Product details
Overview
LD39080DT25-R from STMicroelectronics is an ultra-low-dropout BiCMOS linear voltage regulator delivering 0.8 A output current with 150 mV typical dropout at full load, ±1.5% output voltage tolerance at 25 °C, and 1 µA max off-mode quiescent current. It operates from 2.5 V to 6 V input, supports adjustable output (1.22–5.0 V), and is optimized for microprocessor and DSP core power in automotive-grade temperature range (−40 to 125 °C).
For engineers reviewing the LD39080DT25-R datasheet, LD39080DT25-R pinout, LD39080DT25-R application, or LD39080DT25-R equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, PPAK package layout, thermal and stability design guidance, and real-world use cases for low-noise, high-efficiency post-regulation in embedded systems.
Technical Context
The LD39080DT25-R uses a BiCMOS process enabling ultra-low quiescent current independent of load-1 mA typ. at 0.8 A, 1 µA max. in shutdown. Its error amplifier references a stable 1.22 V internal bandgap, supporting precise external resistor-set outputs via the ADJ pin.
It integrates logic-controlled electronic shutdown (VINH threshold: 0.3 V low / 2 V high), thermal shutdown at 170 °C with 10 °C hysteresis, and current limiting (~1.6 A short-circuit protection). Stability is guaranteed with ≥2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor and proper ESR range per ST's CO vs. ESR chart.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output current | 0.8 A guaranteed-supports demanding digital core loads without derating at TJ ≤ 125 °C. |
| Dropout voltage | 150 mV typ. @ 0.8 A-enables 3.3 V output from 3.45 V input, minimizing power loss. |
| Quiescent current | 1 µA max. in off mode-critical for battery-backed or always-on standby circuits. |
| Output voltage tolerance | ±1.5% @ 25 °C-ensures reliable logic-level compliance for 1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V I/O domains. |
| Input voltage range | 2.5 V to 6 V-compatible with Li-ion, USB, and intermediate DC bus rails. |
| Supply rejection | 65 dB @ 120 Hz-effectively suppresses ripple from upstream switching converters. |
| Operating temperature | −40 to 125 °C junction-qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments. |
Pinout & Package
LD39080DT25-R is housed in a thermally enhanced PPAK-5 (5-pin exposed pad) package, with 2.4 mm × 5.4 mm footprint and 1.1 mm height. The exposed thermal pad (pin 3 GND) must be soldered to PCB copper for optimal thermal performance (RthJA = 100 °C/W, RthJC = 8 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VINH | Inhibit control input | Logic-high (≥2 V) enables regulation; logic-low (≤0.3 V) disables output and reduces IQ to ≤1 µA. Must not float-requires explicit pull-up or driver. |
| 2 VI | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.5–6 V DC; requires 1 µF ceramic capacitor placed ≤1 cm away with direct ground return path. |
| 3 GND | Power and signal ground | Common reference for all circuitry; exposed thermal pad connects here-must be fully soldered to inner/outer copper layers. |
| 4 VO | Regulated output | Delivers set output voltage; requires ≥2.2 µF ceramic capacitor with ESR in ST-specified stability region (Fig. 15–16). |
| 5 ADJ | Feedback reference node | Connects to resistor divider (R1/R2) to set VO = 1.22 V × (1 + R1/R2); voltage range 1.22–5.0 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 150 mV @ 0.8 A enables operation with minimal headroom-critical for battery-powered SoC rails. |
| BiCMOS architecture | Maintains 1 mA typ. IQ across full 10 mA–0.8 A load range-no efficiency penalty at light loads. |
| Ceramic-capacitor stability | Guaranteed stable with ≥2.2 µF X7R/X5R ceramics-eliminates need for costly tantalum or aluminum electrolytics. |
| Fast transient response | Load/line step recovery within microseconds-preserves voltage integrity during CPU burst activity. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown (170 °C), current limit (~1.6 A), and internal foldback prevent fault propagation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TSM10803DTR | Fixed 3.3 V output; no ADJ pin; 0.5 A max. output; higher dropout (250 mV @ 0.5 A) | Limited to single-voltage systems; unsuitable for multi-rail SoC designs requiring 1.2–5.0 V flexibility | Select when fixed 3.3 V simplifies BOM and space constraints outweigh adjustability needs. |

FAQ
What is the minimum output capacitance required for stability?
The LD39080DT25-R requires a minimum 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor (X7R or X5R dielectric) placed within 1 cm of the VO and GND pins. Stability also depends on ESR: values between 5 mΩ and 100 mΩ are recommended per ST's Figure 15–16 stability charts. Using lower-ESR capacitors outside this range may cause oscillation.
Can the inhibit (VINH) pin be left unconnected?
No-the VINH pin must never be left floating. It has no internal pull-up or pull-down. To ensure reliable on-state operation, tie VINH directly to VI. For controlled shutdown, drive it actively to ≤0.3 V (off) or ≥2 V (on) using a logic-level signal with ≤±1 µA leakage, as specified in Table 5.
Is the LD39080DT25-R qualified for automotive applications?
Yes-LD39080DT25-R is manufactured in ST's qualified automotive-grade process, supports −40 to 125 °C junction temperature, and meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements. Its thermal shutdown (170 °C), current limiting, and wide-input operation make it suitable for infotainment, body control, and ADAS subsystems.
How does the ADJ pin set output voltage?
The ADJ pin connects to the center node of a two-resistor divider between VO and GND. Output voltage is calculated as VO = 1.22 V × (1 + R1/R2), where R2 connects ADJ to GND and R1 connects VO to ADJ. ST recommends R2 ≈ 4.7 kΩ for optimal noise and bias current balance, with total divider current ≤100 µA.
