Product details
Overview
AP2202K-3.3TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 3.3V, 150mA ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator in SOT-23-5 package, delivering 165mV typical 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-3.3TRG1 datasheet, AP2202K-3.3TRG1 pinout, AP2202K-3.3TRG1 application, or AP2202K-3.3TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-noise operation (260nV/√Hz), 1µA max shutdown current, reverse-current protection, logic-compatible enable input, and thermal/overcurrent safety features.
Technical Context
The AP2202K-3.3TRG1 integrates a bandgap reference, error amplifier, and PMOS pass transistor to achieve ultra-low dropout and high PSRR without requiring external compensation. Its internal architecture enables stable regulation with only 1.0µF input and 2.2µF output ceramic capacitors.
It implements CMOS/TTL-compatible enable control, thermal shutdown at +150°C, current limiting at 320–550mA, and reverse-current blocking via integrated MOSFET body diode isolation - all operating across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1% - ensures precise biasing for 3.3V logic, RF ICs, and analog sensors without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - supports moderate-power subsystems like RF transceivers, camera modules, or MCU peripherals. |
| Dropout Voltage | 165mV at 150mA - enables operation from 3.465V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or Li-poly systems under load. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 100Hz - suppresses low-frequency supply ripple from switching converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Output Noise | 260nV/√Hz - minimizes phase noise in VCOs, LNAs, and other RF signal-chain components. |
| Shutdown Current | 1µA maximum - extends battery life in standby modes of portable electronics. |
| Enable Threshold | VIL ≤ 0.4V / VIH ≥ 2.0V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 surface-mount package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), RoHS-compliant, lead-free, with exposed thermal pad on pin 2 (GND) for enhanced heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.5V–13.2V DC; minimum 3.465V required for 3.3V output at 150mA due to 165mV dropout. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference and thermal pad | Primary return path and thermal conduction node; must be soldered to PCB copper pour for thermal performance. |
| 3 (EN) | Logic-enable control input | Active-high TTL/CMOS-compatible; pulls regulator into 1µA shutdown when ≤0.4V. |
| 4 (BYP) | Bypass capacitor connection | Connects 100pF capacitor to GND to reduce output noise and improve PSRR at high frequencies. |
| 5 (VOUT) | Regulated output voltage | Delivers stable 3.3V ±1% to load; requires 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 165mV at 150mA enables use with marginal input margins - e.g., 3.6V nominal Li-ion down to 3.465V under discharge. |
| Low-noise regulation | 260nV/√Hz output noise and 75dB PSRR preserve signal integrity in RF front-ends and precision analog circuits. |
| Reverse current protection | Integrated MOSFET blocking prevents backfeed from VOUT to VIN during shutdown or input loss - eliminates need for external diode. |
| Thermal & overcurrent protection | Auto-recovery shutdown at >+150°C junction temp and current limit at 320–550mA protect against sustained overload or PCB layout faults. |
| Logic-compatible enable | 0.4V/2.0V thresholds support direct interfacing with 1.8V and 3.3V microcontrollers without external level shifters. |
Applications
| Cellular Handset Power Rail | RF Transceiver Bias Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ULDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3302E/TT | 3.3V fixed, 250mA, 600mV dropout at 250mA, 18µA quiescent current | Higher dropout and quiescent current - less suitable for low-VIN or ultra-low-power RF use cases | Select if higher output current is needed and input headroom >0.6V is available. |
| Torex XC6206P332MR-G | 3.3V fixed, 150mA, 250mV dropout at 150mA, 1µA shutdown, no reverse-current protection | Lacks integrated reverse-current blocking - requires external diode in backfeed-prone topologies | Choose where board space allows discrete protection and PSRR >70dB is not required. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2202K-3.3TRG1 to maintain regulation at 150mA?
The minimum input voltage is 3.465V - calculated as 3.3V output plus 165mV typical dropout. The datasheet recommends using at least VOUT + 0.5V (i.e., 3.8V) to ensure margin against worst-case dropout, temperature drift, and line/load regulation errors across –40°C to +125°C operation.
Does AP2202K-3.3TRG1 require an external bypass capacitor on the BYP pin?
Yes - a 100pF capacitor must be placed between BYP and GND to optimize high-frequency PSRR and reduce output noise. Omitting this capacitor degrades noise performance and may reduce PSRR above 10kHz; the capacitor must be placed as close as possible to pins 4 and 2 to minimize parasitic inductance.
Can AP2202K-3.3TRG1 be used in automotive applications?
No - AP2202K-3.3TRG1 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes Incorporated offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., AP2202Q series) with PPAP capability, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and extended qualification testing; those parts carry distinct part numbers and packaging markings.
How does the reverse-current protection function in AP2202K-3.3TRG1?
Reverse-current protection is implemented via an integrated PMOS pass transistor configured to block current flow from VOUT to VIN when the input is absent or lower than output voltage. This eliminates the need for an external series diode and prevents battery drain or system-level backfeed in multi-supply architectures.
