Product details
Overview
LD39080DT33-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, provides fixed 3.3 V output, and is optimized for microprocessor and DSP core power in space-constrained industrial and automotive control units.
For engineers reviewing the LD39080DT33-R datasheet, LD39080DT33-R pinout, LD39080DT33-R application, or LD39080DT33-R equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 0.8 A load capability, ceramic-capacitor stability, logic-controlled shutdown, thermal/current protection, and PPAK package thermal performance (RthJC = 8 °C/W).
Technical Context
The LD39080DT33-R integrates a BiCMOS pass transistor and error amplifier enabling ultra-low quiescent current independent of load, with fast transient response to line/load steps. Its internal current limiting (1.6 A short-circuit) and thermal shutdown (170 °C trip with 10 °C hysteresis) ensure robust operation under fault conditions.
It features a dedicated inhibit input (VINH) with defined thresholds (≤0.3 V for OFF, ≥2 V for ON), no internal pull-up/down, requiring explicit biasing. Stability is ensured with ≥2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor and ≤1 cm trace length to ground pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output current | 0.8 A guaranteed - supports high-current digital cores without derating at 125 °C junction. |
| Dropout voltage | 150 mV typ. @ 0.8 A - enables 3.3 V output from 3.45 V input, critical for battery-backed systems. |
| Quiescent current | 1 mA typ. @ 0.8 A / 1 µA max. off-mode - minimizes standby power in always-on subsystems. |
| Output voltage tolerance | ±1.5% @ 25 °C - ensures reliable logic-level compliance for 3.3 V I/O interfaces. |
| Input voltage range | 2.5 V to 6 V - compatible with Li-ion, 5 V rails, and post-regulation after buck converters. |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive environments. |
| Supply rejection | 65 dB @ 120 Hz - suppresses ripple from upstream switching regulators in hybrid power architectures. |
Pinout & Package
LD39080DT33-R uses the thermally enhanced PPAK-5 (5-pin exposed pad) package, with 2.4 mm × 5.4 mm footprint and 0.2 mm solder mask defined thermal pad for low RthJC (8 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VINH | Inhibit control input | Active-high enable: ≥2 V turns regulator on; ≤0.3 V forces <1 µA shutdown current; must not float. |
| 2 - VI | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.5–6 V; requires 1 µF ceramic capacitor placed ≤1 cm from pin with direct analog ground return. |
| 3 - GND | Analog/digital common ground | Reference node for all internal circuitry; connects to thermal pad for heat dissipation path. |
| 4 - VO | Regulated 3.3 V output | Delivers up to 0.8 A; requires ≥2.2 µF ceramic capacitor with ESR in stable region per Figure 15/16. |
| 5 - ADJ | Feedback reference node | Internally tied to 1.22 V bandgap; unused in fixed 3.3 V version (LD39080DT33-R), left unconnected. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 150 mV @ 0.8 A enables operation with minimal headroom-critical for single-cell Li-ion or low-voltage FPGA core rails. |
| Ceramic capacitor stability | Stable with ≥2.2 µF X7R/X5R ceramics-eliminates need for bulk electrolytics and reduces board area/cost. |
| Logic-controlled shutdown | VINH pin allows system-level power sequencing and deep-sleep mode activation without external FETs. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (1.6 A) and thermal shutdown (170 °C) prevent damage during overloads or poor heatsinking. |
| BiCMOS process | Enables 1 µA off-state and 1 mA on-state IQ across full load range-no efficiency penalty at light loads. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TSM10833DCQ | 0.5 A output, 250 mV dropout @ 0.5 A, 2.5 µA quiescent current in shutdown | Limited to lower current loads; higher dropout reduces usable input range | Select when board space is constrained and peak load ≤0.5 A; verify thermal margin with RthJA = 150 °C/W. |
| MCP1826T-3302E/DB | 1 A output, 350 mV dropout @ 1 A, 120 µA quiescent current in shutdown | Higher IQ in shutdown increases battery drain; wider dropout limits low-VIN operation | Choose for higher current headroom where input voltage ≥4.0 V and off-time is brief. |
Compared with LD39080DT33-R, TSM10833DCQ offers smaller footprint but sacrifices 37.5% output current and adds 100 mV dropout; MCP1826T-3302E/DB delivers more current but triples off-mode IQ and degrades efficiency in battery-critical designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for LD39080DT33-R?
The absolute maximum DC input voltage is 6.5 V, but the recommended operating range is 2.5 V to 6 V per datasheet Section 4. Exceeding 6 V risks permanent damage due to internal junction breakdown, even briefly. For 12 V automotive systems, a pre-regulator stage is required before this LDO.
Can LD39080DT33-R be used without an output capacitor?
No. An output capacitor ≥2.2 µF with appropriate ESR is mandatory for stability, as confirmed in Section 7.3 and Figure 15–16 of the datasheet. Omitting it causes oscillation and potential device failure. Ceramic capacitors are preferred; tantalum may be used if ESR falls within the stable region.
Is the ADJ pin used in the LD39080DT33-R fixed-output variant?
No. The LD39080DT33-R is the fixed 3.3 V version; its ADJ pin is internally connected to the 1.22 V reference and must remain unconnected on the PCB. Only the adjustable versions (e.g., LD39080PT-R) require external resistor dividers on ADJ.
How does the thermal shutdown behave during sustained overload?
Thermal shutdown activates at 170 °C junction temperature with 10 °C hysteresis, latching off until die cools to ~160 °C. This protects against sustained overcurrent or inadequate heatsinking. Recovery is automatic-no external reset is needed-but repeated cycling indicates insufficient thermal design or excessive ambient temperature.
