Product details
Overview
AP2114H-1.8TRG1 from BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited is a fixed-output 1.8 V, 1 A CMOS low-dropout linear regulator with enable control, ±1.5% output accuracy, 450 mV typical dropout at 1 A, and 30 μVRMS output noise - deployed in LCD monitor power rails for stable core voltage supply under dynamic load.
For engineers reviewing the AP2114H-1.8TRG1 datasheet, AP2114H-1.8TRG1 pinout, AP2114H-1.8TRG1 application, or AP2114H-1.8TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at full load, PSRR at 1 kHz, thermal shutdown threshold, EN logic compatibility, and SOT-223 package thermal resistance (θJA = 128 °C/W).
Technical Context
The AP2114H-1.8TRG1 uses a CMOS pass transistor architecture with internal bandgap reference and foldback current limiting, enabling stable regulation down to 2.8 V input while delivering up to 1 A continuous output. Its enable pin supports TTL-compatible logic control (VIH = 1.5 V, VIL = 0.4 V) and integrates a 3 MΩ pull-down resistor.
It features integrated thermal shutdown (160 °C trip, 25 °C hysteresis), overcurrent protection (50 mA short-circuit limit), and output discharge via 60 Ω internal resistor when disabled. The device maintains ±30 ppm/°C output voltage temperature coefficient across –40°C to +85°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±1.5% - ensures compliant core voltage for 1.8 V logic ICs without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 1.0 A continuous - supports high-current digital subsystems such as display timing controllers. |
| Dropout Voltage | 450 mV typ @ 1 A - enables operation from 2.8 V input, critical for battery-backed or multi-rail systems. |
| PSRR | 68 dB @ 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Output Noise | 30 μVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - minimizes jitter in analog-sensitive circuits like video DACs or clock buffers. |
| Quiescent Current | 60 μA - enables ultra-low standby power in always-on display subsystems. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160 °C junction trip with 25 °C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during transient overload or poor heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
AP2114H-1.8TRG1 is packaged in SOT-223 (H variant), a thermally enhanced surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad on the backside. Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = VIN, Pin 3 = VOUT.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Power ground reference and thermal path - must be connected to large copper pour for θJA = 128 °C/W performance. |
| 2 | VIN | Input supply pin - requires ≥2.8 V minimum; accepts up to 6.0 V max per absolute rating. |
| 3 | VOUT | Regulated 1.8 V output - stable with 4.7 μF ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic capacitors. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise regulation | 30 μVRMS output noise enables clean power for video signal chains and ADC references. |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | TTL-compatible EN pin (VIH = 1.5 V) reduces quiescent current to ≤1.0 μA - ideal for system-level power sequencing. |
| Foldback current limiting | 50 mA short-circuit current protects both device and load during fault conditions without thermal runaway. |
| Stable with flexible output capacitance | Works with 4.7 μF ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic - simplifies BOM and layout across product generations. |
| Robust ESD protection | 4000 V HBM / 400 V MM - meets industrial handling requirements without external protection diodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1703T-1802E/MB | 1.8 V, 250 mA max, 600 mV dropout @ 250 mA, 35 μVRMS noise, SOT-23 package | Lower current capacity limits use to low-power peripherals only - not suitable for TCON or SoC I/O domains. | Select only for space-constrained, sub-300 mA loads where thermal performance is secondary. |
| TPS7A2018PDBVR | 1.8 V, 300 mA, 170 mV dropout @ 300 mA, 7 μVRMS noise, 1.4 μA IQ, SOT-23-5 | Ultra-low noise and IQ benefit battery-powered devices but lacks 1 A capability and thermal robustness for display power rails. | Prefer for portable displays or sensor nodes; avoid for mains-powered LCD monitors requiring >500 mA sustained current. |
Compared with MCP1703T-1802E/MB and TPS7A2018PDBVR, AP2114H-1.8TRG1 uniquely balances 1 A delivery, 450 mV dropout, and industrial-grade thermal protection in SOT-223 - making it the only viable choice for cost-sensitive, high-current display power applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2114H-1.8TRG1 to maintain regulation at 1 A?
The minimum input voltage is 2.8 V, derived from the 1.8 V output plus 450 mV typical dropout voltage at 1 A load. Operation below this causes dropout and unregulated output. Absolute maximum input is 6.0 V per datasheet ratings.
Can AP2114H-1.8TRG1 be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 4.7 μF?
No - the datasheet specifies stability only with ≥4.7 μF ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Smaller values risk oscillation due to insufficient phase margin; ESR requirements are not specified, so low-ESR ceramics are acceptable if capacitance meets minimum.
Does the EN pin require an external pull-up resistor?
No - the EN pin has an internal 3.0 MΩ pull-down resistor. A logic-high signal ≥1.5 V (VIH) enables regulation; no external pull-up is needed unless system-level noise immunity requires stronger drive or faster rise/fall times.
How does the VOUT discharge function operate when EN is pulled low?
When EN is driven low, an internal 60 Ω resistor connects VOUT to GND, discharging output capacitance rapidly. This prevents floating voltages and ensures safe power-down sequencing in multi-rail systems - discharge time depends on COUT value (e.g., ~280 μs for 4.7 μF).
