Product details
Overview
LDLN025J30R from STMicroelectronics is a 250 mA ultra-low-noise low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator in Flip-Chip4 package, delivering 3.0 V output with ±2% accuracy across line, load, and temperature. It operates from 1.5 V to 5.5 V input, achieves 250 mV dropout at full 250 mA load, and features 6.5 μVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) and 80 dB PSRR at 100 Hz-optimized for powering RF modules and image sensors in battery-constrained mobile devices.
For engineers reviewing the LDLN025J30R datasheet, LDLN025J30R pinout, LDLN025J30R application, or LDLN025J30R equivalent, this LDO's controlled quiescent current (12 μA no-load), logic-controlled shutdown (<1 μA off-state), output discharge, and ceramic-capacitor stability are critical selection criteria in noise-sensitive, long-standby power domains.
Technical Context
The LDLN025J30R employs a bandgap-referenced error amplifier with internal soft-start and thermal/overcurrent protection. Its bias generator and AMG280620171000MT control architecture maintain ultra-low IQ during dropout while enabling fast turn-on (80–150 μs) and precise enable threshold (VIL = 0.4 V, VIH = 1.2 V).
Designed for high-PSRR, low-noise regulation, it achieves 60 dB rejection at 100 kHz and integrates an output discharge path (230 Ω) activated during shutdown. Stability is guaranteed with 0.7–10 μF ceramic output capacitors and ESR ≤500 mΩ, per Figure 19.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | 3.0 V ±2% (at VIN ≥ 4.0 V, IOUT = 1–250 mA, −40 °C to +125 °C) |
| Max output current | 250 mA continuous; internally current-limited with short-circuit foldback |
| Dropout voltage | 250 mV at 250 mA (DFN4-1x1/Flip-Chip4 packages); enables operation down to VIN = 3.25 V |
| Output noise | 6.5 μVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz, IOUT = 250 mA); supports ADC/VCO supply without external filtering |
| PSRR | 80 dB @ 100 Hz, 60 dB @ 100 kHz (IOUT = 20 mA); suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters |
| Quiescent current | 12 μA at no-load; rises to 425 μA max at 250 mA and full temperature range-preserves battery life in standby |
| Enable logic | VIL ≤ 0.4 V (shutdown), VIH ≥ 1.2 V (active); internal 1 MΩ pull-down on EN pin |
| Operating temp | −40 °C to +125 °C junction; qualified for automotive interior and industrial edge applications |
Pinout & Package
LDLN025J30R is packaged in Flip-Chip4 (0.41 mm × 0.63 mm, 0.25 mm height), featuring bottom-side solder bumps and an exposed thermal pad that must be connected to GND for optimal thermal performance (RthJA = 210 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply voltage | Accepts 1.5–5.5 V; requires ≥0.7 μF ceramic input capacitor for stability |
| VOUT | Regulated output voltage | Delivers 3.0 V ±2%; stable with 0.7–10 μF ceramic output capacitor (ESR ≤500 mΩ) |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for VIN, VOUT, and exposed thermal pad; mandatory connection for thermal and electrical integrity |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic; internal 1 MΩ pull-down ensures default-off state; <1 μA shutdown current |
| NC | No-connect terminal | Not internally connected; may be tied to GND for mechanical reinforcement or left floating |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low output noise | 6.5 μVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz, full load)-enables direct powering of RF VCOs without post-regulation filtering |
| Controlled dropout IQ | 250 μA typical at 250 mA load and 25 °C; remains <425 μA over full temp/load range-extends runtime in brownout conditions |
| Output discharge | 230 Ω internal FET path discharges VOUT when EN = low-prevents residual voltage from interfering with system sequencing |
| Thermal & overcurrent protection | 160 °C shutdown with 20 °C hysteresis; current limit folds back to ~250 mA-ensures robustness under fault conditions |
| Ceramic capacitor compatibility | Stable with 0.7–10 μF X7R/X5R ceramics (ESR 5–500 mΩ); eliminates need for costly tantalum or electrolytic capacitors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6210B302MR-G | 300 mA rated, 15 μVRMS noise (10 Hz–100 kHz), SOT-25 package, no output discharge | Lacks output discharge and thermal shutdown; lower PSRR (70 dB @ 100 Hz) | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-critical noise applications where board space allows SOT-25 and discharge is unnecessary |
| Analog Devices ADP160AUJZ-3.0-R7 | 150 mA rated, 22 μVRMS noise, 170 mV dropout @ 150 mA, 18 μA IQ, TSOT-5 package | Lower current capability and higher noise limit use in <150 mA, non-RF roles | Prefer when footprint compatibility with TSOT-5 is required and 250 mA load headroom is not needed |
Compared with XC6210B302MR-G and ADP160AUJZ-3.0-R7, LDLN025J30R delivers superior noise performance (6.5 vs. ≥15 μVRMS), higher output current (250 mA), integrated output discharge, and tighter thermal protection-making it the optimal choice for RF and imaging applications demanding both cleanliness and robustness.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LDLN025J30R to regulate 3.0 V at 250 mA?
The minimum input voltage is determined by dropout: 3.0 V + 0.25 V = 3.25 V. Per Table 4, dropout is 250 mV at 250 mA for Flip-Chip4 packages like LDLN025J30R. Operation below 3.25 V enters dropout mode, where output tracks input minus dropout voltage-still functional but unregulated.
Can LDLN025J30R be used with a 0.47 μF output capacitor?
No. The datasheet specifies a minimum COUT of 0.7 μF (Table 5) for stability across all operating conditions. Using 0.47 μF risks oscillation or poor transient response, especially under load steps. A 1 μF X7R ceramic capacitor is recommended for guaranteed stability and optimal PSRR.
Does the NC pin on LDLN025J30R require PCB routing or grounding?
The NC pin is not internally connected and has no electrical function. It may be left unconnected or tied to GND for mechanical anchoring during reflow-no signal routing or impedance control is required. ST's recommended footprint (Figure 31) shows it as optional GND tie.
How does the output discharge feature behave during enable toggling?
When EN transitions from high to low, the internal 230 Ω discharge FET activates within microseconds, sinking current from VOUT to GND until the output decays to <100 mV. This prevents back-powering of upstream circuitry and ensures deterministic power-down sequencing in multi-rail systems.
