AP2138/2139
ULTRA LOW QUIESCENT CURRENT CMOS LDO
Description
The AP2138/2139 series are CMOS-based positive voltage regulator
ICs. Each of these ICs consists of a voltage reference, an error
amplifier, a resistor network for setting output voltage and a current
limit circuit for current protection.
The difference between AP2138 and AP2139 is the AP2139 has an
enable circuit with a quick discharge function.
These ICs feature high output voltage accuracy, extremely low
quiescent current and low dropout voltage which make them ideal for
use in various power sources for portable applications.
The AP2138/2139 series have 1.2V, 1.4V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.1V, 2.2V,
2.5V, 2.8V, 3.0V, 3.3V, 3.6V and 4.0V fixed output voltage versions.
The AP2138 series is available in SOT-23-3 and SOT-89 packages,
AP2139 series is available in SOT-23-5 package.

Typical Applications Circuit
(Note 4)
Note 4:
Filter capacitors are required at the AP2138/2139's input and output. 1µF capacitor is required at the input. The minimum output capacitance required for
stability should be more than 1µF with ESR
to 100Ω. Ceramic capacitors are recommended.

Notes:
5. Stresses greater than those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “Recommended Operating Conditions” is not implied.
Exposure to “Absolute Maximum Ratings” for extended periods may affect device reliability.
6. Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when operating the
device outside of its operating ratings. The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, T
J(max)
,
the junction-
to-ambient thermal resistance, θ
JA
,
and the ambient temperature, T
A
.
The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated
using: P
D(max)
=(T
J(max)
-T

.
Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature.
