Product details
Overview
LD59100PUR from STMicroelectronics is a 1 A adjustable ultra-low-dropout linear regulator with NMOS pass transistor, 200 mV typical dropout at full load, ±1 % output voltage accuracy, and reverse current protection. It operates from 2.2 V to 5.5 V input and delivers stable, low-noise power for noise-sensitive analog and mixed-signal circuits in portable and industrial systems.
For engineers reviewing the LD59100PUR datasheet, LD59100PUR pinout, LD59100PUR application, or LD59100PUR equivalent, this LDO's high PSRR (78 dB @ 100 Hz), fast load transient response, 1 μF minimum output capacitance requirement, and enable-controlled shutdown mode are critical for post-regulation POL, battery-powered subsystems, and telecom infrastructure power sequencing.
Technical Context
The LD59100PUR uses an NMOS topology to minimize RDS(on), enabling ultra-low dropout across its 1.2 V–5.5 V output range. Its internal 1.204 V reference feeds a feedback loop that supports remote sensing via the FB pin.
Stability is guaranteed with ≥1 μF ceramic output capacitors (X5R/X7R, 5 mΩ–1 Ω ESR); thermal shutdown (160 °C) and current limit (1.05–2.2 A) provide robust fault protection. The EN pin offers logic-level control with 0.5 V low / 1.7 V high thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output current | 1 A continuous - supports high-current digital cores or RF front-ends without external boost stages. |
| Dropout voltage | 200 mV typ. at 1 A - enables regulation from 2.4 V input to 2.2 V output, critical for Li-ion single-cell systems. |
| PSRR | 78 dB @ 100 Hz, 70 dB @ 100 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters in mixed-power-rail designs. |
| Output accuracy | ±1 % typ. (±3 % max.) - ensures tight voltage margins for ADC references, PLL VCO supplies, and FPGA I/O banks. |
| Quiescent current | 140 µA typ. at 10 mA load - minimizes standby power in always-on sensor nodes and IoT edge devices. |
| Enable threshold | VEN(HI) = 1.7 V min. - compatible with 1.8 V GPIOs and open-drain microcontroller outputs without level-shifting. |
| Thermal resistance | RthJA = 55 °C/W (DFN8-3x3) - allows 1 A operation up to +85 °C ambient with minimal PCB copper area. |
Pinout & Package
LD59100PUR is housed in a thermally enhanced DFN8 (3 × 3 mm) package with exposed pad (EXP) for PCB ground connection. The 0.65 mm pitch, 8-terminal layout supports high-density routing and efficient heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 OUT | Regulated output | Main power rail output; connects directly to load and output capacitor (≥1 µF). |
| 3 FB | Feedback reference | Sets output voltage via resistor divider (VOUT = 1.204 V × (1 + R1/R2)); enables remote sensing. |
| 4 GND | Analog/digital ground | Reference node for all internal circuitry; must be connected to EXP pad and low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| 5 EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic interface; pulls device into <100 nA shutdown when driven <0.5 V. |
| 8 IN | Input supply | Accepts 2.2–5.5 V; requires ≥1 µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 2, 6, 7 NC | No connect | Unbonded die pads; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling or leakage paths. |
| EXP | Exposed thermal pad | Internally tied to GND; must be soldered to ≥200 mm² copper pour for thermal performance and EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reverse output current protection | 0.1 µA max. reverse leakage when EN < 0.5 V and VIN < VOUT - prevents backfeed in multi-rail systems during power-down sequencing. |
| Fast load transient response | Sub-µs recovery from 10 mA ↔ 1 A step (Figure 23) - maintains voltage stability for burst-mode processors and RF transceivers. |
| Low-noise output | 27 × VOUT µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - meets stringent noise budgets for precision op-amps and high-resolution SAR ADCs. |
| Stable with small ceramics | Guaranteed stability with 1 µF X5R/X7R capacitors (5 mΩ–1 Ω ESR) - eliminates need for costly tantalum or polymer caps in space-constrained designs. |
| Adjustable output range | 1.204 V to (VIN − VDROP) - supports custom voltages including 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V using standard 1% resistors (Table 6). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6210B122MR-G | Fixed 1.2 V output; 150 mV dropout at 1 A; no EN or FB pins. | Lacks adjustability and enable control - suitable only for fixed-voltage, always-on use cases. | Select when board space is constrained and output voltage is invariant; not suitable for multi-rail or sequenced systems. |
| Analog Devices ADM7172ACPZ-R7 | 2 A rating; 125 µVRMS noise; 90 dB PSRR @ 100 Hz; 10-pin LFCSP. | Higher cost and larger footprint; superior noise/PSRR for RF and precision analog, but over-specified for general-purpose POL. | Choose for ultra-low-noise applications like radar receivers or high-speed DACs where LD59100PUR's 27×VOUT noise is insufficient. |
Compared with XC6210B122MR-G and ADM7172ACPZ-R7, the LD59100PUR uniquely balances adjustability, enable control, reverse current protection, and DFN8 compactness - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, multi-voltage, and hot-swap-capable embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the minimum output capacitor required for stability?
The LD59100PUR is stable with any good-quality ceramic capacitor (X5R/X7R) of ≥1 µF and ESR between 5 mΩ and 1 Ω. Lower ESR values may cause ringing; capacitance must remain stable across temperature and bias voltage. No maximum value is specified if ESR stays within range.
Can the LD59100PUR be used in automotive applications?
Yes - it operates from −40 °C to +125 °C and includes thermal shutdown (160 °C) and reverse current protection. While not AEC-Q100 qualified, its electrical specs and ruggedness support non-safety-critical automotive subsystems like cameras and infotainment displays when validated per OEM requirements.
How does the FB pin function in adjustable configurations?
The FB pin senses the resistor divider output (VFB = 1.204 V typ.) between OUT and GND. Output voltage is set by VOUT = 1.204 V × (1 + R1/R2). Standard 1% resistors from 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ are recommended to minimize current draw while maintaining accuracy.
What happens during thermal shutdown?
When junction temperature reaches 160 °C, the LD59100PUR disables the pass transistor and forces output to zero. It remains latched off until temperature drops by ~20 °C hysteresis. During shutdown, quiescent current falls below 100 nA, and EN pin retains control priority.
