Product details
Overview
AP2204K-3.3TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 3.3V 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-3.3TRG1 datasheet, AP2204K-3.3TRG1 pinout, AP2204K-3.3TRG1 application, or AP2204K-3.3TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (2.6V–24V), thermal shutdown behavior, enable logic thresholds (EN high ≥2.0V, low ≤0.4V), and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors down to 2.2µF.
Technical Context
The AP2204K-3.3TRG1 integrates a precision 1.24V bandgap reference, error amplifier, resistor feedback network, current-limit protection, and chip-enable circuitry. Its EPNP-based architecture enables stable regulation across wide input ranges while maintaining ultra-low quiescent current.
It operates in dropout when VIN < VOUT + 1V (per datasheet Note 9), features thermal shutdown at TJ ≈ +150°C, and supports fast transient response with typical 200mV output deviation during 1mA→150mA load steps - validated in Figure 8 of DS37168 Rev. 6-3.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2% (±66mV) ensures reliable MCU core/logic rail compliance without external resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.6V to 24V supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), multi-cell alkaline, and industrial 12V/24V bus inputs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV @ 100µA; 360mV @ 150mA - enables regulation from 3.66V input at full load for 3.3V rail. |
| PSRR | 60dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Ground Current | 20µA @ IOUT = 0A; 2.5mA @ 150mA - minimizes standby power loss in battery-critical systems. |
| Enable Threshold | EN "high" ≥2.0V, "low" ≤0.4V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIOs without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at TJ ≈ +150°C - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package (3.0mm × 1.7mm × 1.3mm), thermally enhanced with exposed pad connected to GND per datasheet recommendation for optimal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: VIN | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.6–24V; must be decoupled with ≥1.0µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 2: GND | Power ground reference | Common return for VIN, VOUT, EN; ties to exposed pad for thermal conduction. |
| 3: EN | Active-high enable input | Pull ≥2.0V to activate regulator; ≤0.4V disables output and reduces IQ to 0.01µA. |
| 4: ADJ/NC | Adjust/No-connect terminal | No internal connection for fixed 3.3V version; tie to GND to maximize thermal copper area. |
| 5: VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 3.3V ±2%; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic output capacitor for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 20µA at zero load enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell–powered sensors. |
| Low-noise operation | 30µVrms integrated noise (10Hz–100kHz) preserves signal integrity in ADC reference or RF bias rails. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatible | Stable with 2.2µF X5R/X7R ceramics - eliminates costly tantalum or electrolytic alternatives. |
| High line/load regulation | 0.05% line regulation and 0.5% load regulation minimize output drift across operating conditions. |
| Thermal and current protection | Internal foldback current limit and thermal shutdown prevent damage during fault conditions. |
Applications
| USB-Powered Portable Instrumentation | Low-Power Microcontroller Core Rail |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ULDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3302E/TT | 250mA max output, 175mV dropout @ 250mA, 3µA IQ, SOT-23-3 (no EN) | Lacks enable pin; higher dropout limits use below 3.475V input at full load. | Select when EN functionality is unnecessary and lower IQ is critical. |
| Torex XC6206P332MR-G | 150mA max, 160mV dropout @ 100mA, 1µA IQ, SOT-23-3 (no EN), ±2% accuracy | No enable; smaller 1.2mm × 1.0mm footprint but no thermal pad; lower PSRR (50dB @ 1kHz). | Choose for ultra-low-IQ space-constrained designs where EN and PSRR are secondary. |
Compared with MCP1700T-3302E/TT and XC6206P332MR-G, the AP2204K-3.3TRG1 uniquely combines EN control, 60dB PSRR, and thermal pad in SOT-23-5 - making it optimal for noise-sensitive, firmware-managed portable systems requiring robust thermal performance.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 3.3V output?
The datasheet specifies minimum input as the larger of 2.6V or VOUT + 1V - so for 3.3V output, minimum VIN is 4.3V. Below this, the device enters dropout and output voltage drops linearly with input. This ensures stable regulation across temperature and load variations.
Can AP2204K-3.3TRG1 operate with a 1µF input and 1µF output capacitor?
No. The datasheet mandates ≥1.0µF ceramic input and ≥2.2µF ceramic output capacitance for stability. Using only 1µF on output risks oscillation under load transients, as confirmed in Typical Application Circuits (page 3) and stability testing in Figure 12.
Is the exposed pad on the SOT-23-5 package electrically connected?
Yes - the exposed pad is internally connected to GND per Diodes' recommended layout (page 15). It must be soldered to a PCB thermal pad tied to the main GND plane to achieve specified θJA = 250°C/W and prevent thermal shutdown under 150mA load.
Does AP2204K-3.3TRG1 support reverse polarity protection?
No. The device lacks intrinsic reverse-voltage blocking; applying negative voltage to VIN or VOUT relative to GND may cause latch-up or permanent damage. External protection (e.g., series Schottky diode) is required in systems prone to reverse connection.
