Product details
Overview
AP2204R-2.5TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 2.5V ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator in SOT-89 package, designed for space-constrained portable electronics. 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 subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the AP2204R-2.5TRG1 datasheet, AP2204R-2.5TRG1 pinout, AP2204R-2.5TRG1 application, or AP2204R-2.5TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout behavior under light-load conditions, thermal performance in SOT-89 Option 1 layout, compatibility with ceramic output capacitors, and enable-input logic thresholds for power sequencing control.
Technical Context
The AP2204R-2.5TRG1 integrates a precision 1.24V bandgap reference, error amplifier, resistor feedback network, current-limit protection, and chip-enable circuitry-all fabricated using high-voltage EPNP process. Its internal architecture enables stable regulation down to 100mV headroom while maintaining low ground current (20µA no-load) and low noise (30µVrms).
It features thermal shutdown, excellent line/load regulation (<0.05% and <0.5% respectively), and supports operation from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. The SOT-89 Option 1 pinout places VIN on Pin 1 and GND on Pins 2 & 3, with VOUT on Pin 3-requiring exposed pad connection to GND per Note 4 for optimal thermal dissipation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±2% - ensures stable rail for 2.5V logic, ADC references, and sensor biasing without external resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.6V to 24V - supports wide-source applications including automotive accessory rails, industrial 12/24V systems, and multi-cell battery packs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV @ 100µA - enables regulation even when input falls to 2.6V, critical for battery end-of-life operation. |
| PSRR | 60dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding sensitive analog circuits. |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA @ no load - extends runtime in always-on monitoring nodes and low-power IoT endpoints. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 165°C/W (SOT-89) - requires minimum 1.5cm² copper pour under exposed pad to sustain 150mA at +85°C ambient. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(HI) ≥2.0V, VEN(LO) ≤0.4V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO for controlled power-up sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-89 (Option 1) package with exposed thermal pad connected to GND (per Note 4). Compact 4.6mm × 2.6mm footprint, 1.6mm height, suitable for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | Main input supply connection; must be decoupled with ≥1.0µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference; tied to exposed pad for thermal conduction and noise reduction. |
| 3 | VOUT | Regulated 2.5V output; requires ≥2.2µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 20µA no-load ground current enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell–powered sensors. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatible | Stable with 2.2µF X5R/X7R ceramics - eliminates need for costly tantalum or electrolytic output caps. |
| High accuracy output | ±2% over –40°C to +125°C - reduces calibration overhead in precision data acquisition front-ends. |
| Integrated enable function | Logic-level EN pin allows microcontroller-controlled power gating with sub-1µA standby current. |
| Robust protection suite | Current limit + thermal shutdown prevent damage during short-circuit or overload events in unattended systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ULDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2502E/TT | 250mA rated, 175mV dropout @ 250mA, 3.5µA IQ, SOT-23-3 package | Lacks enable pin and thermal shutdown; lower max input (13.2V) | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-current (<100mA), non-sequenced applications where footprint is primary constraint. |
| TPS7A2025PDQNR | 300mA rated, 130mV dropout @ 300mA, 6.5µA IQ, WSON-6 package | Higher PSRR (75dB @ 1kHz), integrated soft-start, AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified | Choose for automotive-grade designs requiring higher current, better noise rejection, or qualification compliance. |
Compared with MCP1700T-2502E/TT, AP2204R-2.5TRG1 offers enable control and thermal protection at lower cost; versus TPS7A2025PDQNR, it trades PSRR and qualification for wider input range (24V vs 6V) and lower price in non-automotive use cases.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for AP2204R-2.5TRG1?
A minimum 1.0µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of the VIN and GND pins is required for stability and transient response. Larger values (e.g., 4.7µF) improve ripple rejection but do not affect regulation-no ESR requirements apply due to internal compensation.
Can AP2204R-2.5TRG1 be used with a 2.7V lithium-thionyl chloride battery?
Yes. With a minimum input of 2.6V and 100mV dropout at light loads, AP2204R-2.5TRG1 regulates reliably down to 2.6V-fully supporting LiSOCl₂ cells that discharge from 3.6V to ~2.7V, extending usable battery capacity by preserving operation through end-of-life voltage.
Is the exposed pad on the SOT-89 package electrically connected?
Yes-the exposed pad is internally connected to GND (per Note 4). It must be soldered to a dedicated GND plane with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) to achieve the specified θJA = 165°C/W and prevent thermal shutdown at full 150mA load in +85°C ambient.
Does AP2204R-2.5TRG1 require an output capacitor for stability?
Yes. A minimum 2.2µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor is mandatory at the VOUT pin, placed adjacent to the device. This capacitor provides loop stability, improves load-transient response, and reduces output noise-omitting it causes oscillation and regulation failure.
