The AP2210 is a 300mA ULDO regulator which provides very low noise, ultra low dropout voltage
(typically 250mV at 300mA), very low standby current
(1
µA maximum)and excellent power supply ripple
rejection (PSRR 75dB at 100Hz) in battery powered
applications, such as handsets, PDAs and in noise sensitive applications, such as RF electronics.
The AP2210 also features individual 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 AP2210 has 2.5V, 2.8V, 3.0V, 3.3V, 3.6V, 4.0V,
5.0V and ADJ versions.
The AP2210 is available in space saving SOT-23-3 and
SOT-23-5 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 small 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. In order to keep the
output stability, it is recommended to use the bypass
capacitor no more than 100pF.
The start-up speed of the AP2210 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 tempera-
ture 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
