Product details
Overview
AP2112R5A-2.6TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 2.6V, 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 stable power delivery in portable LCD displays and embedded microcontroller core rails.
For engineers reviewing the AP2112R5A-2.6TRG1 datasheet, AP2112R5A-2.6TRG1 pinout, AP2112R5A-2.6TRG1 application, or AP2112R5A-2.6TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 600mA load capability, SOT89-5 (R5A) package thermal resistance of 47°C/W, fast transient response under line/load steps, and integrated 60Ω VOUT discharge path during shutdown.
Technical Context
The AP2112R5A-2.6TRG1 implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with internal voltage reference, error amplifier, and PMOS pass transistor, enabling ultra-low quiescent current (55µA typ.) and sub-1µA standby draw. Its feedback loop is optimized for stability with 1.0µF ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic output capacitors.
Enable logic operates with VIH ≥1.5V and VIL ≤0.4V, triggering internal shutdown that activates a dedicated 60Ω discharge path between VOUT and GND. Thermal shutdown engages at +160°C with +25°C hysteresis, and foldback current limiting limits short-circuit current to 50mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.6V ±1.5% - ensures precise core voltage for 2.5–2.7V logic domains without external resistive feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 600mA minimum - supports sustained operation for mid-power SoCs and display drivers without derating. |
| Dropout Voltage | 250mV typical @600mA - enables regulation from 2.85V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V rail post-regulation. |
| PSRR | −65dB @100Hz/1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Output Noise | 50µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) - minimizes jitter in analog sensor interfaces and RF subsystems powered from this rail. |
| Quiescent Current | 55µA typical - extends battery life in always-on monitoring circuits where low IQ directly impacts runtime. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems including automotive infotainment displays. |
Pinout & Package
SOT89-5 (R5A) package: 5-pin thermally enhanced plastic surface-mount outline with exposed thermal pad (pin 4 = GND), footprint compatible with JEDEC TO-243AA. Thermal resistance θJA = 120°C/W, θJC = 47°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOUT | Regulated 2.6V output - connects to load; requires ≥1.0µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
| 2 | VIN | Input supply (2.5–6.0V) - must be filtered; reverse-voltage protected up to −0.3V. |
| 3 | NC | No connection - electrically isolated; no PCB trace or solder required. |
| 4 | GND | Power ground - ties to thermal pad; primary return path for load and internal circuitry. |
| 5 | EN | Active-high enable - drives high (>1.5V) to activate regulator; pulled down internally via 3MΩ resistor when floating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-discharge on disable | 60Ω internal VOUT-to-GND switch - prevents residual voltage hold-up on downstream circuits during sleep mode. |
| Stable with 1.0µF output cap | Compatible with X5R/X7R ceramic, tantalum, and aluminum electrolytic - reduces BOM count and board area vs. legacy LDOs requiring ≥10µF. |
| Foldback short-circuit protection | 50mA current limit - limits power dissipation during output shorts, preventing thermal runaway in unattended systems. |
| Low-noise regulation | 50µVRMS broadband noise - avoids signal integrity degradation in ADC reference supplies and audio codec bias rails. |
| High PSRR at low frequency | −65dB @100Hz - rejects ripple from buck converter switching edges before they couple into sensitive analog sections. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1703T-2602E/MB | 2.6V fixed, 250mA max, 6µA IQ, SOT23-5 - lower current, lower IQ, no auto-discharge. | Best for ultra-low-power sensor nodes where 250mA suffices and discharge is handled externally. | Select when minimizing sleep current outweighs need for 600mA drive or integrated discharge. |
| Torex XC6210B262MR-G | 2.6V fixed, 600mA, 15µA IQ, SOT25 - same current rating but higher PSRR (−70dB), no discharge resistor. | Suitable for noise-sensitive RF modules where PSRR > −65dB is mandatory and discharge is optional. | Choose when superior ripple rejection is prioritized over shutdown-state VOUT bleed capability. |
Compared with MCP1703T-2602E/MB and XC6210B262MR-G, the AP2112R5A-2.6TRG1 uniquely balances 600mA drive, 55µA operating current, and integrated 60Ω discharge-making it optimal for portable displays requiring both performance and controlled power-down sequencing.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2112R5A-2.6TRG1 to maintain regulation at 600mA?
The device requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROP = 2.6V + 0.25V = 2.85V minimum under full-load conditions. At lighter loads (e.g., 10mA), dropout drops to 5–8mV, allowing operation down to 2.605V. Input must remain within the absolute maximum 6.5V rating and recommended 2.5–6.0V range.
Does AP2112R5A-2.6TRG1 require an external pull-up on the EN pin?
No. The EN pin features an internal 3MΩ pull-down resistor, ensuring default shutdown when left floating. A logic-high signal ≥1.5V is required to enable regulation; no external pull-up is needed unless driving EN from an open-drain source or requiring faster rise time in noisy environments.
Can AP2112R5A-2.6TRG1 be used with aluminum electrolytic output capacitors?
Yes. The datasheet explicitly confirms stability with 1.0µF aluminum electrolytic, tantalum, and ceramic (X5R/X7R) capacitors. ESR range compatibility is broad (0.01–3Ω), eliminating need for ESR-tuning networks common in older LDO designs.
How does the auto-discharge function behave during enable transitions?
When EN transitions from high to low, the internal 60Ω discharge path activates within 20µs (typical start-up time), pulling VOUT to GND. When EN returns high, discharge disconnects and regulation resumes after the same 20µs startup delay-no external circuitry is needed for controlled power-down sequencing.
