Overview

The AP2112K-3.3 is a 600mA CMOS low dropout linear regulator specifically designed to provide a stable 3.3V output from input sources up to 6V. It features a low quiescent current of 55uA typical and a low dropout voltage of 250mV, making it efficient for battery-powered applications. The device includes an enable pin for power sequencing and integrated protection features like foldback short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown.

Why Choose This Part

This regulator offers high output accuracy of 1.5 percent and excellent PSRR of 65dB for noise-sensitive circuits. The SOT-25 package provides a small footprint while including an auto-discharge function that ensures the output capacitor is safely discharged when the device is disabled.

Applications

Laptop and Notebook Peripherals
Providing regulated 3.3V power to internal modules and interface controllers where space is limited.
Battery-Powered Handheld Devices
Utilizing the low 55uA quiescent current and 0.01uA standby current to extend battery life in portable electronics.
LCD Monitor Power Rails
Supplying stable low-noise power to control logic and display driver circuits.
Portable DVD Players
Regulating power for optical drive controllers and signal processing ICs requiring up to 600mA.

Getting Started

To implement this LDO, place a 1.0uF ceramic capacitor close to both the input and output pins for stability. Connect the EN pin to a logic high signal or VIN to enable the regulator; if power-down control is required, use a microcontroller GPIO to pull the EN pin low. Ensure the PCB layout provides adequate copper area for thermal dissipation since the device operates up to 85 degrees Celsius.
