Product details
Overview
LD2982BM15R from STMicroelectronics is a 50 mA fixed-output low-dropout linear voltage regulator with 1.5 V output, ultra-low dropout (7 mV at 1 mA), 30 µVRMS output noise, logic-controlled inhibit function, and SOT23-5L package - designed for noise-sensitive, battery-powered portable electronics requiring precise local regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LD2982BM15R datasheet, LD2982BM15R pinout, LD2982BM15R application, or LD2982BM15R equivalent, this regulator delivers verified low-noise performance in compact footprint, supports TTL-compatible shutdown control, and enables sub-1 µA sleep-mode current draw - critical for power budgeting in handheld and wearable systems.
Technical Context
The LD2982BM15R integrates a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout voltage and minimal quiescent current across load range. Its internal feedback loop is optimized for stability with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors and includes dedicated bypass pin (Pin 4) for external 10 nF capacitor to reduce thermal noise to 30 µVRMS.
Inhibit logic operates at Pin 3 with TTL-compatible thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.15 V, VIH ≥ 2 V); pulling INHIBIT low disables output and reduces quiescent current to <1 µA. The device features internal current and thermal limiting, reverse-current protection (no body diode), and operates over –40 °C to +125 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.5 V ±1% (at 25 °C, A-version tolerance) - ensures stable core supply for low-voltage microcontrollers and sensors. |
| Dropout Voltage | 7 mV at 1 mA load - enables regulation from input as low as 1.507 V, extending battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion or alkaline systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 100 µA typ. at 1 mA load; <1 µA in inhibit-off state - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems. |
| Output Noise | 30 µVRMS (300 Hz–50 kHz, with 10 nF bypass cap) - meets stringent noise requirements for RF front-ends and precision ADC references. |
| Supply Rejection | 45 dB typ. at 1 kHz - suppresses ripple from noisy DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Stability Capacitor | 1 µF ceramic output capacitor sufficient for VO = 1.5 V - eliminates need for costly low-ESR tantalum or polymer caps. |
| Operating Temp | –40 °C to +125 °C junction - supports industrial and automotive under-hood ambient conditions when derated. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5L package: 5-pin surface-mount, 1.3 mm height, 2.8 × 1.75 mm footprint, ECOPACK® compliant, thermal resistance RthJA = 255 °C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Input voltage supply port | Accepts 2.5–16 V DC; requires 1 µF input capacitor within 12.7 mm of pin for transient immunity. |
| 2 GND | Ground reference | Analog ground return for feedback network and bypass capacitor; must be low-impedance path to system ground plane. |
| 3 INHIBIT | Logic-controlled enable/disable input | TTL-compatible; drives regulator into <1 µA shutdown when ≤0.15 V; must not float - tie to VI if unused. |
| 4 Bypass | Noise-reduction terminal | Connects external 10 nF capacitor to GND to lower output noise from 60 µVRMS to 30 µVRMS. |
| 5 OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 1.5 V ±1% at up to 50 mA; requires 1 µF ceramic output cap placed ≤12.7 mm from pin for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 7 mV at 1 mA enables operation with <10 mV headroom - ideal for single-cell battery systems near end-of-life. |
| Sub-µA shutdown | <1 µA quiescent current in inhibit mode extends shelf life and enables long-term sensor wake-on-event designs. |
| Low-noise architecture | 30 µVRMS output noise with 10 nF bypass cap meets noise floor requirements for audio codecs and RF synthesizers. |
| Capacitor flexibility | Stable with 1 µF ceramic output cap - avoids cost/size penalties of tantalum and simplifies BOM for high-volume portable designs. |
| Reverse-current blocking | No intrinsic body diode between IN and OUT - prevents backfeed when output voltage exceeds input (e.g., hot-swap scenarios). |
Applications
| Wearable Health Sensor Node | Portable Audio DAC Supply |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Ultra-low-power ECG/PPG sensor node powered by coin cell, requiring continuous analog front-end bias with minimal self-heating. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Local 1.5 V LDO supplying ADC reference and op-amp rails, synchronized to MCU sleep/wake cycles via INHIBIT pin. Use Value: 7 mV dropout preserves usable battery voltage down to 1.507 V; 30 µVRMS noise prevents baseline drift in sub-µV biomedical signals. |

| Industrial Wireless Sensor Transmitter | Smart Card Reader IC Power |
|
Use Scenario: LoRaWAN node operating in remote locations with wide-temperature outdoor deployment (-40 °C to +85 °C ambient). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary 1.5 V regulator for ultra-low-power MCU and sub-GHz transceiver, controlled by host MCU GPIO. Use Value: –40 °C to +125 °C junction rating ensures reliability; <1 µA shutdown current enables 10+ year battery life in periodic transmit mode. |
Use Scenario: Contactless smart card reader in point-of-sale terminal, requiring fast, glitch-free 1.5 V ramp for secure element initialization. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision 1.5 V supply for ISO/IEC 14443-A/B secure microcontroller, enabled only during card presence detection. Use Value: ±1% output tolerance guarantees compliance with secure IC voltage specs; TTL-compatible INHIBIT allows direct GPIO control without level-shifting. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, low-IQ LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6206P152MR | 1.5 V, 100 mA, 120 mV dropout @ 100 mA, 1 µA IQ, SOT23-3 (no INHIBIT or Bypass pins) | Lacks inhibit control and noise-reduction bypass pin - requires external enable circuitry and higher-noise design margin. | Select when higher output current (100 mA) is needed and board space permits discrete enable logic. |
| ROHM BD05HA5WEFJ-C | 1.5 V, 50 mA, 120 mV dropout @ 50 mA, 25 µA IQ, 40 µVRMS noise, HTSOP-J8 package | Larger 8-pin HTSOP-J8 footprint, no dedicated bypass pin, higher dropout limits low-VIN use cases. | Prefer when thermal dissipation >1 W is required and PCB area allows larger package; avoid for coin-cell systems. |
Compared with XC6206P152MR and BD05HA5WEFJ-C, the LD2982BM15R uniquely combines sub-10 mV dropout, <1 µA shutdown, and integrated bypass noise reduction in SOT23-5L - making it optimal for miniaturized, battery-critical, low-noise applications where pin count and headroom are constrained.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 1.5 V output?
The LD2982BM15R maintains regulation with input as low as 1.507 V due to its 7 mV dropout at 1 mA load. At 50 mA, dropout rises to 120 mV, requiring minimum input of 1.62 V. Input must remain ≥2.5 V for full specification compliance per datasheet absolute maximum ratings.
Can the INHIBIT pin be left unconnected?
No - the INHIBIT pin has no internal pull-up or pull-down. Leaving it floating risks undefined output state and potential oscillation. When not used, it must be hard-wired to the IN pin to ensure continuous operation, as specified in Section 6.5 of the datasheet.
Is an external capacitor required on the Bypass pin?
Yes - a 10 nF capacitor between Bypass (Pin 4) and GND is required to achieve the specified 30 µVRMS output noise. Without it, noise increases to ~60 µVRMS. The capacitor must be placed adjacent to the pin with short, low-inductance traces to GND.
Does the LD2982BM15R support reverse-current protection?
Yes - the internal PNP pass transistor lacks an inherent body diode, preventing reverse current flow from OUT to IN when output voltage exceeds input. Reverse current is limited to ~160 µA through internal feedback resistors, confirmed in Section 6.6 and Figure 17 of the datasheet.
