Product details
Overview
AP2205-28W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 2.8V ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator IC designed for space-constrained portable and battery-powered systems. It delivers up to 200mA output current with 100mV dropout at 100µA load, 60dB PSRR at 1kHz, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and 36µA ground current at light load-enabling stable power for USB peripherals and low-power microcontrollers.
For engineers reviewing the AP2205-28W5-7 datasheet, AP2205-28W5-7 pinout, AP2205-28W5-7 application, or AP2205-28W5-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.3V–24V input range, thermal shutdown, reverse current protection, SOT25 package footprint, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors in high-efficiency LDO designs.
Technical Context
The AP2205-28W5-7 integrates a precision 1.24V bandgap reference, error amplifier, and current-limit circuit within a high-voltage EPNP process. Its internal resistor network fixes VOUT at 2.8V with ±2% tolerance over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
It features active enable control (EN pin), ultra-low quiescent current (≤1µA in shutdown), and built-in protections including overcurrent, overtemperature, and reverse-current blocking-making it suitable for always-on subsystems requiring reliable start-up and fault resilience.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8V ±2% - ensures stable rail for 2.8V logic, sensors, or RF front-ends without external feedback. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3V to 24V - supports single-cell Li-ion, multi-cell alkaline, and industrial 12V/24V supplies. |
| Max Output Current | 200mA @ VOUT ≥ 2.3V - sufficient for MCU cores, BLE radios, and small displays. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV @ IOUT = 100µA - enables regulation down to VIN = 2.9V, extending battery runtime. |
| PSRR | 60dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding the LDO. |
| Ground Current | 36µA @ IOUT = 100µA - minimizes standby power loss in battery-critical applications. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Active at TJ ≈ +150°C - prevents damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (SC-74A) package: 5-pin surface-mount, 1.6mm × 2.8mm footprint, 1.1mm height, lead-free matte tin plating, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.3–24V; requires 1.0µF ceramic input capacitor for stability. |
| 2 (GND) | Power ground reference | Common return path for regulator core, EN, and output; must be low-impedance. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic: ≥2.0V enables regulation; ≤0.4V disables output and reduces IQ to 0.01µA. |
| 4 (ADJ/NC) | Adjust pin / No-connect | No-connect for fixed 2.8V version; left floating or grounded per layout best practice. |
| 5 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 2.8V ±2%; requires 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor for transient response and PSRR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide input voltage range | 2.3V–24V enables single-part support across battery chemistries and industrial rails. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 36µA typical at light load extends shelf life and runtime in IoT endpoints. |
| Reverse current protection | Blocks backflow from VOUT to VIN during shutdown or input brownout-no external diode needed. |
| Low-ESR capacitor compatible | Stable with 2.2µF X5R/X7R ceramics-reduces BOM count and board area vs. tantalum solutions. |
| Thermal and overcurrent protection | Auto-recovery shutdown prevents latch-up during short-circuit or ambient overheating. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2802E/MB | 200mA max, 6µA IQ, but only 13.2V max VIN and no reverse current protection. | Limited to low-voltage battery systems; unsuitable for 24V industrial or automotive inputs. | Select when ultra-low IQ dominates requirements and input stays ≤13.2V. |
| TNIV5028002RA | 250mA max, 2.5µA IQ, 40V max VIN, but ±3% output tolerance and no EN pin. | Lacks enable control and tighter accuracy; better for always-on, non-shutdown use cases. | Select when higher current and wider VIN are critical, and enable functionality is unnecessary. |
Compared with MCP1700T-2802E/MB and TNIV5028002RA, the AP2205-28W5-7 uniquely balances 24V input capability, reverse current blocking, and 2.8V ±2% accuracy in a 5-pin SOT25-making it optimal for battery-to-24V adaptable systems requiring robust enable control and low-noise output.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 2.8V output?
The AP2205-28W5-7 maintains regulation down to VIN = 2.9V under light load (100µA), based on its 100mV dropout specification. At full 200mA load, dropout rises to ~360mV, requiring VIN ≥ 3.16V. Input must remain ≥2.3V per absolute ratings, but functional regulation starts above VOUT + VDROP.
Can the AP2205-28W5-7 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes-it is explicitly designed for low-ESR ceramic capacitors. The datasheet specifies stability with a 2.2µF X5R or X7R ceramic output capacitor. Tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors are not required and may degrade transient response due to higher ESR.
Does the EN pin support partial enable functionality or only on/off control?
The EN pin operates as a digital enable input only: logic high (≥2.0V) enables regulation; logic low (≤0.4V) forces full shutdown with <1.0µA standby current. There is no analog dimming, soft-start modulation, or intermediate states-the EN function is strictly binary.
Is the SOT25 package thermally adequate for 200mA continuous operation?
In free-air conditions, the SOT25 package has θJA = 160°C/W. At 200mA and 2.8V output with 12V input (9.2V drop × 0.2A = 1.84W dissipation), junction temperature rise would exceed safe limits. Derating is required: continuous 200mA is viable only with PCB copper thermal relief (≥1.5cm² pad) or ambient ≤45°C.
