Product details
Overview
AP2127N-3.3TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a 300mA, 3.3V fixed-output CMOS low-dropout (LDO) regulator in SOT-23 package, featuring 170mV dropout at full load, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and 60μVRMS output noise. It delivers stable power to noise-sensitive analog circuits and microcontrollers in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the AP2127N-3.3TRG1 datasheet, AP2127N-3.3TRG1 pinout, AP2127N-3.3TRG1 application, or AP2127N-3.3TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 300mA, 68dB PSRR at 1kHz, 0.1μA shutdown current, compatibility with 1μF ceramic capacitors, and thermal protection for battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
The AP2127N-3.3TRG1 uses a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout (170mV @ 300mA) and near-zero quiescent current in shutdown mode (0.1μA). Its internal 0.8V reference and precision trimming ensure ±2% output accuracy across -40°C to +85°C.
It integrates soft-start (50μs), over-temperature shutdown (+165°C), short-circuit current limiting (50mA), and an auto-discharge MOSFET (RDS(ON) = 60Ω) tied to the SHUTDOWN pin-enabling rapid VOUT discharge during disable.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2% - ensures reliable logic-level supply for 3.3V microcontrollers and interfaces without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous - supports moderate-power peripherals like sensors, RF modules, and small displays. |
| Dropout Voltage | 170mV @ 300mA - enables operation from 3.47V input, ideal for single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) or 5V rail post-regulation. |
| PSRR | 68dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding sensitive analog signal chains. |
| Output Noise | 60μVRMS - meets low-noise requirements for ADC references, audio codecs, and precision op-amp supplies. |
| Quiescent Current | 60μA typical - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications such as IoT endpoints and wearables. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1μA - enables deep-sleep modes with minimal leakage, critical for multi-year battery operation. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 package (3-pin, surface-mount) with 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint and exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected in this variant); optimized for compact PCB layouts and low thermal resistance (θJA = 180°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 3) | Power Input | Accepts 2.5V–6V input; requires local 1μF ceramic decoupling to suppress high-frequency noise and ensure stability. |
| VOUT (Pin 2) | Regulated Output | Delivers fixed 3.3V; connects directly to load; must be bypassed with ≥1μF X7R/X5R MLCC placed adjacent to pin. |
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground Reference | Common return path for input/output capacitors and load; requires low-impedance PCB plane connection for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise regulation | 60μVRMS output noise enables clean power for ADCs, PLLs, and RF receivers without additional filtering. |
| Ultra-low shutdown current | 0.1μA standby draw allows integration into energy-harvesting and coin-cell-powered systems with multi-year shelf life. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatibility | Stable with ≥1μF X7R/X5R MLCC on both input and output-eliminates need for costly tantalum or electrolytic capacitors. |
| Integrated auto-discharge | 60Ω internal MOSFET discharges output capacitance rapidly upon shutdown-prevents residual voltage from interfering with system reset sequencing. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | +165°C junction shutdown with +30°C hysteresis and 50mA short-limit prevent damage during fault conditions without external circuitry. |

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 | 250mA max output, 175mV dropout @ 250mA, 65dB PSRR @ 1kHz, no auto-discharge MOSFET | Lacks integrated VOUT discharge; requires external resistor for fast discharge in reset-critical designs | Preferred when cost sensitivity outweighs need for auto-discharge and higher current capability is unnecessary |
| TPS7A2033PDQNR | 300mA, 130mV dropout @ 300mA, 40μVRMS noise, 85dB PSRR @ 100kHz, 1.5μA quiescent current | Higher PSRR bandwidth and lower noise but 15× higher quiescent current in active mode | Selected when ultra-low noise and high-frequency ripple rejection are prioritized over battery runtime |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2127N-3.3TRG1 to maintain regulation?
The AP2127N-3.3TRG1 requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROP. With a typical dropout of 170mV at 300mA, the minimum functional input is 3.47V. At lighter loads (e.g., 10mA), dropout drops to ~60mV, allowing operation down to 3.36V. Absolute minimum VIN per datasheet is 2.5V, but regulation is not guaranteed below VOUT + VDROP.
Can AP2127N-3.3TRG1 be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 1μF?
No-Diodes specifies ≥1μF X7R or X5R MLCC for stability across temperature and load. Using smaller values risks oscillation or degraded transient response. The device is not characterized for stability with sub-1μF ceramics, and layout parasitics further reduce effective capacitance at high frequencies.
Does the SHUTDOWN pin require a pull-up resistor to operate correctly?
Yes-the SHUTDOWN pin is active-low and internally pulled down. To enable normal operation, it must be held high (≥1.5V) via external pull-up to VIN or a logic rail. Leaving it floating may cause erratic enable/disable behavior due to noise coupling; a 100kΩ pull-up to VIN is recommended for robustness.
How does the auto-discharge function behave during shutdown?
When SHUTDOWN is pulled low, the internal 60Ω MOSFET connects VOUT to GND, discharging output capacitance with τ ≈ R × C. For a typical 10μF output cap, discharge time to 10% residual voltage is ~1.4ms. This prevents back-powering of upstream circuitry and ensures deterministic reset timing in microcontroller-based systems.
