Product details
Overview
AP2210N-4.0TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a 300mA ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator with fixed 4.0V 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 and battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable, clean supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the AP2210N-4.0TRG1 datasheet, AP2210N-4.0TRG1 pinout, AP2210N-4.0TRG1 application, or AP2210N-4.0TRG1 equivalent, this device is selected for noise-sensitive analog/RF subsystems where input-to-output headroom is constrained, standby current must be <1µA, and thermal protection and reverse-current blocking are required.
Technical Context
The AP2210N-4.0TRG1 uses a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout and high PSRR across low-frequency ripple. Its internal bandgap reference and error amplifier maintain tight line/load regulation (<6mV) over -40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
It integrates CMOS/TTL-compatible enable control, thermal shutdown, overcurrent limiting (450–900mA), and reverse-current protection-no external diode needed. The BYP pin supports 100pF bypass capacitor for noise reduction in RF applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 4.0V ±1% - ensures precise biasing of 4V-tolerant RF ICs and analog sensors without external feedback. |
| Dropout Voltage | 250mV typ. at 300mA - enables operation from 4.25V input (e.g., single Li-ion cell post-regulation) while sustaining full load. |
| PSRR | 75dB at 100Hz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding sensitive RF receivers. |
| Standby Current | 1µA max. - extends battery life in always-on wireless sensor nodes during deep-sleep modes. |
| Output Noise | 260nV/√Hz - meets low-phase-noise requirements for VCOs, LNAs, and ADC reference supplies. |
| Thermal Protection | Internally limited junction temperature (150°C) - prevents latch-up during transient overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
| Enable Threshold | VIH = 2.0V min., VIL = 0.4V max. - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V logic without level-shifting in mixed-voltage systems. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package: compact 2.9mm × 1.6mm surface-mount footprint with exposed pad for thermal performance; matte tin-plated leads, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input supply connection | Accepts 4.25V–13.2V input; requires 1.0µF ceramic decoupling close to pin for stability. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path for load and regulator quiescent current; connects to PCB ground plane. |
| 3 (EN) | Logic-enable control | Active-high shutdown: drives low to reduce ISTD to ≤1µA; compatible with MCU GPIOs. |
| 4 (BYP/ADJ) | Noise filter / adjust node | Connect 100pF capacitor to GND to reduce output noise; not used in fixed 4.0V version. |
| 5 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers up to 300mA at 4.0V ±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 headroom-critical for single-cell Li-ion systems. |
| High PSRR (75dB @ 100Hz) | Rejects low-frequency ripple from buck converters, preserving signal integrity in RF transceivers. |
| Reverse Current Protection | Blocks backflow from VOUT to VIN when input is removed-eliminates need for external blocking diode. |
| ±1% Output Accuracy | Guarantees consistent biasing of precision analog circuitry without calibration or trimming. |
| Thermal + Overcurrent Protection | Auto-recovery shutdown prevents damage during short-circuit or high-ambient thermal conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ULDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-4002E/TT | 250mA output, 600mV dropout at 250mA, 65dB PSRR @ 100Hz, no reverse-current protection | Limited to lower-current digital loads; unsuitable for RF noise-critical paths | Select only if cost is primary constraint and PSRR/noise requirements are relaxed. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP2210N-4.0TRG1 to maintain regulation at 300mA?
The minimum input voltage is 4.25V-calculated as VOUT + VDROP(max) = 4.0V + 0.25V. At 300mA and +25°C, typical dropout is 250mV; maximum specified dropout is 500mV over temperature, so 4.5V is recommended for guaranteed operation across -40°C to +125°C.
Can AP2210N-4.0TRG1 be used without the BYP capacitor in non-RF applications?
Yes-the BYP pin is left unconnected or tied to GND in fixed-output versions when ultra-low noise is not required. The device remains fully functional and stable with standard 2.2µF COUT; the 100pF BYP capacitor is optional and only improves PSRR/noise performance in RF-sensitive designs.
Does AP2210N-4.0TRG1 require an external current-limiting resistor on the EN pin?
No-EN is CMOS/TTL compatible with IIH ≤ 20µA and IIL ≤ 2µA. Direct connection to 1.8V or 3.3V GPIO is safe; no series resistor is needed unless driving from open-drain logic or long traces requiring ESD filtering.
How does the AP2210N-4.0TRG1 behave during thermal shutdown?
When junction temperature exceeds ~150°C, the device disables the pass element and forces VOUT to drop to near 0V. It automatically recovers once TJ falls below ~140°C hysteresis threshold-no external reset or cycling required. This protects both the regulator and downstream circuitry during sustained overload.
