Product details
Overview
AP2202K-3.3TRE1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 3.3V, 150mA ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator in SOT-23-5 package, delivering ±1% output accuracy, 165mV dropout at full load, 75dB PSRR at 100Hz, and 1µA shutdown current. It powers noise-sensitive RF circuitry and battery-powered portable devices requiring stable low-noise bias.
For engineers reviewing the AP2202K-3.3TRE1 datasheet, AP2202K-3.3TRE1 pinout, AP2202K-3.3TRE1 application, or AP2202K-3.3TRE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under 150mA load, PSRR performance at sub-kHz frequencies, enable logic compatibility, thermal protection behavior, and SOT-23-5 footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AP2202K-3.3TRE1 integrates a bandgap reference, error amplifier, and PMOS pass transistor to achieve ultra-low dropout and high PSRR. Its internal architecture includes overcurrent, overtemperature, and reverse-current protection circuits that operate autonomously without external components.
It uses a CMOS/TTL-compatible enable input (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.4V) to control regulator state, and a dedicated BYP pin for connecting a 100pF capacitor to reduce output noise. The device maintains regulation across -40°C to +125°C junction temperature with guaranteed line/load regulation and ±1% initial accuracy.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1% - ensures stable bias for 3.3V logic, RF ICs, and ADC references without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - supports moderate-power analog/RF subsystems including LNA stages and sensor signal chains. |
| Dropout Voltage | 165mV at 150mA - enables operation from 3.465V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or Li-poly systems. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 100Hz - suppresses low-frequency power supply ripple from switching converters feeding sensitive RF blocks. |
| Standby Current | 1µA max in shutdown - extends battery life in always-on wireless sensors and standby modes of handheld devices. |
| Output Noise | 260nV/√Hz - minimizes phase noise contribution in local oscillator supply rails and PLL VCO bias paths. |
| Thermal Protection | Integrated junction shutdown - prevents damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design without external circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 surface-mount package with exposed pad (non-electrical), rated for 200°C/W θJA and 63.4°C/W θJC. Pin 2 is GND; Pin 3 is EN (active-high enable); Pin 4 is BYP (bypass capacitor connection for noise reduction); Pin 5 is VOUT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | Main input supply rail; must be ≥ VOUT + 0.5V (≥3.8V) for reliable regulation under all conditions. |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference; connects to PCB ground plane for low-impedance return path and thermal conduction. |
| 3 | EN | Logic-compatible enable input; drives regulator ON when ≥2.0V, OFF when ≤0.4V; supports microcontroller GPIO control. |
| 4 | BYP | Bypass terminal for 100pF capacitor to GND; reduces high-frequency output noise and improves PSRR stability. |
| 5 | VOUT | Regulated 3.3V output; requires 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor (X5R/X7R) for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-Low Dropout | 165mV at 150mA load enables use with marginal input headroom in compact battery-powered designs. |
| High PSRR at Low Frequency | 75dB at 100Hz rejects ripple from buck converter switching artifacts before they couple into RF sections. |
| Reverse Current Protection | Prevents backflow from VOUT to VIN during input brownout or hot-swap events, protecting upstream power sources. |
| Logic-Compatible Enable | CMOS/TTL thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.4V) allow direct interfacing with 1.8V/3.3V/5V microcontrollers without level shifters. |
| Integrated Thermal Shutdown | Autonomous junction temperature cutoff prevents failure during sustained overload or inadequate heatsinking on small PCBs. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable 3.3V output at 150mA?
The AP2202K-3.3TRE1 requires a minimum input voltage of VOUT + 0.5V = 3.8V for reliable regulation under all load and temperature conditions. While dropout is specified at 165mV, the datasheet recommends ≥0.5V headroom to maintain PSRR and avoid instability near dropout boundary.
Can the BYP pin be left unconnected?
No. The BYP pin must be connected to a 100pF capacitor to ground to achieve specified 260nV/√Hz output noise and 75dB PSRR. Leaving it open degrades noise performance and may cause instability in high-frequency noise-sensitive applications like RF VCO biasing.
Does AP2202K-3.3TRE1 support adjustable output voltage?
No. AP2202K-3.3TRE1 is a fixed 3.3V output variant. Adjustable versions (e.g., AP2202-ADJ) exist but require external resistor dividers on the ADJ pin and are packaged separately. This part has no internal adjustment capability.
Is thermal shutdown reversible without power cycle?
Yes. Thermal shutdown is fully automatic and self-resetting: once junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (typically ~15°C below trip point), regulation resumes without requiring an enable toggle or power interruption.
