Product details
Overview
AP2202K-2.8TRE1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 2.8V, 150mA ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator in SOT-23-5 package, delivering 165mV dropout at full load, ±1% output accuracy, and 75dB PSRR at 100Hz - designed for noise-sensitive RF power rails in battery-powered handheld devices.
For engineers reviewing the AP2202K-2.8TRE1 datasheet, AP2202K-2.8TRE1 pinout, AP2202K-2.8TRE1 application, or AP2202K-2.8TRE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-noise operation (260nV/√Hz), sub-1µA shutdown current, reverse-current protection, logic-compatible enable control, and thermal/overcurrent safety features.
Technical Context
The AP2202K-2.8TRE1 integrates a bandgap reference, error amplifier, and PMOS pass transistor to achieve ultra-low dropout and high PSRR. Its internal architecture enables stable regulation with only 100pF bypass capacitor on the BYP pin, minimizing external component count.
It operates across -40°C to +125°C junction temperature, supports input voltages from 3.3V (VOUT + 0.5V) to 13.2V, and includes integrated thermal shutdown, overcurrent limiting (320–550mA), and reverse-current blocking - eliminating need for external diodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8V ±1% - ensures precise biasing for RF ICs and low-voltage microcontrollers without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - sufficient for powering baseband processors, RF front-end ICs, or sensor subsystems in compact portable designs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 165mV at 150mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) while maintaining regulation under load transients. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 100Hz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters, critical for RF receiver sensitivity. |
| Standby Current | 1µA max in shutdown - extends battery life in always-on wireless modules and sleep-mode peripherals. |
| Output Noise | 260nV/√Hz - minimizes phase noise in VCOs and jitter in clocked analog circuits powered from this rail. |
| Enable Logic Threshold | VIL ≤ 0.4V / VIH ≥ 2.0V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIOs without level-shifting, simplifying host MCU interface. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 surface-mount package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), thermally enhanced with exposed pad connected to GND; RoHS-compliant, halogen-free "Green" molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input supply connection | Accepts 3.3V–13.2V input; requires 1.0µF ceramic input capacitor for stability and transient response. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference and thermal path | Common return for all currents; exposed pad (Pin 2) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance. |
| 3 (EN) | Logic-controlled enable input | CMOS/TTL-compatible; pull high ≥2.0V to activate regulator, pull low ≤0.4V to enter 1µA shutdown mode. |
| 4 (BYP) | Bypass capacitor terminal | Connects 100pF capacitor to GND to reduce internal reference noise and improve PSRR above 10kHz. |
| 5 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 2.8V ±1%; requires 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor for loop stability and load transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 165mV at 150mA enables use with depleting batteries and tight input-output margins. |
| Reverse current protection | Blocks backflow from VOUT to VIN during shutdown or input collapse - eliminates need for external blocking diode. |
| Thermal & overcurrent protection | Auto-recovering shutdown at >150°C junction temp and >320mA short-circuit current - ensures robustness in unattended operation. |
| Low-noise design | 260nV/√Hz output noise and 75dB PSRR preserve signal integrity in RF and precision analog stages. |
| Logic-compatible enable | Direct interfacing with 1.8V/3.3V microcontrollers reduces BOM and layout complexity. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-2802E/TO | 3.3V max input, 250mV dropout at 250mA, no BYP pin, 120nV/√Hz noise | Limited to lower-input systems; lacks reverse-current protection and PSRR optimization above 1kHz | Prefer for cost-sensitive, low-power MCU-only rails where input voltage never exceeds 3.3V. |
| Torex XC6206P282MR-G | 100mA max output, 200mV dropout, no enable pin, 45dB PSRR at 100Hz | Unsuitable for dynamic RF loads; no logic control or thermal protection | Only for static, low-current analog sensors where enable sequencing and fault tolerance are unnecessary. |
Compared with MCP1700-2802E/TO and XC6206P282MR-G, the AP2202K-2.8TRE1 uniquely combines 150mA drive, 75dB PSRR, reverse-current blocking, and 1µA shutdown - making it the sole choice for battery-fed RF subsystems demanding simultaneous low noise, low dropout, and robust protection.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2202K-2.8TRE1 to maintain regulation?
The minimum input voltage is VOUT + 0.165V = 2.965V at 150mA load and +25°C, but Diodes recommends VOUT + 0.5V = 3.3V for reliable operation across temperature and line/load variations. Input below 3.3V risks dropout-induced output sag during transients or elevated temperature.
Does AP2202K-2.8TRE1 require an external bypass capacitor, and what value is specified?
Yes - a 100pF ceramic capacitor must be placed between the BYP pin and GND. This capacitor stabilizes the internal bandgap reference, directly improving PSRR above 10kHz and reducing output noise by filtering reference voltage fluctuations.
How does the reverse-current protection function, and is it active in shutdown mode?
Reverse-current protection blocks conduction from VOUT to VIN whenever VIN falls below VOUT, using an internal PMOS structure that remains active in both normal operation and shutdown mode. This prevents battery discharge through the LDO when input is disconnected or collapses.
Can AP2202K-2.8TRE1 be used with ceramic output capacitors, and what is the minimum recommended value?
Yes - it is fully stable with ceramic output capacitors. Diodes specifies a minimum of 2.2µF X5R/X7R ceramic at the VOUT pin; lower values risk instability under load transients, while higher values improve transient response but increase start-up time and inrush current.
