Product details
Overview
AP2127R-3.3TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a 300mA, 3.3V fixed-output CMOS low-dropout (LDO) regulator in SOT-89 package, featuring 170mV dropout at full load, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and 60μVRMS output noise. It delivers stable power to noise-sensitive analog circuitry in portable electronics with input range 2.5V–6V and thermal shutdown protection.
For engineers reviewing the AP2127R-3.3TRG1 datasheet, AP2127R-3.3TRG1 pinout, AP2127R-3.3TRG1 application, or AP2127R-3.3TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 300mA, PSRR performance at 1kHz/10kHz, soft-start time, standby current, and compatibility with 1μF ceramic input/output capacitors.
Technical Context
This LDO employs a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout and high PSRR. Its internal 0.8V reference feeds a precision error amplifier that regulates output via feedback from VOUT to GND, with no external resistor divider required for fixed versions.
The device integrates active shutdown control with 0.1μA standby current, auto-discharge MOSFET (60Ω RDS(ON)), over-temperature protection at +165°C, and short-circuit current limiting at 50mA - all operating within –40°C to +85°C ambient range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2% - ensures stable rail for 3.3V logic and analog ICs without trimming. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA - supports moderate-power microcontrollers, sensors, and RF front-ends. |
| Dropout Voltage | 170mV @ 300mA - enables operation down to VIN = 3.47V, extending battery life in single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline systems. |
| PSRR | 68dB @ 1kHz, 54dB @ 10kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Output Noise | 60μVRMS - meets low-noise requirements for ADC references, audio codecs, and PLL power supplies. |
| Quiescent Current | 60μA typical - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or wake-up circuits. |
| Soft-Start Time | 50μs - prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up, easing system-level sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-89 package with exposed thermal pad (connected to GND) for enhanced heat dissipation; θJA = 100°C/W enables higher continuous current vs. SOT-23 variants.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Tab) | Thermal Pad / GND | Internally connected to GND; must be soldered to PCB copper pour for thermal management and EMI reduction. |
| 2 | VIN | Main power input; accepts 2.5V–6V; requires 1μF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 3 | VOUT | Regulated 3.3V output; connects to load and 1μF ceramic output capacitor; supports auto-discharge via internal 60Ω MOSFET when shutdown asserted. |
| 4 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; ties to thermal pad and system ground plane with low-inductance path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise regulation | 60μVRMS output noise enables clean power for precision analog signal chains without additional filtering. |
| Ultra-low standby current | 0.1μA shutdown current allows multi-year battery operation in maintenance-free IoT sensor nodes. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatible | Stable with ≥1μF X5R/X7R MLCC on both input and output - eliminates need for costly tantalum or electrolytic capacitors. |
| Integrated auto-discharge | 60Ω RDS(ON) discharge path rapidly depletes VOUT capacitance after shutdown, preventing unintended wake-up or latch-up in downstream logic. |
| Robust protection suite | Combines thermal shutdown (+165°C), short-circuit current limit (50mA), and over-current clamping - reduces need for external protection components. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP2204K-3.3TRG1 | Higher 500mA output, 200mV dropout @ 500mA, same SOT-23-5 package; lacks auto-discharge MOSFET. | Better suited for higher-current loads but requires external discharge circuit if rapid VOUT decay is needed. | Select when >300mA load current is required and board space permits SOT-23-5 footprint. |
| MCP1700T-3302E/TT | 250mA max, 175mV dropout @ 250mA, 1.6μA quiescent current; SOT-23-3 package; no shutdown pin. | Ultra-low IQ ideal for energy-harvesting systems, but no enable/shutdown control or thermal protection. | Choose only for always-on, sub-100μA average current applications where shutdown functionality is unnecessary. |
Compared with AP2127R-3.3TRG1, AP2204K-3.3TRG1 trades auto-discharge and lower dropout for higher current capability, while MCP1700T-3302E/TT sacrifices protection features and controllability to achieve nanowatt-level standby - making AP2127R-3.3TRG1 optimal for balanced performance in battery-powered industrial and computing applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2127R-3.3TRG1 to maintain regulation at 300mA?
The minimum input voltage is 3.47V, calculated as VOUT + VDROP = 3.3V + 0.17V. Below this, the device enters dropout mode and output voltage drops linearly with input. The absolute minimum specified VIN is 2.5V, but regulation is not guaranteed below 3.47V under full load.
Can AP2127R-3.3TRG1 operate with a 1μF ceramic output capacitor across the full –40°C to +85°C range?
Yes - the datasheet explicitly states stability with ≥1μF X5R or X7R MLCC output capacitors across the full operating temperature range. No ESR requirements or additional compensation components are needed, simplifying design and reducing BOM count.
Does AP2127R-3.3TRG1 require an external pull-up or pull-down on the Shutdown pin?
No - the Shutdown pin has an internal 3MΩ pull-down resistor. When left floating, it defaults to logic low (shutdown state). To enable the regulator, apply ≥1.5V to the Shutdown pin; to disable, drive it ≤0.5V or leave unconnected.
How does the auto-discharge function behave during shutdown, and what is its impact on system power sequencing?
When the Shutdown pin is asserted low, the internal 60Ω MOSFET connects VOUT to GND, discharging output capacitance with τ ≈ 60Ω × COUT. With 1μF COUT, VOUT falls to <10% in ~140μs - enabling precise power-down timing and preventing back-powering of upstream circuitry during controlled system reset sequences.
