Product details
Overview
AK1110AEU50 from Asahi Kasei Microdevices is a dual-output low-dropout linear regulator with independent 5.0 V outputs (LDO1: 200 mA, LDO2: 100 mA), 600 mV dropout at full load, ultra-low output noise (2 µVRMS and 1 µVRMS), and high PSRR (83 dB and 100 dB at 1 kHz). It serves as a precision power supply for noise-sensitive analog/RF circuitry in compact embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the AK1110AEU50 datasheet, AK1110AEU50 pinout, AK1110AEU50 application, or AK1110AEU50 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail ultra-low-noise regulation, NP-pin bypass capability for noise suppression, thermal/overcurrent protection, and PLP10-2725 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AK1110AEU50 integrates two independent bipolar LDO regulators sharing a common ground plane but featuring separate input, output, and noise-bypass terminals. Each channel includes dedicated internal protection circuits-thermal shutdown at 135–155 °C and current limiting-with autonomous recovery behavior.
Its monolithic silicon bipolar architecture enables stable operation with ceramic capacitors ≥3.3 µF and supports noise optimization via external 3.3 µF+ capacitors on NP_LDO1/NP_LDO2 pins-bypass paths that do not affect loop stability but directly suppress 10 Hz–100 kHz output noise and improve PSRR above 1 kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V ±100 mV (LDO1/LDO2); maintains accuracy across –40°C to +85°C ambient and 1–200 mA / 1–100 mA loads. |
| Dropout Voltage | 600 mV at 200 mA (LDO1), 600 mV at 100 mA (LDO2); enables regulation down to VIN = 5.6 V while sustaining full rated output. |
| Output Noise | 2 µVRMS (LDO1), 1 µVRMS (LDO2), 10 Hz–100 kHz; measured with 10 µF NP capacitor; critical for DAC reference and PLL VCO supply rails. |
| PSRR | 83 dB @ 1 kHz (LDO1), 100 dB @ 1 kHz (LDO2); ensures rejection of switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters. |
| Enable Threshold | VENH ≥ 1.8 V (ON), VENL ≤ 0.35 V (OFF); built-in 300 kΩ pull-down enables simple microcontroller GPIO control without external biasing. |
| Thermal Protection | Shuts down at TJ = 135–155 °C; auto-recovers when junction cools below hysteresis threshold-no latch-up or manual reset required. |
| Package | PLP10-2725 (2.7 mm × 2.5 mm × 0.6 mm) with exposed thermal pad internally connected to GND; supports JEDEC-compliant 4-layer board thermal derating (55.4 °C/W). |
Pinout & Package
AK1110AEU50 uses the PLP10-2725 10-pin leadless package with an exposed thermal pad (internally tied to GND). Pin 1–10 are arranged in a single row; the exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB GND plane using ≥4 thermal vias for optimal thermal performance and EMI suppression.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT_LDO2 | LDO2 regulated output | Delivers stable 5.0 V / 100 mA; requires local 3.3 µF+ ceramic capacitor to GND_LDO2 for stability and transient response. |
| VIN_LDO2 | LDO2 input power | Accepts 6–14 V input; decoupled by shared CIN (≥1.0 µF) near VIN_LDO1/VIN_LDO2 pins and GND_REG. |
| EN | Global enable control | High-active logic input (1.8–16 V compatible); controls both LDO1 and LDO2 simultaneously; internal 300 kΩ pull-down ensures safe OFF state at power-up. |
| VIN_LDO1 | LDO1 input power | Accepts same 6–14 V input as VIN_LDO2; shares CIN but must maintain low-impedance path to GND_REG. |
| VOUT_LDO1 | LDO1 regulated output | Delivers stable 5.0 V / 200 mA; higher current capability than LDO2; requires dedicated COUT1 ≥3.3 µF with ESR ≤0.1 Ω. |
| GND_LDO1 | LDO1 ground return | Separate ground pin for LDO1 output stage; routed independently to minimize noise coupling into sensitive analog loads. |
| NP_LDO1 | LDO1 noise bypass | Connects to external 3.3 µF+ capacitor to GND_LDO1; reduces 10 Hz–100 kHz output noise without affecting stability-key for RF/PLL applications. |
