Product details
Overview
AP2204R-1.5TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 1.5V ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator in SOT-89 package, designed for space-constrained portable systems requiring stable low-voltage biasing. It delivers up to 150mA output current with 100mV dropout at 100µA load, 60dB PSRR at 1kHz, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and operates across 2.6V–24V input range-ideal for USB-powered instrumentation and battery-backed microcontroller I/O rails.
For engineers reviewing the AP2204R-1.5TRG1 datasheet, AP2204R-1.5TRG1 pinout, AP2204R-1.5TRG1 application, or AP2204R-1.5TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at light loads, thermal behavior in SOT-89 Option 1 layout, EN pin logic thresholds, ground current vs. load profile, and compatibility with 1µF ceramic input/2.2µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP2204R-1.5TRG1 integrates a precision 1.24V bandgap reference, error amplifier, resistor network for fixed 1.5V output, thermal shutdown circuitry, and enable-controlled pass transistor. Its EPNP-based high-voltage process enables operation up to 24V input while maintaining low quiescent current and tight line/load regulation.
It features internal current limiting (250mA absolute max), thermal foldback protection, and an enable input compatible with 2.0V logic-high threshold. The SOT-89 Option 1 pinout places VIN on Pin 1, GND on Pin 2, and VOUT on Pin 3-requiring substrate connection to GND per Note 4 for optimal thermal dissipation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5V ±2% (±30mV) - ensures stable core voltage for low-power MCUs and sensors without external feedback. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.6V to 24V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive auxiliary rails, including 12V battery systems with transient tolerance. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV @ 100µA load - enables regulation down to VIN = 1.6V, critical for battery end-of-life operation in portable devices. |
| PSRR | 60dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding sensitive analog or RF subsystems. |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA @ zero load - extends battery life in always-on monitoring circuits and IoT endpoint sleep modes. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(HI) = 2.0V min, VEN(LO) = 0.4V max - interfaces directly with 3.3V/1.8V GPIO without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 165°C/W (SOT-89) - requires minimum 1.5cm² copper pour connected to exposed pad (Pin 2/GND) for 150mA continuous operation. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-89 package (Option 1) with exposed pad thermally connected to Pin 2 (GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to ≥1.5cm² PCB copper area for thermal management per datasheet Note 4.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | Main input supply connection; must be decoupled with ≥1.0µF ceramic capacitor close to pin. |
| 2 | GND | Power ground and thermal pad anchor; connects internally to exposed substrate for heat conduction. |
| 3 | VOUT | Regulated 1.5V output; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor with ESR < 100mΩ for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 100mV @ 100µA enables operation with minimal headroom-critical for single-cell Li-ion or coin-cell applications. |
| Low-noise regulation | 30µVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz) preserves signal integrity in ADC reference or op-amp biasing paths. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatible | Stable with 1µF input / 2.2µF output ceramics-eliminates need for costly tantalum or electrolytic capacitors. |
| Thermal shutdown | Activates at +150°C junction temperature and auto-recovers-prevents permanent damage during overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Lead-free & green | Fully RoHS 3 compliant (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb); suitable for consumer, industrial, and automotive-qualified designs. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ULDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1502E/TT | 150mA max, 1.5V fixed, SOT-23-3; higher dropout (260mV @ 100mA), no enable pin. | Lacks EN control and thermal shutdown; limited to low-power always-on use cases without sequencing. | Select when board space is constrained to SOT-23-3 and enable functionality is unnecessary. |
| TPS7A2015PDQNR | 300mA max, 1.5V fixed, X2SON-4; lower dropout (175mV @ 100mA), 25µA IQ, integrated EN. | Better thermal performance (θJA = 120°C/W) but requires tighter layout control for 0.65mm pitch. | Prefer for higher-current or thermally demanding layouts where X2SON-4 footprint is acceptable. |
Compared with MCP1700T-1502E/TT, AP2204R-1.5TRG1 adds enable control and thermal protection at cost of larger SOT-89 footprint; versus TPS7A2015PDQNR, it trades higher thermal resistance for broader input range (24V vs. 6V) and proven robustness in industrial transients.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current for AP2204R-1.5TRG1 in SOT-89 package?
The AP2204R-1.5TRG1 supports 150mA continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TJ ≤ +125°C, θJA = 165°C/W, 1.5cm² thermal pad). At 150mA, dropout rises to 500mV; derating is required above +85°C ambient unless additional copper area or airflow is provided.
Can AP2204R-1.5TRG1 be used with input voltages below 2.6V?
No-minimum recommended input is the greater of 2.6V or VOUT + 1V (i.e., 2.5V). Below 2.6V, regulation ceases and output collapses into dropout; the device does not guarantee specification compliance or thermal safety in this region per Recommended Operating Conditions.
Is the exposed pad on SOT-89 Option 1 electrically connected, and how should it be handled?
Yes-the exposed pad is internally connected to Pin 2 (GND) per datasheet Note 4. It must be soldered to a ≥1.5cm² PCB copper pour tied to system ground to achieve rated θJA = 165°C/W and prevent thermal shutdown during 150mA operation.
Does AP2204R-1.5TRG1 require an external capacitor on the ADJ pin?
No-AP2204R-1.5TRG1 is a fixed-output variant; the ADJ pin is not present. Only adjustable versions (e.g., AP2204K-ADJTRG1) use the ADJ pin. For this part, no external resistors or capacitors are needed beyond the mandatory 1.0µF input and 2.2µF output ceramic capacitors.
