Product details
Overview
AP2139AK-1.2TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 1.2V ultra-low-quiescent-current CMOS LDO regulator in SOT-23-5 package, featuring 1.0µA typical IQ, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and active quick-discharge functionality enabled via logic-controlled CE pin. It delivers up to 250mA output current with 25mV typical dropout at 10mA load and is optimized for battery-powered portable electronics requiring long standby life.
For engineers reviewing the AP2139AK-1.2TRG1 datasheet, AP2139AK-1.2TRG1 pinout, AP2139AK-1.2TRG1 application, or AP2139AK-1.2TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include quiescent current under light load, enable threshold compatibility, output discharge behavior, and thermal performance in SOT-23-5 footprint.
Technical Context
The AP2139AK-1.2TRG1 integrates a precision voltage reference, error amplifier, resistor network for fixed 1.2V output, and current-limit protection. Its CE input enables logic-level control (VIH = 1.2V min, VIL = 0.3V max) and triggers fast output discharge when disabled.
Designed for low-noise, low-power systems, it operates across -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature with input voltage range 2.5V–6.0V and maintains ±100ppm/°C output voltage temperature coefficient. The internal architecture supports ceramic output capacitors ≥1µF (ESR 0.01Ω–100Ω) for stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.200V ±2% - ensures stable core voltage for low-power MCUs and sensors without external feedback. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0µA typical - extends battery life in always-on or sleep-mode applications such as IoT endpoints. |
| Standby Current | 0.1µA typical - minimizes leakage during system shutdown when CE = low. |
| Dropout Voltage | 25mV typical at 10mA - enables regulation from 1.225V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or NiMH operation. |
| Output Current | 250mA maximum - supports moderate-power peripherals like BLE radios or display drivers. |
| Line Regulation | 6mV typical - maintains tight output stability despite battery voltage sag from 2.5V to 6.0V input. |
| Load Regulation | 25mV typical (1–100mA) - ensures consistent voltage delivery across dynamic load steps. |
| Temp Coefficient | ±100ppm/°C - guarantees <±1.2mV drift over full operating temperature range. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package: 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant. Thermal resistance θJA = 250°C/W, θJC = 81.9°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CE | Active-high enable input; drives internal discharge FET when low, pulling VOUT to GND rapidly. |
| 2 | NC | No internal connection; must be left unconnected or tied to GND per layout guidelines. |
| 3 | VIN | Main input supply (2.5–6.0V); requires ≥1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor close to pin. |
| 4 | VOUT | Regulated 1.2V output; requires ≥1µF ceramic capacitor (ESR 0.01–100Ω) for loop stability. |
| 5 | GND | Power ground reference; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.0µA typical enables >10-year battery life in 10µA average-load IoT sensors. |
| Active quick output discharge | Discharges VOUT to GND within microseconds upon CE deactivation, preventing back-powering of upstream circuitry. |
| Logic-compatible enable input | VIH = 1.2V min allows direct interfacing with 1.8V/3.3V GPIOs without level-shifting. |
| High output accuracy | ±2% tolerance ensures reliable operation of 1.2V I/O domains in modern microcontrollers and PMICs. |
| Low dropout at light loads | 25mV dropout at 10mA permits use with aging batteries down to 1.225V input while maintaining regulation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7354-12SAG-7 | Successor device: 1.2V, 300mA, 0.6µA IQ, same SOT-23-5 package, AEC-Q100 qualified. | Supports automotive-grade reliability and extended temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). | Select for new designs requiring longer product lifecycle support and automotive qualification. |
| MCP1700T-1202E/TT | 1.2V, 250mA, 1.6µA IQ, SOT-23-3 package, no enable or discharge function. | Lacks CE control and quick discharge; requires external circuitry for power sequencing. | Choose only if board space constraints favor 3-pin package and enable/discharge are unnecessary. |
Compared with AP7354-12SAG-7, the AP2139AK-1.2TRG1 offers proven field reliability but lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and has higher quiescent current; versus MCP1700T-1202E/TT, it provides integrated enable and discharge at the cost of one extra pin and slightly larger footprint.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 1.2V output?
The AP2139AK-1.2TRG1 maintains regulation down to VIN = VOUT + VDROP. At 10mA load, typical dropout is 25mV, so minimum input is 1.225V. At 100mA, dropout rises to 200mV, requiring ≥1.4V input. Full specification applies only above 2.5V input per Recommended Operating Conditions.
Does the NC pin (Pin 2) require any PCB routing or grounding?
No. Pin 2 is internally unconnected and must remain floating. Diodes Incorporated's datasheet explicitly states it is "No connection" - routing to GND or any other net may cause unpredictable behavior or violate thermal derating assumptions. Leave it unconnected on the PCB.
Can the AP2139AK-1.2TRG1 drive a 10µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes. The device is stable with ceramic capacitors from 1µF to ≥10µF, provided ESR remains between 0.01Ω and 100Ω. A 10µF X7R ceramic capacitor meets this requirement and improves transient response without compromising stability - no series resistor needed.
Is the quick discharge function automatic or controllable?
The quick discharge function is fully automatic and triggered solely by CE pin transition from high to low. No external components or configuration are required - the internal FET activates immediately upon CE deassertion, discharging VOUT to GND within microseconds without software intervention.
