Product details
Overview
LD29150PT50R from STMicroelectronics is a fixed-output 5.0 V, 1.5 A low-dropout linear regulator in PPAK package with 400 mV typical dropout at full load, ±1% output voltage accuracy over temperature, and logic-controlled electronic shutdown. It delivers stable post-regulation for switching power supplies and powers sensitive analog/digital circuitry in battery-powered systems where ultra-low dropout and ground current are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LD29150PT50R datasheet, LD29150PT50R pinout, LD29150PT50R application, or LD29150PT50R equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 1.5 A output current, thermal shutdown at 150 °C, 200 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz), and compatibility with 10 µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LD29150PT50R implements a high-accuracy bandgap reference and internal current-limiting circuitry to maintain regulation under transient load steps up to 1.5 A. Its PPAK package provides 8 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, enabling operation at full rated current without external heatsinking in ambient temperatures up to 125 °C.
It features an inhibit (INH) input that enables logic-level control of output state, with valid logic-low threshold ≤0.8 V and logic-high threshold ≥2.0 V. The device enters automatic shutdown when input voltage exceeds 14 V or junction temperature reaches 150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | 5.0 V ±1% (4.95–5.05 V) at 10 mA–1.5 A load, ensuring stable supply for 5 V microcontrollers and peripherals. |
| Dropout voltage | 0.4 V typ. at 1.5 A, allowing operation with only 5.4 V input for 5 V output - critical for battery systems near end-of-discharge. |
| Quiescent current | 30–80 mA at 1.5 A load, minimizing idle power loss in always-on embedded applications. |
| Thermal shutdown | 150 °C junction temperature, providing robust protection during overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Output noise | 200 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz), suitable for noise-sensitive analog circuits like ADC references or audio amplifiers. |
| Supply rejection | 49–64 dB at 120 Hz, suppressing ripple from upstream switching converters in hybrid power architectures. |
| Short-circuit current | 2.2 A, limiting fault energy while maintaining safe SOA during output shorts. |
Pinout & Package
LD29150PT50R uses the PPAK (Power Package) thermally enhanced surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (D²PAK-compatible footprint). Dimensions: 6.0 × 6.4 × 10.1 mm (L × W × H), with 8 °C/W RthJC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 6–10.5 V DC input; clamps internally above 14 V to prevent damage. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for load, bias, and thermal pad; must be low-impedance for stability. |
| 3 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 5.0 V ±1% to load; requires ≥10 µF ceramic capacitor for stability per datasheet. |
| 4 (INH) | Inhibit control input | Active-low enable: <0.8 V = OFF, >2.0 V = ON; draws ≤10 µA when asserted. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 0.4 V typ. at 1.5 A enables single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) + boost or multi-cell NiMH operation down to 5.4 V input. |
| Logic-controlled shutdown | INH pin supports system-level power sequencing and standby mode with <180 µA quiescent current in shutdown. |
| High accuracy output | ±1% tolerance over -40 to +125 °C ensures reliable operation in automotive cabin and industrial environments. |
| Integrated protection | Internal current limit and thermal shutdown eliminate need for external foldback or thermal sensors. |
| Low-noise regulation | 200 µVRMS noise allows direct powering of precision analog stages without additional LDO filtering. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | Automotive Infotainment Power Rails |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LD29150DT50R | DPAK package (RthJA = 100 °C/W vs. PPAK's 100 °C/W, but RthJC = 8 °C/W identical); same electrical specs. | No exposed thermal pad; requires larger copper area for equivalent thermal performance. | Select DT50R for legacy DPAK-compatible layouts or manual assembly; PT50R preferred for automated SMT with thermal pad reflow. |
| TSM1050 | 5 V fixed, 1.5 A LDO with 0.5 V dropout (typ.), 100 µVRMS noise, no INH pin, TO-252 package. | Lacks logic shutdown; higher noise margin but lower thermal performance (RthJC ≈ 12 °C/W). | Choose TSM1050 only if INH functionality is unused and board space permits TO-252; otherwise PT50R offers superior integration. |
Compared with LD29150DT50R, the PT50R offers identical regulation performance with improved manufacturability via PPAK's thermal pad; versus TSM1050, it adds essential enable control and lower noise at the cost of slightly higher quiescent current.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable 5.0 V output at 1.5 A?
The LD29150PT50R requires a minimum input voltage of 5.4 V (5.0 V + 0.4 V dropout) to maintain regulation at 1.5 A load. Below this, output voltage collapses linearly with input; datasheet specifies VI ≥ 6 V for guaranteed 5.0 V operation across temperature and line/load conditions.
Can the INH pin be left unconnected, or does it require a pull-up/down resistor?
The INH pin must not be left floating. For default-enable operation, connect INH to VIN through a 10 kΩ resistor; for default-disable, tie INH to GND. Floating INH may cause erratic output behavior due to noise coupling, as the logic threshold is 0.8 V (low) and 2.0 V (high).
Is a 10 µF ceramic output capacitor sufficient for stability across all operating conditions?
Yes - ST specifies 10 µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitors (with ESR < 100 mΩ) as sufficient for unconditional stability across 10 mA–1.5 A loads and -40 to +125 °C. Larger values improve transient response but are not required; tantalum or aluminum electrolytics are not recommended due to ESR and aging effects.
How does thermal performance compare between PPAK and DPAK packages at 1.5 A continuous load?
Both packages share identical 8 °C/W RthJC, but PPAK's exposed thermal pad enables lower RthJA in optimized PCB layouts (e.g., 4-layer board with 2-in² 2-oz copper pour). At 1.5 A, PPAK typically runs 8–12 °C cooler than DPAK under identical board conditions, delaying thermal shutdown onset.
