Product details
Overview
AP2210K-2.5TRE1 from Diodes Incorporated is a 300mA ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator with fixed 2.5V output, 250mV typical dropout at full load, ±1% output voltage accuracy, and 75dB PSRR at 100Hz-designed for noise-sensitive RF power rails in handheld wireless devices.
For engineers reviewing the AP2210K-2.5TRE1 datasheet, AP2210K-2.5TRE1 pinout, AP2210K-2.5TRE1 application, or AP2210K-2.5TRE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-noise operation (260nV/√Hz), logic-compatible enable control, reverse current protection, thermal shutdown, and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with bypass capacitor support.
Technical Context
The AP2210K-2.5TRE1 employs a bandgap-referenced error amplifier driving a PMOS pass transistor to achieve ultra-low dropout and high PSRR. Its internal architecture integrates CMOS/TTL-compatible enable logic, thermal foldback, and current-limit circuitry that triggers at 450–900mA.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature with input voltage range 2.5V–13.2V and supports stable regulation with 1.0µF input and 2.2µF output ceramic capacitors. The BYP/ADJ pin enables low-noise performance via 100pF bypass capacitor or adjustable output configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±1% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures stable core supply for RF ICs and baseband processors. |
| Dropout Voltage | 250mV typ. at 300mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) or dual-cell NiMH with margin. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 100Hz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters feeding sensitive analog/RF blocks. |
| Standby Current | ≤1µA max. in shutdown - extends battery life in always-on monitoring or sleep-mode states. |
| Output Noise | 260nV/√Hz - meets stringent spectral purity requirements for VCO biasing and LNA power domains. |
| Enable Threshold | VIH = 2.0V min., VIL = 0.4V max. - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Protection | Internally limited junction temperature (150°C) with automatic recovery - prevents latch-up during transient overload. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 surface-mount package with matte tin-plated leads, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 3 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.5V–13.2V; requires 1.0µF ceramic decoupling close to pin for stability. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path for regulator quiescent current and load current; connects to system ground plane. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable control input | CMOS/TTL-compatible; high ≥2.0V enables regulation, low ≤0.4V places device in 1µA shutdown mode. |
| 4 (BYP/ADJ) | Bypass or adjustment node | For fixed 2.5V version: connect 100pF capacitor to GND to minimize output noise; not used as ADJ. |
| 5 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers up to 300mA at 2.5V ±1%; requires 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor for PSRR and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-Low Dropout | 250mV at 300mA enables use with minimal input–output headroom, reducing power loss in battery-powered systems. |
| Reverse Current Protection | Prevents backflow from VOUT to VIN when input is removed or pulled low - critical for multi-rail sequencing and hot-swap safety. |
| High PSRR & Low Noise | 75dB @100Hz and 260nV/√Hz output noise ensure clean power delivery to RF synthesizers and ADC reference circuits. |
| Integrated Protections | Overcurrent limit (450–900mA), thermal shutdown, and short-circuit foldback eliminate need for external fault management circuitry. |
| Logic-Compatible Enable | Direct interface with microcontroller GPIO pins operating at 1.8V or 3.3V logic levels - no external pull-ups or translators required. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2210K-2.5TRE1 to maintain regulation?
The minimum input voltage is 2.75V: 2.5V output plus 250mV typical dropout. However, Diodes recommends VIN ≥ VOUT + 1V (i.e., ≥3.5V) to ensure full PSRR performance and avoid degradation under load transients or temperature extremes.
Can the BYP/ADJ pin be left floating in the AP2210K-2.5TRE1 fixed-output version?
No. For the fixed 2.5V version, the BYP/ADJ pin must be connected to a 100pF capacitor to GND to achieve specified 260nV/√Hz output noise and optimal PSRR. Leaving it floating degrades noise performance and may cause instability.
Does AP2210K-2.5TRE1 require an external diode for reverse-input protection?
No. The device integrates reverse current protection, eliminating the need for an external series diode. This reduces forward voltage drop, power loss, and PCB area-critical in space-constrained portable designs.
How does thermal shutdown behave during sustained overload conditions?
When junction temperature exceeds 150°C, the AP2210K-2.5TRE1 disables the pass transistor and enters thermal shutdown. It automatically recovers once TJ falls below ~140°C hysteresis threshold, enabling self-resetting fault recovery without external intervention.
