above 2.7 V. The device features controlled soft-start behavior-output voltage ramps monotonically without overshoot, as verified in Figure 17–22 of the datasheet.
Is the AAT3221IGV-1.8-T1 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes-the AAT3221IGV-1.8-T1 is manufactured in a Pb-free, halogen-free process and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1) standards. Package marking "G" in the suffix denotes green (halogen-free) construction, and the SOT23-5 body uses matte tin lead finish compatible with standard SnPb and lead-free assembly processes.
