Product details
Overview
AP2210N-3.3TRE1 from Diodes Incorporated is a 300mA ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator with fixed 3.3V output, 250mV typical dropout at full load, ±1% output voltage accuracy, and 75dB PSRR at 100Hz. It delivers low-noise power for RF front-end circuits, battery-powered handheld devices, and noise-sensitive analog signal chains.
For engineers reviewing the AP2210N-3.3TRE1 datasheet, AP2210N-3.3TRE1 pinout, AP2210N-3.3TRE1 application, or AP2210N-3.3TRE1 equivalent, this device supports critical design requirements including sub-1µA shutdown current, reverse current protection, thermal shutdown, and logic-compatible enable control in SOT-23-5 packaging.
Technical Context
The AP2210N-3.3TRE1 integrates a bandgap reference, error amplifier, and PMOS pass transistor to achieve ultra-low dropout and high PSRR. Its internal architecture enables stable operation with ceramic output capacitors as low as 2.2µF and bypass capacitor support for noise reduction.
It operates across -40°C to +125°C junction temperature, supports input voltages from 4.3V to 13.2V, and features CMOS/TTL-compatible enable input with 0.4V logic-low threshold and 2.0V logic-high threshold - enabling direct interfacing with microcontrollers and baseband processors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1% - ensures precise biasing for 3.3V logic, RF ICs, and ADC references without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA - sufficient to power multiple RF transceivers, sensor interfaces, or MCU peripherals from a single regulator. |
| Dropout Voltage | 250mV at 300mA - enables operation from 4.3V input while maintaining regulation, ideal for single-cell Li-ion or multi-cell alkaline systems. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 100Hz - suppresses power supply ripple from switching converters feeding the LDO input, preserving signal integrity in RF stages. |
| Standby Current | 1µA max - extends battery life in always-on wireless sensors and standby modes of portable electronics. |
| Enable Threshold | VIL ≤ 0.4V / VIH ≥ 2.0V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting, simplifying host control. |
| Protection Features | Overcurrent, overtemperature, and reverse current protection - prevents damage during load faults, thermal overload, or backfeed conditions. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package: compact 2.9mm × 1.6mm surface-mount footprint with 0.95mm pitch; matte tin-plated leads, RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 4.3V–13.2V input; requires 1.0µF ceramic decoupling close to pin for stability. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path for regulator core and load; must be connected to main system ground plane. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; pulls low (<0.4V) to enter 1µA shutdown mode; open or high (>2.0V) enables regulation. |
| 4 (BYP/ADJ) | Bypass capacitor terminal | Connects 100pF capacitor to GND to reduce output noise; not used for fixed-output versions but retained for pin compatibility. |
| 5 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 3.3V ±1%; requires 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor with low ESR for transient response and PSRR performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 250mV at 300mA enables use in tight input-output margin applications such as Li-ion powered RF modules. |
| High PSRR (75dB @100Hz) | Effectively filters ripple from upstream DC/DC converters, reducing need for additional filtering stages in RF power rails. |
| Reverse current protection | Prevents current flow from VOUT to VIN during shutdown or input collapse - critical for systems with multiple power domains. |
| ±1% output accuracy | Guarantees compliance with 3.3V I/O voltage tolerances of modern MCUs, FPGAs, and RF ICs across temperature and load. |
| Logic-compatible enable | Direct interface with 1.8V/3.3V microcontroller GPIO eliminates external level shifters and reduces BOM count. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ULDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-3302E/TO | 250mA max output, 600mV dropout at 250mA, no reverse current protection | Lacks reverse current blocking; suitable only where backfeed risk is absent | Select if cost sensitivity outweighs reverse protection need and load current stays ≤250mA |
| Torex XC6206P332MR-G | 300mA output, 300mV dropout at 300mA, no enable pin, no thermal shutdown | Fixed-function only; no active control or fault protection - limited to simple point-of-load use | Choose only for space-constrained designs where enable control and safety features are unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2210N-3.3TRE1 to maintain regulation?
The minimum input voltage is 3.55V - calculated as VOUT + VDROP(MAX) = 3.3V + 0.25V. At 300mA load and +25°C, typical dropout is 250mV, but up to 400mV may occur across temperature and process variation. For reliable PSRR and regulation, Diodes recommends VIN ≥ 4.3V (VOUT + 1.0V).
Does AP2210N-3.3TRE1 require an external bypass capacitor on the BYP pin?
Yes - a 100pF capacitor between BYP (Pin 4) and GND is required to achieve the specified 260nV/√Hz output noise and optimal PSRR performance. Omitting it degrades high-frequency noise rejection and increases output voltage ripple, especially in RF applications.
Can AP2210N-3.3TRE1 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes - it is explicitly designed for stability with ceramic output capacitors ≥2.2µF and ESR ≤100mΩ. Unlike older LDOs, it does not require high-ESR tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors, simplifying layout and improving reliability in space-constrained designs.
Is reverse current protection active during shutdown mode?
Yes - reverse current protection remains fully functional when EN is low (shutdown), preventing current flow from VOUT back into VIN. This protects upstream power sources (e.g., batteries or DC/DC converters) from unintended discharge during system sleep or input removal.
