Product details
Overview
AP2202R-3.3TRE1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 3.3V, 150mA ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator with 165mV dropout at full load, ±1% output accuracy, and 75dB PSRR at 100Hz-designed for noise-sensitive RF power rails in handheld wireless devices.
For engineers reviewing the AP2202R-3.3TRE1 datasheet, AP2202R-3.3TRE1 pinout, AP2202R-3.3TRE1 application, or AP2202R-3.3TRE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-noise operation (260nV/√Hz), 1µA shutdown current, logic-compatible enable control, reverse current protection, and SOT-23-5 space-constrained packaging.
Technical Context
The AP2202R-3.3TRE1 integrates a bandgap reference, error amplifier, and PMOS pass transistor to deliver stable 3.3V output with ultra-low dropout and minimal thermal drift. Its internal architecture enables fast transient response and eliminates external compensation components.
It features CMOS/TTL-compatible enable input (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.4V), bypass capacitor terminal for noise filtering, and built-in protections including thermal shutdown, overcurrent limiting (320–550mA), and reverse current blocking-ensuring robust operation in battery-powered systems.
Key Specifications

| Max Output Current | 150mA (supports moderate-power RF front-ends and baseband processors) |
| 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 supply ripple from switching converters feeding the LDO) |
| Output Noise | 260nV/√Hz (minimizes phase noise in VCOs and local oscillators) |
| Shutdown Current | 1µA max (extends battery life in standby modes of portable transceivers) |

| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Power and signal return; connects to PCB ground plane for noise control |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; <0.4V disables regulator, ≥2.0V enables-compatible with MCU GPIO |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ULDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-3302E/TO | 3.3V fixed, 250mA, 600mV dropout at 250mA, 1.6µA quiescent current | Higher dropout limits use in sub-3.6V battery systems; lower PSRR (60dB @ 100Hz) | Select when higher output current is needed and input headroom exceeds 0.6V |
| Torex XC6206P332MR-G | 3.3V fixed, 150mA, 250mV dropout at 150mA, 1µA shutdown, no BYP pin | Lacks dedicated bypass pin-limits high-frequency noise suppression capability | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 260nV/√Hz noise performance is not critical |
Compared with MCP1700-3302E/TO and XC6206P332MR-G, the AP2202R-3.3TRE1 uniquely combines 165mV dropout, 260nV/√Hz noise, and a dedicated BYP pin-making it optimal for RF and precision analog supply domains where both headroom and spectral purity are constrained.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2202R-3.3TRE1 to maintain regulation at 150mA?
The minimum input voltage is 3.465V-calculated as VOUT + VDROP = 3.3V + 0.165V. Below this, output voltage drops by more than 1% at +25°C. For reliable margin across temperature and load, Diodes recommends VIN ≥ VOUT + 0.5V (i.e., ≥3.8V) per the datasheet's operating guidance.
Does AP2202R-3.3TRE1 require an external bypass capacitor, and what value is specified?
Yes-a 100pF capacitor must be placed between the BYP pin and GND. This capacitor reduces high-frequency output noise and improves PSRR above 10kHz. The datasheet specifies 100pF as the optimal value; larger values degrade noise performance due to parasitic resonance effects.
How does the reverse current protection function in AP2202R-3.3TRE1?
The device incorporates an internal MOSFET-based blocking mechanism that prevents current flow from VOUT to VIN when VIN is absent or below VOUT. This eliminates backfeed paths in multi-rail systems-critical for USB-powered peripherals and hot-swap applications where uncontrolled reverse conduction could damage upstream sources.
Can AP2202R-3.3TRE1 be used with ceramic output capacitors, and what is the minimum recommended value?
Yes-it is fully stable with ceramic output capacitors. The datasheet specifies a minimum 2.2µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor at VOUT, with ESR ≤ 100mΩ. Using smaller values or high-ESR electrolytics risks instability and overshoot during load transients, particularly in RF supply applications.
