The AP2202 is a 150mA ULDO regulator which provides very low noise, ultra low dropout voltage
(typically 165mV at 150mA), very lowstandby current
(1
µA maximum) and excellent power supply ripple
rejection (PSRR 75dB at 100Hz) in battery powered
applications, such as handsets and PDAs and in noise
sensitive applications, such as RF electronics.
The AP2202 also features logic compatible enable/
shutdown control inputs, a low power shutdown mode
for extended battery life, over current protection, over
temperature protection, as well as reversed-battery protection.
The AP2202 has adjustable, 2.5V, 2.6V, 2.8V, 3.0V and
3.3V versions.
The AP2202 is available in space saving SOT-23-5 and
SOT-89 packages.
BCD Semiconductor's Pb-free products, as designated with "E1" suffix in the part number, are RoHS compliant. Products with
"G1" suffix are available in green packages.

Noise Bypass Capacitor
Bypass capacitor is connected to the internal voltage
reference. A 100pF capacitor connected from BYP to
GND make this reference quiet, resulting in a
significant reduction in output noise, but the ESR
stable area will be narrowed.
The start-up speed of the AP2202 is inversely
proportional to the value of reference bypass
capacitor. In some cases, if output noise is not a
major concern and rapid turn-on is necessary, omit
C
and leave BYP open.

Power Dissipation
Thermal shutdown may take place if exceeding the
maximum power dissipation in application. Under all
possible operating conditions, the junction temperature must be within the range specified under absolute maximum ratings to avoid thermal shutdown.
To determine if the power dissipated in the regulator
reaches the maximum power dissipation (see figure