| GND_REG | Internal regulator ground | Reference ground for internal bias circuitry; must be tied to system GND plane with low-inductance connection. |
| NP_LDO2 | LDO2 noise bypass | Same function as NP_LDO1 but for LDO2; enables independent noise tuning per rail-critical when powering mixed-signal SoCs with distinct analog/digital domains. |
| GND_LDO2 | LDO2 ground return | Separate ground pin for LDO2; prevents LDO2 load transients from modulating LDO1 output voltage via shared ground impedance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent LDOs | Enables clean, isolated 5.0 V supplies for analog (LDO2) and digital/IO (LDO1) domains-eliminates need for two discrete regulators and saves board area. |
| Ultra-low noise (1–2 µVRMS) | Meets stringent requirements for high-resolution DAC references and VCO power rails where sub-µV noise directly impacts SNR and phase jitter. |
| High PSRR (83–100 dB) | Rejects ripple from noisy switchers (e.g., buck converters) up to 1 MHz-ensures signal integrity in RF front-ends and ADC clocking circuits. |
| NP-terminal noise bypass | Allows designers to trade off capacitor count vs. noise floor: adding 3.3 µF+ to NP pins improves noise/PSRR without altering output capacitor selection or stability margins. |
| Thermal + overcurrent protection | Self-protecting operation under overload or poor heatsinking-prevents field failures in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments. |
Applications
| High-Precision DAC Power | RF Transceiver Bias |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for AK1110AEU50?
The absolute maximum input voltage for AK1110AEU50 is 16 V across VIN_LDO1 and VIN_LDO2 pins. However, the recommended operating range is 6 V to 14 V per the datasheet. Exceeding 14 V risks accelerated parametric drift and reduced long-term reliability, especially at elevated temperatures. Always observe the 0.3 V reverse bias limit on VOUT pins relative to GND.
How does the NP_LDO1 and NP_LDO2 functionality differ between AK1110AEU50 and standard LDOs?
Unlike standard LDOs, AK1110AEU50 provides dedicated NP_LDO1 and NP_LDO2 pins that connect to internal noise-reduction circuitry-allowing external capacitors (≥3.3 µF) to shunt high-frequency noise before it reaches the output. This architecture achieves 1–2 µVRMS noise without compromising stability or requiring ultra-low-ESR output capacitors, a capability absent in conventional single-rail LDOs.
Can AK1110AEU50 power both analog and digital sections of an ADC simultaneously?
Yes-AK1110AEU50 is explicitly designed for this use case. LDO2 (100 mA, 1 µVRMS) powers noise-sensitive analog sections like reference buffers and front-end amplifiers, while LDO1 (200 mA, 2 µVRMS) supplies digital interfaces and internal logic. Separate GND_LDO1/GND_LDO2 pins prevent digital switching noise from modulating the analog rail, preserving ENOB in 16-bit+ ADCs.
What thermal derating applies to AK1110AEU50 on a standard 2-layer PCB?
On a 2-layer PCB (not the JEDEC 4-layer reference), AK1110AEU50's thermal resistance rises significantly-derating exceeds –18 mW/°C above 25°C ambient. For continuous 200 mA operation, keep ambient below 60°C or add copper pour + thermal vias under the exposed pad. The datasheet specifies 55.4 °C/W only for compliant 4-layer boards; uncontrolled 2-layer layouts may exceed 100 °C/W.
Is AK1110AEU50 RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes-AK1110AEU50 meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per J-STD-709. Asahi Kasei confirms compliance in its official product change notices and material declarations. No exemptions apply; lead content is <1000 ppm, and brominated flame retardants are absent from the PLP10-2725 package molding compound.
