Product details
Overview
LD39020ADTPU21R from STMicroelectronics is a 2.1 V, ±0.5 % accuracy, 200 mA ultra-low-dropout linear regulator in DFN4 1×1 package, featuring 200 mV typical dropout at full load, 20 µA quiescent current at no load, and logic-controlled enable with 0.03 µA shutdown current-designed for precision power rails in battery-powered imaging and mobile baseband subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the LD39020ADTPU21R datasheet, LD39020ADTPU21R pinout, LD39020ADTPU21R application, or LD39020ADTPU21R equivalent, key selection criteria include output voltage tolerance (±0.5 %), thermal shutdown threshold (160 °C), soft-start timing (100 µs), PSRR (80 dB @ 1 kHz), and compatibility with 0.47 µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LD39020ADTPU21R integrates a bandgap reference, error amplifier, and PMOS pass transistor to deliver stable 2.1 V output across -40 °C to 125 °C junction temperature. Its internal soft-start circuit limits inrush current without external components, and the optional output discharge MOSFET (enabled in ADT variants) actively pulls VOUT to GND during shutdown.
It operates with input voltages from 1.5 V to 5.5 V and maintains regulation down to 2.3 V input (2.1 V + 200 mV dropout). The device uses a fixed internal feedback network for 2.1 V output and supports logic-level enable control with VIH = 1 V and VIL = 0.4 V over full temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.1 V ±0.5 % at 25 °C - ensures tight rail accuracy for low-voltage DSP cores and image sensor analog supplies |
| Max Output Current | 200 mA guaranteed - sufficient for powering RF transceivers or multi-core microcontrollers in portable devices |
| Dropout Voltage | 200 mV typ. @ 200 mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or dual-cell alkaline (2.4 V min) sources |
| Quiescent Current | 20 µA typ. @ no load - extends battery life in always-on standby modes of mobile and IoT endpoints |
| PSRR | 80 dB @ 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters feeding noisy system rails |
| Enable Shutdown Current | 0.03 µA typ. - reduces system leakage to sub-nA levels when host MCU disables peripheral power domains |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160 °C with 20 °C hysteresis - provides robust protection during sustained high-load or poor PCB thermal design |
Pinout & Package
LD39020ADTPU21R is housed in a 1 mm × 1 mm, 0.4 mm height DFN4 1x1 package with exposed thermal pad (connected to GND). This ultra-compact footprint supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained mobile and wearable applications.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Regulated output terminal | Delivers 2.1 V to load; requires ≥0.47 µF ceramic capacitor directly adjacent for stability |
| 2 (GND) | Analog and power ground reference | Common return path for internal bias, error amp, and thermal pad; must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane |
| 3 (EN) | Active-high enable input | Logic high ≥1 V enables regulation; logic low ≤0.4 V disables output and activates discharge MOSFET (if present) |
| 4 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 1.5–5.5 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin |
| Thermal Pad | Internal die thermal conduction path | Must be soldered to solid GND copper area on PCB to achieve RthJA = 250 °C/W and sustain full 200 mA load |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 200 mV @ 200 mA enables use with weak or deeply discharged batteries while maintaining regulation |
| Low-noise operation | 45 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) minimizes ripple-induced jitter in camera sensor clocking and ADC reference paths |
| Integrated soft-start | 100 µs controlled ramp prevents inrush current spikes that could destabilize shared input rails |
| Output discharge function | On-chip NMOS (RON = 100 Ω) actively discharges output capacitor upon disable, eliminating hold-up voltage in fast-power-cycle systems |
| Ceramic capacitor compatible | Stable with 0.47–22 µF X5R/X7R ceramics - eliminates need for costly tantalum or electrolytic capacitors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6210B212MR-G | 2.1 V ±2 % accuracy, 150 mA max, SOT-25 package, no output discharge | Lacks auto-discharge and thermal hysteresis; lower accuracy limits use in precision analog rails | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 0.5 % tolerance and active discharge in wearables |
| Richtek RT9013-21GB | 2.1 V ±2 %, 300 mA, SOT-23-5, 60 µA IQ, no soft-start or discharge | Higher quiescent current and missing soft-start increase inrush risk in multi-rail systems | Prefer for higher-current loads where 200 mV dropout and sub-µA shutdown are non-critical |
Compared with XC6210B212MR-G and RT9013-21GB, LD39020ADTPU21R delivers superior accuracy (±0.5 % vs. ±2 %), lower shutdown current (0.03 µA vs. ≥1 µA), and integrated soft-start/discharge-making it optimal for battery-constrained, noise-sensitive, and fast-cycling applications where rail integrity and power sequencing matter.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LD39020ADTPU21R to maintain 2.1 V output at 200 mA?
The minimum input voltage is 2.3 V, calculated as VOUT + VDROP = 2.1 V + 200 mV (typical dropout at full load). At -40 °C to 125 °C, worst-case dropout is 350 mV, so 2.45 V input is recommended for guaranteed regulation across temperature.
Does LD39020ADTPU21R require an external soft-start capacitor?
No. The device integrates a factory-trimmed soft-start circuit with a fixed 100 µs startup time, eliminating the need for external timing components. This simplifies layout and improves reliability compared to discrete RC-based solutions.
Can LD39020ADTPU21R be used with a 0.22 µF output capacitor?
No. While the regulator remains stable down to 220 nF under ideal conditions, ST specifies a minimum of 0.47 µF ceramic capacitor (X5R/X7R) to ensure stability across temperature, input voltage, and load variations per Figure 17 in DS9956.
Is the thermal pad on the DFN4 1x1 package electrically connected internally?
Yes. The exposed thermal pad is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to a dedicated PCB ground plane with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) to achieve rated RthJA = 250 °C/W and sustain continuous 200 mA operation at 125 °C ambient.
