Product details
Overview
LDR1833K7-R from STMicroelectronics is a dual low-dropout linear voltage regulator with fixed 1.8 V and 3.3 V outputs, delivering up to 500 mA on VO1 and 1.0 A on VO2. It features ultra-low dropout (0.3 V @ 500 mA, 0.4 V @ 1 A), 50 µA shutdown current, and operates across –40 °C to +125 °C - designed for power-sensitive data storage systems like Microdrive and PDA mainboard rails.
For engineers reviewing the LDR1833K7-R datasheet, LDR1833K7-R pinout, LDR1833K7-R application, or LDR1833K7-R equivalent, this device supports dual-rail sequencing in compact consumer electronics where low-noise, low-quiescent-current regulation and independent TTL-compatible enable control per channel are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
The LDR1833K7-R integrates two independent LDO regulators sharing a common ground but with separate input (VI1, VI2) and enable (INH1, INH2) pins. Each regulator employs a bandgap reference, error amplifier, and thermal/current limiting circuitry - enabling stable operation with only 4.7 µF low-ESR ceramic output capacitors.
Its high-voltage process allows 15 V absolute maximum input, while supply voltage rejection reaches 70 dB at 120 Hz. The device uses internal current limiting and thermal shutdown to protect against overload and junction overheating, with RthJC = 8 °C/W for the PPAK package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VO1 / VO2 | 1.8 V / 3.3 V fixed outputs - eliminates external feedback resistors and ensures ±5% accuracy over temperature and load. |
| IO1 / IO2 max | 500 mA / 1.0 A - supports core logic and I/O rail requirements in portable storage controllers without external boost stages. |
| VDROP1 / VDROP2 | 0.3 V @ 500 mA / 0.4 V @ 1 A - enables regulation from tight input margins (e.g., 2.1 V input for 1.8 V rail), minimizing power loss. |
| IQ (ON) | 1.6 mA max - reduces idle power in always-on subsystems such as real-time clock or standby memory retention circuits. |
| IQ (OFF) | 50 µA typ. - allows deep-sleep mode activation via INH pins, critical for battery-backed data storage applications. |
| SVR | 70 dB typ. at 120 Hz - suppresses ripple from noisy DC-DC pre-regulators, preserving signal integrity in analog sensor interfaces. |
| Operating temp. | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial and automotive infotainment auxiliary rails. |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in thermally enhanced PPAK (Power Package) - 5-pin exposed-pad surface-mount package with RthJC = 8 °C/W, optimized for high-power density PCB layouts and automated reflow assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Common ground reference | Shared return path for both regulators; must be connected to low-impedance PCB plane for stability and thermal conduction. |
| VI1 | Input supply for VO1 (1.8 V) | Accepts up to 15 V; requires 2.2 µF bypass capacitor to GND to suppress high-frequency noise and ensure transient response. |
| VI2 | Input supply for VO2 (3.3 V) | Independent input allows different upstream sources (e.g., buck converter vs. battery); same bypass requirement as VI1. |
| VO1 | 1.8 V regulated output | Delivers up to 500 mA; requires ≥4.7 µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for loop stability and load transient suppression. |
| VO2 | 3.3 V regulated output | Delivers up to 1.0 A; same capacitor requirement as VO1; decoupling must be placed adjacent to pin for minimal trace inductance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent enable inputs (INH1/INH2) | TTL-compatible logic control allows selective shutdown of either rail - enabling dynamic power gating in multi-voltage SoC systems. |
| Stable with 4.7 µF ceramic output caps | Eliminates need for costly tantalum or polymer capacitors - reduces BOM cost and improves reliability in space-constrained designs. |
| Internal current & thermal protection | Auto-recovery short-circuit limit (500 mA / 1.6 A) and thermal shutdown prevent damage during fault conditions without external circuitry. |
| Low-noise output (0.003% VO RMS) | Enables clean power delivery to noise-sensitive analog blocks (e.g., ADC references, PLL VCO supplies) without added filtering. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TSM1014IDT | Single-channel, 1.25–36 V adjustable output; no dual-rail capability; higher dropout (1.2 V @ 100 mA) | Suitable only for single-rail replacement; lacks independent enable and dual-output coordination | Select only if redesign permits splitting rails and accepting higher dropout and quiescent current (80 µA min) |
| TPS7A2033PDBVR | Single 3.3 V LDO (300 mA), 0.17 V dropout @ 300 mA; no 1.8 V channel; 25 µA IQ in shutdown | Requires two separate devices to replicate dual functionality; increases board area and BOM count | Use when higher PSRR (75 dB) and lower noise are prioritized over integration and footprint efficiency |
Compared with TSM1014IDT and TPS7A2033PDBVR, the LDR1833K7-R uniquely delivers matched dual-rail regulation with coordinated enable control and ultra-low dropout in a single PPAK package - reducing design complexity and PCB area while maintaining thermal robustness across extended temperature ranges.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LDR1833K7-R?
The absolute maximum DC input voltage for both VI1 and VI2 is 15 V, with recommended operating range up to 12 V. Exceeding 15 V risks permanent damage per the datasheet's absolute maximum ratings table. Input voltage must remain at least 0.3 V above each output voltage to maintain regulation.
Can LDR1833K7-R operate with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 4.7 µF?
No - the device requires a minimum of 4.7 µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor on each output for guaranteed stability across all load and temperature conditions. Using smaller values may cause oscillation or poor transient response, as confirmed in Section 5 (Electrical Characteristics) and Figure 25 (Load Transient).
How does the thermal protection behave during overload?
When junction temperature exceeds safe limits, the device enters thermal shutdown, disabling both outputs until temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~15 °C below trip point). Recovery is automatic and does not require cycling INH pins - verified in Figure 24 (Thermal Protection vs VO1) and Table 3 (Maximum Ratings).
Is LDR1833K7-R pin-compatible with other variants in the LDR1833/LDR2533 family?
Yes - all PPAK-packaged variants (LDR1833PT-R, LDR2533PT-R, LDR1833K7-R) share identical pinout, package dimensions, and thermal characteristics. Only output voltage combinations differ; no PCB layout change is needed when substituting within the family.
