Product details
Overview
AP2115R5A-3.3TRG1 from BCD Semiconductor is a 3.3V fixed-output, 1A CMOS low-dropout linear regulator in SOT-89-5 package with enable control, ±1.5% output accuracy, 450mV typical dropout at 1A, and 30µVRMS output noise-designed for stable power delivery in LCD monitor and STB mainboard applications.
For engineers reviewing the AP2115R5A-3.3TRG1 datasheet, AP2115R5A-3.3TRG1 pinout, AP2115R5A-3.3TRG1 application, or AP2115R5A-3.3TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 1A load capability under 4.3–6.0V input, thermal shutdown (160°C), fold-back short-circuit protection (50mA), and compatibility with ceramic/tantalum/aluminum electrolytic output capacitors ≥4.7µF.
Technical Context
The AP2115R5A-3.3TRG1 implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with internal PMOS pass transistor, enabling low quiescent current (65–90µA) and high PSRR (65dB @ 1kHz). Its enable logic (VIH ≥1.5V, VIL ≤0.4V) supports system-level power sequencing and standby mode with 0.01–1.0µA shutdown current.
It features integrated over-temperature shutdown (160°C trip, 25°C hysteresis), output discharge resistor (60Ω when EN=low), and EN pull-down resistor (3.0MΩ), ensuring safe startup, controlled turn-off, and robust fault handling without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1.5% - ensures stable core/supply rail for 3.3V logic and interface ICs without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous - supports single-rail powering of SoC subsystems, display drivers, or memory interfaces. |
| Dropout Voltage | 450mV typ. @ IOUT=1A - enables operation from 4.3V input (e.g., 5V rail minus diode drop) while maintaining regulation. |
| Output Noise | 30µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) - minimizes voltage ripple on noise-sensitive analog/RF sections powered from this rail. |
| PSRR | 65dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Quiescent Current | 65–90µA @ VIN=4.3V - maintains ultra-low static power in always-on system blocks like remote control receivers. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C with 25°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-89-5 package: 5-pin surface-mount device with exposed thermal pad (pin 2 connected to GND internally); footprint optimized for thermal dissipation in space-constrained consumer electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOUT | Regulated 3.3V output - connects directly to load; requires ≥4.7µF capacitor (ceramic/tantalum/Al-elec) for stability. |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference - must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane; ties to thermal pad. |
| 3 | NC / EN | No-connect or enable input - in R5A variant, pin 3 is EN (active-high); tie to VIN or MCU GPIO for on/off control. |
| 4 | VIN | Input supply (4.3–6.0V) - requires local 4.7µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed near pin. |
| 5 | EN / NC | Enable input (active-high) - drives internal regulator; logic high (≥1.5V) enables output, low (≤0.4V) disables with 60Ω discharge path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Stable with flexible output capacitance | Works with 4.7µF ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic - eliminates need for specific capacitor chemistry. |
| Fold-back short-circuit protection | Limits output current to 50mA during hard short - prevents thermal runaway and enables safe auto-recovery. |
| Low-noise regulation | 30µVRMS output noise - avoids interference in audio codecs, ADC references, or RF front-end bias rails. |
| Fast start-up time | 20µs typical - meets timing requirements for power-sequenced systems where LDO activation must align with clock/domain enable. |
| Robust ESD immunity | 4000V HBM / 400V MM - withstands handling and board assembly stress without latch-up or parametric shift. |
Applications
| LCD Monitor Power Rail | Set-Top Box Mainboard |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP2112K-3.3TRG1 | SOIC-8 package, 600mA max output, lower thermal resistance (74.6°C/W vs. 47°C/W) | Better suited for lower-power, board-space-flexible designs with higher PCB copper area for heat spreading | Select when board layout allows SOIC-8 and peak load stays below 600mA; avoid for 1A continuous loads in SOT-89-5 footprint. |
| MCP1700T-3302E/TT | 250mA output, 6µA quiescent current, SOT-23-3 package | Targeted at ultra-low-power always-on sensors or RTC backup rails-not suitable for 1A loads | Choose only for sub-300mA applications requiring nanoamp IQ; not a functional replacement for AP2115R5A-3.3TRG1's 1A capability. |
Compared with AP2115R5A-3.3TRG1, AP2112K-3.3TRG1 trades current capacity for package flexibility and thermal performance, while MCP1700T-3302E/TT offers extreme low-IQ but cannot support >250mA loads-making neither a drop-in substitute for 1A, SOT-89-5, low-noise applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2115R5A-3.3TRG1 to maintain regulation at 1A load?
The recommended minimum input voltage is 4.3V, based on the 450mV typical dropout voltage at 1A load. At 4.3V input, the regulator sustains 3.3V output under full load; operation below 4.3V risks dropout and unregulated output. Absolute minimum input is 2.5V per datasheet, but that applies only to lower output voltages (e.g., 1.2V version).
Can AP2115R5A-3.3TRG1 operate with a 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor?
No-datasheet specifies stable operation requires ≥4.7µF output capacitance (ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic). Using 2.2µF may cause oscillation or poor transient response due to insufficient phase margin; 4.7µF is the validated minimum for all specified load and line conditions.
Does the EN pin require an external pull-up resistor?
No-internal 3.0MΩ pull-down resistor ensures default disable state when EN is left floating. An external pull-up is optional and only needed if active-high enable must be asserted by default at power-on; otherwise, drive EN directly from a GPIO or open-drain controller output.
Is AP2115R5A-3.3TRG1 qualified for automotive applications?
No-it is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and lacks AEC-Q100 qualification, automotive-grade screening, or extended reliability testing. It is intended for consumer and industrial equipment; automotive designs require explicitly qualified alternatives such as TPS7B67xx or NCP1117AUT33G.
