Product details
Overview
AP2114HA-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. It delivers stable power to core logic rails in LCD monitors and STB mainboards where low-noise, high-accuracy regulation is required.
For engineers reviewing the AP2114HA-1.8TRG1 datasheet, AP2114HA-1.8TRG1 pinout, AP2114HA-1.8TRG1 application, or AP2114HA-1.8TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 1 A load capability, thermal shutdown (160°C), fold-back short-circuit protection (50 mA), EN pin logic thresholds (VIH = 1.5 V, VIL = 0.4 V), and compatibility with 4.7 μF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP2114HA-1.8TRG1 implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with internal voltage reference, error amplifier, and PMOS pass transistor. Its enable input controls an integrated shutdown logic block that reduces standby current to ≤1.0 μA while activating VOUT discharge via a 60 Ω internal resistor.
It features fold-back current limiting (50 mA short-circuit current), thermal shutdown with 25°C hysteresis, and PSRR of 68 dB at 1 kHz. The regulator maintains ±1.5% output accuracy over –40°C to +85°C ambient and supports input voltages from 2.8 V to 6.0 V for 1.8 V output operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±1.5% - ensures stable core supply for 1.8 V I/O or logic domains without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 1.0 A continuous - supports high-current digital loads such as SoC I/O banks or display interface circuitry. |
| Dropout Voltage | 450 mV typ @ 1 A - enables operation from 2.8 V input, minimizing power loss in battery- or intermediate-rail systems. |
| Output Noise | 30 μVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - low enough for noise-sensitive analog/RF sections powered from same rail. |
| PSRR | 68 dB @ 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Quiescent Current | 60 μA typ - enables ultra-low-power standby modes in always-on consumer electronics. |
| Enable Thresholds | VIH = 1.5 V, VIL = 0.4 V - compatible with standard 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIO logic without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C with 25°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in compact enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
AP2114HA-1.8TRG1 uses the SOT-223 (HA variant) package - a thermally enhanced surface-mount outline with exposed thermal pad (pin 2 = VIN, pin 3 = VOUT, pin 1 = GND). Pin 4 is not present; HA denotes fixed-output configuration with no ADJ pin.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Power ground reference and primary thermal path; must be connected to large PCB copper area for thermal management. |
| 2 | VIN | Main input supply (2.8–6.0 V); requires local 4.7 μF ceramic decoupling close to pin. |
| 3 | VOUT | Regulated 1.8 V output; connects directly to load and 4.7 μF ceramic output capacitor. |
| 4 | EN | Active-high enable input; drives regulator ON when ≥1.5 V, OFF when ≤0.4 V; internal 3 MΩ pull-down. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Stable with 4.7 μF ceramic cap | Eliminates need for tantalum or electrolytic capacitors - reduces board space, cost, and aging-related failure risk. |
| VOUT discharge on disable | 60 Ω internal discharge path rapidly collapses output voltage during shutdown - prevents back-powering or latch-up in multi-rail systems. |
| Fold-back short-circuit protection | Limits fault current to 50 mA during output short - avoids thermal runaway and enables safe auto-recovery after fault removal. |
| Low-noise 30 μVRMS output | Enables direct powering of ADC references, PLLs, or RF front-ends without additional filtering stages. |
| Wide input range (2.8–6.0 V) | Supports single-supply operation from Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), USB (5 V), or industrial 5 V rails without pre-regulation. |
| –40°C to +85°C operation | Validated across full industrial temperature range - suitable for STB, monitor, and set-top box deployments in uncontrolled environments. |
Applications
| LCD Monitor Power Rail | STB Mainboard Core Supply |

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-23-5 | Lower current capacity limits use to low-power MCU or sensor rails - unsuitable for 1 A loads like TCON or SoC I/O. | Select only if board space is critical and load < 250 mA; verify thermal derating in enclosed designs. |
| TPS7A2018PDBVR | 1.8 V, 300 mA, 170 mV dropout @ 300 mA, 7 μVRMS noise, WSON-6 | Ultra-low noise but insufficient current; lacks fold-back protection and thermal hysteresis. | Prefer for ultra-sensitive analog rails only; requires external current-limiting or thermal monitoring for >300 mA loads. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2114HA-1.8TRG1 to regulate 1.8 V at 1 A?
The datasheet specifies VIN ≥ 2.8 V for 1.8 V output operation at full 1 A load. At 2.8 V input, the typical dropout is 450 mV, leaving 2.35 V headroom - sufficient to maintain regulation. Below 2.8 V, output voltage drops linearly with input, entering dropout region.
Can AP2114HA-1.8TRG1 be used with aluminum electrolytic output capacitors?
Yes - the device is explicitly characterized for stability with 4.7 μF aluminum electrolytic, tantalum, and ceramic capacitors. However, aluminum types exhibit higher ESR and temperature drift; ceramic is preferred for lowest noise and smallest footprint.
Does AP2114HA-1.8TRG1 require an external pull-up on the EN pin?
No - it includes an internal 3.0 MΩ pull-down resistor on EN. A logic-high signal ≥1.5 V (e.g., from 1.8 V or 3.3 V GPIO) is sufficient to enable; no external pull-up is needed unless open-drain control is used.
How does the VOUT discharge function operate during shutdown?
When EN is pulled low, an internal 60 Ω switch connects VOUT to GND, discharging the output capacitor within milliseconds. This prevents back-powering of upstream circuits and ensures deterministic power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
