Product details
Overview
LE80ABD-TR from STMicroelectronics is a very low dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator delivering 8.0 V output at up to 100 mA, with 0.2 V typical dropout at full load, 50 µA quiescent current in OFF mode, ±1% output voltage accuracy at 25 °C, and TTL-compatible inhibit control. It serves as a precision local power supply in battery-powered instrumentation and low-noise sensor subsystems requiring stable 8 V bias under variable input conditions.
For engineers reviewing the LE80ABD-TR datasheet, LE80ABD-TR pinout, LE80ABD-TR application, or LE80ABD-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 100 mA, shutdown logic compatibility, thermal resistance in SO-8 package, stability with 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor, and operation across –40 to 125 °C junction temperature range.
Technical Context
This device integrates an internal current and thermal limit, operates from 2.5 V to 18 V input, and maintains regulation down to 0.5 V headroom at 100 mA over full temperature range. Its inhibit pin (Pin 5) enables TTL-level ON/OFF control without external circuitry.
The SO-8 package features internally connected pins 2, 3, 6, and 7 to the die attach flag for enhanced thermal dissipation (RthJA = 55 °C/W), while requiring only a 2.2 µF output capacitor with 0.1–10 Ω ESR for stability-reducing board area and BOM cost versus legacy regulators.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 8.0 V ±1% at 25 °C - ensures precise biasing for analog front-ends and reference circuits |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.2 V typ. @ 100 mA - enables operation from 8.2 V input, critical for single-cell LiFePO₄ or dual-cell alkaline systems |
| Quiescent Current | 50 µA in OFF mode, 0.5 mA in ON mode (no load) - extends battery life in always-on monitoring nodes |
| Supply Voltage Rejection | 80 dB typ. @ 120 Hz - suppresses ripple from noisy DC-DC pre-regulators feeding sensitive analog stages |
| Operating Temperature | –40 to 125 °C junction - supports under-hood automotive sensors and industrial motor control PCBs |
| Stability Capacitor | 2.2 µF ceramic (ESR 0.1–10 Ω) - eliminates need for tantalum or large electrolytic capacitors, reducing footprint and cost |
| Logic Inhibit Input | TTL-compatible (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V) - interfaces directly with microcontroller GPIO without level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
LE80ABD-TR is housed in an SO-8 package with exposed die attach flag (pins 2, 3, 6, 7 internally tied) for improved thermal performance. Pin 5 is the TTL-compatible inhibit input; floating defaults to ON, but grounding is recommended when unused to prevent noise coupling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | VOUT | Regulated 8.0 V output; connects to load and 2.2 µF bypass capacitor |
| Pin 2 | GND | Power ground; electrically tied to die flag for low-impedance thermal path |
| Pin 3 | VIN | Input supply (2.5–18 V); requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling |
| Pin 4 | GND | Second ground terminal; tied to pin 2 and die flag for reduced ground loop inductance |
| Pin 5 | INHIBIT | TTL-level shutdown control: <0.8 V = OFF (50 µA IQ), >2.0 V = ON |
| Pin 6 | GND | Third ground terminal; part of shared die flag connection for thermal conduction |
| Pin 7 | GND | Fourth ground terminal; enhances PCB copper pour heat spreading capability |
| Pin 8 | VIN | Secondary input connection; tied internally to pin 3 for parallel current handling and lower impedance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 0.2 V typical at 100 mA enables use with minimal input headroom in space-constrained battery systems |
| Low-noise operation | 50 µV RMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) supports high-resolution ADCs and precision op-amps |
| Thermal-enhanced SO-8 | RthJA = 55 °C/W with PCB copper pour - sustains 100 mA continuous output at 85 °C ambient |
| Pin-to-pin compatible | Direct replacement for L78L80 in SO-8 layout, enabling drop-in upgrade to lower dropout and shutdown capability |
| Robust protection | Internal current limiting and thermal shutdown prevent damage during short-circuit or overload events |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LDL112M80R | 8 V output, 200 mA rating, 0.35 V dropout @ 200 mA, no inhibit pin, SOT-23-5 package | Lacks shutdown control; smaller footprint but higher thermal resistance (RthJA = 200 °C/W) | Select when higher output current is needed and board space is constrained, but system-level power sequencing is handled externally |
| TLV70780PDQNR | 8 V output, 300 mA rating, 0.22 V dropout @ 300 mA, active-low enable, X2SON-4 package | Lower quiescent current (25 µA OFF), but only 2.5 V min input and no thermal flag for high-power dissipation | Prefer for ultra-low-power IoT endpoints with tight input voltage windows, but avoid in high-ambient or high-current scenarios |
Compared with LDL112M80R and TLV70780PDQNR, LE80ABD-TR uniquely balances 100 mA capability, ultra-low dropout, integrated thermal enhancement via SO-8 flag, and TTL-compatible inhibit-making it optimal for industrial and automotive applications demanding robustness, precision, and controllability in one package.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LE80ABD-TR to maintain 8 V output at 100 mA?
The minimum input voltage is 8.2 V, based on the typical 0.2 V dropout voltage at 100 mA load. At worst-case conditions (–40 to 125 °C), dropout rises to 0.5 V, requiring ≥8.5 V input for guaranteed regulation. Input must remain within absolute maximum rating of 20 V DC.
Can LE80ABD-TR be used without connecting the INHIBIT pin?
Yes - leaving INHIBIT (Pin 5) unconnected places the device in permanent ON mode. However, STMicroelectronics recommends grounding this pin when not used to prevent noise-induced false shutdowns, especially in electrically noisy environments like automotive or industrial settings.
Is a 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor sufficient for stability across all load conditions?
Yes - the datasheet specifies stability with a 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor having ESR between 0.1 Ω and 10 Ω, valid for loads from 0 to 100 mA. No additional compensation or feedforward capacitor is required, simplifying layout and reducing component count.
How does the SO-8 thermal design differ from standard SO-8 packages?
LE80ABD-TR uses a modified SO-8 with pins 2, 3, 6, and 7 internally bonded to the die attach flag, lowering thermal resistance to 20 °C/W junction-to-case and 55 °C/W junction-to-ambient (with PCB copper pour). This allows sustained 100 mA output at higher ambient temperatures than standard SO-8 regulators.
