Product details
Overview
LDBL20D-33R from STMicroelectronics is a 3.3 V, 200 mA ultra-low-dropout linear regulator IC with 200 mV typical dropout at full load, 20 µA typical quiescent current at no load, ±1.5% output voltage accuracy at 25 °C, and logic-controlled enable input-designed for space-constrained battery-powered systems such as wearable devices and digital still cameras.
For engineers reviewing the LDBL20D-33R datasheet, LDBL20D-33R pinout, LDBL20D-33R application, or LDBL20D-33R equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package mapping to STSTAMP™ (0.47 × 0.47 mm²), confirmed pin functions, real-world load regulation performance, and validated alternative options for low-quiescent-current LDO selection.
Technical Context
The LDBL20D-33R integrates a bandgap reference, error amplifier, and internal PMOS pass transistor in a fully regulated feedback loop. Its soft-start circuit limits inrush current by controlling output ramp-up over ~100 µs without external components.
It features an optional integrated discharge MOSFET (enabled in this variant per order code "D") that actively pulls VOUT to GND when EN is low, ensuring rapid output discharge. Thermal shutdown activates at 160 °C with 20 °C hysteresis, and constant-current limiting caps short-circuit current at 250–350 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±1.5% at 25 °C; maintains regulation across -40 °C to 125 °C junction temperature |
| Max output current | 200 mA guaranteed; internally current-limited to 250–350 mA under short-circuit |
| Dropout voltage | 200 mV typ. at 200 mA load; enables operation from 3.5 V input down to 3.3 V output |
| Quiescent current | 20 µA typ. at no load; drops to 0.03 µA typ. in shutdown mode (EN = GND) |
| PSRR | 80 dB at 1 kHz, 55 dB at 100 kHz-suppresses ripple from noisy battery or switching supply inputs |
| Output noise | 45 µVRMS over 10 Hz–100 kHz-critical for powering RF, ADC, or precision analog blocks |
| Input voltage range | 1.5 V to 5.5 V-supports single-cell Li-ion, Li-polymer, and multi-cell alkaline/NiMH sources |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in STMicroelectronics' STSTAMP™ ultra-miniature package (0.47 × 0.47 mm², 0.2 mm height), optimized for high-density portable PCBs with non-solder-mask-defined pads and 75 µm stencil thickness.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (EN) | Enable logic input | Active-high control: <0.4 V = shutdown (<0.2 µA IIN); >1 V = active; input leakage <100 nA |
| 2 (IN) | Power input | Accepts 1.5–5.5 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability |
| 3 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 3.3 V @ up to 200 mA; supports 0.47–22 µF ceramic output capacitors; includes auto-discharge MOSFET |
| 4 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Common return for IN, OUT, and EN; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 20 µA typ. at no load ensures >1-year battery life in always-on wearables with 100 mAh cells |
| Internal soft-start | 100 µs controlled ramp-up eliminates inrush current spikes-no external capacitor required |
| Output voltage discharge | Integrated MOSFET discharges COUT rapidly on shutdown, preventing residual voltage hold-up in power sequencing |
| Ceramic capacitor compatibility | Stable with 0.47 µF X5R/X7R ceramics-reduces BOM count and board area vs. tantalum or electrolytic alternatives |
| High PSRR at 100 kHz | 55 dB rejection enables clean 3.3 V rail even when co-located with 100 kHz DC-DC converters |
Applications
| Wearable Health Monitor | Digital Still Camera (DSC) Sensor Bias |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-quiescent-current LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6210B332MR-G | 3.3 V fixed, 200 mA, 150 mV dropout, 1 µA IQ, no discharge MOSFET, SOT-25 package (2.9 × 2.8 mm²) | Larger footprint; lacks output discharge; better IQ but lower PSRR (60 dB @ 1 kHz) | Choose when board space permits larger package and discharge function is unnecessary. |
| Richtek RT9080AL-33PU5 | 3.3 V fixed, 300 mA, 250 mV dropout, 25 µA IQ, no discharge, DFN-6 (1.5 × 1.5 mm²) | Higher current rating but larger size than STSTAMP™; no auto-discharge; 10× bigger footprint | Prefer when >200 mA peak load is expected and STSTAMP™ size constraint is relaxed. |
Compared with XC6210B332MR-G and RT9080AL-33PU5, the LDBL20D-33R uniquely combines STSTAMP™ ultra-miniaturization, integrated output discharge, and 80 dB PSRR-making it optimal for space- and noise-sensitive battery-powered imaging and wearables where rapid power-down sequencing is required.

FAQ
What is the minimum output capacitor required for stable operation of LDBL20D-33R?
The LDBL20D-33R is stable with a minimum effective output capacitance of 220 nF, but ST recommends ≥0.47 µF ceramic (X5R/X7R) for robustness across temperature, input voltage, and load variations. Stability is guaranteed within the defined COUT/ESR region shown in Figure 17 of DS11244.
Does LDBL20D-33R include output voltage discharge functionality?
Yes-the "D" suffix in LDBL20D-33R indicates inclusion of the optional integrated discharge MOSFET. When EN is pulled low, this MOSFET actively discharges the output capacitor to GND, eliminating residual voltage and supporting precise power sequencing.
What is the thermal shutdown threshold and hysteresis behavior?
Thermal shutdown activates at 160 °C junction temperature with 20 °C hysteresis. Once triggered, the device disables output until junction temperature falls below 140 °C, then resumes normal operation automatically-no external reset required.
Can LDBL20D-33R operate with input voltage below 1.5 V?
No-absolute maximum ratings specify VIN ≥ –0.3 V, but functional operation requires VIN ≥ 1.5 V per electrical characteristics. At 3.3 V output, minimum valid input is 3.5 V (VOUT + VDROP ≈ 3.3 V + 0.2 V), and operation below 1.5 V is not characterized or guaranteed.
