Application Information
External Capacitors
The AP2201 requires external capacitors for regula-
tor stability. These capacitors must be correctly
selected for good performance.
Input Capacitor
If there is more than 10 inches of wire between the
input and the AC filter or if a battery is used as the
input, at least a 1µF capacitor should be placed from
IN to GND.
Output Capacitor
It is required to prevent oscillation. 1.0µF minimum
is recommended when C
mum is recommended when C
put capacitor may be increased without limit for large
values to improve transient response.

electrolytic capacitors are adequate.
Noise Bypass Capacitor
Bypass capacitor is connected to the internal voltage
reference. A 680pF capacitor connected from BYP to
GND make this reference quiet, resulting in a
significant reduction in output noise. When using

The start-up speed of the AP2201 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.
