Product details
Overview
AP2204R-2.8TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 2.8 V, 150 mA ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator in SOT-89 package, featuring 2.6 V to 24 V input range, 100 mV dropout at 100 µA, 60 dB PSRR at 1 kHz, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and thermal shutdown protection-designed for USB-powered portable instrumentation and low-power embedded subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the AP2204R-2.8TRG1 datasheet, AP2204R-2.8TRG1 pinout, AP2204R-2.8TRG1 application, or AP2204R-2.8TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance under light-load conditions, ground current vs. load behavior, compatibility with ceramic output capacitors, and thermal dissipation capability in space-constrained SOT-89 layouts.
Technical Context
The AP2204R-2.8TRG1 integrates a precision 1.24 V bandgap reference, error amplifier, resistor network for fixed 2.8 V output, current-limit circuitry, and enable-controlled startup logic. Its EPNP process enables wide VIN operation while maintaining low quiescent current.
It operates in dropout when VIN falls below VOUT + 1 V (i.e., <3.8 V), with dropout voltage rising predictably from 100 mV at 100 µA to 360 mV at 150 mA. The EN pin accepts TTL-compatible logic levels (VIH ≥2.0 V, VIL ≤0.4 V) and draws ≤1 µA in active state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8 V ±2% - ensures stable biasing for 2.8 V logic rails and analog sensors without external feedback. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.6 V to 24 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), multi-cell alkaline, and industrial 12/24 V supplies. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA - sufficient for microcontroller cores, RF transceivers, and small display drivers in portable systems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100 mV @ 100 µA - enables regulation down to 2.9 V input, critical for battery end-of-life operation. |
| PSRR | 60 dB @ 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding the LDO. |
| Quiescent Current | 20 µA @ IOUT = 0 A - minimizes standby power loss in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 165 °C/W (SOT-89) - requires PCB copper pour on exposed pad (connected to GND) for >100 mA continuous operation. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-89 package (Option 1) with exposed pad connected to GND per Note 4; 3-pin configuration optimized for thermal performance in compact PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | Main input supply connection; must be decoupled with ≥1.0 µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 2 | VOUT | Regulated 2.8 V output; requires ≥2.2 µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor for stability and transient response. |
| 3 | GND | Power ground reference; tied to exposed pad for thermal conduction and noise reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 20 µA at zero load - extends battery life in IoT endpoint sleep modes. |
| Low-noise regulation | 30 µVrms output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) - suitable for ADC reference and RF front-end biasing. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatible | Stable with ≥2.2 µF X5R/X7R ceramics - eliminates need for costly tantalum or electrolytic capacitors. |
| Enable control | EN pin with 1 µA max input current and 0.4 V/2.0 V logic thresholds - enables system-level power sequencing. |
| Thermal shutdown | Activates at TJ ≥ +150 °C - prevents damage during overload or poor heatsinking conditions. |
Applications
| USB-Powered Sensor Node | Portable Medical Monitor |

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 | 250 mA rated, 170 mV dropout @ 250 mA, 3.5 µA IQ, SOT-23-3 (no EN) | Lacks enable control and has higher dropout above 100 mA; better for cost-sensitive non-sequenced designs. | Select when board space is tighter (SOT-23-3) and enable functionality is unnecessary. |
| TPS7A2028PDQNR | 300 mA rated, 130 mV dropout @ 300 mA, 6.5 µA IQ, WSON-6 (EN + PG) | Includes power-good flag and lower noise (7 µVrms); requires larger footprint and different layout. | Choose when system-level fault reporting and sub-10 µVrms noise are required for high-precision analog. |
Compared with MCP1700T-2802E/TT and TPS7A2028PDQNR, the AP2204R-2.8TRG1 uniquely balances 150 mA capability, 100 mV ultra-low-light-load dropout, and SOT-89 thermal performance-making it optimal for thermally constrained portable devices needing precise 2.8 V regulation without PG or ultra-low-noise overhead.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 2.8 V output?
The AP2204R-2.8TRG1 requires VIN ≥ VOUT + 1 V = 3.8 V for guaranteed regulation under all loads and temperatures. Below this, dropout occurs-output voltage tracks VIN minus dropout voltage. At 100 µA load, regulation holds down to 2.9 V input due to 100 mV dropout, but full 150 mA capability requires ≥3.8 V.
Can the AP2204R-2.8TRG1 be used with a 1 µF input and 2.2 µF output ceramic capacitor?
Yes-the AP2204R-2.8TRG1 is explicitly characterized and stable with 1.0 µF X5R/X7R input and 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitors, as confirmed in the Typical Applications Circuit and Electrical Characteristics table. No ESR requirements or damping resistors are needed.
Is the exposed pad on the SOT-89 package electrically connected, and how should it be routed?
Yes-the exposed pad on the SOT-89 (Option 1) is internally connected to GND (per Note 4). It must be soldered to a PCB copper pour tied to the main GND plane to achieve the specified θJA = 165 °C/W and prevent thermal shutdown during 100+ mA operation.
Does the AP2204R-2.8TRG1 have reverse polarity or reverse current protection?
No-the AP2204R-2.8TRG1 lacks internal reverse-polarity or reverse-current blocking. If VIN can fall below VOUT (e.g., during hot-swap or battery removal), an external Schottky diode in series with VIN is recommended to prevent backfeed and potential damage.
