Product details
Overview
LD2985BM285R from STMicroelectronics is a 150 mA fixed-output low-dropout linear voltage regulator with 2.85 V nominal output, 280 mV dropout at 150 mA, 30 µVrms output noise, and logic-controlled inhibit function. It operates from −40 °C to 125 °C in SOT23-5L and targets battery-powered portable electronics requiring ultra-low quiescent current and clean power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LD2985BM285R datasheet, LD2985BM285R pinout, LD2985BM285R application, or LD2985BM285R equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under load, inhibit input logic thresholds (VIL = 0.15 V, VIH = 2 V), thermal resistance (RthJA = 255 °C/W), bypass capacitor dependency for noise reduction, and SOT23-5L layout constraints.
Technical Context
The LD2985BM285R integrates a PNP pass transistor with internal current and thermal limiting, enabling stable 2.85 V regulation across 1–150 mA loads while maintaining sub-1 µA shutdown current when INHIBIT is pulled low. Its architecture relies on external 10 nF bypass capacitance between Bypass and GND to achieve 30 µVrms noise performance.
It features TTL-compatible inhibit control (Pin 3), no internal pull-up, and reverse-current blocking-no body diode between IN and OUT-preventing backfeed when VOUT > VIN. Line regulation is 0.003–0.014 %/V, and supply voltage rejection reaches 45 dB at 1 kHz with specified capacitors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | 2.85 V ±2.5% over −40 °C to 125 °C; ensures stable core voltage for 2.8 V–2.9 V logic domains |
| Dropout voltage | 280 mV at 150 mA; enables regulation down to VIN = 3.13 V, critical for single-cell Li-ion or Li-poly systems |
| Quiescent current | 80 µA at no load; drops to <1 µA in inhibit mode, extending battery life in standby states |
| Output noise | 30 µVrms (300 Hz–50 kHz); requires 10 nF CBYP to ground for spec compliance-directly impacts ADC reference stability |
| Supply rejection | 45 dB at 1 kHz; mitigates ripple from upstream switching converters without additional filtering stages |
| Inhibit threshold | VIL = 0.15 V max; compatible with open-drain GPIO or low-voltage logic without level-shifting |
| Thermal resistance | RthJA = 255 °C/W; limits continuous 150 mA operation to ≤75 °C ambient without PCB copper pour |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5L package: 5-pin surface-mount, 1.45 mm height, 2.95 mm × 1.60 mm footprint, exposed pad not electrically connected. Requires reflow profile compliant with JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.5–16 V DC; must be decoupled with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor within 12.7 mm of pin |
| 2 (GND) | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path for IN, OUT, and INHIBIT; connects to analog ground plane |
| 3 (INHIBIT) | Logic enable/disable control | TTL-compatible; drives regulator OFF when ≤0.15 V; must not float-tie to VI if unused |
| 4 (BYPASS) | Noise reduction node | Connects 10 nF ceramic capacitor to GND; reduces output noise from ~100 µVrms to 30 µVrms |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 2.85 V at up to 150 mA; requires 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor (low ESR) for stability per VO range |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 7 mV at 1 mA load enables micropower sensor biasing without headroom penalty |
| Sub-1 µA shutdown | Enables true zero-power sleep modes in wearables and IoT endpoints with precise timing wake-up |
| Bypass-capacitor noise reduction | 10 nF CBYP cuts broadband noise by >50%, meeting RF-sensitive analog front-end requirements |
| Reverse-current blocking | No body diode conduction prevents backfeed during hot-swap or multi-rail sequencing failures |
| Wide temperature range | −40 °C to 125 °C junction operation supports automotive cabin and industrial motor-control environments |

| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, inhibit-enabled LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6219B285MR-G | 280 mV dropout at 100 mA; 25 µVrms noise; no dedicated BYPASS pin-noise filtered via output cap only | Lacks separate bypass node; requires higher-output-capacitance solution for equivalent noise performance | Select when board space prohibits 10 nF BYPASS routing but 3.3 µF ceramic output cap is acceptable |
| Diodes Inc. AP2210K-2.85TRG1 | 350 mV dropout at 150 mA; 45 µVrms noise; 1.2 µA shutdown current (vs. <1 µA) | Higher dropout and noise limit use in high-precision analog or single-cell Li-ion systems | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial controls where 2.85 V tolerance ±3% and 70 °C ambient suffice |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 150 mA load?
The LD2985BM285R requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROP = 2.85 V + 0.28 V = 3.13 V to maintain regulation at 150 mA. Below this, output voltage collapses linearly with input; datasheet specifies absolute minimum operating input as 2.5 V, but regulation is not guaranteed below 3.13 V under full load.
Can the INHIBIT pin be left floating?
No-the INHIBIT pin has no internal pull-up or pull-down and must never be left floating. If unused, it must be tied directly to the IN pin to ensure permanent enable. Floating INHIBIT causes undefined output state and may result in erratic shutdown or oscillation due to noise coupling.
Is an external bypass capacitor mandatory for 30 µVrms noise performance?
Yes-30 µVrms noise is only achieved with a 10 nF ceramic capacitor connected between the BYPASS pin and GND. Without it, typical output noise rises to ~100 µVrms. The capacitor must be placed within 2 mm of the BYPASS and GND pins using short, low-inductance traces.
Does the LD2985BM285R support reverse-current protection?
Yes-it contains no intrinsic body diode between IN and OUT, so no reverse current flows when VOUT > VIN. Reverse current is limited to ~160 µA through internal feedback resistors (R1/R2), making it safe for hot-swap, multi-supply, or backup-battery configurations where output voltage may exceed input.
