Product details
Overview
AP2204K-2.8TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 2.8V 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 subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the AP2204K-2.8TRG1 datasheet, AP2204K-2.8TRG1 pinout, AP2204K-2.8TRG1 application, or AP2204K-2.8TRG1 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-2.8TRG1 integrates a precision 1.24V bandgap reference, error amplifier, resistor network for fixed 2.8V 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 in dropout when VIN falls below VOUT + 1V (i.e., <3.8V), triggering thermal shutdown above +150°C junction temperature. The EN pin accepts 2.0V "high" and 0.4V "low" logic levels, supporting controlled power sequencing in battery-backed systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8V ±2% - ensures stable supply for 2.8V I/O rails and low-voltage sensors without external feedback. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.6V to 24V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), multi-cell alkaline, and industrial 12/24V bus inputs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV @ 100µA - enables regulation down to 2.9V input, critical for end-of-battery-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 monitoring circuits. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at TJ ≥ +150°C - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(H) ≥ 2.0V, VEN(L) ≤ 0.4V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package: 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.3mm body, thermally enhanced with exposed pad connected to GND per datasheet Note 4; suitable for high-density portable PCB layouts.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | Main input supply connection; must be decoupled with ≥1.0µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; tied to exposed pad for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| 3 | EN | Active-high enable; pulls device into ultra-low-IQ shutdown mode (<1.0µA) when driven low. |
| 4 | ADJ/NC | No-connect for fixed 2.8V version; recommended tied to GND to maximize thermal copper area. |
| 5 | VOUT | Regulated 2.8V output; requires ≥2.2µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide input range (2.6–24V) | Eliminates need for pre-regulation in mixed-voltage systems, e.g., automotive accessory ports or multi-battery packs. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current (20µA) | Extends battery life in always-on IoT nodes where sleep-mode current dominates total energy budget. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatible | Enables use of compact, high-reliability 0402/0603 MLCCs instead of larger, aging-prone tantalum capacitors. |
| Thermal shutdown + current limit | Provides autonomous fault containment during short-circuit or overtemperature events without external circuitry. |
| ±2% output accuracy | Meets tight tolerance requirements for ADC reference supplies and precision analog front-ends. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ULDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2802E/TT | 250mA max output, 175mV dropout @ 250mA, 3.5µA IQ, SOT-23-3 (no EN pin) | Lacks enable control and thermal shutdown; limited to simpler always-on loads. | Select when board space is constrained and enable sequencing is unnecessary. |
| TPS7A0528PDBVR | 200mA max output, 175mV dropout @ 200mA, 25µA IQ, active-low EN, 1% accuracy | Tighter accuracy and lower dropout at full load, but EN polarity differs and PSRR is 45dB @ 1kHz. | Prefer when higher accuracy and load capability outweigh PSRR and enable compatibility trade-offs. |
Compared with MCP1700T-2802E/TT and TPS7A0528PDBVR, the AP2204K-2.8TRG1 offers superior PSRR and integrated thermal protection at the cost of slightly higher dropout at 150mA, making it optimal for noise-sensitive, thermally challenged portable designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 2.8V output?
The AP2204K-2.8TRG1 requires VIN ≥ VOUT + 1V = 3.8V for guaranteed regulation under all conditions. Below 3.8V, dropout occurs and output voltage tracks VIN minus dropout voltage; datasheet specifies 100mV dropout at 100µA, rising to 360mV at 150mA.
Can the AP2204K-2.8TRG1 drive a 150mA load continuously in SOT-23-5 package?
Yes, but thermal design is critical: θJA = 250°C/W. At 150mA and 24V input, power dissipation reaches ~3.18W, raising junction temperature by ~795°C above ambient - exceeding absolute maximum TJ. Practical continuous load is ≤50mA without heatsinking; derate linearly above +85°C ambient.
Is an external capacitor required on the ADJ/NC pin for the fixed 2.8V version?
No. Pin 4 (ADJ/NC) is internally disconnected in fixed-output variants. Diodes recommends connecting it to GND to improve thermal conduction via PCB copper, not for functionality - no capacitor or resistor is needed or specified.
Does the AP2204K-2.8TRG1 meet AEC-Q200 for automotive use?
No. The AP2204K-2.8TRG1 is rated for -40°C to +85°C operation and is not qualified to AEC-Q200. Diodes offers automotive-grade alternatives (e.g., AP7361Q series) with PPAP support, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and extended temperature screening.
