Product details
Overview
AP2202K-ADJTRE1 from Diodes Incorporated is an adjustable 150mA ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator delivering ±1% output voltage accuracy, 165mV dropout at full load, 75dB PSRR at 100Hz, and 1µA shutdown current. It operates from 2.5V to 13.2V input, supports external resistor-set output voltages down to 2.3V, and targets noise-sensitive RF power rails in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the AP2202K-ADJTRE1 datasheet, AP2202K-ADJTRE1 pinout, AP2202K-ADJTRE1 application, or AP2202K-ADJTRE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include adjustable output configuration, SOT-23-5 thermal performance (θJA = 200°C/W), reverse current protection, and logic-compatible enable control with 0.4V VIL.
Technical Context
The AP2202K-ADJTRE1 implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier driving a PMOS pass transistor, enabling ultra-low dropout and reverse current blocking. Its BYP/ADJ pin accepts either a bypass capacitor for noise reduction or a resistor divider for output voltage programming (VOUT = 1.25V × (1 + R2/R1)).
Thermal shutdown, overcurrent limiting (320–550mA), and internal current limit protection operate independently of external components. The device maintains 75dB PSRR at 100Hz with only 100pF BYP-to-GND capacitance and achieves ±1% initial accuracy across -40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 150mA maximum continuous - supports power delivery to RF transceivers and baseband ICs without thermal derating in SOT-23-5. |
| Dropout Voltage | 165mV at 150mA - enables stable 2.8V output from a 3.3V battery rail with ≥0.5V headroom margin. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 100Hz - suppresses low-frequency switching noise from DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Output Accuracy | ±1% at +25°C - ensures precise biasing for analog front-ends and ADC reference supplies. |
| Standby Current | 1µA max in shutdown - extends battery life in always-on wireless sensor nodes during sleep mode. |
| Enable Threshold | VIL ≤ 0.4V, VIH ≥ 2.0V - interfaces directly with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 200°C/W (SOT-23-5) - defines junction-to-ambient rise under PCB layout constraints typical of handheld PCBs. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package: 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, exposed pad not electrically connected, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.5V–13.2V; requires 1.0µF ceramic input capacitor for stability and transient response. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path for regulator quiescent current and load current; connects to PCB ground plane. |
| 3 (EN) | Logic-enable control | CMOS/TTL-compatible; drives regulator into 1µA shutdown when pulled ≤0.4V. |
| 4 (BYP/ADJ) | Bypass or feedback node | Connect 100pF to GND for low-noise operation; or use resistor divider to set VOUT = 1.25V × (1 + R2/R1). |
| 5 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers adjustable output (≥2.3V); requires 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor for loop stability and PSRR optimization. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-Low Dropout | 165mV at 150mA enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) while regulating 2.8V outputs. |
| Reverse Current Protection | Prevents backflow from VOUT to VIN during input brownout - eliminates need for external blocking diode. |
| Adjustable Output | Supports 2.3V–13.2V output via external resistors; minimum 2.3V avoids instability in ADJ-mode configurations. |
| High PSRR at Low Frequency | 75dB at 100Hz rejects ripple from buck converter switching frequencies and audio-band interference. |
| Integrated Thermal Shutdown | Activates at +150°C junction temperature and auto-recovers after cooldown - protects against sustained overload. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable ULDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1826T-ADJ/DC | Higher 250mV dropout at 150mA; 2.2µA quiescent current; no reverse current protection. | Lacks reverse current blocking - requires external diode in battery backup paths. | Choose when higher dropout is acceptable and board space permits discrete protection. |
| TLS850F0TESA1 | Automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualified; fixed 5.0V output only; 3.5µA IQ; integrated watchdog. | Not adjustable; designed for automotive infotainment power domains, not portable RF systems. | Use only in automotive environments requiring PPAP documentation and extended temperature validation. |
Compared with MCP1826T-ADJ/DC and TLS850F0TESA1, the AP2202K-ADJTRE1 uniquely combines adjustable output, reverse current blocking, and 165mV dropout in a 5-pin SOT-23 package - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-powered RF applications demanding minimal input headroom and zero backfeed risk.

FAQ
What is the minimum output voltage achievable with AP2202K-ADJTRE1?
The AP2202K-ADJTRE1 supports a minimum output voltage of 2.3V when configured in adjustable mode. This is defined by the internal 1.25V reference and practical resistor-divider limitations - lower values risk instability due to reduced feedback loop gain and increased sensitivity to resistor tolerance.
Does AP2202K-ADJTRE1 require an external bypass capacitor on the BYP/ADJ pin?
Yes - a 100pF capacitor between BYP/ADJ and GND is mandatory for low-noise operation. When used in adjustable mode, this capacitor remains in parallel with the R1–R2 divider and must be placed close to the pin to minimize parasitic inductance that degrades PSRR above 10kHz.
How does thermal shutdown behave during sustained overload?
Thermal shutdown activates at +150°C junction temperature and forces the output to turn off. Recovery is automatic once the junction cools below +135°C hysteresis threshold. During repeated cycling, average output current is limited by ambient temperature and PCB copper area - data sheet θJA = 200°C/W assumes minimal copper pour.
Can AP2202K-ADJTRE1 be used with ceramic output capacitors only?
Yes - the AP2202K-ADJTRE1 is stable with 2.2µF X5R/X7R ceramic output capacitors and does not require ESR-based damping. Using ceramic capacitors improves transient response and reduces board area versus tantalum alternatives, aligning with modern portable design practices.
