Product details
Overview
LF80ABDT-TR from STMicroelectronics is a very low-dropout linear voltage regulator with logic-controlled electronic shutdown, delivering 8.0 V output at up to 500 mA. It features 0.45 V dropout at 200 mA, ±1% output voltage accuracy at 25 °C, and operates across -40 to 125 °C for automotive applications. Its 50 µA quiescent current in OFF mode and 2.2 µF minimum output capacitance support battery-powered infotainment subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the LF80ABDT-TR datasheet, LF80ABDT-TR pinout, LF80ABDT-TR application, or LF80ABDT-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under load, shutdown logic compatibility (TTL), AEC-Q100 qualification status, thermal resistance in DPAK package, and stability with low-ESR ceramic capacitors.
Technical Context
The LF80ABDT-TR implements a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout performance and inherent short-circuit/thermal protection. Its inhibit function accepts TTL-compatible control signals on Pin 2, allowing precise system-level power sequencing in multi-rail automotive ECUs.
It maintains regulation with input voltages as low as 8.45 V at 200 mA load (VOUT + VDROP) and achieves 80 dB supply voltage rejection at 120 Hz-critical for noise-sensitive analog sensor interfaces powered from noisy engine-bay rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 8.0 V ±1% at 25 °C - ensures stable MCU core or CAN transceiver supply within tight tolerance bands |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.45 V at 200 mA - enables operation from degraded 9 V battery during cold-crank conditions |
| Quiescent Current | 50 µA in OFF mode - minimizes standby drain in always-on vehicle modules |
| Max Output Current | 500 mA - supports multiple downstream ICs including microcontrollers and interface ICs |
| Operating Temp | -40 to 125 °C junction - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood deployment |
| Stability Cap | 2.2 µF ceramic - reduces PCB area vs. traditional 10–22 µF tantalum solutions |
| SVR @ 120 Hz | 80 dB typical - suppresses alternator ripple before sensitive analog circuitry |
Pinout & Package
LF80ABDT-TR is housed in a surface-mount DPAK (TO-252-3) package with exposed thermal pad electrically connected to GND, enabling efficient heat dissipation in compact automotive PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 8.45–40 V DC; internal clamp limits damage during load dump transients |
| 2 (INH) | Inhibit control input | TTL-compatible shutdown pin; <0.8 V = OFF, >2.0 V = ON; draws ≤10 µA |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for IN, INH, and OUT; tied to exposed thermal tab for thermal conduction |
| 4 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 8.0 V ±1% to load; requires ≥2.2 µF ceramic capacitor with ESR 0.1–10 Ω |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-controlled shutdown | Enables zero-power standby of sub-systems via microcontroller GPIO without external FET |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Validated for automotive use with PAT/SYL/SBL statistical testing and -40 to 125 °C operation |
| Low-noise regulation | 50 µV RMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) preserves signal integrity in ADC reference paths |
| Internal protection | Thermal foldback and current limiting prevent latch-up during overload or short-circuit events |
| High PSRR | 80 dB rejection at 120 Hz mitigates alternator-induced ripple in body control modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LDL112M80R | Lower IQ (3 µA OFF), but only 200 mA output; no inhibit pin; SOT-23-5 package | Suitable for ultra-low-power always-on nodes, not high-current or shutdown-controlled systems | Select when standby current dominates design priority and load current ≤200 mA |
| TLV73380PDBVR | Higher dropout (0.22 V @ 300 mA), 300 mA max, no AEC-Q100 rating, SOT-23-5 | Targeted at consumer portables-not qualified for automotive temperature or reliability stress | Choose only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs requiring minimal footprint |
Compared with LDL112M80R and TLV73380PDBVR, LF80ABDT-TR uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, 500 mA drive, TTL inhibit, and 0.45 V dropout-making it the sole option for automotive 8 V subsystems demanding robustness, controllability, and thermal resilience.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at full 500 mA load?
At 500 mA output, the LF80ABDT-TR requires a minimum input voltage of 8.45 V (8.0 V + 0.45 V dropout). This ensures regulation during cold-crank battery dips down to 9 V, with margin for trace resistance and transient droop.
Is the INH pin compatible with 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO without level shifting?
Yes-the INH pin accepts TTL logic levels: VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V over -40 to 125 °C. A 3.3 V MCU GPIO directly drives INH high (ON) or low (OFF) with no external components required.
Does LF80ABDT-TR require an input bypass capacitor?
Yes-a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed close to the IN pin is specified in the datasheet for high-frequency stability and transient response. Omitting it may cause oscillation or poor load-step recovery.
How does the thermal performance compare between DPAK and TO-220 packages?
In DPAK (LF80ABDT-TR), RthJA is 100 °C/W versus 50 °C/W for TO-220. The DPAK relies on PCB copper area for heatsinking; achieving comparable junction temperature requires ≥250 mm² of 2-oz copper connected to the exposed tab.
