Product details
Overview
AP2139AK-1.8TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 1.8V, 250mA ultra-low-quiescent-current CMOS LDO regulator in SOT-23-5 package, featuring active high enable (CE), quick output discharge, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and 1.0µA typical quiescent current-designed for battery-powered portable AV systems and mobile phone core logic rails.
For engineers reviewing the AP2139AK-1.8TRG1 datasheet, AP2139AK-1.8TRG1 pinout, AP2139AK-1.8TRG1 application, or AP2139AK-1.8TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 100mA (400mV typ), standby current (0.1µA typ), CE input logic thresholds (VIH = 1.2V, VIL = 0.3V), and thermal resistance (θJA = 250°C/W).
Technical Context
The AP2139AK-1.8TRG1 integrates a precision voltage reference, error amplifier, resistor network for fixed 1.8V regulation, and current-limit protection. Its CE-controlled shutdown enables system-level power sequencing with active-high logic compatibility and internal pull-down (0.2µA).
Quick discharge functionality actively sinks the output node when disabled, ensuring rapid VOUT decay (<1ms to <0.1V) without external components-critical for multi-rail systems requiring controlled power-down timing and isolation between supply domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.800V ±2% (1.764–1.836V); ensures stable core voltage for 1.8V I/O interfaces and low-power microcontrollers. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0µA typical at zero load; extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and standby modes. |
| Dropout Voltage | 25mV typical at 10mA / 1.8V output; supports operation down to VIN = 1.825V, enabling single-cell Li-ion or alkaline use. |
| Standby Current | 0.1µA typical with CE = low; minimizes leakage during deep-sleep states in wearable devices. |
| Load Regulation | 25mV typical (1–100mA); maintains tight voltage control across dynamic load steps in portable audio codecs. |
| Line Regulation | 6mV typical (2.8–6.0V input); rejects input ripple from switching pre-regulators or aging batteries. |
| Output Tempco | ±100ppm/°C; limits drift to ±1.8mV over –40°C to +85°C ambient-suitable for precision analog front-ends. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package: 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, lead-free, halogen-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CE | Active-high enable input; VIH ≥ 1.2V enables regulation, VIL ≤ 0.3V disables with quick discharge activation. |
| 2 | NC | No connection; electrically isolated, must be left floating or grounded per layout best practice. |
| 3 | VIN | Main input supply pin; accepts 2.5–6.0V; requires ≥1µF ceramic input capacitor for stability. |
| 4 | VOUT | Regulated 1.8V output; minimum 1µF ceramic output capacitor (ESR 0.01–100Ω) required for loop stability. |
| 5 | GND | Power ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into error amplifier. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.0µA typical enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell-powered IoT sensors at 10µA average load. |
| Active quick output discharge | Internal NMOS sink discharges VOUT to <0.1V within 1ms of CE deactivation-eliminates need for external bleed resistor. |
| High output accuracy | ±2% tolerance over temperature and line/load ensures reliable operation of 1.8V FPGA I/O banks and ADC references. |
| Logic-compatible enable | CE input accepts standard 1.8V/3.3V GPIO levels (VIH=1.2V, VIL=0.3V), simplifying host MCU interface without level shifters. |
| Low thermal resistance | θJA = 250°C/W allows 250mA continuous output at TA = +85°C with minimal derating in compact PCB footprints. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7354-18SAG-7 | Successor device: 1.8V, 300mA, 0.6µA IQ, lower dropout (18mV @10mA), same SOT-23-5 package. | Designed for new designs; supports higher load current and tighter dropout-ideal for next-gen wearables with increased sensor count. | Select when designing new products; AP7354 offers improved efficiency and extended battery runtime but requires validation of CE timing compatibility. |
| MCP1700-1802E/TO | Microchip 1.8V LDO: 250mA, 1.6µA IQ, TO-92 package, no enable or quick discharge. | Lacks CE control and discharge; suited for cost-sensitive, non-sequenced applications like simple remote controls. | Choose only for legacy replacements where board space allows TO-92 and system-level discharge is handled externally. |
Compared with AP7354-18SAG-7, AP2139AK-1.8TRG1 trades 0.4µA higher IQ and 7mV higher dropout for proven field reliability in existing designs; versus MCP1700-1802E/TO, it adds critical enable/discharge functionality at the cost of SMT-only assembly and slightly higher BOM complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for AP2139AK-1.8TRG1?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 6.6V, but recommended operating range is 2.5V to 6.0V. Exceeding 6.0V risks exceeding junction temperature limits under load, especially at high ambient temperatures. The device includes internal overvoltage protection that clamps VIN transients above 6.6V, but sustained operation above 6.0V is not guaranteed per datasheet specifications.
Does AP2139AK-1.8TRG1 require an external discharge resistor?
No. The AP2139AK-1.8TRG1 integrates an active NMOS discharge switch on the VOUT pin, activated automatically when CE is driven low. This provides sub-millisecond discharge without external components, reducing BOM count and PCB area-unlike AP2138 variants or basic LDOs lacking this feature.
Can AP2139AK-1.8TRG1 operate with ceramic output capacitors below 1µF?
No. The datasheet specifies a minimum 1µF ceramic output capacitor with ESR between 0.01Ω and 100Ω for loop stability. Using smaller values risks oscillation or poor transient response, particularly during load steps up to 250mA. X5R/X7R dielectrics are recommended for stable capacitance across temperature and bias.
Is AP2139AK-1.8TRG1 qualified for automotive applications?
No. AP2139AK-1.8TRG1 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes Incorporated offers automotive-grade alternatives (e.g., AP7361x-Q series) with PPAP support, extended temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), and IATF 16949 manufacturing. This part is intended for commercial and industrial portable applications only.
