Product details
Overview
ADP7157ARDZ-02-R7 from Analog Devices is an adjustable ultralow-noise, high-PSRR linear regulator optimized for RF-sensitive loads. It operates from 2.3 V to 5.5 V input, delivers up to 1.2 A output current, and supports 2.3 V output voltage with ±1.5% accuracy over line/load/temperature. Its 0.9 µV rms (100 Hz–100 kHz) noise and 82 dB PSRR at 1 kHz–100 kHz make it suitable for powering VCOs and PLLs in microwave backhaul systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADP7157ARDZ-02-R7 datasheet, ADP7157ARDZ-02-R7 pinout, ADP7157ARDZ-02-R7 application, or ADP7157ARDZ-02-R7 equivalent, key selection criteria include output noise spectral density (1.7 nV/√Hz), dropout voltage (120 mV @ 1.2 A), precision enable threshold (1.13–1.31 V logic high), thermal performance (θJA = 53.8°C/W in LFCSP), and compatibility with 10 µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The ADP7157ARDZ-02-R7 uses a P-channel MOSFET pass element with unity-gain error amplifier architecture, enabling output noise independent of output voltage setting. Its internal reference is heavily filtered to achieve 1.7 nV/√Hz noise spectral density from 10 kHz to 1 MHz.
This variant (−02) is specifically characterized for VIN = 2.8 V and VOUT = 2.3 V, delivering 72 dB PSRR from 1 kHz to 100 kHz and 53 dB at 1 MHz. It integrates programmable precision enable, undervoltage lockout (UVLO rise threshold 2.22 V), and thermal shutdown at 150°C with 15°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Adjustable 1.2 V to 3.3 V; ADP7157ARDZ-02-R7 is factory-configured for 2.3 V nominal output via external resistor divider. |
| Noise (100 Hz–100 kHz) | 0.9 µV rms - enables clean biasing of phase-locked loops without spurious sideband degradation. |
| PSRR (1 kHz–100 kHz) | 72 dB - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding RF signal chains. |
| Dropout Voltage | 120 mV typical @ 1.2 A, 2.3 V - allows operation with minimal headroom in battery-powered 2.5 V rail systems. |
| Load Regulation | 0.3 %/A - ensures stable output under dynamic RF PA load transients without droop-induced frequency drift. |
| Enable Threshold | Logic high: 1.13–1.31 V; enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V GPIO without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 53.8°C/W (10-lead LFCSP) - requires ≥4-layer PCB with exposed pad soldered to ground plane for full 1.2 A capability. |
Pinout & Package
ADP7157ARDZ-02-R7 is packaged in a 10-lead, 3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP with exposed thermal pad electrically connected to GND. The package provides low thermal resistance (θJA = 53.8°C/W) and supports high-current operation in compact RF modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 10) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.3–5.5 V; requires ≥10 µF ceramic capacitor to ground for stability and transient response. |
| VOUT (Pins 1, 2) | Regulated output | Delivers up to 1.2 A; bypassed with 10 µF ceramic capacitor; dual pins reduce IR drop and improve current sharing. |
| VOUT_SENSE (Pin 3) | Remote output sensing | Connects directly to load point to compensate for PCB trace IR drop; internally tied to VOUT via 10 Ω resistor. |
| BYP (Pin 4) | Noise filter node | Connects 1 µF ceramic capacitor to ground to reduce reference noise; critical for achieving 1.7 nV/√Hz spectral density. |
| EN (Pin 5) | Enable control input | Active-high logic; 1.13–1.31 V threshold enables direct drive from 1.8 V microcontrollers; 0.2 µA shutdown current. |
| REF_SENSE (Pin 6) | Feedback reference input | Sets output voltage via external resistor divider (VOUT = 1.2 V × (R1 + R2)/R2); max 10 nA leakage minimizes divider error. |
| REF (Pin 7) | Internal 1.2 V reference output | Low-noise buffered reference; must be bypassed with ≥1 µF capacitor; shorted to REF_SENSE for fixed-output configuration. |
| VREG (Pin 8) | Internal LDO amplifier supply | Provides regulated bias to control circuitry; bypassed with 1 µF capacitor; UVLO protection prevents startup below 1.94 V. |
