Product details
Overview
AAT3221IJS-2.6-T1 from Skyworks Solutions is a nanopower 150 mA low-dropout linear regulator with 2.6 V fixed output, 1.1 µA quiescent current, 205 mV typical dropout at 100 mA, ±2% output accuracy, and active-high enable-designed for battery-powered handheld electronics requiring ultra-low standby power.
For engineers reviewing the AAT3221IJS-2.6-T1 datasheet, AAT3221IJS-2.6-T1 pinout, AAT3221IJS-2.6-T1 application, or AAT3221IJS-2.6-T1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOT23-5 package mapping, thermal protection behavior, shutdown current (20 nA), and real-world load regulation data across 2.6 V output.
Technical Context
The AAT3221IJS-2.6-T1 implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with internal P-channel pass transistor, enabling ultra-low IQ and stable operation with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors. Its enable circuit accepts logic-compatible input (VEN(H) ≥ 2.4 V at VIN = 5 V; VEN(L) ≤ 0.8 V) and drives shutdown current below 20 nA.
It integrates dual protection: current-limiting (350 mA short-circuit threshold) and over-temperature shutdown at 140 °C with 20 °C hysteresis. Dropout voltage is specified at 205 mV (typical) for 2.6 V output at 100 mA, scaling per VOUT per Table 4.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 2.6 V ±2% - ensures stable rail for 2.5–2.7 V logic or analog circuits without external feedback. |
| Quiescent current | 1.1 µA typical - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes or remote controls with multi-year runtime. |
| Dropout voltage | 205 mV typical at 100 mA - supports operation down to VIN = 2.805 V while maintaining regulated 2.6 V output. |
| Max output current | 150 mA guaranteed - sufficient for microcontrollers, RF transceivers, or display drivers in portable devices. |
| Shutdown current | 20 nA maximum - reduces system leakage to negligible levels during deep sleep modes. |
| PSRR | 50 dB at 100 Hz - suppresses low-frequency ripple from switching converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Output noise | 350 µVRMS (10 Hz–10 kHz) - suitable for noise-sensitive analog sensors or ADC reference supplies. |
| 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 layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.805 V to 5.5 V DC; withstands 7 V transient pulses up to 8 µs per absolute max rating. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Single ground return path required; must connect directly to COUT and PCB ground plane for PSRR and stability. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic: device enabled when ≥2.4 V (VIN = 5 V); disabled when ≤0.8 V; draws ≤1 µA leakage. |
| 4 (NC) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating-no external tie or pull-up/down. |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 2.6 V ±2% to load; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor between OUT and GND for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nanopower operation | 1.1 µA ground current enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered IoT endpoints. |
| Ultra-low shutdown current | 20 nA disables output while preserving system state-critical for wake-on-event architectures. |
| Capacitor flexibility | Stable with 0.47–10 µF ceramic capacitors (X7R/X5R dielectric recommended); no ESR constraints. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit + thermal shutdown prevent failure under short-circuit or high ambient temperature (up to +85 °C). |
| Low-noise regulation | 350 µVRMS noise avoids corruption of precision analog signals or RF receiver front-ends. |
| Wide input range | Operates from (VOUT + VDO) to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (4.2 V max) and dual-cell alkaline inputs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2602E/TT | 2.6 V fixed, 1.6 µA IQ, 175 mV dropout at 250 mA, SOT23-3 (no EN pin) | Lacks enable function and thermal shutdown; requires external logic for power sequencing. | Select when board space is constrained and shutdown control is handled externally. |
| TNIV2600024R | 2.6 V fixed, 2.5 µA IQ, 250 mV dropout at 150 mA, SC-70-5 (EN pin active-low) | Higher IQ increases battery load; active-low EN requires inverted control signal. | Choose only if active-low interface matches existing MCU GPIO configuration and thermal margin is sufficient. |
Compared with MCP1700T-2602E/TT and TNIV2600024R, the AAT3221IJS-2.6-T1 uniquely combines nanopower IQ (1.1 µA), integrated thermal protection, and active-high EN in a standard SOT23-5 footprint-enabling simpler, more robust power management in space- and energy-constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AAT3221IJS-2.6-T1 to maintain regulation?
The AAT3221IJS-2.6-T1 requires VIN ≥ (VOUT + VDO). For 2.6 V output at 100 mA, typical dropout is 205 mV, so minimum VIN is 2.805 V. Per datasheet Table 3, VIN must also be ≥2.5 V regardless of VDO-thus 2.805 V governs. At light loads, dropout drops further, allowing operation closer to 2.6 V.
Does AAT3221IJS-2.6-T1 require an input capacitor (CIN)?
An input capacitor is not mandatory for basic operation of AAT3221IJS-2.6-T1, but it is strongly recommended when the device is located >1–2 cm from the power source. A 1 µF ceramic CIN improves line transient response and PSRR. The datasheet confirms no ESR requirement, permitting use of ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic types.
Can AAT3221IJS-2.6-T1 operate with a 10 µF tantalum output capacitor?
Yes, AAT3221IJS-2.6-T1 is stable with high-ESR capacitors including tantalum, though ceramic is preferred. With 10 µF tantalum, ESR may exceed 1 Ω-still within the device's stability range per datasheet Section "Output Capacitor". However, ceramic offers better transient response and lower noise, so 10 µF X7R ceramic is optimal for demanding applications.
What happens to AAT3221IJS-2.6-T1 during thermal shutdown?
When junction temperature reaches 140 °C, AAT3221IJS-2.6-T1 disables its pass transistor and forces output to near-zero voltage. It remains latched off until die temperature falls by 20 °C (to ~120 °C), then automatically resumes regulation. This protects against permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking-verified in datasheet Section "Short-Circuit Protection and Thermal Protection".
Is the NC pin on AAT3221IJS-2.6-T1 safe to leave unconnected?
Yes-the NC (pin 4) on AAT3221IJS-2.6-T1 is internally unconnected and must remain floating per Table 1 and datasheet Figure 2. No pull-up, pull-down, or trace routing is permitted. Connecting it risks undefined behavior or latch-up; leaving it open ensures correct operation and meets JEDEC SOT23-5 mechanical compliance.
