Product details
Overview
AP2210N-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, 75dB PSRR at 100Hz, and 1µA maximum standby current. It operates from 2.5V to 13.2V input, features logic-compatible enable control, overcurrent/overtemperature/reverse-current protection, and targets RF power supply rails in handheld wireless devices.
For engineers reviewing the AP2210N-2.5TRE1 datasheet, AP2210N-2.5TRE1 pinout, AP2210N-2.5TRE1 application, or AP2210N-2.5TRE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance under 300mA load, noise-sensitive LDO stability with 100pF BYP capacitor support, thermal shutdown behavior in SOT-23-5 layout, and compatibility with 2.5V core/logic rail requirements in space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The AP2210N-2.5TRE1 uses a CMOS pass transistor architecture with bandgap reference and internal current limiting, enabling stable regulation down to 250mV VIN–VOUT differential at 300mA. Its feedback loop incorporates ESR-stable compensation for use with low-ESR ceramic capacitors (CIN = 1.0µF, COUT = 2.2µF).
It integrates independent logic-level enable (EN) with TTL/CMOS compatibility (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.4V), thermal shutdown activation at TJ ≥ +150°C, and reverse-current blocking to prevent backfeed when VIN < VOUT. The BYP/ADJ pin supports either 100pF bypass for noise reduction (fixed version) or external resistor divider (adjustable version).
Key Specifications

| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return path for input/output currents and internal regulator circuitry |
| 3 (EN) | Enable Control | Active-high logic input (VIH ≥ 2.0V); pulls regulator into 1µA shutdown when low |
| 4 (BYP/ADJ) | Noise Filter / Adj Reference | Connect 100pF capacitor to GND for optimal noise performance (fixed 2.5V version) |
| 5 (VOUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 2.5V ±1% to load; requires 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-Low Dropout | 250mV at 300mA enables use with minimal input headroom-critical for battery-powered RF stages |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2210N-2.5TRE1 to maintain regulation?
The minimum input voltage is 2.75V, calculated as VOUT + VDROP = 2.5V + 0.25V (typical dropout at 300mA). Operation below this threshold causes output voltage collapse. For robust PSRR and thermal margin, Diodes recommends VIN ≥ VOUT + 1V (i.e., ≥3.5V) across the full operating temperature range.
Can AP2210N-2.5TRE1 be used with ceramic output capacitors only?
Yes-AP2210N-2.5TRE1 is ESR-stable and fully compatible with low-ESR ceramic capacitors. The datasheet specifies COUT = 2.2µF X5R/X7R ceramic with ≤10mΩ ESR. No tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors are required, simplifying layout and improving reliability.
Does the BYP/ADJ pin require external components for the fixed 2.5V version?
Yes-the BYP/ADJ pin must be connected to a 100pF capacitor to ground for optimal noise performance. This capacitor reduces output voltage noise to 260nV/√Hz and enhances PSRR. Omitting it degrades high-frequency noise rejection and may increase ripple susceptibility in RF-sensitive applications.
How does thermal shutdown behave during continuous overload?
When junction temperature exceeds +150°C, the device enters thermal shutdown, disabling the pass transistor and reducing output current to near zero. It automatically recovers once TJ falls below +135°C (typical hysteresis). This cycle repeats until fault condition clears, preventing permanent damage without requiring external reset circuitry.
