Product details
Overview
LD39015M15R from STMicroelectronics is a 150 mA ultra-low-noise, low-quiescent-current LDO voltage regulator delivering a fixed 1.5 V output with ±2.0% accuracy at 25 °C, 80 mV typical dropout at 100 mA, 18 µA quiescent current at no load, and 29 µVRMS output noise (1.1–100 kHz) - designed for power-sensitive battery-operated systems such as mobile handsets and PDAs.
For engineers reviewing the LD39015M15R datasheet, LD39015M15R pinout, LD39015M15R application, or LD39015M15R equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 150 mA output under 1.5–5.5 V input, logic-controlled shutdown (<1 µA OFF-mode current), ceramic capacitor compatibility (COUT = 1 µF), thermal/short-circuit protection, and operation across –40 °C to 125 °C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The LD39015M15R implements a bandgap-referenced feedback loop with internal trimming resistors (R1/R2) and thermal/overcurrent protection circuitry. Its enable-controlled shutdown path reduces total supply current below 1 µA, while its ultra-low dropout architecture maintains regulation down to VIN = VOUT + 80 mV (typ.) at full load.
Stability is ensured with 1 µF ceramic output capacitance and ESR <2.4 Ω; PSRR reaches 65 dB at 1 kHz but rolls off above 10 kHz. Noise performance is specified without external bypass capacitors - critical for RF and precision analog subsystems where board space and BOM count are constrained.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 1.5 V ±2.0% at 25 °C - ensures stable core/bias rail for low-voltage logic and sensors. |
| Max output current | 150 mA guaranteed - supports multiple low-power peripherals from single LDO. |
| Dropout voltage | 80 mV typ. at 100 mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or coin cell (1.5 V) inputs. |
| Quiescent current | 18 µA typ. at no load; 38 µA typ. at 150 mA - extends battery life in always-on standby modes. |
| Output noise | 29 µVRMS (1.1–100 kHz, VOUT = 0.8 V) - meets noise requirements for ADC references and RF synthesizers. |
| PSRR | 65 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses ripple from noisy switching supplies feeding the LDO input. |
| Enable logic threshold | VIL ≤ 0.4 V, VIH ≥ 0.9 V - compatible with 1.2 V/1.8 V GPIO without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5L package: 5-pin surface-mount, 2.95 mm × 1.60 mm footprint, 0.95 mm pitch, thermally enhanced die pad (no exposed pad connection).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | LDO input supply | Accepts 1.5–5.5 V DC; requires 1 µF ceramic input capacitor for stability. |
| 2 - GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for IN, OUT, and EN; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 - EN | Active-high enable control | Drives internal pass transistor; <0.4 V disables regulator (IQ <1 µA), >0.9 V enables. |
| 4 - NC | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines. |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 1.5 V ±2% with 1 µF ceramic output capacitor; supports up to 150 mA load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low-noise regulation | 29 µVRMS output noise without bypass cap - eliminates need for secondary filtering in sensitive analog rails. |
| Logic-controlled shutdown | <1 µA OFF-mode current with EN = GND - enables deep-sleep power states in portable devices. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatibility | Stable with 1 µF COUT, ESR <2.4 Ω - reduces BOM cost and PCB area vs. tantalum/aluminum electrolytics. |
| Thermal & short-circuit protection | 160 °C thermal shutdown with 20 °C hysteresis; 350 mA short-circuit current limit - prevents damage during fault conditions. |
| Wide operating temperature | –40 °C to 125 °C junction range - qualified for automotive infotainment and industrial edge sensor nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6206P152MR | 150 mA, 1.5 V fixed, 1.0 µA IQ (typ.), but only 60 dB PSRR at 1 kHz and no EN pin. | Lacks enable control and has lower noise rejection - unsuitable for dynamic power-gating or RF-adjacent rails. | Select when minimal IQ is primary requirement and EN functionality is not needed. |
| ROHM BD39015GUL | 150 mA, 1.5 V fixed, 25 µA IQ (typ.), SOT-23-5, but 120 mV dropout at 100 mA and 45 µVRMS noise. | Higher dropout and noise limit use in single-cell Li-ion or precision analog systems. | Select when wider input range (up to 6.5 V) is required and modest noise/dropout trade-offs are acceptable. |
Compared with XC6206P152MR and BD39015GUL, the LD39015M15R uniquely combines EN control, lowest noise (29 µVRMS), and tightest dropout (80 mV) - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive designs requiring both low IQ and high analog integrity.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 1.5 V output?
The LD39015M15R requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROP. With 80 mV typical dropout at 100 mA, minimum functional input is 1.58 V. Absolute minimum VIN per datasheet is 1.5 V, but regulation margin degrades below 1.58 V under load. UVLO turns on at 1.45 V nominal, ensuring predictable startup.
Can the LD39015M15R operate with a 0.47 µF output capacitor?
No. The device requires ≥1 µF ceramic output capacitance for guaranteed stability, as confirmed by Figure 7 (stability region) and Table 5 (COUT specification). Using 0.47 µF risks oscillation or poor transient response, especially across temperature and load variations.
Is the NC pin (Pin 4) required to be grounded or left floating?
Pin 4 is internally unconnected and must remain floating. ST's layout guidelines explicitly prohibit connecting NC pins to any net, including GND, as it may compromise thermal performance or introduce parasitic coupling. No solder mask opening or routing is needed.
Does the LD39015M15R support adjustable output voltages?
No. LD39015M15R is a fixed-output variant (1.5 V). Adjustable versions (e.g., LD39015xx with external resistor dividers) are not offered in this family - all part numbers specify fixed voltages from 0.8 V to 3.3 V in 100 mV steps, with no external feedback option.
