Product details
Overview
LDK715PU50R from STMicroelectronics is a high-input-voltage, ultra-low-quiescent-current LDO linear regulator delivering 5.0 V at up to 85 mA output current, with 4.3–24 V input range, 500 mV typical dropout at full load, and −40 °C to 125 °C operating temperature-designed for battery-powered industrial sensors and mobile power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LDK715PU50R datasheet, LDK715PU50R pinout, LDK715PU50R application, or LDK715PU50R equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 85 mA output under wide VIN, 5 µA quiescent current at full load, ceramic capacitor compatibility (0.47–10 µF), internal short-circuit protection, and DFN8 3x3 package thermal performance (RthJA = 52 °C/W).
Technical Context
The LDK715PU50R implements a bandgap reference-based control loop with internal current limiting and thermal shutdown. Its architecture supports stable regulation across 4.3–24 V input while maintaining ±1% output accuracy at 25 °C and ±2% over full temperature range.
It requires no external compensation and operates with ceramic output capacitors as low as 0.47 µF due to optimized phase margin design. The device features fast turn-on time (0.7 ms typical) and delivers 38 dB supply voltage rejection at 1 kHz, rising to 57 dB at 100 kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±1% at 25 °C; ±2% over −40 °C to 125 °C - ensures stable MCU core or sensor bias rail |
| Input voltage range | 4.3 V to 24 V DC - supports direct connection to 12 V industrial buses or multi-cell Li-ion packs |
| Max output current | 85 mA guaranteed - sufficient for low-power microcontrollers, RF transceivers, or analog front-ends |
| Dropout voltage | 500 mV typ. at 85 mA - enables regulation down to 5.5 V input when sourcing full load |
| Quiescent current | 5 µA typ. at full load - extends battery life in always-on monitoring nodes beyond 10 years on coin cells |
| Output noise | 210 µVRMS (200 Hz–100 kHz) - low enough for precision ADC references without added filtering |
| Thermal resistance | RthJA = 52 °C/W (DFN8 3x3) - allows 2 W max power dissipation at 25 °C ambient before derating |
Pinout & Package
LDK715PU50R is supplied in the DFN8 3×3 mm package (ECOPACK® compliant), featuring an exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation. The package has 8 terminals, with five internally unconnected pins optimized for mechanical stability and manufacturability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 4.3–24 V; requires ≥0.1 µF local bypass capacitor to GND for transient immunity |
| 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 (NC) | No internal connection | Must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines; no electrical function or signal path |
| 4 (GND) | Power ground reference | Primary return path for load current and internal bias; connects directly to thermal pad for thermal conduction |
| 8 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 5.0 V; requires 0.47–10 µF ceramic capacitor to GND for loop stability |
| Exposed pad | Thermal and ground plane | Must be soldered to PCB copper area ≥25 mm² for RthJA ≤52 °C/W; electrically tied to GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6219B502MR-G | Same 5 V output, but only 50 mA rated current and 6 V max input - lacks 24 V capability and 85 mA drive | Suitable for low-current wearables; not viable for industrial 24 V bus or 85 mA loads | Select only if input ≤6 V and load <50 mA; verify thermal margin with RthJA = 200 °C/W (SOT-25) |
| Analog Devices ADM7172ACPZ-5.0-R7 | Higher performance: 200 mA, 175 mV dropout, but 5.5 V max input and 25 µA IQ - incompatible with 24 V inputs | Targeted at FPGA/ASIC core rails; requires external compensation and larger output caps | Use only in low-VIN, high-PSRR applications where 24 V tolerance is unnecessary and board space permits 10-pin LFCSP |
Compared with XC6219B502MR-G and ADM7172ACPZ-5.0-R7, the LDK715PU50R uniquely balances 24 V input tolerance, 85 mA output, and 5 µA quiescent current in a thermally efficient DFN8 package-making it irreplaceable in wide-input, battery-critical industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 5.0 V output?
The LDK715PU50R requires a minimum input voltage of 4.3 V to maintain regulation at 5.0 V output. Below this, the device enters dropout mode and output voltage drops linearly with input. This threshold is specified across the full −40 °C to 125 °C temperature range and at all load currents up to 85 mA.
Can the LDK715PU50R be used with a 0.22 µF ceramic output capacitor?
No. The datasheet specifies a minimum output capacitance of 0.47 µF for stability with ceramic capacitors. Using 0.22 µF violates the stability region defined in Figure 7 and may cause oscillation or poor transient response. Always use ≥0.47 µF X5R/X7R ceramic with ESR <100 mΩ.
Does the LDK715PU50R include an enable pin?
No. The LDK715PU50R has no enable (EN) or shutdown control pin. It operates continuously when input voltage exceeds 4.3 V. For applications requiring controlled power sequencing, an external MOSFET switch or dedicated enable-capable LDO like the LD56100 must be used upstream.
How does thermal performance differ between SOT23-5L and DFN8 3x3 packages?
The DFN8 3x3 package has RthJA = 52 °C/W versus 195 °C/W for SOT23-5L. At 85 mA and 24 V input, power dissipation is ~1.615 W; DFN8 keeps junction temperature rise to ~84 °C above ambient, while SOT23-5L would exceed 314 °C - making DFN8 the only viable choice for full-load operation above 60 °C ambient.
