Product details
Overview
ADP3820ARTZ-4.1RL7 from Analog Devices is a 4.1 V fixed-output, low-dropout linear regulator in SOT-23-3 package, delivering up to 200 mA output current with 150 mV dropout at full load, ±1.5% output voltage accuracy over temperature and line, and 60 µA quiescent current - used in portable instrumentation power rails.
For engineers reviewing the ADP3820ARTZ-4.1RL7 datasheet, ADP3820ARTZ-4.1RL7 pinout, ADP3820ARTZ-4.1RL7 application, or ADP3820ARTZ-4.1RL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 200 mA, load regulation (±0.1%), thermal shutdown behavior, and compatibility with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The ADP3820ARTZ-4.1RL7 employs a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling stable operation with small ceramic output capacitors and no ESR requirements. Its internal bandgap reference and error amplifier deliver tight DC accuracy and transient response under dynamic load steps up to 100 mA/µs.
Thermal foldback and short-circuit current limiting protect the device during overload conditions. The regulator operates from an input range of 4.6 V to 12 V and maintains regulation down to 4.25 V input when delivering 200 mA at 4.1 V output.
Key Specifications

| Max Output Current | 200 mA (continuous, with thermal derating above 85°C ambient) |
| Dropout Voltage | 150 mV at 200 mA load (enables operation with only 4.25 V input for 4.1 V output) |
| Quiescent Current | 60 µA (supports battery-powered systems with low standby power demands) |
| Load Regulation | ±0.1% (0–200 mA load change; ensures stable rail for precision analog circuitry) |
| Line Regulation | ±0.02%/V (4.6 V to 12 V input; minimizes output drift with varying supply) |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADP3820ARTZ-3.3RL7 | Fixed 3.3 V output; identical package, pinout, and electrical specs except output voltage | Used where system logic requires 3.3 V instead of 4.1 V; not interchangeable without schematic change | Select only if target rail voltage matches 3.3 V; same thermal and layout design applies |
| MCP1700T-4102E/TT | 4.1 V output, but 250 mA max current, 175 mV dropout at 250 mA, and 1.8 µA quiescent current | Better for ultra-low-power sleep modes; higher dropout limits usable input range in low-headroom designs | Prefer for battery longevity in duty-cycled systems; verify dropout margin at peak load |
Compared with ADP3820ARTZ-4.1RL7, the ADP3820ARTZ-3.3RL7 offers identical performance at a different voltage, while the MCP1700T-4102E/TT trades lower quiescent current for higher dropout and reduced PSRR - making it suitable for energy-constrained but less noise-sensitive applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for ADP3820ARTZ-4.1RL7 to maintain regulation at 200 mA?
The ADP3820ARTZ-4.1RL7 requires a minimum input voltage of 4.25 V to sustain 4.1 V output at 200 mA load, based on its 150 mV dropout specification. Below this, output voltage drops linearly with input; operation below 4.6 V may also trigger undervoltage lockout depending on batch variation.
Can ADP3820ARTZ-4.1RL7 be used with a 0.47 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes - the ADP3820ARTZ-4.1RL7 is stable with ceramic capacitors as low as 0.47 µF, per the datasheet's stability validation. However, 1 µF is recommended for optimal transient response and PSRR performance across temperature and voltage variations.
Does ADP3820ARTZ-4.1RL7 include reverse-voltage protection?
No, the ADP3820ARTZ-4.1RL7 does not integrate reverse-voltage protection. Applying reverse polarity to VIN or VOUT can cause permanent damage. External protection diodes or MOSFET-based circuits are required if system-level reverse-voltage exposure is possible.
What is the thermal resistance θJA of ADP3820ARTZ-4.1RL7 in standard SOT-23-3 mounting?
The ADP3820ARTZ-4.1RL7 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 220°C/W on a 2-layer PCB with minimal copper pour. With a 1-inch² 2-oz copper pad connected to GND, θJA improves to ~120°C/W - critical for sustaining 200 mA at ambient temperatures above 60°C.
Is ADP3820ARTZ-4.1RL7 pin-compatible with other devices in the ADP3820 family?
Yes - all ADP3820xRTZ variants (e.g., ADP3820ARTZ-3.3RL7, ADP3820ARTZ-5.0RL7) share identical SOT-23-3 pinout (VIN, GND, VOUT), allowing voltage-option flexibility without PCB redesign. Only the output voltage and minor electrical tolerances differ between part numbers.
