Product details
Overview
LD39020ADM30R from STMicroelectronics is a 3.0 V, ±0.5 % accuracy, 200 mA ultra-low-dropout linear regulator in SOT23-5L package, featuring 200 mV typical dropout at full load, 20 µA quiescent current at no load, and logic-controlled shutdown. It delivers stable low-noise power for precision analog rails in compact battery-powered systems such as digital still cameras and portable media players.
For engineers reviewing the LD39020ADM30R datasheet, LD39020ADM30R pinout, LD39020ADM30R application, or LD39020ADM30R equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, application-specific implementation guidance, and confirmed alternative options with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The LD39020ADM30R integrates a bandgap reference, error amplifier, and PMOS pass transistor in a fixed-output LDO architecture. Its internal soft-start circuit limits inrush current by controlling output ramp-up over ~100 µs without external components.
It includes an enable-controlled discharge MOSFET (active when EN = low) to rapidly deplete the output capacitor, and features thermal shutdown with 160 °C trip point and 20 °C hysteresis. PSRR reaches 80 dB at 1 kHz and 55 dB at 100 kHz, supporting noise-sensitive analog loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 3.0 V with ±0.5 % tolerance at 25 °C - enables direct replacement of 3.0 V references in precision sensor or ADC biasing circuits. |
| Max output current | 200 mA guaranteed - sufficient to power microcontroller cores, RF transceivers, or small display drivers without derating. |
| Dropout voltage | 200 mV typ. at 200 mA - allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or two-cell alkaline (3.2 V min) while maintaining regulation. |
| Quiescent current | 20 µA typ. at no load - extends battery life in always-on monitoring nodes where standby current dominates energy budget. |
| PSRR | 80 dB @ 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding mixed-signal SoCs. |
| Enable threshold | VIL ≤ 0.4 V, VIH ≥ 1.0 V - compatible with 1.8 V and 3.3 V GPIOs without level-shifting. |
| Operating temp | −40 °C to +125 °C junction - qualified for automotive cabin and industrial edge controller environments. |
Pinout & Package
LD39020ADM30R is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5L package (2.95 mm × 1.60 mm × 1.45 mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts. The exposed pad is not present - all thermal dissipation occurs through leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 1.5–5.5 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin for stability and transient response. |
| 2 (GND) | Power ground reference | Common return path for input/output currents and internal bias; must connect to low-impedance analog ground plane. |
| 3 (EN) | Logic enable control | Active-high input; drives device into <0.1 µA shutdown when pulled low; compatible with standard CMOS logic levels. |
| 4 (NC) | No internal connection | Unbonded pin; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice - no electrical function. |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 3.0 V ±0.5 %; supports 0.47–22 µF ceramic output capacitors; includes integrated discharge MOSFET (enabled). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 200 mV at 200 mA enables regulation down to 3.2 V input - critical for extending runtime in single-cell Li-ion systems. |
| Output discharge | Integrated MOSFET actively discharges VOUT when disabled - prevents residual voltage from interfering with system power sequencing or causing latch-up. |
| Ceramic capacitor support | Stable with ≥0.47 µF X5R/X7R ceramics - eliminates need for tantalum or electrolytic caps, reducing board area and improving reliability. |
| Internal soft-start | 100 µs controlled ramp-up - avoids inrush current spikes that could collapse shared input rails or trigger upstream current limiting. |
| High PSRR | 80 dB @ 1 kHz - maintains clean 3.0 V rail for noise-sensitive analog blocks (e.g., audio codecs, precision ADCs) in noisy DC/DC environments. |
Applications
| Digital Still Camera (DSC) | Portable Media Player |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6206P302MR | 3.0 V, ±2 % accuracy, 150 mA max, no enable or discharge, SOT23-3 package | Lacks shutdown control and output discharge; limited to simpler, non-sequenced systems | Select only if board space permits larger dropout margin and system does not require active discharge or precise enable timing. |
| ROHM BD39020GUL | 3.0 V, ±1 % accuracy, 200 mA, SOT23-5, no discharge MOSFET, 30 µA IQ | Higher output tolerance and quiescent current; lacks auto-discharge function | Prefer when cost sensitivity outweighs need for fast VOUT decay or tighter voltage accuracy in battery-gauge-critical designs. |
Compared with XC6206P302MR and BD39020GUL, LD39020ADM30R uniquely combines ±0.5 % accuracy, integrated discharge, and sub-25 µA quiescent current in SOT23-5L - making it optimal for space-constrained, multi-rail battery systems requiring precise sequencing and minimal standby loss.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 3.0 V output?
The LD39020ADM30R maintains regulation down to VIN = VOUT + VDROP. With 200 mV typical dropout at 200 mA, the minimum functional input is 3.2 V under full load. At lighter loads (e.g., 10 mA), dropout drops to 35 mV, allowing stable operation from 3.035 V - enabling use with partially discharged single-cell Li-ion batteries.
Does LD39020ADM30R require an external capacitor on the EN pin?
No. The EN pin has no internal filtering or timing requirement; it is a standard CMOS logic input with 100 nA leakage. A pull-up resistor (e.g., 100 kΩ to VIN) is recommended for robust startup in noisy environments, but no capacitor is needed - unlike older LDOs requiring RC delays for sequencing.
Can LD39020ADM30R be used with a 0.22 µF output capacitor?
No. While the regulator remains stable with ≥220 nF capacitance under ideal conditions, ST specifies a minimum of 0.47 µF ceramic (X5R/X7R) for guaranteed stability across temperature, input voltage, and load variations. Using 0.22 µF risks oscillation during load transients or at temperature extremes.
Is the NC pin on SOT23-5L electrically isolated or internally grounded?
The NC (pin 4) is unconnected internally - no bond wire, no die attachment. It must be left floating or tied to GND on the PCB per ST's layout recommendation to minimize parasitic coupling; it is not a thermal pad or ground tie, and connecting it to any voltage rail may cause unpredictable behavior.
