Product details
Overview
LT1965EDD-2.5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed-output 2.5V, 1.1A low-noise low-dropout linear regulator in an 8-lead 3mm × 3mm DFN package with exposed thermal pad. It delivers 310mV typical dropout at full load, 40µVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz), and <1µA shutdown current - optimized for RF power supply filtering and post-regulation of switching converters.
For engineers reviewing the LT1965EDD-2.5#TRPBF datasheet, LT1965EDD-2.5#TRPBF pinout, LT1965EDD-2.5#TRPBF application, or LT1965EDD-2.5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 2.5V ±1.5% output accuracy over temperature and load, stability with 10µF ceramic output capacitors, reverse-battery protection, and thermally enhanced DFN packaging for high-power-density designs.
Technical Context
The LT1965EDD-2.5#TRPBF employs a precision bandgap reference and error amplifier to regulate output voltage via SENSE pin feedback, enabling Kelvin sensing for improved load regulation. Its internal PNP pass transistor architecture enables low dropout while maintaining controlled quiescent current across input/output differentials down to 310mV.
It integrates reverse-battery protection, foldback current limiting, thermal shutdown, and reverse-current blocking - eliminating external diodes. The SENSE pin (Pin 3) connects directly to OUT for standard operation or to the remote load for millivolt-level regulation accuracy under PCB trace resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±1.5% (2.425V–2.575V) over full load and temperature range - ensures stable logic rail for 2.5V FPGA I/O or analog subsystems. |
| Max Output Current | 1.1A continuous - supports high-current digital loads without external current boosting. |
| Dropout Voltage | 310mV typical at 1.1A - allows operation from 2.81V input, enabling efficient use of single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V pre-regulated rails. |
| Output Noise | 40µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) - meets stringent RF/ADC supply requirements without additional LC filtering. |
| Quiescent Current | 600µA typical (active), <1µA in shutdown - extends battery life in portable instrumentation with periodic wake-up cycles. |
| Stability | Stable with ≥10µF ceramic or tantalum output capacitor - reduces BOM count and board space vs. traditional LDOs requiring electrolytics. |
| Protection Features | Reverse-battery, reverse-current, thermal limit, and foldback current limiting - eliminates need for external protection diodes or fuses. |
Pinout & Package
LT1965EDD-2.5#TRPBF uses an 8-lead 3mm × 3mm plastic DFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9) soldered to PCB ground for optimal thermal performance (θJA = 65°C/W, θJC = 3°C/W). The package is rated for –40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | OUT | Regulated 2.5V power output; dual pins reduce IR drop and improve current handling. |
| 3 | SENSE | Error amplifier input; tied to OUT for standard regulation or to remote load for Kelvin sensing to cancel PCB trace resistance effects. |
| 4, 5 | GND | Power ground return; connects internally to exposed thermal pad (Pin 9) - must be soldered to PCB ground plane. |
| 6 | SHDN | Active-low shutdown control; <5.5µA input current; logic-compatible with 0V–20V swing; pull to VIN if unused. |
| 7, 8 | IN | Input supply (1.8V–20V); dual pins lower impedance path and improve transient response. |
| 9 | EXPOSED PAD | Thermal and electrical ground; mandatory connection to PCB ground for thermal reliability and EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise regulation | 40µVRMS output noise enables clean power for RF transceivers and high-resolution ADCs without added filtering. |
| Kelvin SENSE capability | Pin 3 accepts remote sense point to maintain ±1.5% output accuracy at load despite PCB trace resistance up to 100mΩ. |
| Reverse-battery protection | Withstands –20V on IN pin with zero reverse current into OUT - protects downstream circuitry during battery insertion errors. |
| Controlled quiescent current in dropout | IQ remains stable at ~600µA even as VIN approaches VOUT - avoids current surge and thermal runaway common in competing LDOs. |
| Thermally enhanced DFN | Exposed pad and low θJC = 3°C/W enable 1.1A operation at ambient up to +85°C without heatsink in standard 2-layer PCB layouts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A4700RGWR | 2.5V fixed, 1A, 4.5µVRMS noise, 1.15V–6.5V input, 20µF min ceramic cap required | Lower noise but lower current rating; requires larger output capacitance for stability | Preferred when sub-5µVRMS noise is critical and load current ≤1A; not suitable for 1.1A peak loads. |
| MCP1703T-2502E/MB | 2.5V fixed, 250mA, 30µVRMS noise, 2.7V–16V input, stable with 1µF ceramic | Lower current, smaller package (SOT-23), no thermal pad, no reverse-battery protection | Only viable for low-power sensor nodes where 250mA suffices and reverse-voltage risk is mitigated externally. |
Compared with TPS7A4700RGWR and MCP1703T-2502E/MB, the LT1965EDD-2.5#TRPBF uniquely balances 1.1A delivery, 40µVRMS noise, reverse-battery protection, and DFN thermal performance - making it the only option supporting high-current, noise-sensitive, and field-deployed applications without design compromises.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for LT1965EDD-2.5#TRPBF across temperature and load?
The LT1965EDD-2.5#TRPBF guarantees 2.5V output within ±1.5% (2.425V to 2.575V) over the full operating junction temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and load current (1mA to 1.1A), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Regulated Output Voltage" for LT1965-2.5.
Can LT1965EDD-2.5#TRPBF operate with a 2.7V input supply?
No - the minimum input voltage for LT1965EDD-2.5#TRPBF is 3.5V at 1.1A load (per Electrical Characteristics table), due to its 310mV typical dropout plus margin. At 2.7V input, the device cannot regulate 2.5V and will enter dropout, causing uncontrolled output sag. Use only with VIN ≥3.5V for full-load operation.
Does LT1965EDD-2.5#TRPBF require an input bypass capacitor?
Yes - an input bypass capacitor (1µF–10µF ceramic) is recommended if the LT1965EDD-2.5#TRPBF is located more than six inches from the main input filter capacitor or in battery-powered systems, where rising battery impedance at high frequency can destabilize regulation. This is explicitly stated in the Pin Functions section.
How is thermal performance affected if the exposed pad of LT1965EDD-2.5#TRPBF is not soldered to PCB ground?
Failure to solder the exposed pad (Pin 9) to PCB ground severely degrades thermal performance: θJA increases from 65°C/W to >120°C/W, causing junction temperature to exceed 150°C at 1.1A load - triggering thermal shutdown and potential reliability failure. The datasheet mandates soldering this pad to ground for safe operation.
Is LT1965EDD-2.5#TRPBF compatible with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes - the LT1965EDD-2.5#TRPBF is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with ≥10µF ceramic (or tantalum) output capacitors, eliminating the need for aluminum electrolytics. This is confirmed in both the Features list and Electrical Characteristics section under "Stable with Ceramic or Tantalum Capacitors."
