Product details
Overview
LK112M17TR from STMicroelectronics is a low-noise, low-dropout linear voltage regulator with integrated shutdown control and internal PNP pass transistor. It delivers up to 150 mA output current with 350 mV dropout at full load, 30 µVrms output noise (10 Hz–80 kHz), and 0.1 µA quiescent current in OFF mode. It operates from input voltages as low as VOUT + 0.5 V (for VOUT > 2 V) and supports 1.7 V fixed output - ideal for powering precision analog sensors and ultra-low-power microcontrollers in battery-operated IoT nodes.
For engineers reviewing the LK112M17TR datasheet, LK112M17TR pinout, LK112M17TR application, or LK112M17TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.7 V fixed output, SOT23-5L package thermal performance (RthJA = 255 °C/W), shutdown logic compatibility with TTL/CMOS, and bypass-capacitor-enabled noise reduction capability.
Technical Context
The LK112M17TR uses an internal PNP pass transistor architecture to achieve low dropout and high PSRR (55 dB at 400 Hz). Its shutdown function accepts logic-level inputs (ON ≥ 1.8 V, OFF ≤ 0.6 V), enabling precise system-level power sequencing.
Thermal protection activates below 150 °C junction temperature, and current limiting responds to short-circuit or overcurrent conditions. Output stability is ensured with standard 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitance and optional 0.1 µF bypass capacitor on the dedicated Bypass pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 1.7 V ±2% - ensures stable bias for low-voltage ADC references and RF front-end LDO stages. |
| Max output current | 150 mA - sufficient for powering Cortex-M0+ MCUs with peripherals active in sleep-wake cycles. |
| Dropout voltage | 0.35 V max at 150 mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or two-cell alkaline (2.4 V min) sources. |
| Quiescent current | 250 µA max in ON mode, 0.1 µA in OFF mode - critical for multi-year battery life in wireless sensor transmitters. |
| Output noise | 30 µVrms (10 Hz–80 kHz) with 0.1 µF bypass cap - meets noise floor requirements of 16-bit SAR ADCs and op-amp signal chains. |
| PSRR | 55 dB at 400 Hz - suppresses ripple from switching DC-DC converters upstream in hybrid power architectures. |
| Input voltage range | 2.5 V to 14 V (for VOUT < 2 V); VOUT + 0.5 V to 14 V (for VOUT > 2 V) - supports wide-input industrial supply rails. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5L package: 5-pin surface-mount, thermally enhanced with die attach flag connected to GND pin (Pin 2) to reduce RthJA.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SHDN) | Shutdown control input | Active-high TTL/CMOS-compatible enable; pulls regulator into sub-100 nA shutdown state when ≤0.6 V. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference & thermal path | Internally bonded to die attach flag - primary thermal conduction path to PCB copper pour. |
| 3 (BYPASS) | Noise reduction node | Accepts 0.1 µF capacitor to shunt high-frequency noise and reduce output RMS noise to 30 µV. |
| 4 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 1.7 V to load; requires ≥2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor for stability. |
| 5 (IN) | Unregulated input | Accepts input from DC-DC converter or battery; must exceed VOUT + 0.5 V for regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise regulation | 30 µVrms output noise with external 0.1 µF bypass cap - eliminates need for secondary filtering in precision analog stages. |
| Ultra-low shutdown IQ | ≤0.1 µA shutdown current - extends shelf life and standby time in energy-harvesting systems. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown (TJ < 150 °C) and current limiting (150 mA) - prevents damage during fault conditions without external circuitry. |
| Wide input compatibility | Operates down to VOUT + 0.5 V (for VOUT > 2 V) or 2.5 V absolute min (for VOUT = 1.7 V) - supports direct connection to buck converter outputs or aging batteries. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6217D172MR-G | 1.7 V fixed output, 150 mA, 250 mV dropout, 40 µVrms noise, SOT23-5 | Higher noise (40 vs. 30 µVrms) and no dedicated bypass pin - less suitable for sub-LSB analog accuracy. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs 10 µV noise margin and thermal performance is secondary. |
| Richtek RT9013-17GB | 1.7 V fixed output, 300 mA, 300 mV dropout, 45 µVrms noise, SOT23-5 | Higher output current but higher noise and no thermal shutdown - requires external fault management. | Choose only if >150 mA load headroom is mandatory and system-level thermal monitoring exists. |
Compared with XC6217D172MR-G and RT9013-17GB, the LK112M17TR provides the lowest noise floor and integrated thermal/current protection in a thermally optimized SOT23-5L package - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-powered precision analog systems where reliability and signal integrity are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation with LK112M17TR?
The LK112M17TR requires a minimum input voltage of 2.5 V due to its 1.7 V output being less than 2 V. This is specified in the datasheet's "Operative input voltage" section and verified across electrical characteristics tables for versions with VOUT < 2 V.
Can the Bypass pin be left unconnected?
Yes, the Bypass pin may be left floating, but doing so results in higher output noise (typ. 50–60 µVrms). To achieve the rated 30 µVrms, a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor must be placed between Bypass and GND - confirmed in the "Description" and "Electrical Characteristics" sections of the datasheet.
Does LK112M17TR support reverse polarity protection?
No, the LK112M17TR does not integrate reverse polarity protection. The absolute maximum rating for reverse input voltage is 0 V, and the device can be damaged if IN is driven negative relative to GND. External diode protection is required in systems with potential reverse-battery or hot-swap conditions.
Is the shutdown function compatible with 1.8 V GPIOs from modern microcontrollers?
Yes - the SHDN pin is TTL/CMOS compatible with a guaranteed ON threshold of ≥1.8 V and OFF threshold of ≤0.6 V. This matches standard 1.8 V logic families, and the shutdown input current remains ≤35 µA at VSHDN = 1.8 V, ensuring minimal loading on MCU GPIOs.
