Product details
Overview
AP2139AK-3.0TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 3.0V CMOS low-dropout (LDO) regulator in SOT-23-5 package, featuring ultra-low 1.0µA quiescent current, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and active high enable with quick discharge. It delivers up to 250mA output current with 25mV dropout at 10mA load and supports portable battery-powered systems requiring stable low-power biasing.
For engineers reviewing the AP2139AK-3.0TRG1 datasheet, AP2139AK-3.0TRG1 pinout, AP2139AK-3.0TRG1 application, or AP2139AK-3.0TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include standby current (0.1µA), enable logic thresholds (VIH = 1.2V, VIL = 0.3V), dropout behavior at 100mA (200mV typ), thermal resistance (81.9°C/W), and compatibility with 1µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
This LDO integrates a precision voltage reference, error amplifier, resistor feedback network, and current-limit protection. Its enable circuit provides logic-controlled shutdown with active quick discharge-fully discharging the output capacitor when disabled.
The device 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. Dropout voltage scales linearly with load: 25mV at 10mA, 200mV at 100mA, and 450mV at 250mA for the 3.0V version.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0V ±2% - ensures stable core/bias rail for microcontrollers and sensors without external feedback. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT endpoints and wearables. |
| Standby Current | 0.1µA typical - minimizes leakage during system sleep mode when CE = low. |
| Max Output Current | 250mA - supports moderate-power peripherals like BLE radios or display drivers. |
| Dropout Voltage | 25mV @ 10mA / 200mV @ 100mA - allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) or two-cell alkaline with margin. |
| Line Regulation | 6mV typical - limits output variation under input supply ripple or battery sag. |
| Load Regulation | 25mV typical (1–100mA) - maintains voltage stability across dynamic load steps in portable AV systems. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 250°C/W - defines power dissipation limit: max ~400mW at TA = 85°C before derating. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package: 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant, halogen-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CE | Active-high enable input; drives internal pass transistor and activates quick-discharge FET when low. |
| 2 | NC | No connection - electrically isolated, must be left floating or grounded per layout guidelines. |
| 3 | VIN | Main input supply (2.5–6.0V); requires ≥1µF ceramic decoupling close to pin. |
| 4 | VOUT | Regulated 3.0V output; requires ≥1µF ceramic capacitor (ESR 0.01–100Ω) for stability. |
| 5 | GND | Power ground reference; must connect to low-impedance PCB ground plane for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.0µA typical - extends battery runtime in maintenance-free sensor nodes and remote controls. |
| Quick output discharge | Active discharge path via internal FET when CE = low - prevents residual voltage hold-up that could delay system reset. |
| Logic-compatible enable | VIH = 1.2V min, VIL = 0.3V max - interfaces directly with 1.8V/3.3V GPIOs without level-shifting. |
| High output accuracy | ±2% over temperature and line/load - eliminates need for post-regulation trimming in precision analog subsystems. |
| Low temperature drift | ±100ppm/°C - ensures <±15mV output shift from -40°C to +85°C for 3.0V output. |
| Stable with ceramic caps | Supports 1µF X7R/X5R ceramics (0.01–100Ω ESR) - reduces BOM count and board area vs. tantalum alternatives. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7354-30SAG-7 | Successor device: 3.0V, 300mA, 500nA IQ, SOT-23-5, AEC-Q100 qualified. | Automotive-grade qualification and lower IQ support extended-temperature industrial designs. | Select for new designs requiring longer lifecycle support and automotive compliance. |
| MCP1700-3002E/TO | 3.0V, 250mA, 1.6µA IQ, TO-92 package - higher quiescent current, through-hole mounting. | Limited to low-density PCBs where SMT assembly is unavailable or thermal mass is prioritized. | Choose only if legacy through-hole assembly or higher thermal inertia is required. |
Compared with AP2139AK-3.0TRG1, AP7354-30SAG-7 offers superior IQ and automotive qualification but requires validation of enable timing; MCP1700-3002E/TO trades SMT scalability and ultra-low IQ for mechanical robustness and simpler rework.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2139AK-3.0TRG1 to regulate 3.0V output?
The recommended minimum input voltage is 2.5V per datasheet operating conditions. At 100mA load, dropout is 200mV typical, so VIN ≥ 3.2V ensures full regulation margin. Below 2.5V, the device enters dropout and output tracks input minus RDS(on) × IOUT.
Can AP2139AK-3.0TRG1 be used without an output capacitor?
No. A minimum 1µF ceramic capacitor with ESR between 0.01Ω and 100Ω is required at VOUT for stability. Omitting it causes oscillation or excessive output ripple, as confirmed by the functional block diagram and typical application circuit in DS37428 Rev. 6-3.
Is the NC pin on AP2139AK-3.0TRG1 internally connected or should it be grounded?
Pin 2 is explicitly designated "NC" (No Connection) in the Pin Description table. It is electrically isolated and must remain unconnected-neither grounded nor tied to any voltage. Routing traces to it may induce parasitic coupling or violate isolation guarantees.
Does AP2139AK-3.0TRG1 support reverse current blocking during shutdown?
Yes. When CE = low, the quick-discharge function actively pulls VOUT to GND through an internal FET, and the pass transistor is fully off-preventing reverse current flow from VOUT back into VIN, as verified by the functional block diagram and standby current specification (ISTD = 0.1µA).
