Product details
Overview
L7824ABD2T-TR from STMicroelectronics is a three-terminal positive linear voltage regulator delivering a fixed 24 V output with up to 1.5 A continuous current, thermal overload and short-circuit protection, ±2 % output voltage tolerance (A version), and guaranteed operation from –40 °C to +125 °C junction temperature - used for stable local regulation in industrial power supplies and embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the L7824ABD2T-TR datasheet, L7824ABD2T-TR pinout, L7824ABD2T-TR application, or L7824ABD2T-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (2 V at 1 A), load regulation (≤100 mV over 5 mA–1 A), supply voltage rejection (54 dB at 120 Hz), thermal resistance (RthJC = 3 °C/W in D²PAK), and extended-temperature qualification for harsh-environment deployment.
Technical Context
This IC implements a monolithic series-pass linear regulator architecture with internal current limiting, safe-area protection, and thermal shutdown circuitry - enabling robust operation without external protection components. Its fixed-output design eliminates need for feedback resistors while maintaining tight DC accuracy across load and line variations.
It operates with a minimum input-to-output differential of 2 V (dropout) and requires only two external capacitors (0.33 µF input, 0.1 µF output) for stability. The device embeds no switching elements, delivering low-noise regulated DC (10 µV/V RMS noise, 10 Hz–100 kHz) suitable for analog-sensitive subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 24 V ±2 % (guaranteed over –40 °C to +125 °C junction temp) |
| Max Output Current | 1.5 A continuous (internally limited; requires heatsink above ~0.5 A in D²PAK) |
| Dropout Voltage | 2 V at 1 A load and 25 °C - defines minimum input voltage (≥26 V) for regulation |
| Line Regulation | ≤240 mV over VI = 27–38 V (specifies sensitivity to input ripple/noise) |
| Load Regulation | ≤100 mV from 5 mA to 1 A (ensures stable rail under dynamic load steps) |
| Supply Rejection | 54 dB at 120 Hz (attenuates rectified AC ripple entering via input) |
| Output Noise | 10 µV/V RMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - supports low-noise analog circuitry |
| Thermal Resistance | RthJC = 3 °C/W (D²PAK package) - enables high-power dissipation with minimal case rise |
Pinout & Package
D²PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad; thermally optimized for PCB copper pour heatsinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Input) | VIN | Unregulated DC input (max 40 V); must be ≥26 V for 24 V output regulation |
| 2 (Ground) | GND | Reference node for output and internal bias; connects to system ground plane |
| 3 (Output) | VOUT | Stable 24 V regulated output; decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Extended Temperature Range | –40 °C to +125 °C operating junction temperature - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Output Voltage Tolerance | ±2 % at 25 °C - reduces need for post-regulation trimming in precision 24 V systems |
| Integrated Protection | Thermal shutdown, short-circuit current limit (0.2 A steady-state), and safe-operating-area (SOA) control - eliminates discrete protection circuitry |
| Low Quiescent Current | 4.6–6 mA typical - minimizes standby power loss in always-on 24 V auxiliary rails |
| Capacitor-Free Stability | Stable with 0.33 µF input / 0.1 µF output ceramics - simplifies layout and lowers BOM count |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM7824CD2T | ±4 % output tolerance, 0 to +125 °C range, RthJC = 5 °C/W (D²PAK), higher quiescent current (8 mA) | Lacks extended temperature rating; less suitable for cold-weather outdoor equipment | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision and wide-temp requirements |
| MC7824BD2TG | ±2 % tolerance, –40 to +125 °C, but RthJC = 4.5 °C/W and lower short-circuit current (0.15 A) | Slightly reduced thermal performance and fault-current margin vs. L7824ABD2T-TR | Prefer where ON Semiconductor's qualification history aligns with legacy designs |
Compared with LM7824CD2T and MC7824BD2TG, the L7824ABD2T-TR offers superior thermal efficiency (3 °C/W), tighter initial tolerance, and higher short-circuit peak current (2.2 A), making it optimal for high-reliability, thermally constrained 24 V systems requiring long-term stability.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation with L7824ABD2T-TR?
The minimum input voltage is 26 V DC, derived from the 24 V nominal output plus the 2 V dropout voltage specified at 1 A and 25 °C. At higher junction temperatures or full 1.5 A load, derating is required - consult thermal data and Figure 4 in DS0422 to ensure sufficient headroom for safe operation.
Can L7824ABD2T-TR be used without input/output capacitors?
No - the datasheet mandates a 0.33 µF input capacitor (tantalum or ceramic) and 0.1 µF output capacitor (ceramic) for stability across all operating conditions. Omitting either risks oscillation, poor transient response, or thermal runaway under load step changes.
How does the thermal protection behave during overload?
When junction temperature exceeds ~165 °C, the IC initiates thermal shutdown, reducing output current to near zero until die temperature falls by ~10 °C. Recovery is automatic and does not require power cycle - this protects against sustained short circuits or inadequate heatsinking without latch-up.
Is L7824ABD2T-TR compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles?
Yes - the D²PAK package is rated for standard Pb-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260 °C for 30 seconds. The device's plastic body and internal construction meet RoHS and REACH compliance requirements without special handling.
