Product details
Overview
AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1 from Skyworks Solutions is a 150 mA, 2.5 V fixed-output nanopower LDO linear regulator in a Pb-free 5-pin SOT23-5 package, featuring 1.1 µA quiescent current, 210 mV typical dropout at 100 mA, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and active-high enable-designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring ultra-low standby power.
For engineers reviewing the AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1 datasheet, AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1 pinout, AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1 application, or AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 150 mA output under 2.5 V regulation, shutdown current <20 nA, thermal/short-circuit protection, and compatibility with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors without stability compensation.
Technical Context
The AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1 implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with internal P-channel pass transistor, enabling low dropout and near-zero ground current in shutdown. Its enable input is logic-compatible (VEN(H) ≥ 2.4 V at VIN = 5 V; VEN(L) ≤ 0.8 V), and it features integrated over-temperature shutdown at 140 °C with 20 °C hysteresis.
It delivers stable regulation across –40 °C to +85 °C ambient, supports input voltages from (VOUT + VDO) up to 5.5 V, and maintains PSRR ≥ 50 dB at 100 Hz while rejecting line/load transients with minimal output excursion-enabled by optimized internal compensation for low-ESR ceramic capacitors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±2% - ensures precise biasing for 2.5 V logic rails and analog circuitry without external feedback. |
| Max output current | 150 mA continuous - sufficient to power baseband processors, sensors, or RF front-end ICs in compact portable devices. |
| Quiescent current | 1.1 µA typical - extends battery life in always-on subsystems such as real-time clocks or wake-up controllers. |
| Dropout voltage | 210 mV typical at 100 mA - allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or two-cell alkaline (3.2 V min) with margin. |
| Shutdown current | <20 nA - reduces system leakage to negligible levels during deep sleep modes. |
| PSRR | ≥50 dB at 100 Hz - suppresses switching noise from DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Thermal shutdown | 140 °C trip with 20 °C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Pb-free 5-pin SOT23-5 (JEDEC MO-178AA), MSL1, 260 °C reflow compatible. Footprint matches industry-standard SOT-23-5 layout with 0.95 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V input; supports transient pulses up to 7 V for 8 µs per datasheet Note 2. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Must be connected directly to low-impedance ground plane; critical for PSRR and transient response. |
| 3 - EN | Active-high enable control | Logic high (≥2.4 V) enables regulation; logic low (≤0.8 V) disables output and reduces IQ to <20 nA. |
| 4 - NC | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating-no external tie or pull-up/down required. |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 2.5 V ±2%; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND placed adjacent to pin for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nanopower quiescent current | 1.1 µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in energy-harvesting or coin-cell applications. |
| Ultra-low shutdown current | <20 nA - eliminates measurable drain during system hibernation, critical for IoT edge nodes. |
| Factory-trimmed output | 2.5 V ±2% over temperature - removes need for external trimming resistors or calibration in production. |
| Capacitor flexibility | Stable with ≥1 µF ceramic (X7R/X5R) - avoids costly tantalum or polymer capacitors and simplifies BOM. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit + thermal shutdown - enables robust operation in unattended embedded systems without external fault management. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2502E/MB | 250 mA max output, 1.6 µA IQ, no thermal shutdown, SOT23-5 | Lacks over-temperature protection; higher IQ reduces battery life in long-duration standby | Choose only if higher output current is required and thermal risk is mitigated externally. |
| TCS2115-2.5V | 150 mA max, 1.2 µA IQ, 220 mV dropout at 100 mA, SC70-5 | Smaller SC70-5 footprint but lower thermal mass; derates to ~100 mA at TA = 85 °C | Prefer when board space is constrained and full 150 mA load is not sustained above 60 °C. |
Compared with MCP1700T-2502E/MB and TCS2115-2.5V, the AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1 uniquely combines 1.1 µA IQ, integrated thermal shutdown, and guaranteed 150 mA output in SOT23-5-making it optimal for thermally unmanaged, battery-critical portable designs where reliability and ultra-low leakage are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1?
The AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1 has an absolute maximum input voltage of +7 V for pulses ≤30 ms (10% duty cycle), but its recommended continuous operating input range is 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Exceeding 5.5 V continuously risks exceeding thermal limits or triggering overvoltage stress beyond datasheet specifications. Always maintain VIN ≤ 5.5 V in production designs using AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1.
Does the AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1 require an input capacitor?
The AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1 does not require an input capacitor for basic regulation, but a ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor is strongly recommended when the device is located >1–2 cm from the power source. This improves line transient response and PSRR. For AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1 applications with noisy input supplies-such as those fed by switching regulators-a 2.2 µF X7R ceramic capacitor placed close to the IN pin is optimal.
Can the AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1 operate with a 1 µF output capacitor?
Yes-the AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1 is explicitly designed and characterized for stable operation with a minimum 1 µF ceramic output capacitor (X7R or X5R dielectric). Using 1 µF meets all stability, load transient, and startup requirements per the datasheet. Larger values (e.g., 2.2–4.7 µF) further improve transient response but are not necessary for baseline functionality of AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1.
What is the enable pin logic polarity for the AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1?
The AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1 uses active-high enable logic: the regulator turns on when EN ≥ 2.4 V (at VIN = 5 V) and shuts down when EN ≤ 0.8 V. This is confirmed in Table 4 and Application Information section of the datasheet. If unused, EN should be tied to VIN-not left floating-to ensure reliable operation of AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1 in production systems.
How does thermal protection work in the AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1?
The AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1 activates thermal shutdown at 140 °C junction temperature, disabling the output until die temperature falls below 120 °C (20 °C hysteresis). This protects against permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heat sinking. The shutdown is fully automatic and self-recovering-no external circuitry is needed to manage thermal events for AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1.
