Product details
Overview
AP2112R5A-1.2TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed 1.2V, 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. It operates across –40°C to +85°C and supports stable regulation with 1.0µF ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic output capacitors in portable computing and display power rails.
For engineers reviewing the AP2112R5A-1.2TRG1 datasheet, AP2112R5A-1.2TRG1 pinout, AP2112R5A-1.2TRG1 application, or AP2112R5A-1.2TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 600mA output current, 0.02%/V line regulation, thermal shutdown at +160°C, EN logic compatibility (0–0.4V low, 1.5–6.0V high), and 60Ω VOUT discharge resistance during disable.
Technical Context
The AP2112R5A-1.2TRG1 implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with internal voltage reference, error amplifier, and foldback current-limit protection (50mA short-circuit limit). Its fast loop response enables robust transient suppression for line and load steps in tightly regulated 1.2V domains.
It integrates an active pull-down on the EN pin (3.0MΩ internal resistor) and a dedicated 60Ω discharge path from VOUT to GND when disabled-critical for preventing back-powering in multi-rail systems. The device is specified for input voltages from 2.5V to 6.0V and maintains stability with minimal 1.0µF output capacitance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2V ±1.5% - ensures precise core voltage for low-voltage microcontrollers and memory interfaces |
| Max Output Current | 600mA min. - sufficient for powering SoC cores, FPGAs, or DDR termination in portable devices |
| Dropout Voltage | 250mV typ. @ 600mA - enables operation from 1.45V input, supporting battery-backed or cascaded supply designs |
| Quiescent Current | 55µA typ. - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or sensors |
| PSRR | –65dB @ 100Hz/1kHz - suppresses ripple from noisy switching supplies feeding the LDO input |
| Output Noise | 50µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) - meets low-noise requirements for analog signal chains and RF bias rails |
| Enable Threshold | VIL ≤ 0.4V, VIH ≥ 1.5V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C with +25°C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design |
Pinout & Package
SOT89-5 (R5A) package: 5-pin surface-mount outline with exposed thermal pad (pin 3 NC, pin 5 EN), optimized for moderate-power thermal dissipation in space-constrained applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOUT | Regulated 1.2V output - connects directly to load; requires local 1.0µF ceramic capacitor |
| 2 | VIN | Input supply (2.5–6.0V) - must be filtered upstream to meet PSRR performance |
| 3 | NC | No connection - electrically isolated; no PCB trace or copper pour required |
| 4 | GND | Power ground return - must tie to low-impedance system ground plane for noise control |
| 5 | EN | Active-high enable - drives regulator ON/OFF; internal 3.0MΩ pull-down holds OFF at power-up |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-discharge function | 60Ω internal VOUT-to-GND switch when EN = low - eliminates residual voltage on downstream circuitry during shutdown |
| Foldback current limiting | 50mA short-circuit limit - protects IC and source supply during output faults without thermal runaway |
| Stability with flexible output cap | Works with 1.0µF ceramic/tantalum/aluminum - reduces BOM count and simplifies layout vs. traditional LDOs requiring >10µF |
| Low standby current | 0.01µA typ. - enables multi-year battery life in maintenance-free IoT edge nodes |
| ESD robustness | HBM 4000V / MM 400V - withstands handling and board-level ESD events without external protection |

|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1703T-1202E/MB | 1.2V, 250mA max, 600mV dropout @ 250mA, no auto-discharge | Limited to lower-current peripherals; lacks VOUT discharge path for strict power sequencing | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs current capability and discharge requirement |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2112R5A-1.2TRG1 to regulate 1.2V output?
The recommended minimum input voltage is 2.5V per the datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions. At 600mA load, the 250mV typical dropout requires VIN ≥ 1.45V, but 2.5V ensures full specification compliance-including line regulation, PSRR, and thermal margin-across temperature and process variation.
Does AP2112R5A-1.2TRG1 require an input capacitor?
Yes-an input capacitor (minimum 1.0µF ceramic) is required for stability and transient suppression. The datasheet specifies CIN = 1.0µF (X7R/X5R dielectric recommended) to maintain PSRR performance and prevent oscillation during fast load steps, especially when sourced from high-impedance or switching supplies.
Can AP2112R5A-1.2TRG1 be used with aluminum electrolytic output capacitors?
Yes-the device is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with 1.0µF aluminum electrolytic, tantalum, or ceramic output capacitors. Unlike many LDOs, it does not require specific ESR ranges, eliminating the need for ESR-tuning networks and simplifying capacitor selection for cost-sensitive or high-temperature applications.
How does the auto-discharge function behave during EN deactivation?
When EN is driven low, the internal 60Ω switch connects VOUT directly to GND, discharging the output capacitor rapidly. This prevents back-powering of upstream circuitry or unintended wake-up of downstream ICs. Discharge time depends on COUT value-for example, a 10µF capacitor discharges to <100mV in ~300µs (τ = R×C = 60Ω × 10µF).
