Product details
Overview
AP2205-28YR-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 2.8V ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator IC with 200mA output capability, fabricated using high-voltage EPNP process. It features 2.3V–24V input range, 100mV dropout at 100µA load, ±2% output voltage accuracy, 60dB PSRR at 1kHz, and integrated protections including thermal shutdown, overcurrent, overtemperature, reverse current, and low-power enable control - deployed in battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable low-noise supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the AP2205-28YR-13 datasheet, AP2205-28YR-13 pinout, AP2205-28YR-13 application, or AP2205-28YR-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance under light-load conditions, ground current vs. load profile, EN pin threshold compatibility with 1.8V/3.3V logic, SOT89R thermal resistance (26°C/W), and fixed 2.8V output suitability for RF front-end biasing or MCU core supply in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The AP2205-28YR-13 implements a precision bandgap reference (1.24V typ), error amplifier, and resistor network trimmed for 2.8V fixed output. Its EPNP-based pass transistor enables ultra-low quiescent current (36µA at 100µA load) and supports operation down to 2.3V input while maintaining regulation - critical for single-cell Li-ion or multi-cell alkaline systems.
Thermal protection activates at +150°C junction temperature, and the EN pin (2.0V "high", 0.4V "low") provides logic-controlled shutdown with standby current ≤1.0µA. The device is internally compensated and compatible with low-ESR ceramic capacitors (1.0µF input, 2.2µF output), eliminating need for external compensation components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8V ±2% - ensures stable bias for 2.8V I/O domains or analog sensors without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3V to 24V - supports direct connection to unregulated battery stacks, automotive rails, or industrial 24V supplies. |
| Max Output Current | 200mA @ VOUT > 1.8V - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, RF transceivers, or small displays in portable devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV @ IOUT = 100µA - enables regulation with minimal headroom, extending battery runtime in low-power sleep modes. |
| PSRR | 60dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters, preserving signal integrity in sensitive analog sections. |
| Quiescent Current | 36µA @ IOUT = 100µA - minimizes no-load power loss, critical for always-on monitoring circuits and energy-harvesting applications. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(H) ≥ 2.0V, VEN(L) ≤ 0.4V - compatible with standard 1.8V and 3.3V GPIOs for seamless system-level power sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
SOT89R package: 3-pin thermally enhanced variant with exposed substrate pad (pin 2), rated θJC = 26°C/W and θJA = 129°C/W on 2-layer FR-4 PCB. Substrate must be connected to GND for optimal thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Power ground reference and thermal path - connects to PCB ground plane via exposed pad for heat dissipation. |
| 2 | VIN | Main input supply - accepts 2.3V–24V; requires 1.0µF ceramic decoupling close to pin. |
| 3 | VOUT | Regulated 2.8V output - delivers up to 200mA; requires 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 100mV at 100µA load enables operation near battery end-of-life (e.g., 2.9V → 2.8V regulation from 1×Li-ion). |
| Low ground current | 36µA at light load reduces system standby power - essential for IoT edge nodes with multi-year battery life targets. |
| High PSRR | 60dB at 1kHz rejects ripple from noisy switchers, enabling clean analog supply without additional LDO staging. |
| Integrated protections | Thermal shutdown, overcurrent, overtemperature, and reverse-current blocking eliminate need for external protection circuitry. |
| Logic-compatible enable | EN pin thresholds (2.0V/0.4V) allow direct interfacing with 1.8V/3.3V MCUs - simplifies power sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
Applications
| Wireless Sensor Node Power | Portable Medical Device Bias |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low dropout regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1703T-2802E/MB | 2.8V fixed, 250mA, 600mV dropout @ 250mA; higher quiescent current (4µA vs. 36µA) | Lacks EN pin and reverse-current protection; requires external enable circuitry for power sequencing | Preferred where higher output current is needed and thermal margin allows larger dropout. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 2.8V output?
The AP2205-28YR-13 maintains regulation down to VIN = 2.3V, as specified in Recommended Operating Conditions. At 2.8V output, this yields only 0.5V headroom - sufficient due to its 100mV dropout at light loads. However, full 200mA output requires VIN ≥ VOUT + 0.32V (3.12V) per Electrical Characteristics table.
Can the AP2205-28YR-13 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes - the AP2205-28YR-13 is explicitly designed for compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors. The datasheet specifies 2.2µF X5R/X7R ceramic output capacitance for stability, with no requirement for series ESR or external compensation components.
Does the SOT89R package require soldering the exposed pad to ground?
Yes - the substrate/exposed pad (pin 2) must be connected to GND per datasheet Note 4. This connection provides the primary thermal conduction path and improves electrical noise immunity; leaving it floating degrades thermal resistance by >40% and risks instability.
How does the EN pin behave during power-up and brown-out conditions?
The EN pin has hysteresis-free TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds: output enables when VEN rises above 2.0V and disables when VEN falls below 0.4V. During brown-out, the regulator remains enabled until VEN drops below 0.4V - ensuring clean shutdown without oscillation, and standby current drops to ≤1.0µA in disabled state.
