Product details
Overview
AP2132MP-1.5TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a 2A, 1.5V 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 - deployed in notebook power rails for core voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the AP2132MP-1.5TRG1 datasheet, AP2132MP-1.5TRG1 pinout, AP2132MP-1.5TRG1 application, or AP2132MP-1.5TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at full load, PG threshold tolerance, enable logic compatibility, and thermal resistance (θJC = 40°C/W) under sustained 2A operation.
Technical Context
The AP2132MP-1.5TRG1 integrates a precision 0.6V reference, error amplifier, PMOS pass transistor, current-limit circuitry, thermal shutdown (165°C), and enable-controlled bias network. Its VCTRL pin accepts 4.5–5.5V to stabilize internal control circuitry independently of VIN.
It operates across 1.4V–5.5V input range with guaranteed 2A output at VOUT ≥ 1.5V, delivering 92% VOUT power-good assertion with 7% hysteresis and ±100 ppm/°C temperature coefficient - optimized for stable low-voltage rail generation where input-to-output margin is constrained.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5V ±2% (ensures compliance with 1.5V I/O or core supply tolerances) |
| Max Output Current | 2A continuous (supports high-current SoC or GPU auxiliary rails) |
| Dropout Voltage | 300mV @ 2A, VOUT=1.5V (enables operation from 1.8V input in battery-backed systems) |
| Power Good Threshold | 92% of VOUT with 7% hysteresis (provides clean, noise-immune reset signaling to host controller) |
| Supply Current | 300µA @ no load (minimizes quiescent loss in always-on subsystems) |
| Thermal Resistance θJC | 40°C/W (enables direct thermal pad coupling to PCB copper for 2A steady-state dissipation) |
| Enable Logic Threshold | VIH = 1.5V, VIL = 0.4V (compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting) |
Pinout & Package
AP2132MP-1.5TRG1 is housed in a thermally enhanced PSOP-8 package with exposed thermal pad (GND or open). The 8-pin layout supports compact layout with dedicated PG, EN, VCTRL, ADJ (grounded internally for fixed output), and NC pin.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (PG) | Power-Good Open-Drain Output | Asserts high when VOUT ≥ 92% of 1.5V; requires external pull-up for host interrupt or reset sequencing |
| 2 (EN) | Active-High Enable Input | Valid high at ≥1.5V; enables regulator only when VIN ≥ 1.4V and thermal limits are observed |
| 3 (VIN) | Main Input Supply | Accepts 1.4V–5.5V; powers pass transistor and internal bias circuits |
| 4 (VCTRL) | Control Voltage Input | Must be 4.5–5.5V; isolates control circuitry from noisy VIN, improving PSRR and stability |
| 5 (NC) | No Connect | Not bonded; must remain unconnected per design - no routing or stitching allowed |
| 6 (VOUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers 1.5V ±2% at up to 2A; requires 10µF ceramic output capacitor for stability |
| 7 (ADJ) | Internal Feedback Node | Internally grounded for fixed 1.5V output; not used externally - leave unconnected |
| 8 (GND) | Analog/Digital Ground | Primary ground return; thermal pad may be connected to GND plane for improved θJA |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Dropout at Full Load | 300mV @ 2A ensures usable headroom from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) or 1.8V system rails |
| Integrated Power-Good Signal | Dedicated PG pin with 92% threshold and 7% hysteresis eliminates need for external supervisor IC |
| VCTRL Pin Architecture | Separate 4.5–5.5V control rail decouples bias stability from noisy main input, enhancing PSRR >60dB @ 1kHz |
| Over-Temperature Protection | Thermal shutdown at +165°C with +20°C hysteresis prevents latch-up during transient overload or poor heatsinking |
| PSOP-8 with Thermal Pad | Exposed pad reduces junction-to-case thermal resistance to 40°C/W, enabling 2A operation without heatsink |
Applications
| Mobile Notebook Core Rail | Industrial PLC I/O Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP2202K-1.5TRG1 | 1A max output, SOT-23-5 package, no VCTRL pin, no PG output | Suitable for lower-current, cost-sensitive designs without sequencing or supervision needs | Select when 1A suffices and board space is extremely limited; lacks PG and thermal performance of AP2132 |
| Torex XC6210B152MR-G | 2A, 1.5V fixed, SOT-23-5, no VCTRL, no PG, higher dropout (450mV @ 2A) | Used in consumer wearables where PG and VCTRL are omitted to reduce cost and footprint | Choose if PSOP-8 thermal pad is unnecessary and 450mV dropout is acceptable in 1.8V input systems |
Compared with AP2202K-1.5TRG1 and XC6210B152MR-G, AP2132MP-1.5TRG1 uniquely delivers 2A output with integrated PG, VCTRL isolation, and 300mV dropout in PSOP-8 - making it the only option among the three qualified for thermally demanding, sequenced, or high-reliability 1.5V rail applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2132MP-1.5TRG1 to regulate 1.5V output at 2A?
The absolute minimum input voltage is 1.4V, but to sustain 2A output with 300mV dropout, VIN must be ≥1.8V. At VIN = 1.8V, the device maintains regulation with VOUT = 1.5V ±2% across -40°C to +85°C ambient, provided VCTRL is held at 4.5–5.5V and thermal pad is properly soldered.
Can the ADJ pin be left floating on the AP2132MP-1.5TRG1?
No - the ADJ pin is internally connected to ground for fixed 1.5V operation and must remain unconnected (not floated or tied externally). Floating ADJ risks undefined feedback behavior and potential regulation failure; the datasheet explicitly states ADJ is grounded internally and unused in fixed versions.
Is the thermal pad on the PSOP-8 package electrically connected?
Yes, the thermal pad is internally connected to GND (Pin 8) and must be soldered to a PCB GND plane for optimal thermal performance. Leaving it open increases θJA by ~50°C/W and risks thermal shutdown at 2A load; Diodes recommends using the suggested pad layout with 3.6mm × 2.7mm stencil opening.
Does AP2132MP-1.5TRG1 require an external capacitor on the VCTRL pin?
Yes - a 1µF ceramic capacitor must be placed between VCTRL and GND, close to the pin, as specified in the Typical Application Circuit. This stabilizes the internal control circuitry and is essential for achieving rated PSRR (>60dB) and preventing oscillation under dynamic load conditions.
