Product details
Overview
SI9183DT-25-T1-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a fixed-output 2.5 V, 150-mA CMOS low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator in a Thin SOT-23-5 package. It delivers 135 mV dropout at 150 mA, supports 300 mA peak output, uses ceramic output capacitors down to 1 µF, and features built-in short-circuit and thermal protection. It is designed for battery-powered portable systems requiring stable, low-noise, low-quiescent-power regulation.
For engineers reviewing the SI9183DT-25-T1-E3 datasheet, SI9183DT-25-T1-E3 pinout, SI9183DT-25-T1-E3 application, or SI9183DT-25-T1-E3 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases in portable electronics, and validated alternative options with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The SI9183DT-25-T1-E3 implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with a 1.215 V internal reference and error amplifier driving a PMOS pass transistor. Its bandwidth exceeds 50 kHz, enabling fast line and load transient response-measured at ≤10 mV dynamic line regulation and ≤30 mV dynamic load regulation under 1–150 mA step changes.
It integrates a shutdown control circuit with 0.4 V turn-off threshold and 1.2 V turn-on threshold, 6 MΩ internal pull-down on SD, and supports noise reduction via external 0.1 µF capacitor on BP pin. Thermal shutdown activates at 165 °C with 20 °C hysteresis, and short-circuit current is limited to 400 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±2.5% over −40 °C to +85 °C - ensures stable core logic supply for 2.5 V I/O domains. |
| Dropout Voltage | 135 mV typical at 150 mA - enables operation down to VIN = 2.635 V while maintaining regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA guaranteed continuous, 300 mA peak for 2 ms - supports burst-mode digital loads like RF transceivers. |
| Ground Current | 500 µA typical at 150 mA - minimizes quiescent power loss in battery standby mode. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1–1 µA max - reduces system-level leakage during deep sleep states. |
| Noise (w/ CBP) | 100 µVRMS (50 Hz–100 kHz) with 0.1 µF BP cap - meets low-noise analog supply requirements for ADCs or RF ICs. |
| Ripple Rejection | 60 dB at 1 kHz, 40 dB at 10 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters. |
Pinout & Package
SI9183DT-25-T1-E3 is housed in a lead (Pb)-free Thin SOT-23-5 package (1.6 mm × 2.9 mm × 1.1 mm), optimized for space-constrained portable PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Input supply connection | Accepts 2–6 V input; requires ≥1 µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability and EMI suppression. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Common return for VIN, VOUT, SD, and BP; must be low-impedance local ground plane. |
| 3 - SD | Active-high enable/shutdown control | Drives regulator ON when ≥1.2 V; OFF when ≤0.4 V; includes 6 MΩ internal pull-down. |
| 4 - BP | Noise bypass terminal | Connects external 0.1 µF X5R/X7R ceramic cap to GND to reduce output noise by ~200 µVRMS. |
| 5 - VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 2.5 V; stable with 1–10 µF ceramic output capacitors (X5R/X7R recommended). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 135 mV at 150 mA extends usable battery voltage range - e.g., enables full 2.5 V output from single Li-ion cell down to ~2.6 V. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatibility | Stable with 1–10 µF X5R/X7R ceramics - eliminates need for costly tantalum or aluminum electrolytics and reduces board area. |
| Fast transient response | ≤30 mV load transient deviation (1→150 mA, 2 µs edge) - maintains clean supply during CPU wake-up or radio transmit bursts. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown (165 °C) + short-circuit limiting (400 mA) - prevents damage during fault conditions without external circuitry. |
| Low-noise option | BP pin supports 0.1 µF bypass cap to cut output noise to 100 µVRMS - suitable for precision analog or RF subsystems. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2502E/TT | 250 mA rated, 170 mV dropout at 250 mA, no BP pin, 6 µA quiescent current | Lacks noise-bypass capability; higher IQ limits ultra-low-power use | Choose for higher current headroom where noise is non-critical and PCB space permits larger SOT-23-3 footprint |
| Torex XC6206P252MR-G | 150 mA rated, 200 mV dropout at 150 mA, no shutdown pin, 1 µA IQ | No enable control; fixed 2.5 V only; lower IQ but no SD functionality | Choose for always-on, space-constrained applications where shutdown is unnecessary and dropout margin >150 mV is acceptable |
Compared with SI9183DT-25-T1-E3, MCP1700T-2502E/TT offers higher peak current but sacrifices noise performance and shutdown control, while XC6206P252MR-G provides lower quiescent current but eliminates system-level power sequencing capability - making SI9183DT-25-T1-E3 optimal for noise-sensitive, battery-powered designs requiring active enable management.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the SI9183DT-25-T1-E3?
The SI9183DT-25-T1-E3 has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.5 V, with recommended operating range from 2 V to 6 V. Exceeding 6.5 V risks permanent damage per Vishay's Absolute Maximum Ratings table. For reliable operation, maintain VIN ≤ 6 V in all conditions, especially during load dump or hot-swap events.
Does the SI9183DT-25-T1-E3 require an external feedback resistor network?
No, the SI9183DT-25-T1-E3 is a fixed-output version delivering 2.5 V and does not use the FB pin. Its internal reference and regulation circuitry are factory-trimmed for 2.5 V ±2.5%. The BP pin is used instead for noise reduction - connect a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between BP and GND for optimal low-noise performance.
How does the shutdown function behave on the SI9183DT-25-T1-E3?
The SI9183DT-25-T1-E3 features an active-high shutdown pin (SD). When SD voltage is ≥1.2 V, the regulator operates normally; when ≤0.4 V, it enters shutdown mode drawing ≤1 µA. A 6 MΩ internal pull-down ensures default OFF state if SD is left floating. Tie SD to VIN for automatic turn-on at power-up.
Can the SI9183DT-25-T1-E3 drive a 10 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, the SI9183DT-25-T1-E3 is stable with output capacitance from 1 µF to 10 µF, including X5R and X7R ceramic types. Using 10 µF improves load transient response and reduces output ripple, though 2.2 µF is the typical value specified in Vishay's test conditions for datasheet parameters.
What thermal protection behavior does the SI9183DT-25-T1-E3 exhibit?
The SI9183DT-25-T1-E3 activates thermal shutdown at 165 °C junction temperature and remains latched off until junction cools by ≥20 °C (hysteresis). During overload or high ambient conditions, this protects the device from permanent damage and allows safe recovery without external intervention.
