Product details
Overview
AP2112R5A-1.8TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a 600mA CMOS low-dropout linear regulator with enable function and fixed 1.8V output, ±1.5% accuracy, 250mV typical dropout at 600mA, and auto-discharge via 60Ω internal resistor when disabled. It delivers stable power to core logic rails in space-constrained portable electronics requiring fast transient response and ultra-low quiescent current.
For engineers reviewing the AP2112R5A-1.8TRG1 datasheet, AP2112R5A-1.8TRG1 pinout, AP2112R5A-1.8TRG1 application, or AP2112R5A-1.8TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 600mA load capability, 55µA typical quiescent current, 60Ω VOUT discharge path, SOT89-5 (R5A) package thermal resistance of 47°C/W, and compatibility with 1.0µF ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP2112R5A-1.8TRG1 integrates a precision voltage reference, error amplifier, pass transistor, and enable-controlled shutdown logic. Its CMOS architecture enables low dropout (250mV @ 600mA for 1.8V output), fast loop response for line/load transients, and foldback short-circuit protection limiting output current to 50mA under fault conditions.
Thermal shutdown activates at +160°C with +25°C hysteresis, and the EN pin provides active-high control (VIH ≥ 1.5V, VIL ≤ 0.4V). The device operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient, supports input voltages from 2.8V to 6.0V, and maintains 0.02%/V line regulation and 0.2%/A load regulation.
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 logic domains without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 600mA minimum - supports moderate-power microcontrollers, FPGAs, and interface ICs in compact designs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 250mV typical @ 600mA - enables operation from 2.8V input while maintaining 1.8V output, critical for battery-powered systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 55µA typical - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or sensor interfaces. |
| VOUT Discharge | 60Ω internal resistor activated on disable - rapidly discharges output capacitance to prevent floating or latch-up in sequenced power systems. |
| PSRR | –65dB @ 100Hz/1kHz - suppresses ripple from noisy DC-DC stages upstream, preserving analog/RF signal integrity. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and consumer portable equipment environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
SOT89-5 (R5A) package: 5-pin thermally enhanced surface-mount outline with exposed pad for improved heat dissipation (θJC = 47°C/W). Pin 1 = VOUT, Pin 2 = VIN, Pin 3 = EN, Pin 4 = GND, Pin 5 = NC (no connection).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOUT | Regulated 1.8V output - connects directly to load; requires 1.0µF ceramic capacitor for stability. |
| 2 | VIN | Input supply (2.8V–6.0V) - must be filtered; reverse-polarity protected by internal structure. |
| 3 | EN | Active-high enable - logic high (≥1.5V) enables regulation; logic low (≤0.4V) disables output and engages 60Ω discharge path. |
| 4 | GND | Power ground - shared reference for VIN, VOUT, and EN; requires low-impedance PCB return path. |
| 5 | NC | No connection - electrically isolated; must not be bonded or soldered to PCB trace or plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-discharge function | 60Ω internal pull-down on VOUT during disable - eliminates need for external bleed resistor in power sequencing designs. |
| Stable with 1.0µF output cap | Compatible with ceramic, tantalum, and aluminum electrolytic types - reduces BOM count and board area vs. larger-capacitance LDOs. |
| Foldback short-circuit protection | 50mA current limit - prevents thermal runaway during sustained output shorts while enabling safe auto-recovery. |
| Low noise & high PSRR | 50µVRMS output noise and –65dB PSRR at 100Hz/1kHz - suitable for powering ADCs, PLLs, and RF front-ends. |
| Wide input voltage range | 2.8V to 6.0V operation - accommodates single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), dual-cell alkaline (2.4–3.2V), and 3.3V/5V rail inputs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1802E/MB | 300mA max output, 1.8V fixed, 6µA IQ, SOT23-3 package | Limited to low-power sensors or RTCs; no EN pin or VOUT discharge | Select only for ultra-low-IQ battery monitoring where 600mA load is unnecessary. |
| Torex XC6219B182MR-G | 600mA max, 1.8V fixed, ±2% accuracy, 120mV dropout @ 300mA, SOT25 | Higher output tolerance and lower thermal performance (θJA = 184°C/W) | Prefer when footprint compatibility with SOT23-5 is mandatory and 47°C/W θJC is not required. |
Compared with MCP1700T-1802E/MB and XC6219B182MR-G, the AP2112R5A-1.8TRG1 uniquely combines 600mA capability, 60Ω auto-discharge, and 47°C/W thermal resistance in the R5A variant-enabling robust, sequenced power delivery in thermally constrained portable designs where both current capacity and controlled shutdown matter.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2112R5A-1.8TRG1 to maintain regulation at 600mA?
The datasheet specifies a recommended minimum input voltage of 2.8V for the 1.8V version. At 600mA load, the 250mV typical dropout voltage means VIN must be ≥2.05V theoretically-but Diodes guarantees regulation only down to 2.8V to ensure stability, PSRR, and load regulation specs across temperature and process variation.
Does AP2112R5A-1.8TRG1 require an external pull-down resistor on the EN pin?
No. The EN pin includes an internal 3.0MΩ pull-down resistor, ensuring reliable disable state when left unconnected. External pull-down is unnecessary unless faster turn-off timing or noise immunity in high-EMI environments is required-then a 100kΩ resistor may be added.
Can AP2112R5A-1.8TRG1 be used with a 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor instead of 1.0µF?
Yes. The device is stable with 1.0µF to 10µF ceramic capacitors (X5R/X7R dielectric recommended). A 2.2µF capacitor improves load transient response and reduces output ripple further but does not affect minimum stability requirements.
Is the NC pin (Pin 5) in the SOT89-5 (R5A) package internally connected or floating?
Pin 5 is explicitly designated "NC" (No Connection) in the datasheet pin description table and functional block diagram. It is electrically isolated from all internal circuits and must remain unconnected on the PCB to avoid unintended coupling or thermal stress.
