Product details
Overview
AP2111H-1.8TRG1 from BCD Semiconductor is a fixed-output 1.8 V, 600 mA CMOS low-dropout linear regulator with enable control and auto-discharge functionality, designed for power rail regulation in space-constrained portable electronics. It delivers ±1.5% output accuracy, 250 mV typical dropout at 600 mA (VIN ≥ 2.8 V), and 50 μVRMS output noise, operating across –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature.
For engineers reviewing the AP2111H-1.8TRG1 datasheet, AP2111H-1.8TRG1 pinout, AP2111H-1.8TRG1 application, or AP2111H-1.8TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 600 mA load capability, SOT-223 thermal performance (θJA = 128°C/W), fast load transient response, and compatibility with 1.0 μF ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP2111H-1.8TRG1 implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with internal voltage reference, error amplifier, and PMOS pass transistor. Its enable input (EN) controls regulator state with logic-high activation (VIH ≥ 1.5 V) and logic-low shutdown (VIL ≤ 0.4 V), triggering built-in 60 Ω VOUT discharge path.
It integrates foldback short-circuit protection (50 mA limit), thermal shutdown (160°C trip with 30°C hysteresis), and UVLO. The device achieves 65 dB PSRR at both 100 Hz and 1 kHz while maintaining 0.2%/A load regulation and 0.02%/V line regulation under full operating conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±1.5% - ensures stable core voltage for 1.8 V logic rails without external feedback components. |
| Max Output Current | 600 mA minimum - supports sustained high-current loads such as microcontroller cores or interface ICs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 250 mV typical @ 600 mA (VIN ≥ 2.8 V) - enables operation from 2.8 V input to deliver regulated 1.8 V with minimal headroom loss. |
| Quiescent Current | 55 μA typical - minimizes standby power draw in battery-powered systems during active regulation. |
| Standby Current | 0.01 μA typical - reduces system leakage to sub-nA levels when EN = low, critical for long-term battery retention. |
| PSRR | 65 dB @ 100 Hz and 1 kHz - suppresses ripple from noisy DC-DC pre-regulators feeding the LDO input. |
| RMS Output Noise | 50 μVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - preserves signal integrity in analog/RF subsystems powered by this rail. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and consumer portable equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-223 package (H variant): thermally enhanced 4-pin surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad; pin 1 = VIN, pin 2 = VOUT, pin 3 = GND, pin 4 = EN (top view).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.8 V to 6.0 V input; must be applied before enabling load to prevent premature foldback activation. |
| VOUT (Pin 2) | Regulated output node | Delivers 1.8 V ±1.5%; requires ≥1.0 μF output capacitor (ceramic/tantalum/aluminum) for stability. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Power and signal reference | Common return for input, output, and enable logic; connects to thermal pad for optimal heat dissipation. |
| EN (Pin 4) | Enable control input | Active-high logic (VIH ≥ 1.5 V); pulls VOUT to ground via 60 Ω internal resistor when low, enabling rapid rail discharge. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-discharge on disable | 60 Ω internal discharge path rapidly collapses VOUT when EN = low, preventing floating rail issues in multi-rail sequencing. |
| Foldback short-circuit protection | 50 mA current limit prevents thermal runaway during output shorts while limiting power dissipation. |
| Low-noise regulation | 50 μVRMS broadband noise enables clean power delivery to ADCs, PLLs, and RF front-ends without added filtering. |
| Flexible capacitor compatibility | Stable with 1.0 μF ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic output caps - simplifies BOM and layout across product variants. |
| High PSRR at audio frequencies | 65 dB rejection at 100 Hz and 1 kHz suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters powering the LDO input. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1802E/TT | 300 mA max output, 170 mV dropout @ 250 mA, no auto-discharge, SOT-23-3 package | Limited to lower-current peripherals; lacks EN-controlled discharge and thermal hysteresis | Select when cost and footprint are prioritized over 600 mA capability and rail collapse control. |
| Torex XC6206P182MR-G | 300 mA max output, 200 mV dropout @ 100 mA, no enable pin, SOT-23-5 package | Fixed-on operation only; no sequencing or standby control; lower PSRR (60 dB @ 1 kHz) | Choose for always-on, ultra-low-quiescent (1.0 μA) applications where enable and discharge are unnecessary. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2111H-1.8TRG1 to maintain regulation at 600 mA?
The datasheet specifies a typical dropout voltage of 250 mV at 600 mA for the 1.8 V version. Therefore, the minimum input voltage is 1.8 V + 0.25 V = 2.05 V; however, the recommended minimum VIN is 2.8 V per the electrical characteristics table to ensure guaranteed 600 mA output across temperature and process variation.
Does AP2111H-1.8TRG1 require an external pull-up resistor on the EN pin?
No. The EN pin has an internal 3.0 MΩ pull-down resistor, so it defaults to OFF (shutdown) when left floating. A logic-high voltage ≥1.5 V must be actively driven to enable regulation; no external pull-up is needed unless open-drain control is used.
Can AP2111H-1.8TRG1 operate with a 10 μF aluminum electrolytic output capacitor?
Yes. The datasheet explicitly states stability with 1.0 μF flexible capacitors including aluminum electrolytic types. A 10 μF unit exceeds the minimum requirement and improves low-frequency ripple suppression, provided ESR remains within the 10–300 mΩ range specified for stability.
Is the SOT-223 package of AP2111H-1.8TRG1 lead (Pb)-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes. The "G1" suffix in AP2111H-1.8TRG1 denotes BCD Semiconductor's Pb-free, RoHS-compliant, and green-qualified product line, verified per JEDEC J-STD-609A standards and compatible with standard reflow profiles.
