Product details
Overview
AP2132MP-1.8TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a 2A, 1.8V fixed-output CMOS low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator in PSOP-8 package with thermal pad, featuring 300mV dropout at 2A, ±2% output voltage accuracy, power-good (PG) signal, and enable control. It operates from 1.4V input and supports notebook, portable computing, and point-of-load regulation where stable low-voltage rail generation is critical.
For engineers reviewing the AP2132MP-1.8TRG1 datasheet, AP2132MP-1.8TRG1 pinout, AP2132MP-1.8TRG1 application, or AP2132MP-1.8TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at full load, PG assertion threshold (92% VOUT), EN logic thresholds, thermal resistance (θJC = 40°C/W), and PSOP-8 thermal pad layout compliance.
Technical Context
The AP2132MP-1.8TRG1 integrates a precision 0.6V reference, error amplifier, PMOS pass transistor, current-limit circuit, thermal shutdown (165°C), and open-drain PG output. Its internal resistor network fixes VOUT to 1.8V without external components-ADJ pin is grounded per specification.
VCTRL pin accepts 4.5–5.5V for biasing internal control circuitry independently of VIN; EN enables/disables regulation with 1.5V high-threshold and 0.4V low-threshold; PG asserts high when VOUT reaches ≥92% of nominal 1.8V (i.e., ≥1.656V) with 7% hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±2% (±36mV) over -40°C to +85°C ambient |
| Max Output Current | 2A continuous; limited by thermal design and 300mV dropout at full load |
| Dropout Voltage | 300mV @ IOUT = 2A, VOUT = 1.8V - enables operation from 2.1V input rail |
| Power Good Threshold | 92% of 1.8V = 1.656V with 7% hysteresis - ensures reliable system power sequencing |
| Supply Current | 300µA typical quiescent current - minimizes no-load power loss in battery systems |
| PSRR | 60dB @ 100Hz/1kHz - suppresses ripple from upstream switching regulators |
| Thermal Resistance | θJC = 40°C/W - requires thermal pad soldering for sustained 2A operation |
Pinout & Package
AP2132MP-1.8TRG1 uses the PSOP-8 package with exposed thermal pad (pin 8 GND and pad both serve as thermal and electrical ground). The package measures 4.7mm × 6.2mm × 1.27mm and requires specific PCB pad layout per Diodes' recommended footprint (E = 1.27mm pitch, thermal pad = 3.9mm × 2.7mm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (PG) | Open-drain Power Good output | Asserts high when VOUT ≥ 1.656V; requires external pull-up for logic-level interface |
| 2 (EN) | Active-high enable input | Drives regulator ON when ≥1.5V; <0.4V disables output and reduces IQ to standby level |
| 3 (VIN) | Main input supply | Accepts 1.4V–5.5V; must be decoupled with ≥10µF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| 4 (VCTRL) | Bias voltage input | Supplies 4.5–5.5V to internal control circuitry; independent of VIN for stable operation |
| 5 (NC) | No-connect terminal | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected on PCB |
| 6 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.8V ±2% up to 2A; requires ≥10µF output capacitance for stability |
| 7 (ADJ) | Internal voltage divider tap | Internally grounded for 1.8V fixed mode; not used externally in this variant |
| 8 (GND) | Power and signal ground | Primary ground return; thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout at full load | 300mV @ 2A enables use with 2.1V input sources like Li-ion single-cell or buck-boost outputs |
| Integrated power-good signaling | PG output eliminates need for external supervisor IC in power sequencing-critical systems |
| Enable-controlled startup/shutdown | EN pin allows precise system-level power gating with <0.4V logic-low disable threshold |
| Robust protection suite | Includes overcurrent limit, thermal shutdown (165°C), and hysteresis (20°C) for safe fault recovery |
| Thermally optimized PSOP-8 | Exposed thermal pad and θJC = 40°C/W support 2A operation with minimal heatsinking |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP2202K-1.8TRG1 | 150mA max output, SOT-25 package, no PG output, higher dropout (500mV @ 150mA) | Suitable only for ultra-low-power logic rails; lacks PG and thermal capability for 2A loads | Select only if load current ≤150mA and PG signaling is unnecessary. |
| Torex XC6210B182MR-G | 2A output, SOT-89-5 package, no VCTRL pin, PG threshold 90% VOUT, θJA = 120°C/W | Requires larger PCB area for thermal management; lacks independent VCTRL for bias stability | Prefer when board space permits SOT-89-5 and VCTRL independence is not required. |
Compared with AP2202K-1.8TRG1 and XC6210B182MR-G, the AP2132MP-1.8TRG1 uniquely combines 2A capability, integrated PG, low 300mV dropout, and dedicated VCTRL biasing-enabling robust, space-efficient 1.8V regulation in thermally constrained, high-reliability systems.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2132MP-1.8TRG1 to regulate 1.8V at 2A?
The absolute minimum input voltage is 2.1V: VOUT (1.8V) + VDROP (300mV) = 2.1V. Per datasheet, VIN must be ≥1.4V, but full 2A regulation requires VIN ≥ VOUT + 300mV. Operation below 2.1V results in dropout and unregulated output.
Can the ADJ pin be left floating in the AP2132MP-1.8TRG1 fixed-output version?
No. For the 1.8V fixed version, the ADJ pin must be grounded per datasheet Internal Mode definition. Floating ADJ may cause undefined output voltage or instability, as the internal resistor divider requires a solid GND reference to set 1.8V accurately.
Is the thermal pad on the PSOP-8 package electrically connected to GND?
Yes. The exposed thermal pad is internally connected to pin 8 (GND) and must be soldered to the PCB ground plane. It serves both thermal dissipation and electrical grounding functions; omitting pad connection degrades θJA by >50% and risks thermal shutdown under 2A load.
Does the PG output require an external pull-up resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes. PG is open-drain and requires an external pull-up to a logic-compatible voltage (e.g., 1.8V or 3.3V). Diodes recommends 10kΩ to balance speed (<1µs rise time) and current draw (<0.33mA at 3.3V); values <4.7kΩ increase power, >100kΩ slow response and risk noise susceptibility.
