Product details
Overview
AP2112K-1.8TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 1.8V, 600mA CMOS low-dropout linear regulator with enable control and auto-discharge functionality, delivering ±1.5% output accuracy, 250mV typical dropout at full load, and 50µVRMS output noise-designed for powering core logic rails in portable computing and display subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the AP2112K-1.8TRG1 datasheet, AP2112K-1.8TRG1 pinout, AP2112K-1.8TRG1 application, or AP2112K-1.8TRG1 equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (SOT25), validated terminal roles, confirmed thermal shutdown behavior (+160°C), exact load regulation (0.2%/A), and real-world discharge resistance (60Ω) to support stable power rail design in space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The AP2112K-1.8TRG1 implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with internal voltage reference, error amplifier, and pass transistor, optimized for fast transient response to line and load changes. Its enable input controls both regulator activation and automatic VOUT discharge via an integrated 60Ω pull-down path when disabled.
It operates across 2.8V–6.0V input range with guaranteed 600mA output current at 1.8V, supports ceramic/tantalum/aluminum electrolytic output capacitors ≥1.0µF, and features foldback short-circuit protection limiting fault current to 50mA while maintaining thermal shutdown at +160°C with +25°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±1.5% - ensures stable core supply for 1.8V I/O or processor domains without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 600mA minimum - sufficient to power multiple low-power logic ICs or memory interfaces simultaneously. |
| Dropout Voltage | 250mV typical @600mA - enables operation from 2.8V input (e.g., single Li-ion cell with boost or buck-boost pre-regulation). |
| Quiescent Current | 55µA typical - minimizes standby power loss in always-on system management circuits. |
| PSRR | −65dB @100Hz/1kHz - suppresses ripple from noisy switching supplies upstream of the LDO. |
| Output Noise | 50µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) - suitable for noise-sensitive analog circuitry like ADC references or RF bias rails. |
| Enable Threshold | VIL ≤ 0.4V, VIH ≥ 1.5V - compatible with standard 1.8V/3.3V GPIO logic levels without level-shifting. |
| Discharge Resistance | 60Ω when EN = low - actively discharges output capacitance within milliseconds, preventing floating or latch-up in sequenced power systems. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (also referenced as SOT-23-5) surface-mount package with 5 terminals, footprint compliant with IPC-7351A standard; thermal resistance θJA = 184°C/W (no heatsink), θJC = 96°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 1.8V to load; requires ≥1.0µF ceramic capacitor for stability. |
| 2 (NC) | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout best practice-no routing required. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic: ≥1.5V enables regulation; ≤0.4V disables output and activates 60Ω discharge path. |
| 4 (GND) | Power ground | Common return for input, output, and internal circuitry; requires low-impedance PCB plane connection. |
| 5 (VIN) | Input supply | Accepts 2.8V–6.0V DC; requires ≥1.0µF ceramic decoupling close to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-discharge on disable | 60Ω internal pull-down to GND ensures rapid VOUT collapse (<1ms for 10µF), critical for safe power sequencing. |
| Low-noise regulation | 50µVRMS output noise enables clean supply for precision analog blocks without additional filtering. |
| Foldback short-circuit protection | Limits fault current to 50mA during output short, preventing thermal runaway and enabling safe recovery. |
| Wide input voltage range | 2.8V–6.0V operation supports direct use from single-cell Li-ion (with boost) or dual-cell alkaline sources. |
| Stable with flexible output caps | Works with 1.0µF ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic-reduces BOM count and layout constraints. |
| Ultra-low standby current | 0.01µA typical ISTD preserves battery life in long-duration sleep modes of portable devices. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1802E/TT | 300mA max output, 170mV dropout @100mA, no auto-discharge function | Limited to lighter loads; unsuitable where rapid VOUT discharge is required for sequencing | Select only if load current ≤300mA and discharge control is handled externally. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2112K-1.8TRG1 to regulate at full 600mA?
The AP2112K-1.8TRG1 requires VIN ≥ 2.8V to maintain regulation at 600mA output, based on its 250mV typical dropout voltage (1.8V + 0.25V = 2.05V minimum theoretical, but datasheet specifies 2.8V as absolute minimum operating condition). Below 2.8V, output collapses or enters dropout mode with increasing load-dependent droop.
Does AP2112K-1.8TRG1 require an external pull-up resistor on the EN pin?
No external pull-up is required: the AP2112K-1.8TRG1 integrates a 3.0MΩ internal EN pull-down resistor, ensuring default-off behavior at power-up. An external pull-up is only needed if system-level logic mandates active-high enable with guaranteed startup timing-otherwise, direct GPIO drive suffices.
Can AP2112K-1.8TRG1 be used with a 2.2µF X5R ceramic output capacitor?
Yes-AP2112K-1.8TRG1 is stable with 1.0µF or larger ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic output capacitors. A 2.2µF X5R ceramic improves transient response margin and reduces output impedance across frequency, provided ESR remains <10mΩ and layout minimizes parasitic inductance.
How does the auto-discharge function behave during thermal shutdown?
During thermal shutdown, the AP2112K-1.8TRG1 disables regulation and activates the 60Ω VOUT-to-GND discharge path regardless of EN state. This ensures safe output collapse even under fault conditions, preventing latch-up or back-powering of upstream circuitry during overtemperature events.
