Product details
Overview
AP2204K-2.5TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 2.5V ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator in SOT-23-5 package, delivering up to 150mA output current with 100mV dropout at 100µA load, 60dB PSRR at 1kHz, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and 20µA ground current at zero load - deployed in USB-powered portable instrumentation and low-power microcontroller power rails.
For engineers reviewing the AP2204K-2.5TRG1 datasheet, AP2204K-2.5TRG1 pinout, AP2204K-2.5TRG1 application, or AP2204K-2.5TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (2.6V–24V), thermal shutdown behavior, enable pin logic thresholds, ceramic capacitor compatibility, and junction temperature derating above +85°C.
Technical Context
The AP2204K-2.5TRG1 integrates a precision 1.24V bandgap reference, error amplifier, resistor network for fixed 2.5V output, current-limit protection, and active-high enable circuitry. Its EPNP process enables wide VIN operation while maintaining low quiescent current and high ripple rejection.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature, supports ceramic output capacitors ≥2.2µF, and features thermal shutdown triggered at TJ > +150°C. Dropout voltage rises predictably with load: 320mV at 100mA and 360mV at 150mA under typical conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±2% (±50mV tolerance) ensures stable MCU core or sensor biasing without external feedback. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.6V to 24V allows direct use with single Li-ion, multi-cell alkaline, or industrial 12V/24V rails. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA continuous (200mA peak) supports low-power SoCs, BLE modules, and analog front-ends. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV @ 100µA; 360mV @ 150mA - enables regulation even when VIN approaches VOUT + 0.36V. |
| PSRR | 60dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding the LDO. |
| Ground Current | 20µA @ IOUT = 0A; 2.5mA @ 150mA - minimizes standby power loss in battery-critical systems. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(H) ≥ 2.0V, VEN(L) ≤ 0.4V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIOs for precise power sequencing control. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package (3.1mm × 1.7mm × 1.3mm), thermally enhanced with exposed pad connected to GND per datasheet Note 6 for optimal dissipation (θJA = 250°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.6–24V; requires 1.0µF ceramic input capacitor placed near pin for stability. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Common return for VIN, VOUT, EN, and ADJ/NC; must be tied to exposed pad for thermal performance. |
| 3 - EN | Active-high enable input | Pull ≥2.0V to enable regulation; pull ≤0.4V to enter 1.0µA standby mode. |
| 4 - ADJ/NC | Adjust/No-connect terminal | No internal connection for fixed 2.5V version; recommend tying to GND to maximize PCB copper area. |
| 5 - VOUT | Regulated output node | Delivers 2.5V ±2%; requires 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor with ESR < 100mΩ. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 20µA at zero load enables >1-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors. |
| Low-noise output | 30µVrms RMS noise (10Hz–100kHz) prevents interference in ADC references or RF bias rails. |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Auto-shutdown at TJ > +150°C prevents damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatible | Stable with low-ESR ceramics ≥2.2µF - eliminates need for costly tantalum or electrolytic caps. |
| High line/load regulation | 0.05% line regulation and 0.5% load regulation ensure consistent voltage across varying input and load conditions. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2502E/TT | 250mA max output, 170mV dropout @ 250mA, 3.5µA IQ, SOT-23-3 (no enable) | Lacks enable pin and thermal shutdown; unsuitable for sequenced or fault-tolerant systems | Select only if enable and thermal protection are unnecessary and higher output current is required. |
| TPS7A0525PDQNR | 200mA max, 175mV dropout @ 200mA, 25nA IQ, 1.5mm × 1.5mm X2SON package | Lower IQ but smaller footprint and no exposed pad; limited thermal mass for >100mA continuous loads | Prefer for space-constrained wearables where ultra-low standby dominates thermal design. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable 2.5V regulation?
The minimum input voltage is the greater of 2.6V or VOUT + 1V - so 3.5V is required to maintain regulation at full 150mA load. Below that, dropout occurs and output voltage drops linearly with input. At light loads (e.g., 100µA), regulation holds down to 2.6V due to the 100mV dropout spec.
Can AP2204K-2.5TRG1 be used with a 1µF output capacitor?
No - the datasheet specifies a minimum 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor for stability. Using 1µF risks oscillation or poor transient response, especially under load steps. The 2.2µF value ensures phase margin >45° and damping of LC peaking with typical PCB parasitics.
Is the exposed pad on the SOT-23-5 package electrically connected?
Yes - the exposed pad is internally connected to GND (per datasheet Note 6). It must be soldered to a PCB thermal pad tied to the system ground plane to achieve specified θJA = 250°C/W and enable thermal shutdown functionality. Leaving it floating degrades thermal performance and may cause premature shutdown.
Does AP2204K-2.5TRG1 support reverse polarity protection?
No - the device lacks integrated reverse-voltage protection. Applying reversed input voltage (e.g., –0.3V on VIN) exceeds absolute maximum ratings and may cause latch-up or permanent damage. An external series Schottky diode or ideal diode controller is required for reverse-polarity resilience.
