Product details
Overview
LD1086D2T25TR from STMicroelectronics is a fixed-output 2.5 V, 1.5 A low-dropout linear voltage regulator in D²PAK package, featuring ±1% output tolerance at 25 °C, 1.3 V typical dropout at full load, and internal thermal/overcurrent protection. It serves as a stable local power source for microcontrollers, FPGAs, and analog circuitry in industrial control and embedded systems requiring precise, low-noise DC supply.
For engineers reviewing the LD1086D2T25TR datasheet, LD1086D2T25TR pinout, LD1086D2T25TR application, or LD1086D2T25TR equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 1.5 A output current, tight ±1% initial accuracy, dropout performance below 1.5 V across temperature, and compatibility with minimal 10 µF output capacitance for stability.
Technical Context
The LD1086D2T25TR implements a PNP-based LDO architecture with on-chip trimming for high output voltage accuracy and uses an internal reference (1.25 V) to regulate fixed 2.5 V output via resistor-free configuration. Its quiescent current flows into the load-not wasted as bias-improving efficiency over legacy PNP regulators.
It integrates thermal shutdown and current limiting, operates from −40 °C to +125 °C junction temperature, and maintains stability with ≥10 µF ceramic or tantalum output capacitors-no external adjust resistors required for the fixed 2.5 V variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±1% at 25 °C; ±2% over −40 °C to +125 °C - enables precision analog and digital rail generation without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 1.5 A continuous - supports high-current logic, sensor interfaces, and mixed-signal SoCs without derating in standard PCB layouts. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.3 V typical at 1.5 A - allows operation with input as low as 3.8 V while sustaining 2.5 V output, critical for battery-backed or post-regulation stages. |
| Quiescent Current | 5–10 mA - remains constant across load and input voltage, minimizing no-load power loss in always-on subsystems. |
| Thermal Protection | Internal junction temperature shutdown at ~150 °C - prevents damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking without external circuitry. |
| Stability Capacitor | 10 µF minimum CO (ceramic/tantalum) - eliminates need for ESR-tuned capacitors, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count. |
Pinout & Package
D²PAK (TO-263-3) package: thermally enhanced surface-mount outline with exposed tab electrically connected to OUTPUT pin; requires solder pad thermal relief per ST's recommended footprint (DocID6739 Rev 38, Fig. 33).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 4.1 V to 30 V DC; must be decoupled with ≥1 µF capacitor close to pin to suppress line transients. |
| 2 (OUTPUT) | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 2.5 V; tab is internally bonded to this pin-PCB copper area must be isolated from other nets unless tied to output ground plane. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path for load and internal regulation circuitry; requires short, wide trace to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin-to-pin compatibility | Matches legacy 3-terminal adjustable regulators (e.g., LM317 footprint), enabling drop-in replacement without layout change. |
| Load-connected quiescent current | Entire IQ flows into load-no wasted bias current-increasing effective efficiency by up to 0.7% at 100 mA load vs. conventional PNP LDOs. |
| Tight initial tolerance | ±1% at 25 °C ensures system-level margin compliance without post-production calibration in 2.5 V I/O or ADC reference applications. |
| Wide operating temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C junction range supports deployment in motor drives, automotive body controllers, and outdoor industrial equipment. |
| Short-circuit robustness | Sustains 1.5–2.3 A short-circuit current at 5 V dropout-enables safe fault handling without immediate latch-off or external current limiting. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | FPGA Core & Auxiliary Rails |
|---|---|
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fixed 2.5 V rail generator with ±1% accuracy ensuring setup/hold margins for LVCMOS25 I/O standards. Use Value: On-chip trimming eliminates need for external trimming resistors or post-silicon calibration, lowering assembly cost and test time. |
| Automotive Body Control Units | Medical Sensor Signal Chains |
|
Use Scenario: Regulating 2.5 V for LIN transceivers, EEPROMs, and LED drivers in BCM modules operating across −40 °C to +105 °C ambient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Automotive-grade power stage (AEC-Q100 qualified variant available) providing fault-tolerant 2.5 V under load dump and cold crank conditions. Use Value: Internal thermal shutdown and current limit protect against wiring faults and connector shorts without external protection components. |
Use Scenario: Powering low-noise instrumentation amplifiers and sigma-delta ADCs in portable patient monitors and diagnostic sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ultra-low-noise (0.003% RMS of VO) 2.5 V reference rail for precision analog front-ends requiring <10 µV ripple. Use Value: 82 dB supply rejection at 120 Hz suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters, preserving SNR in sub-16-bit measurements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV1117-25CDR | 2.5 V fixed, 800 mA max, 1.2 V dropout at 800 mA, SOT-223 package | Limited to lower current; lacks D²PAK thermal performance for sustained 1.5 A loads | Choose when board space is constrained and peak load ≤800 mA; avoid for thermally demanding 1.5 A applications. |
| LD1085DT25TR | Same family, 2.5 V fixed, but rated for 3 A output and larger D²PAK-5 package with separate ADJ pin | Higher current capability and adjustable option; not pin-compatible due to 5-pin layout | Choose only if future scalability to >1.5 A or adjustable output is required; LD1086D2T25TR offers optimal size/cost for 1.5 A fixed use. |
Compared with TLV1117-25CDR, LD1086D2T25TR delivers 88% higher current capacity and superior thermal resistance (RthJA = 62.5 °C/W vs. ~120 °C/W), while LD1085DT25TR trades pin compatibility for higher rating-making LD1086D2T25TR the optimal fixed 2.5 V, 1.5 A solution in D²PAK.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LD1086D2T25TR to maintain regulation at 1.5 A?
The minimum input voltage is calculated as VOUT + VDROP = 2.5 V + 1.5 V = 4.0 V (max dropout). At 1.5 A and 25 °C, typical dropout is 1.3 V, so 3.8 V suffices. However, worst-case dropout rises to 1.5 V over temperature and load, requiring ≥4.0 V input for guaranteed regulation across full operating conditions.
Can LD1086D2T25TR be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes-ST specifies stability with ≥10 µF ceramic (X5R/X7R) or tantalum capacitors. Unlike older LDOs, it does not require ESR-based damping; low-ESR ceramics are fully compatible and recommended for reduced board area and improved transient response.
Is the exposed tab on the D²PAK package electrically connected?
Yes-the metal tab is internally connected to the OUTPUT pin. PCB layout must either tie the tab directly to the 2.5 V output net (for thermal conduction) or isolate it completely; floating or grounding the tab causes functional failure or damage.
Does LD1086D2T25TR require an input bypass capacitor?
Yes-a minimum 1 µF capacitor (ceramic or tantalum) is required at the IN pin, placed as close as possible to the device. This suppresses high-frequency noise and prevents oscillation during line transients, especially when sourced from a switching regulator or long PCB traces.
