Product details
Overview
AP2204K-1.5TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 1.5V, 150mA ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator in SOT-23-5 package, fabricated using high-voltage EPNP process. It delivers ±2% output voltage accuracy, 100mV dropout at 100µA load, 60dB PSRR at 1kHz, and 20µA ground current at zero load-enabling stable power for USB peripherals and portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the AP2204K-1.5TRG1 datasheet, AP2204K-1.5TRG1 pinout, AP2204K-1.5TRG1 application, or AP2204K-1.5TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (2.6–24V), thermal shutdown protection, compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors, and enable-controlled power sequencing in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The AP2204K-1.5TRG1 integrates a precision 1.24V reference, error amplifier, resistor network for fixed 1.5V output, current-limit circuitry, and chip-enable logic. Its EPNP-based architecture enables wide VIN operation while maintaining low quiescent current and high ripple rejection.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature, supports 1.5V output with ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and features thermal shutdown triggered by internal junction temperature exceeding +150°C-ensuring robustness in thermally demanding portable applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5V ±2% - ensures stable core or I/O rail for low-voltage microcontrollers and sensors. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - sufficient for powering single-chip USB devices, PMIC subsystems, or RF front-end biasing. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV @ 100µA - enables regulation from 1.6V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or alkaline battery end-of-life operation. |
| PSRR | 60dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Ground Current | 20µA @ IOUT = 0A - minimizes standby power loss in always-on battery-backed circuits. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.6V to 24V - accommodates wide-input industrial supplies, automotive accessory rails, and multi-cell battery stacks. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(H) ≥ 2.0V, VEN(L) ≤ 0.4V - compatible with standard 1.8V/3.3V GPIO for precise system-level power control. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package (3.1mm × 1.7mm × 1.3mm), RoHS-compliant and halogen-free "Green" construction with exposed pad connected to GND for thermal enhancement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.6–24V; requires 1.0µF ceramic input capacitor placed close to pin for stability. |
| 2 (GND) | Power ground reference | Common return path for input/output currents; connects to PCB thermal pad for heat dissipation. |
| 3 (EN) | Active-high enable input | Pulls low (<0.4V) to disable regulator; draws only 1µA leakage when active, enabling low-power wake-up control. |
| 4 (ADJ/NC) | Adjust/No-connect terminal | No internal connection for fixed 1.5V version; recommended tied to GND to maximize thermal copper area on PCB. |
| 5 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.5V ±2% with <0.5% load regulation (1–150mA); requires 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 20µA at zero load - extends battery life in IoT sensors and wearables operating in deep-sleep modes. |
| Low-noise output | 30µVrms RMS noise (10Hz–100kHz) - suitable for powering analog signal chains and ADC reference supplies. |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Activates at TJ ≥ +150°C - prevents catastrophic failure during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatible | Stable with ≥1.0µF X5R/X7R input and ≥2.2µF output - eliminates need for costly tantalum or electrolytic capacitors. |
| High line/load regulation | 0.05% line regulation, 0.5% load regulation - maintains tight voltage tolerance across varying input and load conditions. |
Applications
| USB Peripheral Power | Portable Medical Sensor |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low dropout regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1502E/TT | 150mA, 1.5V fixed, 6µA IQ, SOT-23-3 - no enable pin, lower IQ but no EN control. | Lacks enable functionality; unsuitable for power-gated systems requiring dynamic LDO control. | Select when minimal quiescent current is primary and enable control is unnecessary. |
| TPS70615DBVR | 150mA, 1.5V fixed, 1.3µA IQ, SOT-23-5 - includes EN, but 200mV dropout @ 100µA (vs. 100mV). | Higher dropout limits usable input range in low-VIN battery applications. | Prefer when ultra-low IQ dominates over dropout performance in long-duration standby use cases. |
Compared with MCP1700T-1502E/TT and TPS70615DBVR, the AP2204K-1.5TRG1 uniquely balances 100mV dropout, 20µA ground current, and integrated enable-making it optimal for battery-powered systems requiring both low-VIN headroom and precise power sequencing.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable 1.5V output regulation?
The AP2204K-1.5TRG1 requires VIN ≥ VOUT + 1V = 2.5V for guaranteed regulation, though its absolute minimum rated input is 2.6V. Below 2.5V, the device enters dropout, where output voltage drops linearly with input-verified per Recommended Operating Conditions (Note 9) and Electrical Characteristics tables.
Can the AP2204K-1.5TRG1 be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 2.2µF?
No-Diodes specifies a minimum 2.2µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor on VOUT for stability across temperature and load. Using smaller values risks oscillation or degraded transient response, as confirmed in Typical Application Circuits and Stability section of DS37168 Rev. 6–3.
Is the ADJ/NC pin required to be connected externally?
For the fixed 1.5V AP2204K-1.5TRG1, the ADJ/NC pin is internally unconnected. Diodes recommends tying it to GND to maximize PCB copper area for thermal conduction-explicitly stated in Pin Descriptions (Note 4) and confirmed in SOT-23-5 pin assignment diagrams.
Does this part meet AEC-Q200 for automotive use?
No-the AP2204K-1.5TRG1 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. The datasheet notes that automotive-grade versions require specific change control (PPAP, IATF 16949 manufacturing) and must be requested separately; this variant is rated for –40°C to +85°C ambient and intended for industrial and consumer applications.
