Product details
Overview
RP131K501D-TR from Ricoh Electronics is a 5.0V fixed-output, 1A low-dropout linear regulator with ultra-low standby current (0.15µA typ.), 1.6V minimum input voltage, and built-in auto-discharge function. It features 70dB ripple rejection at 1kHz, ±1.0% output voltage accuracy, and thermal shutdown at 165°C. Designed for space-constrained portable power rails, it delivers stable 5.0V supply to microcontrollers and sensors in battery-powered cameras and notebook PCs.
For engineers reviewing the RP131K501D-TR datasheet, RP131K501D-TR pinout, RP131K501D-TR application, or RP131K501D-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 1A load (0.45V typ. for 5.0V output), ceramic capacitor compatibility (4.7µF min. for VOUT > 3.6V), CE pin active-high logic, and DFN(PL)1820-6 package thermal performance (2200mW PD).
Technical Context
The RP131K501D-TR integrates a low-ON-resistance N-channel pass transistor, error amplifier, precision voltage reference, and chip enable circuitry. Its feedback network is factory-trimmed for 5.0V output, eliminating external resistors. The auto-discharge function actively pulls VOUT to 0V during standby via internal discharge path when CE transitions low.
It employs fold-back current limiting (250mA short-circuit current) and thermal shutdown with hysteresis (165°C trip / 135°C release). Input voltage range (1.6–6.5V) and low dropout enable operation from single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline sources while maintaining regulation under full 1A load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±1.0% (guaranteed over −40°C to +85°C) |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous - supports high-current MCU cores and peripheral ICs |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.45V typ. at 5.0V/1A - enables regulation down to 5.45V input |
| Ripple Rejection | 70dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters |
| Standby Current | 0.15µA typ. - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Auto-Discharge | Enabled (D version) - rapidly discharges output capacitor on disable for safe hot-swap |
| Package Thermal PD | 2200mW (DFN(PL)1820-6) - supports 1A load with moderate PCB copper area |
Pinout & Package
RP131K501D-TR uses the DFN(PL)1820-6 surface-mount package (1.8mm × 2.0mm × 0.55mm, exposed thermal pad). This thermally enhanced leadless package enables high-density layout and improved heat dissipation versus standard DFN variants.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | VOUT | Dual output pins - paralleled internally; must be connected externally for full 1A current handling |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference and thermal path - connect exposed pad to large GND plane |
| 4 | CE | Chip Enable (active-high) - drives VOUT when ≥1.0V; pulls VOUT to 0V via discharge path when low |
| 5, 6 | VDD | Dual input pins - paralleled internally; reduce IR drop and improve PSRR at high load |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Dropout | 0.45V typ. at 5.0V/1A - sustains regulation from 5.45V input, critical for aging batteries |
| Ultra-Low Standby | 0.15µA - reduces quiescent drain by >99% vs. standard LDOs, enabling multi-year battery life |
| Auto-Discharge | Active discharge path (D version) - eliminates residual VOUT after shutdown, preventing latch-up |
| Ceramic Cap Support | Stable with ≥4.7µF X5R/X7R ceramic (VOUT > 3.6V) - avoids costly tantalum or electrolytic caps |
| Thermal Protection | 165°C shutdown with 30°C hysteresis - prevents damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RP131K501B-TR | No auto-discharge function; identical electrical specs otherwise | Not suitable where rapid VOUT discharge is required (e.g., hot-swap, safety-critical shutdown) | Select B version only if system design handles residual output voltage externally |
| Torex XC6210B502MR-G | Same 5.0V/1A output, but 1.0µA standby current and no auto-discharge; SOT-25 package | Larger footprint, higher quiescent draw, no discharge path - limits use in ultra-low-power or safety-critical systems | Choose only if DFN(PL)1820-6 is unavailable and 0.15µA standby is not required |
Compared with RP131K501B-TR and XC6210B502MR-G, the RP131K501D-TR uniquely combines ultra-low standby current, integrated auto-discharge, and thermally optimized DFN(PL)1820-6 packaging-enabling longer battery life and safer power sequencing in space-constrained portable designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for RP131K501D-TR to regulate 5.0V output?
The RP131K501D-TR requires a minimum input voltage of 1.6V, but to maintain 5.0V regulation at 1A load, VIN must exceed VOUT + dropout voltage (5.0V + 0.45V = 5.45V typ.). Below this, output voltage drops linearly with input.
Can RP131K501D-TR operate with a 2.2µF output capacitor?
No. For VOUT = 5.0V (>3.6V), the datasheet specifies a minimum 4.7µF ceramic capacitor. Using 2.2µF risks instability, poor transient response, and potential oscillation due to insufficient phase margin.
How does the auto-discharge function behave during CE pin deactivation?
When CE transitions from high to low, an internal NMOS transistor connects VOUT to GND, discharging the output capacitor. Turn-off speed is typically 100µs with 4.7µF COUT, ensuring rapid, controlled VOUT decay without external components.
Is thermal derating required for continuous 1A operation in the DFN(PL)1820-6 package?
Yes. With 2200mW maximum power dissipation, continuous 1A operation at 5.0V output requires ≤0.45V dropout (VIN ≤ 5.45V) and adequate PCB copper area (≥100mm² GND pour under exposed pad) to maintain junction temperature ≤125°C.
