Product details
Overview
LD1086BV-DG from STMicroelectronics is a 1.5 A adjustable low-dropout linear voltage regulator with 1.25 V internal reference, ±1% output voltage tolerance at 25 °C, 1.3 V typical dropout at full load, and operation from −40 °C to +125 °C. It delivers stable 1.8 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V fixed outputs or programmable output via external resistor divider in industrial power rails and embedded system supply domains.
For engineers reviewing the LD1086BV-DG datasheet, LD1086BV-DG pinout, LD1086BV-DG application, or LD1086BV-DG equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under 1.5 A load, adjust pin current stability across input range, thermal regulation performance, and compatibility with minimal 10 µF output capacitance for stability.
Technical Context
The LD1086BV-DG implements an NPN-based LDO architecture with on-chip trimmed 1.25 V bandgap reference and integrated thermal/overcurrent protection. Its adjust pin draws only 40–120 µA, enabling high-efficiency operation since quiescent current flows into the load rather than being wasted as bias current.
It supports both fixed-output (via internal resistor network) and adjustable configurations using two external resistors. Dropout voltage remains ≤1.5 V up to 1.5 A output current, with line and load regulation specified down to ±0.4 mV and ±10 mV respectively over full temperature and load range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | Guaranteed 1.5 A continuous; enables single-regulator powering of FPGA I/O banks or microcontroller core/logic rails. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.3 V typical at 1.5 A; allows operation with only 1.3 V headroom-e.g., 5 V input → 3.7 V output possible. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.25 V ±1.5% (1.231–1.269 V); sets precision for adjustable output configurations using R1/R2 divider. |
| Output Tolerance | ±1% at 25 °C, ±2% over −40 °C to +125 °C; ensures reliable logic-level compliance for 3.3 V or 5 V digital systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 5–10 mA max; flows into load-not ground-improving efficiency vs. PNP-based regulators. |
| Stability Capacitor | 10 µF minimum ceramic or tantalum; eliminates need for complex compensation networks in compact PCB layouts. |
| Thermal Protection | Internally enabled; shuts down above safe junction temperature and auto-recovers when cooled-no external circuitry required. |
Pinout & Package
LD1086BV-DG is supplied in DFN8 (4x4) package with exposed thermal pad. The TAB is electrically connected to the OUTPUT pin for optimal thermal conduction to PCB copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.85–30 V DC; must be ≥ (VOUT + Vd) to maintain regulation. |
| 2 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers precise output; connects directly to load and serves as thermal path via exposed pad. |
| 3 (ADJ/GND) | Adjust/reference return | In adjustable mode: sets output via R1/R2 divider; in fixed mode: internally tied to GND reference node. |
| 4–8 (NC) | No connect | Not bonded; left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability-no electrical function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin-to-pin compatible | Replaces legacy 3-terminal adjustable regulators (e.g., LM317) without layout change. |
| Tight output tolerance | ±1% at 25 °C achieved via on-chip laser trimming-reduces need for post-production calibration. |
| Low dropout | 1.3 V typ. @ 1.5 A enables use in battery-powered systems where input voltage sags near output level. |
| Load-connected quiescent current | Iq flows into load instead of ground, improving efficiency by ~0.5–1% at light loads versus PNP regulators. |
| Wide temp range | −40 °C to +125 °C operation certified per industrial grade spec-suitable for under-hood or factory-floor environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM317LDR2G | Higher 1.9 V dropout at 100 mA; ±2% output tolerance; no thermal foldback-only shutdown. | Lacks automotive temp rating and tight tolerance needed for precision analog rails. | Prefer for cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs where dropout margin >2 V is available. |
| TLV1117-33CDCYR | Lower 1.2 V dropout but limited to 800 mA; fixed 3.3 V only; no adjustable option. | Suitable only for fixed-voltage, sub-1 A loads-cannot replace LD1086BV-DG in programmable or 1.5 A applications. | Select when board space is constrained and output voltage is fixed at 3.3 V with <1 A requirement. |
Compared with LM317LDR2G and TLV1117-33CDCYR, LD1086BV-DG uniquely combines 1.5 A capability, adjustable/fixed flexibility, ±1% tolerance, and automotive-grade thermal resilience-making it the only choice for high-current, precision, multi-voltage industrial power designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum output capacitor required for stability with LD1086BV-DG?
A minimum 10 µF ceramic or tantalum capacitor is required at the output for guaranteed stability across all operating conditions. Lower values may cause oscillation, especially with high-ESR capacitors or under transient load steps. ST recommends X7R dielectric ceramics with ≤100 mΩ ESR for optimal phase margin.
Can LD1086BV-DG be used in adjustable mode with a 2.5 V output?
Yes-LD1086BV-DG supports adjustable output using the ADJ pin and external resistor divider. With VREF = 1.25 V, a 2.5 V output requires R1 = R2 (e.g., 2.4 kΩ each). Output accuracy depends on resistor tolerance and temperature drift; ±0.1% resistors yield ±0.2% added error beyond the IC's ±1% baseline.
Does LD1086BV-DG require a bypass capacitor on the ADJ pin?
No external ADJ pin capacitor is mandatory, but adding 1–10 µF between ADJ and GND improves ripple rejection and load transient response in sensitive analog applications. This capacitor does not affect DC accuracy but reduces AC error coupling from the reference node.
Is the DFN8 (4x4) package of LD1086BV-DG RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes-LD1086BV-DG in DFN8 (4x4) meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. STMicroelectronics provides full material declarations and substance compliance documentation upon request through authorized distribution channels.
