Product details
Overview
AP2129K-1.0TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a 300mA, fixed-output 1.0V CMOS low-dropout (LDO) regulator in SOT-23-5 package. It delivers ±2% output voltage accuracy, 60µVrms output noise, and 800mV dropout at 300mA load. Designed for battery-powered systems requiring stable, ultra-low-noise supply rails, it powers core logic in portable computing and embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the AP2129K-1.0TRG1 datasheet, AP2129K-1.0TRG1 pinout, AP2129K-1.0TRG1 application, or AP2129K-1.0TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 300mA, standby current under shutdown, PSRR at 1kHz/10kHz, thermal shutdown threshold, and compatibility with 1µF ceramic input/output capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP2129K-1.0TRG1 integrates a precision bandgap reference, error amplifier, and PMOS pass transistor in a single-stage LDO architecture. Its active-high shutdown pin enables fast enable/disable control with 0.1µA standby current, while internal foldback current limiting and thermal shutdown at +165°C ensure robust fault protection.
It operates across 1.8V–6V input range and maintains regulation down to 1.0V output with only 800mV headroom at full 300mA load. The 50µs soft-start prevents inrush current, and the 60Ω internal VOUT discharge MOSFET ensures rapid output discharge during shutdown.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.0V ±2% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures stable core supply for 1.0V logic domains |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous - supports microcontroller cores, sensor interfaces, and low-power peripherals |
| Dropout Voltage | 800mV at 300mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) or two-cell alkaline (2.4V min) |
| PSRR | 65dB @ 1kHz, 45dB @ 10kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters |
| Output Noise | 60µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) - preserves signal integrity in ADC references and RF bias rails |
| Quiescent Current | 60µA typical - extends battery life in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA - enables deep-sleep modes in IoT edge nodes |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package: 2.9mm × 2.8mm × 1.3mm body, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, green finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Shutdown | Active-high enable input; 1.5–6V logic high enables regulator; 0–0.4V disables with 60Ω VOUT discharge path |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference for all internal circuitry and feedback loop |
| 3 | VIN | Main input supply (1.8–6V); requires 1µF ceramic capacitor for stability |
| 4 | VOUT | Regulated 1.0V output; supports 1µF ceramic output capacitor; includes internal 60Ω discharge FET |
| 5 | ADJ/NC | No connection for fixed-output version; not internally connected - must be left floating or grounded per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low noise output | 60µVrms enables clean power for precision analog and RF subsystems without external filtering |
| Low dropout at full load | 800mV dropout at 300mA allows efficient use of marginal input voltages in space-constrained designs |
| Fast soft-start | 50µs ramp time prevents overshoot and reduces stress on downstream capacitive loads |
| Integrated VOUT discharge | 60Ω internal MOSFET discharges output within milliseconds after shutdown - eliminates hold-up voltage issues |
| High PSRR up to 10kHz | 65dB @ 1kHz and 45dB @ 10kHz suppresses noise from buck converter switching frequencies and harmonics |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1002E/MB | 250mA max output, 1.0V fixed, 6µA quiescent current, no shutdown pin | Lacks active shutdown and VOUT discharge; lower current rating limits use in higher-power peripherals | Select when ultra-low IQ dominates over shutdown control and 300mA capability |
| Torex XC6206P102MR-G | 300mA max, 1.0V fixed, 1.0µA standby, no thermal shutdown, 1.2V min input | Higher minimum input voltage (1.2V vs. 1.8V) and no thermal protection reduce margin in wide-temp industrial use | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer applications where thermal derating is not required |
Compared with MCP1700T-1002E/MB and XC6206P102MR-G, the AP2129K-1.0TRG1 uniquely combines 300mA drive, active shutdown with VOUT discharge, ±2% accuracy, and thermal protection - making it optimal for industrial and medical applications demanding reliability and feature completeness.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2129K-1.0TRG1 to regulate at 1.0V?
The AP2129K-1.0TRG1 requires a minimum input voltage of 1.8V to maintain regulation at 1.0V output. At 300mA load, its 800mV dropout means VIN must be ≥1.8V; below this, output drops linearly with input. This is specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table (VIN Min = 1.8V).
Can AP2129K-1.0TRG1 be used with ceramic capacitors smaller than 1µF?
No - the device is optimized for 1µF ceramic input and output capacitors, as confirmed in the datasheet's "Compatible with Low ESR Ceramic Capacitor" feature and Typical Applications Circuit. Using smaller values risks instability, poor PSRR, or startup failure due to insufficient phase margin.
Does the ADJ/NC pin on the SOT-23-5 package require termination?
Pin 5 (ADJ/NC) is unconnected internally for the fixed 1.0V version and must be left floating. Grounding or connecting it to any potential violates the pin description and may cause undefined behavior; the datasheet explicitly states it is "No Connection for Fixed Version."
How does the internal VOUT discharge function operate during shutdown?
When the Shutdown pin is driven low (≤0.4V), the internal 60Ω NMOS discharge FET connects VOUT to GND, actively pulling the output voltage to near-zero within ~100µs (calculated from τ = R×C with 1µF). This prevents residual voltage from interfering with downstream logic reset sequencing or causing latch-up.
