Product details
Overview
LD29080DT25R from STMicroelectronics is a fixed-output 2.5 V, 800 mA low-dropout linear regulator in DPAK package, featuring 0.4 V typical dropout at full load, ±1% output voltage accuracy over temperature, and logic-controlled electronic shutdown. It delivers stable power for microcontroller core supplies, FPGA I/O banks, and battery-powered instrumentation where low quiescent current (14–35 mA at 800 mA) and tight regulation are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LD29080DT25R datasheet, LD29080DT25R pinout, LD29080DT25R application, or LD29080DT25R equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 800 mA, thermal resistance (RthJA = 100 °C/W), shutdown control interface compatibility, and output noise (100 µVRMS) in sensitive analog subsystems.
Technical Context
The LD29080DT25R implements a PNP pass transistor architecture with internal current and thermal limiting, enabling robust operation without external protection components. Its fixed 2.5 V output is trimmed at 25 °C with ±1% tolerance maintained across –40 to +125 °C via on-chip bandgap reference and error amplifier feedback.
Shutdown is controlled by an inhibit pin requiring ≥2 V to enable operation; it draws only 130–180 µA in shutdown mode. The device supports input voltages from 3.5 V to 13 V and maintains 55–70 dB supply voltage rejection at 120 Hz with 400 mA load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±1% (2.475–2.525 V) at –40 to +125 °C, ensuring stable MCU core rail under thermal stress |
| Max output current | 800 mA guaranteed, supporting mid-power SoCs and multi-rail PMIC secondary stages |
| Dropout voltage | 0.4 V typ. at 800 mA (0.7 V max), enabling 2.5 V output from 3.2 V input - critical for Li-ion single-cell systems |
| Quiescent current | 14–35 mA at 800 mA load, balancing efficiency vs. transient response in always-on subsystems |
| Output noise | 100 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz), suitable for ADC reference supplies and RF bias rails |
| Supply rejection | 55–70 dB at 120 Hz, suppressing ripple from upstream switching converters |
| Thermal resistance | RthJA = 100 °C/W (DPAK), enabling 800 mA operation up to +85 °C ambient with minimal heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
DPAK (TO-252) package: surface-mount, 3-pin, exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation; compatible with standard PCB reflow profiles and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VI | Input voltage supply | Accepts 3.5–13 V DC; must be decoupled with ≥330 nF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference and thermal path | Common return for all circuits; connects to large copper pour for thermal management |
| 3 - VO | Regulated output | Delivers 2.5 V ±1%; requires ≥10 µF low-ESR output capacitor for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Very low dropout | 0.4 V typ. at 800 mA enables operation from single Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) or 3.3 V buck output |
| Logic-controlled shutdown | Inhibit pin accepts 2–13 V to enable/disable regulator; draws only 130–180 µA in shutdown |
| Internal protection | Integrated current limit and thermal shutdown prevent damage during overload or poor heatsinking |
| High accuracy output | ±1% initial tolerance and <1% total variation over –40 to +125 °C ensures reliable digital logic margining |
| Low noise performance | 100 µVRMS output noise avoids degradation of precision ADCs and low-phase-noise oscillators |
Applications
| Microcontroller Core Supply | FPGA I/O Bank Regulation |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TSM10802DTR | 2.5 V fixed, 800 mA, RthJA = 90 °C/W, higher Iq (45 mA typ. at 800 mA) | Larger dropout (0.55 V typ.) and higher noise (150 µVRMS) reduce suitability for noise-sensitive analog rails | Prefer when board space permits larger thermal pad or when higher quiescent current is acceptable for cost savings |
| AP2210K-2.5TRG1 | 2.5 V fixed, 500 mA, RthJA = 110 °C/W, lower Iq (10 mA typ. at 500 mA) | Lower current rating limits use to sub-500 mA loads; not suitable for high-current MCU cores or FPGA banks | Select only for space-constrained designs with ≤400 mA average load and no thermal derating requirements |
Compared with TSM10802DTR and AP2210K-2.5TRG1, the LD29080DT25R offers superior thermal performance (100 °C/W vs. 90/110), lowest noise (100 µVRMS), and highest guaranteed current (800 mA), making it optimal for thermally demanding, mixed-signal applications requiring both precision and power density.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable 2.5 V output at 800 mA?
The LD29080DT25R requires a minimum input voltage of 2.9 V to maintain regulation at 800 mA, based on its 0.4 V typical dropout voltage. Operation below this threshold causes output collapse; datasheet specifies 3.5 V as recommended minimum for full-spec compliance across temperature and process variation.
Does the inhibit pin require a pull-up resistor for normal operation?
No external pull-up is required. The inhibit pin must be driven to ≥2 V to enable regulation; leaving it floating or connecting to GND forces shutdown. ST specifies no internal pull-up, so a dedicated voltage source (e.g., microcontroller GPIO or bias rail) is necessary for active control.
Can LD29080DT25R be used without an output capacitor?
No. The device requires a minimum 10 µF low-ESR ceramic output capacitor for stability, as confirmed in Figure 17 (Stability vs. CO) and Section 4 electrical conditions. Omitting it risks oscillation, especially under dynamic load changes, and violates absolute maximum ratings for output impedance.
How does thermal performance differ between DPAK and PPAK packages for this part?
Both DPAK and PPAK versions share identical RthJC = 8 °C/W and RthJA = 100 °C/W per Table 4. Mechanical data confirm identical thermal pad dimensions and mounting recommendations; therefore, PCB layout and copper area dominate thermal behavior - not package variant choice.
