Product details
Overview
LD29080PT50R from STMicroelectronics is a fixed-output, 5.0 V, 800 mA low-dropout linear regulator in PPAK package with 0.4 V typical dropout at full load, ±1% output voltage accuracy over temperature, and logic-controlled electronic shutdown. It delivers stable post-regulation for DC-DC converter outputs and powers microcontroller cores in battery-backed industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the LD29080PT50R datasheet, LD29080PT50R pinout, LD29080PT50R application, or LD29080PT50R equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 800 mA, quiescent current across load range, thermal resistance (RthJA = 100 °C/W), and inhibit input compatibility with 2 V logic-high threshold.
Technical Context
The LD29080PT50R integrates internal current limiting and thermal shutdown circuitry, with an inhibit pin (INHIBIT) requiring ≥2 V to maintain regulation-no internal pull-up exists. Its reference voltage (1.23 V typ.) sets the fixed 5.0 V output via internal resistor divider, eliminating external feedback components.
Designed for medium-current loads, it operates from 6 V to 13 V input while maintaining regulation down to 0.4 V headroom at 800 mA. Output noise is 180 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz), and supply voltage rejection reaches 64 dB at 120 Hz with 400 mA load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | 5.0 V ±1% (4.95–5.05 V) over –40 to +125 °C; enables direct powering of 5 V logic without trimming. |
| Max output current | 800 mA guaranteed; supports single-rail MCU power domains and sensor interface circuits. |
| Dropout voltage | 0.4 V typ. at 800 mA; allows operation from 5.4 V input in battery systems with >10% voltage margin. |
| Quiescent current | 14–35 mA at 800 mA load; balances efficiency vs. transient response in always-on subsystems. |
| Supply rejection | 64 dB min. at 120 Hz, 400 mA load; suppresses ripple from upstream switching regulators. |
| Output noise | 180 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz); suitable for analog front-ends and precision ADC references. |
| Inhibit threshold | VIH = 2 V min.; compatible with 3.3 V GPIO without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
LD29080PT50R uses the PPAK (Power Package) thermally enhanced surface-mount package (6.0 × 6.6 × 2.4 mm), optimized for high-power density and low junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA = 100 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INHIBIT) | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; must be tied ≥2 V to enable regulation; no internal pull-up. |
| 2 (VI) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 6–13 V DC; internal protection limits operation above 14 V to shutdown mode. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for input, output, and control; requires low-impedance PCB plane for stability. |
| 4 (VO) | Regulated output | Delivers 5.0 V ±1%; requires 10 µF ceramic output capacitor for stability per datasheet. |
| 5 (N.C.) | No connection | Not bonded; left floating-no routing or soldering required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Very low dropout | 0.4 V typ. at 800 mA enables use in 5.5 V input systems where legacy LDOs fail. |
| Fixed 5.0 V output | ±1% accuracy over –40 to +125 °C eliminates need for external feedback resistors or calibration. |
| Logic-controlled shutdown | Inhibit pin accepts standard 3.3 V logic; draws only 5–10 µA when disabled. |
| Integrated protection | Internal current limit (1.2 A) and thermal shutdown prevent damage during overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Low-noise regulation | 180 µVRMS output noise supports noise-sensitive analog circuits without added filtering. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Automotive Body Control Unit |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV7555PDBVR | 500 mA max output; 0.22 V dropout at 500 mA; 25 µA quiescent current in active mode. | Limited to lower-current loads; better suited for ultra-low-power IoT sensors than industrial 800 mA rails. | Select if system load ≤500 mA and sub-30 µA active IQ is critical; not drop-in due to lower current rating. |
| MCP1703T-5002E/MB | 250 mA max output; 0.6 V dropout at 250 mA; RthJA = 150 °C/W in SOT-223. | Thermal derating begins earlier; unsuitable for sustained 800 mA in compact enclosures. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-power designs where thermal margin exceeds 25 °C and peak load <300 mA. |
Compared with TLV7555PDBVR and MCP1703T-5002E/MB, LD29080PT50R uniquely supports 800 mA continuous load with 0.4 V dropout and 100 °C/W thermal resistance in PPAK-making it the sole option among the three for thermally constrained, high-current 5 V regulation.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LD29080PT50R to regulate 5.0 V at 800 mA?
The minimum input voltage is 5.4 V, calculated as VO + VDROP = 5.0 V + 0.4 V (typical dropout at 800 mA). The device guarantees regulation down to this headroom across –40 to +125 °C, provided input does not exceed 13 V maximum operating voltage.
Does LD29080PT50R require an external capacitor on the INHIBIT pin?
No external capacitor is required on the INHIBIT pin. It is a CMOS-compatible digital input with 5–10 µA leakage current; a simple pull-up to 3.3 V or direct GPIO connection suffices. Datasheet Figure 4 confirms no filtering or decoupling is specified for this terminal.
Can LD29080PT50R be used without a load?
No. A minimum load current of 2 mA is mandatory to prevent output voltage rise due to internal leakage, as explicitly stated in Note 4 of Tables 5–12. Applications must ensure ≥2 mA sink (e.g., pull-down resistor or downstream bias) across all operating temperatures.
What is the recommended output capacitor for stability?
A 10 µF ceramic capacitor (X5R/X7R, 6.3 V rated) is required on VO per Table 5 test conditions and Figure 17 (stability vs. CO). Equivalent series resistance (ESR) should be <100 mΩ; tantalum or aluminum electrolytics are not recommended due to higher ESR and aging effects.
