Product details
Overview
ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2 from Analog Devices is an ultralow-noise, 200 mA low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 2.5 V output, 150 mV dropout at full load, 9.5 µVrms (0.1 Hz–100 kHz) output noise, and 54 dB PSRR at 100 kHz. It operates from 2.2 V to 5.5 V input and delivers stable power to high-resolution ADCs and RF signal chains.
For engineers reviewing the ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2 datasheet, ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2 pinout, ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2 application, or ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2 equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping, validated noise/PSRR/load-regulation specs, confirmed TSOT-5 pin functions, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative regulators for analog/RF supply design.
Technical Context
The ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2 uses a PMOS pass transistor architecture with internal reference and error amplifier feedback, enabling ultralow noise without bypass capacitors. Its EN pin features VIN-referenced thresholds (VIH = 1.2 V, VIL = 0.4 V) and built-in hysteresis to prevent oscillation during enable transitions.
It achieves stable regulation with only 1 µF ±30% ceramic input/output capacitors, supports soft-start (180 µs for 3.3 V variant), and integrates current-limit (300 mA typ.) and thermal shutdown (150°C trip, 15°C hysteresis) protection. Dropout voltage remains ≤230 mV across −40°C to +125°C at 200 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±1% initial accuracy; −2.5%/+1.5% over line/load/temperature ensures precision biasing for 16-/18-bit ADC references. |
| Output Noise | 9.5 µVrms (0.1 Hz–100 kHz); enables clean power for RF VCOs and PLLs without external noise-filtering components. |
| PSRR | 54 dB at 100 kHz with 1 V headroom; suppresses switching noise from upstream dc-dc converters in mixed-signal systems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 150 mV at 200 mA load; allows operation down to 2.75 V input while maintaining 2.5 V output, improving system efficiency in battery-powered designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 265 µA typical at 200 mA load; minimizes standby power loss in always-on sensor nodes and portable instrumentation. |
| Enable Threshold | EN VIH = 1.2 V min, VIL = 0.4 V max; compatible with 1.8 V logic and microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Protection | 150°C shutdown with 15°C hysteresis; prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2 is supplied in a 5-lead TSOT package (2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm) with exposed pad connected to GND for enhanced thermal performance (θJA = 170°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply terminal | Accepts 2.2 V–5.5 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability and transient immunity. |
| GND | Power ground reference | Common return path for input/output currents; must be connected to PCB ground plane via exposed pad and multiple vias. |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; internal 2.6 MΩ pull-down ensures default OFF state when unconnected. |
| NC | No-connect terminal | Pin 4 is electrically isolated; must remain unconnected per datasheet to avoid malfunction. |
| VOUT | Regulated output terminal | Delivers 2.5 V ±1.5% under all operating conditions; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND for loop stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow noise without bypass cap | Eliminates need for dedicated 10 nF noise-reduction capacitor, reducing BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained RF modules. |
| Stable with 1 µF ceramic caps | Enables use of small, low-ESR X5R/X7R MLCCs instead of larger tantalum or polymer types-critical for miniaturized medical sensors and IoT edge devices. |
| Low dropout at full load | 150 mV dropout at 200 mA allows direct regulation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or 3.3 V rails, simplifying power tree architecture. |
| Integrated EN hysteresis | Prevents chatter during marginal enable signals, ensuring reliable startup/shutdown in noisy industrial environments without external RC filtering. |
| Thermal & current limiting | Protects against short-circuit faults and PCB thermal bottlenecks, supporting robust deployment in unattended embedded systems without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A4700RGWR | 300 mA output, 4 µVrms (10 Hz–100 kHz), but requires 2.2 µF minimum output capacitance and has higher 350 µA IQ. | Better noise performance suits ultra-low-jitter clock generation; less suitable for space-constrained layouts due to larger cap requirements. | Select when sub-5 µVrms noise is mandatory and board area permits ≥2.2 µF ceramics. |
| LT3042EDD#PBF | 200 mA output, 0.8 µVrms (10 Hz–100 kHz), but needs external 10 µF bypass cap and has 2.2 V minimum input. | Superior noise ideal for metrology-grade instruments; bypass cap requirement increases component count and layout complexity. | Choose for lab-grade precision where absolute lowest noise outweighs BOM simplicity. |
Compared with TPS7A4700RGWR and LT3042EDD#PBF, the ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2 offers optimal balance: industry-leading noise without bypass caps, minimal 1 µF capacitor footprint, and proven compatibility with high-speed ADC reference designs-making it the preferred choice for production-ready RF and data acquisition systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2?
The ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2 has an absolute maximum input voltage of +6.5 V relative to GND, but its functional operating range is strictly 2.2 V to 5.5 V. Exceeding 5.5 V may cause irreversible damage or parametric shift. The device includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO) that disables output below 1.96 V rising threshold, protecting downstream circuitry during brown-out conditions. Always operate within the 2.2 V–5.5 V range specified in the ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2 datasheet.
Does the ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2 require an external bypass capacitor for noise reduction?
No, the ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2 achieves ultralow 9.5 µVrms (0.1 Hz–100 kHz) output noise without any external bypass capacitor-unlike many competing LDOs. This is enabled by its proprietary internal topology and is explicitly validated in the ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2 datasheet Figures 4–8. Adding a bypass cap is unnecessary and may even degrade stability if improperly implemented.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2 in its TSOT-5 package?
The ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2 in the 5-lead TSOT package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 170°C/W, measured on a standard 4-layer JEDEC board. This value assumes proper PCB layout with the exposed pad soldered to a solid ground plane using ≥4 thermal vias. In real-world layouts with limited copper area, θJA may rise significantly-always verify junction temperature using TJ = TA + (PD × θJA) in your final design.
Can the ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2 be used with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors?
Yes-the ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2 is specifically designed and characterized for stable operation with 1 µF ±30% X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors on both input and output. Table 2 in the ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2 datasheet confirms 0.7 µF minimum capacitance, and Figure 39 validates transient response with exactly 1 µF COUT. Using Y5V or Z5U dielectrics is not recommended due to excessive DC bias and temperature drift.
What is the enable pin behavior when left floating on the ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2?
The ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2 includes an internal 2.6 MΩ pull-down resistor on the EN pin, so leaving it unconnected results in automatic shutdown-VOUT remains off. To enable the regulator, drive EN to ≥1.2 V (e.g., tie directly to VIN). This feature eliminates the need for external pull-down resistors and ensures fail-safe behavior during power-up sequencing in complex systems using the ADM7160ACPZN2.5-R2.
