Product details
Overview
AP2112R5-2.5TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed 2.5V, 600mA CMOS low-dropout linear regulator in SOT89-5 (R5) package with enable control, ±1.5% output accuracy, and 250mV typical dropout at full load. It delivers stable power to core logic rails in space-constrained portable electronics requiring fast transient response and auto-discharge functionality.
For engineers reviewing the AP2112R5-2.5TRG1 datasheet, AP2112R5-2.5TRG1 pinout, AP2112R5-2.5TRG1 application, or AP2112R5-2.5TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 600mA, EN logic thresholds, thermal shutdown behavior, and compatibility with 1µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP2112R5-2.5TRG1 integrates a precision bandgap reference, error amplifier, and PMOS pass transistor in a CMOS process, enabling low quiescent current (55µA typ.) and fast loop response for line/load transients. Its foldback short-circuit protection limits output current to 50mA during fault conditions.
It features an internal 60Ω VOUT-to-GND discharge path when disabled, eliminating external bleed resistors. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient and supports input voltages from 2.5V to 6.0V, with PSRR of –65dB at both 100Hz and 1kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±1.5% - ensures stable core supply for 2.5V I/O or analog subsystems without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 600mA minimum - sufficient for powering microcontroller cores, FPGA I/O banks, or sensor signal chains. |
| Dropout Voltage | 250mV typical @ 600mA - enables operation from 2.75V input, supporting single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V rail derivation. |
| Quiescent Current | 55µA typical - minimizes standby power loss in battery-powered systems with frequent sleep/wake cycles. |
| PSRR | –65dB @ 100Hz/1kHz - suppresses ripple from noisy switching supplies feeding the LDO input. |
| Enable Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.4V, VIH ≥ 1.5V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at +160°C with +25°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
SOT89-5 (R5) package: 5-pin surface-mount outline with exposed thermal pad (pin 2 = GND), optimized for moderate-power dissipation in compact layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOUT | Regulated 2.5V output; connects directly to load; requires 1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
| 2 | VIN | Input supply (2.5–6.0V); must be decoupled with 1µF ceramic capacitor close to pin. |
| 3 | NC | No connection - electrically isolated; no routing or soldering required. |
| 4 | GND | Power ground return; ties to PCB thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation. |
| 5 | EN | Active-high enable; drives high (>1.5V) to activate regulator, low (<0.4V) to disable with 60Ω auto-discharge. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-discharge on disable | 60Ω internal VOUT-to-GND path eliminates hold-up voltage, enabling safe sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
| Stable with 1µF output cap | Supports ceramic, tantalum, and aluminum electrolytic capacitors - reduces BOM count and board area vs. larger-cap requirements. |
| Foldback short-circuit protection | Limits fault current to 50mA - prevents thermal runaway while allowing recovery after overload removal. |
| Low noise output | 50µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) - suitable for noise-sensitive analog circuits like ADC references or RF bias rails. |
| Wide input range | 2.5V to 6.0V operation - accommodates varied sources including Li-ion batteries, USB ports, and intermediate DC-DC outputs. |

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/TT | 300mA max output, 170mV dropout @ 250mA, no auto-discharge, SOT23-3 package | Limited to lower-current peripherals; lacks EN-controlled discharge for sequencing | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-power applications where 600mA headroom and discharge are unnecessary |
| Torex XC6206P252MR-G | 500mA max output, 200mV dropout @ 500mA, ±2% accuracy, no thermal shutdown | Lower current capability and wider voltage tolerance; no overtemperature protection | Prefer for space-constrained designs needing smaller SOT23-3 footprint, accepting reduced safety margin |
Compared with MCP1700T-2502E/TT and XC6206P252MR-G, the AP2112R5-2.5TRG1 uniquely combines 600mA drive, ±1.5% accuracy, integrated auto-discharge, and thermal shutdown in a thermally enhanced SOT89-5 package-making it optimal for mid-power portable systems demanding reliability and sequencing control.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2112R5-2.5TRG1 to regulate at 2.5V?
The AP2112R5-2.5TRG1 requires a minimum input voltage of 2.5V per its Recommended Operating Conditions. At 600mA load, the typical dropout is 250mV, so reliable regulation begins at VIN ≥ 2.75V. Below 2.5V, the device enters dropout and cannot maintain 2.5V output regardless of load.
Does AP2112R5-2.5TRG1 require an external pull-down resistor on the EN pin?
No. The AP2112R5-2.5TRG1 includes an internal 3.0MΩ EN pull-down resistor, ensuring default disable state when EN is left floating. An external resistor is unnecessary unless specific timing or noise immunity requirements dictate stronger pull-down strength.
Can AP2112R5-2.5TRG1 be used with a 0.47µF ceramic output capacitor?
No. The datasheet specifies stability with ≥1.0µF output capacitance (ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum). Using 0.47µF violates the minimum requirement and risks oscillation or poor transient response. Always use 1.0µF or greater with ESR ≤ 100mΩ.
How does the auto-discharge function behave during EN deactivation?
When EN is driven low, the AP2112R5-2.5TRG1 activates an internal 60Ω switch between VOUT and GND, discharging the output capacitor rapidly. This ensures VOUT falls below 0.1V within milliseconds, preventing unintended operation of downstream logic during power-down sequences.
