Product details
Overview
LDK220PU33R from STMicroelectronics is a fixed-output 3.3 V, 200 mA low-dropout linear regulator in DFN6-1.2×1.3 package, featuring 100 mV typical dropout at 100 mA, ±2.0% output voltage tolerance at 25 °C, and logic-controlled shutdown with <1 µA off-mode current. It powers core rails in space-constrained battery-powered equipment and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the LDK220PU33R datasheet, LDK220PU33R pinout, LDK220PU33R application, or LDK220PU33R equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal performance data, package-specific pin mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for design-in and supply continuity.
Technical Context
The LDK220PU33R implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier driving a PMOS pass transistor, enabling ultra-low dropout and stable regulation across input voltages from 2.5 V to 13.2 V. Its internal bias generator and thermal protection circuitry activate shutdown above 160 °C with 20 °C hysteresis.
It supports ceramic output capacitors as low as 1 µF due to integrated phase compensation, and embeds an active output discharge path (Rdis = 18 Ω) activated when EN is low-preventing floating VOUT during power sequencing in portable systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±2.0% at 25 °C; ensures stable MCU I/O rail without external feedback resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 200 mA guaranteed; sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in compact designs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100 mV typ. @ 100 mA; enables operation down to VIN = 3.4 V while maintaining regulation-critical for single-cell Li-ion or 3.7 V battery systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 55 µA typ. @ no load; extends battery life in always-on monitoring nodes and remote sensors. |
| Noise Performance | 20 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz); minimizes interference in analog signal chains and RF subsystems. |
| Supply Rejection | 55 dB @ 120 Hz–1 kHz; suppresses ripple from switching DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Operating Temp | −40 °C to +125 °C junction temperature; qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments. |
Pinout & Package
LDK220PU33R is housed in a 6-pin DFN6-1.2×1.3 mm package with wettable flanks, optimized for automated optical inspection (AOI) and high-density PCB layouts. Thermal resistance is RthJA = 237 °C/W and RthJC = 104 °C/W (JEDEC 4-layer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT | Regulated 3.3 V output; connects directly to load; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to ground for stability. |
| 2 | N/C | No internal connection; must remain unconnected and un-bonded on PCB. |
| 3 | ADJ/NC | Not connected in fixed-output version; left floating-no external components required. |
| 4 | EN | Active-high enable input; drives device into <1 µA shutdown when pulled low; must not float. |
| 5 | GND | Power ground reference; tie directly to low-impedance system ground plane for noise immunity. |
| 6 | IN | Input supply (2.5–13.2 V); place 1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor within 2 mm of this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 55 µA typical operating current enables >1-year battery life in 10 µA average-load IoT sensors. |
| Integrated output discharge | 18 Ω internal pull-down activates automatically when EN = low, eliminating need for external bleed resistor. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatible | Stable with 1 µF COUT; reduces BOM count and board area vs. legacy tantalum-based LDOs. |
| Logic-controlled shutdown | EN pin accepts standard CMOS logic levels (VIL ≤ 0.4 V, VIH ≥ 1.2 V), interoperable with 1.8 V/3.3 V microcontrollers. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Auto-recovery thermal shutdown at 160 °C with 20 °C hysteresis; constant-current limiting up to 400 mA. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, low-IQ LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6219B332MR-G | Same 3.3 V fixed output, but SOT-25 package (5-pin); 120 mV dropout @ 100 mA; 25 µA IQ. | Lacks EN pin and output discharge; unsuitable for power-sequenced systems requiring controlled VOUT ramp-down. | Select if minimal quiescent current is critical and enable control is handled externally. |
| Diodes Inc. AP2204K-3.3TRG1 | SOT-23-5 package; 300 mV dropout @ 150 mA; 65 µA IQ; no output discharge function. | Higher dropout limits use with sub-3.6 V inputs; thermal resistance (RthJA = 250 °C/W) restricts continuous 200 mA output in sealed enclosures. | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications where space constraints favor SOT-23-5 over DFN6. |
Compared with XC6219B332MR-G and AP2204K-3.3TRG1, LDK220PU33R uniquely combines DFN6 footprint efficiency, 100 mV dropout, EN-controlled shutdown, and integrated output discharge-making it optimal for battery-powered and thermally constrained designs requiring robust power sequencing.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LDK220PU33R to maintain regulation at 200 mA load?
The minimum input voltage is calculated as VOUT + VDROP = 3.3 V + 350 mV = 3.65 V (max dropout at 200 mA, 40–125 °C). At room temperature, 3.4 V suffices due to 200 mV typical dropout. Input below 2.5 V is prohibited per absolute maximum ratings.
Can LDK220PU33R be used with aluminum polymer capacitors instead of ceramic?
No-stability is only guaranteed with ceramic capacitors (1–22 µF, ESR ≤ 100 mΩ). Aluminum polymer caps exhibit higher ESR and phase shift that may cause oscillation, as confirmed by Figure 22 (stability vs. COUT/ESR) in DS10219 Rev 7.
Is the ADJ pin accessible in the LDK220PU33R variant?
No-the "PU" suffix denotes the DFN6 package with fixed 3.3 V output; ADJ/NC pin (Pin 3) is internally disconnected and must remain unconnected on the PCB. Adjustable versions use "-R" suffix (e.g., LDK220PU-R).
Does the output discharge function require external components to operate?
No-output discharge is fully internal: when EN is driven low, a 18 Ω switch connects VOUT to GND, discharging COUT without external resistors. Applying voltage to VOUT while EN is low is prohibited per datasheet warning (DS10219 p.2) to avoid damage.
