Product details
Overview
AP2122AK-3.3TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 3.3V low-dropout linear regulator IC in SOT-23-5 package, featuring 150mV typical dropout at 100mA, 30µVrms output noise (10Hz–100kHz), and ±2% output voltage accuracy over -40°C to +85°C. It delivers up to 150mA continuous output current with active-high enable control and supports ceramic capacitors as low as 1µF for stability-ideal for powering RF sections and precision analog circuitry in portable devices.
For engineers reviewing the AP2122AK-3.3TRG1 datasheet, AP2122AK-3.3TRG1 pinout, AP2122AK-3.3TRG1 application, or AP2122AK-3.3TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low noise performance, high PSRR (70dB @ 10kHz), tight load/line regulation (12mV/4mV typ), and guaranteed operation down to 2V input voltage with shutdown current of 0.1µA.
Technical Context
The AP2122AK-3.3TRG1 integrates a CMOS-based error amplifier, precision voltage reference, and internal resistor network to maintain stable 3.3V output across line, load, and temperature variations. Its architecture enables fast transient response and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors without external compensation.
It implements overcurrent protection (50mA short-circuit limit), thermal shutdown, and an integrated 5MΩ pull-down resistor on the CE pin-ensuring reliable power sequencing and zero-current disable state. The device operates within 2V to 6V input range and maintains regulation down to 3.45V input at full 150mA load (150mV dropout).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3V ±2% - ensures stable supply for 3.3V logic, ADC references, and RF front-ends without external trimming |
| Dropout Voltage | 150mV typ @ 100mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) or dual-cell alkaline sources |
| RMS Output Noise | 30µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - minimizes phase jitter in clock-sensitive circuits and noise coupling into analog signal paths |
| PSRR | 70dB @ 10kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input |
| Quiescent Current | 25µA typ - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and standby modes |
| Standby Current | 0.1µA typ - enables deep-sleep power management when CE = low |
| Load Regulation | 12mV typ (1mA–80mA) - maintains voltage stability during dynamic current draw in microcontroller peripherals |
| Line Regulation | 4mV typ (2.3V–6V input) - rejects input ripple and sag from shared power rails |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package: 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, gull-wing leads, JEDEC MO-178AC compliant, rated for -40°C to +85°C ambient operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 3.3V to load; requires ≥1µF ceramic capacitor for stability and low-noise filtering |
| 2 GND | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path for output current and internal bias; must be connected directly to PCB ground plane |
| 3 VIN | Input supply | Accepts 2V–6V unregulated input; minimum headroom 150mV required for regulation at 100mA |
| 4 CE | Enable control | Active-high logic input; internal 5MΩ pull-down ensures default OFF state; compatible with 1.5V logic high threshold |
| 5 NC | No connection | Unbonded pad; must remain floating-no routing or soldering permitted |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low noise output | 30µVrms enables clean power for RF transceivers, PLLs, and high-resolution ADCs without additional filtering |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3302E/TT | Higher dropout (280mV @ 250mA), lower PSRR (60dB @ 10kHz), no CE pin | Lacks enable control and has higher noise (45µVrms); suitable only for non-sequenced, low-transient apps | Select only if CE functionality and <30µVrms noise are not required |
| TPS7A2033PDBVR | Lower quiescent current (6.5µA), same 30µVrms noise, but 220mV dropout @ 300mA | Better for ultra-low-power always-on designs; less suitable for low-input-voltage battery operation | Prefer when standby current dominates system budget, not when input headroom is constrained |
Compared with MCP1700T-3302E/TT and TPS7A2033PDBVR, the AP2122AK-3.3TRG1 uniquely balances ultra-low noise, low dropout, and integrated enable with minimal external components-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-fed systems requiring both precision and power efficiency.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 150mA output?
The AP2122AK-3.3TRG1 requires VIN ≥ 3.45V to maintain 3.3V output at 150mA, based on its maximum dropout of 150mV under that load. Below this, output voltage drops linearly with input; operation below 2V input is prohibited per absolute maximum ratings.
Can the AP2122AK-3.3TRG1 be used with a 0.47µF output capacitor?
No. The datasheet specifies a minimum 1µF ceramic output capacitor for stability across all operating conditions. Using 0.47µF risks oscillation or poor transient response due to insufficient phase margin, especially with ESR < 100Ω.
Is the CE pin compatible with 1.8V logic-level microcontrollers?
Yes. The CE pin recognizes logic high at ≥1.5V, making it fully compatible with 1.8V GPIO outputs. Its internal 5MΩ pull-down ensures reliable disable state when left unconnected or driven low by open-drain logic.
Does the AP2122AK-3.3TRG1 include thermal shutdown protection?
Yes. The device incorporates thermal shutdown that activates at +150°C junction temperature, latching off until die temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold. This protects against sustained overload or inadequate PCB copper area in SOT-23-5 layout.
