Product details
Overview
LDF25PT-TR from STMicroelectronics is a 1 A adjustable low-dropout linear regulator in DFN6 (3x3) package, supporting output voltages from 0.8 V to 12 V with ±1% reference tolerance, 500 mV max dropout at 1 A, and logic-controlled enable/Power Good functionality. It targets low-voltage microprocessor core supplies and memory biasing in space-constrained portable and industrial systems.
For engineers reviewing the LDF25PT-TR datasheet, LDF25PT-TR pinout, LDF25PT-TR application, or LDF25PT-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.8 V adjustable output capability, 200 µA typical quiescent current at full load, -40 °C to 125 °C operating junction temperature, and integrated thermal/current protection - all critical for battery-powered and thermally demanding embedded designs.
Technical Context
The LDF25PT-TR implements an internal N-channel pass transistor with error amplifier feedback referenced to a 0.8 V bandgap voltage, enabling precise output regulation across input voltages from 2.6 V to 16 V. Its ADJ pin accepts resistor-divider feedback for programmable output, while EN and open-drain PG pins support power sequencing and fault monitoring.
It features fast transient response due to optimized control-loop compensation compatible with 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitors, and includes internal foldback current limiting and thermal shutdown at 170 °C with 10 °C hysteresis. The device operates with no external compensation required and maintains stability over full temperature and load range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output current | 1 A guaranteed continuous output - supports high-current digital loads without external boost circuitry |
| Dropout voltage | ≤500 mV at 1 A - enables operation with minimal headroom (e.g., 3.3 V out from 3.8 V input) |
| Reference voltage | 0.8 V ±1% - sets minimum output and defines accuracy of resistor-divider programming |
| Quiescent current | 200 µA typ. at 1 A load - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems |
| Operating temperature | -40 °C to 125 °C junction - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments |
| Supply rejection | 62 dB at 120 Hz - suppresses ripple from noisy DC-DC pre-regulators feeding the LDO |
| Noise voltage | 50 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - suitable for noise-sensitive analog rails and RF power domains |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN6 (3x3 mm, 0.9 mm height), exposed thermal pad connected to GND for enhanced heat dissipation (RthJC = 10 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Regulated output node | Delivers stable voltage to load; requires 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent for loop stability |
| ADJ (Pin 2) | Error amplifier inverting input | Accepts resistor divider feedback to set output voltage per VOUT = 0.8 V × (1 + R1/R2) |
| PG (Pin 3) | Open-drain Power Good flag | Pulls low when output deviates >8% below nominal; requires external 10–100 kΩ pull-up |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog and power ground | Common reference for all internal circuits; connects to exposed thermal pad |
| EN (Pin 5) | Active-high enable input | Drives regulator ON when ≥2 V; pulls to GND for <0.8 V to enter shutdown (IQ ≤ 120 µA) |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.6–16 V DC; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor within 12.7 mm of pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable output range | 0.8 V to 12 V via external resistors - enables single BOM part to serve multiple voltage rails |
| Logic-controlled shutdown | EN pin reduces quiescent current to ≤120 µA over temperature - extends battery life in sleep modes |
| Power Good monitoring | PG pin provides real-time output validity signal - enables safe sequencing with FPGAs and processors |
| Thermal protection | 170 °C shutdown with 10 °C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Stability with ceramic caps | Compatible with 2.2 µF X7R/X5R ceramics - eliminates need for costly tantalum or electrolytic capacitors |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable 0.8 V output regulation?
The LDF25PT-TR requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROP. With 0.8 V output and max 500 mV dropout, minimum VIN is 1.3 V - but datasheet specifies absolute minimum VIN = 2.6 V for guaranteed operation across temperature and process variation. Below 2.6 V, regulation is not assured even if dropout appears sufficient.
Can the ADJ pin be left unconnected for fixed-output use?
No. The ADJ pin must be connected to the output via resistor divider for adjustable operation. For fixed outputs, ST offers dedicated fixed-voltage variants (e.g., LDF25PU-TR). Leaving ADJ floating causes undefined regulation behavior and potential instability due to uncontrolled feedback path.
How is the Power Good threshold calculated for a 1.8 V output design?
PG asserts high when VOUT is within ±8% of the target setpoint. For 1.8 V output, PG goes high when VOUT ≥ 1.656 V (0.92 × 1.8 V) and remains high until VOUT drops below 1.44 V (0.8 × 1.8 V). This window ensures reliable detection of brownout conditions before downstream logic fails.
Does the exposed thermal pad require solder mask opening or thermal vias?
Yes. The exposed pad (EXP PAD) must be soldered directly to a large copper pour tied to GND, with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) connecting to inner/ground planes. Omitting this compromises RthJA performance and risks thermal shutdown at >600 mA load in still-air conditions.
