Product details
Overview
AP2139AK-2.8TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 2.8V, 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 requiring stable low-power voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the AP2139AK-2.8TRG1 datasheet, AP2139AK-2.8TRG1 pinout, AP2139AK-2.8TRG1 application, or AP2139AK-2.8TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include enable logic compatibility, dropout performance at 100mA load, standby current under shutdown, thermal resistance in SOT-23-5, and stability with 1µF ceramic output capacitance.
Technical Context
The AP2139AK-2.8TRG1 integrates a precision voltage reference, error amplifier, resistor network for fixed 2.8V output, and current-limit protection. Its CE input enables logic-controlled on/off operation with 1.2V VIH and 0.3V VIL thresholds, while internal discharge circuitry actively pulls VOUT to GND when disabled.
It operates across 2.5V–6.0V input range with guaranteed 250mA output capability, maintains ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and achieves 25mV typical dropout at 10mA load-enabling efficient regulation in space-constrained, low-power embedded systems where supply headroom is limited.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.8V ±2% - ensures stable rail for 2.8V logic or analog circuitry without external feedback |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0µA typical - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes or standby modes |
| Standby Current | 0.1µA typical - minimizes leakage during CE-driven shutdown |
| Dropout Voltage | 25mV @ 10mA - supports regulation from 2.825V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or NiMH systems |
| Output Current | 250mA - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, RF modules, or small displays |
| Line Regulation | 6mV typical - limits output variation across 3.8V–6.0V input range, improving system robustness |
| Load Regulation | 25mV typical - maintains tight voltage control from 1mA to 100mA load steps |
| Thermal Resistance | 81.9°C/W (θJC) - enables predictable junction temperature rise under continuous 250mA load in SOT-23-5 |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package with exposed pad (RoHS-compliant, lead-free, halogen-free "Green" construction).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CE | Active-high enable input; drives internal discharge FET when low, enabling fast VOUT ramp-down |
| 2 | NC | No connection - must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
| 3 | VIN | Main power input (2.5–6.0V); requires ≥1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor |
| 4 | VOUT | Regulated 2.8V output; stable with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor (ESR 0.01–100Ω) |
| 5 | GND | Power ground reference; connects to PCB thermal pad for heat dissipation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.0µA typical - reduces no-load power loss in energy-harvesting or coin-cell applications |
| Quick output discharge | Active CE-controlled discharge path - eliminates hold-up time, enabling safe sequencing in multi-rail systems |
| Logic-compatible enable | VIH = 1.2V, VIL = 0.3V - interfaces directly with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting |
| High output accuracy | ±2% over -40°C to +85°C - avoids calibration overhead in precision analog signal chains |
| Low-temperature drift | ±100ppm/°C - maintains voltage stability across industrial temperature ranges |
| Stable with ceramic capacitors | Supports 1µF output cap (0.01–100Ω ESR) - simplifies BOM and PCB layout vs. tantalum-dependent LDOs |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7354-28SA-7 | Successor device; 2.8V, 300mA, 0.6µA IQ, improved PSRR and transient response | Recommended for new designs; supports higher load currents and tighter noise-sensitive analog rails | Select when upgrading legacy AP2139-based designs for extended battery life and enhanced stability |
| MCP1700T-2802E/TT | 2.8V, 250mA, 1.6µA IQ, no enable pin, SOT-23-3 package | Lacks CE and quick discharge; suitable only for always-on, space-constrained applications | Choose only if board layout prohibits SOT-23-5 or enable functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with AP2139AK-2.8TRG1, AP7354-28SA-7 delivers lower quiescent current and higher output capability but requires revalidation of enable timing and thermal layout; MCP1700T-2802E/TT offers footprint compatibility but sacrifices controllability and discharge safety in sequenced power systems.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2139AK-2.8TRG1 to regulate at 2.8V?
The AP2139AK-2.8TRG1 requires VIN ≥ 2.5V per recommended operating conditions. At 10mA load, its typical dropout is 25mV, so regulation is maintained down to 2.825V input. Below 2.5V, output voltage drops linearly and specification guarantees no longer apply.
Does AP2139AK-2.8TRG1 require an external capacitor on the CE pin?
No external capacitor is required on the CE pin. The CE input is CMOS-compatible with standard logic thresholds (VIH = 1.2V, VIL = 0.3V) and includes internal pull-down current of 0.2µA. A simple MCU GPIO or open-drain driver suffices for reliable enable/disable control.
Can AP2139AK-2.8TRG1 be used with a 0.47µF output capacitor?
No. The datasheet specifies a minimum 1µF ceramic output capacitor with ESR between 0.01Ω and 100Ω for stability. Using 0.47µF risks oscillation or poor transient response, especially under load steps-verified in typical application circuits and stability testing.
Is AP2139AK-2.8TRG1 qualified for automotive applications?
AP2139AK-2.8TRG1 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes Incorporated explicitly states that automotive-grade variants require separate qualification (e.g., PPAP, IATF 16949 manufacturing), and this part is intended for commercial/industrial portable equipment-not automotive ECUs or infotainment systems.
