Product details
Overview
AP2132BMP-2.5TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a 2A, 2.5V fixed-output CMOS low-dropout (LDO) regulator in PSOP-8 package with thermal pad, featuring 300mV dropout at 2A, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and integrated power-good (PG) signal asserting at 92% of rated VOUT-designed for high-current core logic rails in portable computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the AP2132BMP-2.5TRG1 datasheet, AP2132BMP-2.5TRG1 pinout, AP2132BMP-2.5TRG1 application, or AP2132BMP-2.5TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance under 2A load, PG threshold tolerance, enable logic compatibility, thermal resistance (θJA = 53°C/W), and PSOP-8 thermal pad layout requirements.
Technical Context
The AP2132BMP-2.5TRG1 integrates a precision 0.8V reference, error amplifier, PMOS pass transistor, and current-limit/thermal shutdown protection. Its VCTRL pin accepts 4.5–5.5V to bias internal control circuitry independently of VIN, enabling stable regulation even when input drops near VOUT.
It delivers regulated 2.5V output with 10mV load regulation (10mA–2A) and 2mV line regulation (VOUT+0.5V ≤ VIN ≤ 5V). The PG signal transitions high only after VOUT stabilizes ≥2.3V (92% of 2.5V), with 7% hysteresis to prevent chatter during brown-out recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±2% (2.45V–2.55V at 25°C, 10mA load) |
| Max Output Current | 2A continuous; supports CPU/GPU core rail peak loads without thermal derating on 2-layer PCB |
| Dropout Voltage | 300mV @ 2A, 2.5V output - enables operation from 2.8V input (e.g., single-cell Li-ion + LDO margin) |
| Power Good Threshold | 92% of VOUT (2.3V) with 7% hysteresis - provides clean reset signaling for SoC boot sequencing |
| Supply Current | 300µA typical at no load - minimizes quiescent loss in always-on subsystems |
| PSRR | 60dB @ 100Hz/1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 53°C/W (2-layer FR-4, 1cm² thermal pad) - requires copper pour under exposed pad for full 2A rating |
Pinout & Package
AP2132BMP-2.5TRG1 uses a PSOP-8 package with exposed thermal pad (pin 5 NC, pin 8 GND). The thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance and electrical stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (PG) | Power Good open-drain output | Asserts high when VOUT ≥ 2.3V; pulls low during undervoltage or shutdown - connects to SoC RESET_N with pull-up |
| 2 (EN) | Enable input | Active-high logic: ≥1.2V enables regulator; ≤0.4V disables - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO |
| 3 (VIN) | Main input supply | Accepts 1.4V–5.5V; supplies pass transistor and internal bias - decoupled with 10µF ceramic |
| 4 (VCTRL) | Control voltage input | 4.5V–5.5V dedicated bias rail for internal circuitry - isolates regulation stability from VIN ripple |
| 5 (NC) | No connect | Not internally bonded - must remain unconnected per datasheet |
| 6 (VOUT) | Regulated output | 2.5V ±2% source for core logic; requires 10µF output capacitance for stability |
| 7 (ADJ) | Adjust/ground select | Internally tied to GND for fixed 2.5V mode - leave floating or grounded; do not route external resistors |
| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for VIN, VCTRL, VOUT, and thermal pad - low-impedance plane required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout at full load | 300mV @ 2A ensures usable headroom from 2.8V input sources like buck-boost converters |
| Independent VCTRL biasing | Separate 4.5–5.5V control rail prevents VIN transients from disrupting regulation accuracy |
| Integrated overcurrent & thermal protection | Current limit ≥3A and thermal shutdown at +165°C prevent damage during short-circuit or overload |
| Precision power-good signaling | 92% VOUT threshold with 7% hysteresis eliminates false resets during dynamic load steps |
| High PSRR at low frequency | 60dB rejection at 100Hz/1kHz suppresses noise from adjacent switching regulators |
Applications
| Notebook Core Voltage Rail | Embedded Controller Power |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A4700RGWR | 2A, 2.5V fixed, 250mV dropout @ 2A, but requires minimum 2.7V VIN and lacks VCTRL pin | No independent VCTRL rail - less immune to VIN ripple; higher minimum input limits use with Li-ion sources | Select if lowest possible dropout is critical and input never falls below 2.7V; avoid if using 2.8V intermediate rails |
| MCP1826-2502E/DB | 2A, 2.5V fixed, 400mV dropout @ 2A, no PG output, θJA = 62°C/W in SOT-223 | Lacks power-good signaling and has higher thermal resistance - unsuitable for dense PCB layouts or high ambient temps | Choose only for cost-sensitive designs where PG is unused and thermal margin exceeds 15°C |
Compared with TPS7A4700RGWR and MCP1826-2502E/DB, AP2132BMP-2.5TRG1 uniquely combines 2.8V minimum input capability, VCTRL isolation, and factory-trimmed PG threshold - making it optimal for portable systems with dynamic input sources and strict sequencing requirements.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2132BMP-2.5TRG1 to regulate 2.5V output at 2A?
The absolute minimum input voltage is 2.8V: 2.5V output plus 300mV dropout. Operation below this causes VOUT to droop proportionally. The device functions down to 1.4V input but cannot sustain 2.5V output below 2.8V at full load. Input decoupling with ≥10µF ceramic is mandatory for stability at 2A.
Can the ADJ pin be left unconnected in the fixed 2.5V version?
Yes - the ADJ pin is internally connected to GND for fixed-output versions like AP2132BMP-2.5TRG1. It may be left floating or tied to GND; external resistor networks must not be attached, as they will disrupt the factory-set output voltage and potentially cause instability.
How does the VCTRL pin affect regulator performance?
VCTRL supplies dedicated bias to internal circuitry (error amp, reference, PG comparator) at 4.5–5.5V. This isolates regulation accuracy and PG timing from VIN ripple or sag, ensuring consistent 2.5V output and clean 2.3V PG assertion even when VIN fluctuates - critical in noisy DC-DC-fed systems.
Is thermal pad connection mandatory for AP2132BMP-2.5TRG1?
Yes - the PSOP-8 thermal pad (exposed die attach pad) must be soldered to a PCB copper pour tied to GND. Without this, θJA degrades from 53°C/W to >80°C/W, causing thermal shutdown at <1.2A load. Minimum recommended pad size is 1.0cm × 1.0cm per datasheet.
