Product details
Overview
AP2139AK-1.4TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 1.4V CMOS low-dropout (LDO) regulator in SOT-23-5 package, featuring ultra-low 1.0µA quiescent current, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and active enable with quick discharge. It delivers up to 250mA output current and supports input voltages from 2.5V to 6.0V, making it suitable for battery-powered portable AV systems and mobile phone core logic rails.
For engineers reviewing the AP2139AK-1.4TRG1 datasheet, AP2139AK-1.4TRG1 pinout, AP2139AK-1.4TRG1 application, or AP2139AK-1.4TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include standby current (0.1µA), dropout voltage at 100mA (600mV typ), CE input logic thresholds (VIH = 1.2V, VIL = 0.3V), and thermal resistance (θJA = 250°C/W).
Technical Context
The AP2139AK-1.4TRG1 integrates a precision voltage reference, error amplifier, resistor network for fixed 1.4V output, and current-limit protection. Its enable circuit provides logic-controlled shutdown with active quick discharge of the output capacitor upon disable.
Designed for stable operation with ≥1µF ceramic output capacitance (ESR 0.01–100Ω), it maintains ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient and achieves 6mV typical line regulation over 2.4–6.0V input range and 25mV load regulation across 1–100mA output current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.400V ±2% - ensures stable core supply for low-voltage microcontrollers and sensors |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT sensor nodes |
| Standby Current | 0.1µA typical - minimizes leakage during system sleep mode with CE = low |
| Dropout Voltage | 600mV typical at 100mA - allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) down to 2.0V under load |
| Output Current | 250mA maximum - supports moderate-power peripherals like camera modules and audio codecs |
| Line Regulation | 6mV typical - maintains tight output stability despite battery voltage sag during discharge |
| Load Regulation | 25mV typical (1–100mA) - prevents output droop during dynamic load transients in portable devices |
| Temp Coefficient | ±100ppm/°C - limits output drift to ±1.4mV over –40°C to +85°C ambient range |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package with exposed pad (thermal enhancement), 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint, 1.45mm height, and RoHS-compliant lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CE | Active-high enable input: logic high ≥1.2V enables regulator; low ≤0.3V disables with fast output discharge |
| 2 | NC | No connection - must be left floating or grounded per layout guidelines; no internal function |
| 3 | VIN | Main input supply pin: accepts 2.5–6.0V; requires ≥1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor |
| 4 | VOUT | Regulated 1.4V output: stable only with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor (ESR 0.01–100Ω) |
| 5 | GND | Power ground reference: connects to PCB ground plane; critical for noise immunity and thermal performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.0µA typical - extends battery runtime in energy-constrained wearables and remote sensors |
| Logic-controlled enable with quick discharge | CE pin drives internal FET to rapidly discharge VOUT on shutdown - prevents back-powering downstream circuits |
| High output accuracy | ±2% over temperature and line/load - eliminates need for external trimming in precision analog subsystems |
| Low thermal resistance | θJA = 250°C/W - enables 250mA operation without heatsink in compact SOT-23-5 footprint |
| Stable with ceramic capacitors | Supports 1µF output cap (0.01–100Ω ESR) - reduces BOM cost and board area vs. tantalum alternatives |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2139AK-1.4TRG1 to regulate 1.4V output?
The recommended minimum input voltage is 2.5V per datasheet Section 5 (Recommended Operating Conditions). At 100mA load, dropout is 600mV typical, so VIN must exceed 2.0V to sustain regulation - however, 2.5V ensures full specification compliance across temperature and process variation.
Can AP2139AK-1.4TRG1 operate without an output capacitor?
No. The datasheet mandates ≥1µF ceramic output capacitance with ESR between 0.01Ω and 100Ω for stability. Omitting it causes oscillation and potential damage. The quick-discharge function also relies on controlled capacitor discharge through the internal FET.
Is AP2139AK-1.4TRG1 qualified for automotive applications?
No. While Diodes offers AEC-Q100-qualified LDOs (e.g., AP7361 series), AP2139AK-1.4TRG1 is specified for commercial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and lacks PPAP documentation or IATF 16949 manufacturing certification per Note on page 1 of DS37428 Rev. 6-3.
How does the CE pin behavior differ from standard enable inputs?
Unlike basic enable pins, CE on AP2139AK-1.4TRG1 activates an internal discharge FET when pulled low, actively pulling VOUT to GND within microseconds. This prevents back-powering of upstream sources or unintended wake-up of downstream ICs during power-down sequences.