| GND (Exposed Pad) | Power and thermal ground | Electrically connected to internal GND; must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation and noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow output noise | 0.9 µV rms (100 Hz–100 kHz) and 1.7 nV/√Hz (10 kHz–1 MHz) - preserves phase noise integrity in VCOs and synthesizers. |
| High PSRR across frequency | 72 dB (1 kHz–100 kHz) and 53 dB (1 MHz) at 2.3 V output - rejects ripple from switching regulators in mixed-signal RF platforms. |
| Stability with ceramic capacitors | Guaranteed stable with ≥7 µF X7R/X5R ceramic output capacitor - eliminates need for tantalum or electrolytic bulk capacitance. |
| Precision enable with hysteresis | 1.13–1.31 V logic high threshold and 90 mV hysteresis - prevents chatter during power-rail ramp-up in multi-rail systems. |
| Thermal and current protection | 150°C thermal shutdown with 15°C hysteresis and current limit at 1.4–2.4 A - safeguards against overload in compact enclosures. |
| Low quiescent current | 4.0 mA typical at zero load - reduces standby power in always-on RF receivers and IoT edge nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultralow-noise LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADP7157ARDZ-04-R7 | Optimized for 3.3 V output (VIN = 3.8 V); delivers 82 dB PSRR vs. 72 dB for −02 at same frequency band. | Higher output voltage suits FPGA I/O banks or ADC analog supplies; not suitable for 2.3 V VCO bias where headroom is constrained. | Select −04 only when target output is ≥3.0 V and input rail is ≥3.8 V; otherwise −02 provides better efficiency at 2.3 V. |
| ADM7150ACPZ-2.3-R7 | Fixed 2.3 V output; lower 800 mA current rating; 0.75 µV rms noise (100 Hz–100 kHz); 10-lead LFCSP package. | Lacks adjustability and remote sense; simpler BOM but no flexibility for future voltage scaling or load-point compensation. | Choose ADM7150 for cost-sensitive, fixed-voltage designs where 800 mA suffices and layout space permits identical footprint. |
Compared with ADP7157ARDZ-04-R7, the ADP7157ARDZ-02-R7 trades 10 dB PSRR for optimal efficiency at 2.3 V output, while ADM7150ACPZ-2.3-R7 offers lower noise and cost but sacrifices current capability and design flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the ADP7157ARDZ-02-R7?
The ADP7157ARDZ-02-R7 supports a maximum continuous output current of 1.2 A when thermally managed per its LFCSP package specifications (θJA = 53.8°C/W). Derating is required above 85°C ambient or with insufficient PCB copper area; current limit triggers between 1.4 A and 2.4 A depending on junction temperature.
Does the ADP7157ARDZ-02-R7 require external components for stability?
Yes, the ADP7157ARDZ-02-R7 requires specific external capacitors: ≥10 µF ceramic on VIN and VOUT, ≥1 µF on VREG, REF, and BYP, and ≥0.1 µF on CBYP. These values are validated for stability across −40°C to +125°C; X7R or X5R dielectrics are mandatory - Y5V/Z5U types cause instability.
How does the ADP7157ARDZ-02-R7 achieve its ultralow noise performance?
The ADP7157ARDZ-02-R7 achieves 0.9 µV rms (100 Hz–100 kHz) noise through a heavily filtered internal 1.2 V reference, unity-gain error amplifier architecture, and dedicated BYP pin for external 1 µF low-ESR capacitor. Its noise spectral density remains flat at 1.7 nV/√Hz from 10 kHz to 1 MHz, independent of output voltage setting.
Can the ADP7157ARDZ-02-R7 be used with a 2.5 V input supply?
Yes, the ADP7157ARDZ-02-R7 operates with input voltages as low as 2.3 V. With a 2.5 V input and 2.3 V output, dropout is 200 mV - within specification (max 170 mV typical at 1.2 A). Performance remains valid, though PSRR degrades slightly versus higher headroom conditions per Figure 22 in the datasheet.
What is the purpose of the VOUT_SENSE pin on the ADP7157ARDZ-02-R7?
The VOUT_SENSE pin on the ADP7157ARDZ-02-R7 enables remote voltage sensing at the load to compensate for IR drop across PCB traces. Internally connected to VOUT via a 10 Ω resistor, it must be routed directly to the load's power pin - ensuring regulation accuracy remains ±1.5% even with 100 mΩ trace resistance under full 1.2 A load.
