Product details
Overview
ST1L08PUR from STMicroelectronics is an adjustable ultra-low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) delivering up to 800 mA output current with a maximum dropout voltage of 90 mV at full load, input voltage range of 1–5.5 V, and ±2.0% output voltage tolerance at 25 °C. It features logic-controlled enable, internal current/thermal protection, and operates across –40 °C to 125 °C for point-of-load regulation in space-constrained battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the ST1L08PUR datasheet, ST1L08PUR pinout, ST1L08PUR application, or ST1L08PUR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, DFN8 package layout, thermal performance data, and real-world use cases - all grounded in DS10443 Rev 3 (November 2020).
Technical Context
The ST1L08PUR uses an N-channel power pass transistor biased via a dedicated VBIAS pin (requiring ≥VOUT + 1.5 V), enabling ultra-low dropout while maintaining stability with ceramic capacitors. Its dual-rail architecture separates input power (VIN) from bias supply (VBIAS), decoupling regulation performance from input rail limitations.
It integrates a precision 0.5 V reference for the ADJ pin, supporting output voltages from 0.5 V to 4.0 V via external resistor divider. The device lacks Power Good (PG) functionality - confirmed by datasheet note: "Power Good feature is not present on the ST1L08PUR" - distinguishing it from ST1L08SPUR variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output current | 800 mA guaranteed - supports high-current SoC core rails or FPGA I/O banks without thermal derating under typical PCB layout. |
| Dropout voltage | 70 mV typ. @ 800 mA - enables regulation from 1.2 V input to 1.1 V output, critical for sub-1.2 V logic domains. |
| Ground current | 35 μA typ. @ no load - minimizes quiescent drain in always-on battery backup circuits. |
| PSRR | 80 dB @ 100 Hz - suppresses low-frequency ripple from switching DC/DC stages upstream. |
| Output accuracy | ±2.0% @ 25 °C - ensures reliable margin for 0.8 V ±2% CPU core supplies. |
| Thermal shutdown | 165 °C with 20 °C hysteresis - provides self-recovery protection during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Operating temp | –40 °C to 125 °C junction - qualified for automotive infotainment power rails and industrial SSD controllers. |
Pinout & Package
ST1L08PUR is housed in a thermally enhanced DFN8 (2 × 3 mm) package with exposed pad (EXP) requiring GND connection for optimal thermal performance and EMI control. RthJA = 55 °C/W enables 800 mA operation with minimal board copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Main power input | Supplies regulated output path; accepts 1–5.5 V; must be bypassed with ≥1 μF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| VBIAS | Bias supply input | Provides gate drive for N-channel pass FET; must be ≥VOUT + 1.5 V and ≥2.7 V; separate from VIN for optimal dropout. |
| GND | Power and signal reference | Common return for VIN, VBIAS, EN, ADJ, VOUT; connects to EXP pad for thermal conduction and noise reduction. |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic interface; <0.8 V = shutdown (IQ < 1 μA), >1.3 V = active; supports system-level power sequencing. |
| ADJ | Feedback reference node | Internally biased at 0.5 V; sets VOUT = 0.5 V × (1 + R1/R2); enables remote sensing and precise low-voltage outputs. |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable output (0.5–4.0 V); requires ≥4.7 μF ceramic capacitor with low ESR for stability per Figure 21. |
| NC | No connect | Unbonded terminal; must remain unconnected and unpopulated on PCB. |
| EXP | Exposed thermal pad | Not electrically active; must be soldered to solid GND plane for thermal dissipation and EMI shielding. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 70 mV typ. @ 800 mA enables single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) to power 3.3 V or 2.5 V rails with >90% efficiency. |
| High PSRR | 80 dB @ 100 Hz rejects ripple from buck converters feeding VIN, reducing need for additional filtering stages. |
| Low ground current | 35 μA typ. @ zero load extends battery life in standby mode for portable SSDs and IoT edge sensors. |
| Adjustable output | 0.5–4.0 V via ADJ pin and resistor divider supports multiple SoC core/I/O voltages from one BOM item. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (~1.8 A) and thermal shutdown (165 °C) prevent damage during short-circuit or airflow-blocked operation. |
Applications
| Hard Disk Drive Power Management | Solid-State Drive Core Regulation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6210B122MR-G | Fixed 1.2 V output; no ADJ pin; 200 mA max output; SOT-25 package. | Lacks adjustability and current capacity; suitable only for low-power fixed-voltage rails. | Select only if output voltage is fixed and load ≤200 mA; incompatible for ST1L08PUR's 0.5–4.0 V or 800 mA requirements. |
| Analog Devices ADM7172ACPZ-R7 | 400 mA output; 175 mV dropout @ 400 mA; 20 μA ground current; 20 V max input. | Higher dropout and lower current limit; wider input range suits industrial 24 V systems but not low-VIN battery apps. | Prefer when input exceeds 5.5 V or ultra-low IQ dominates over current capability; not drop-in for 800 mA loads. |
Compared with XC6210B122MR-G and ADM7172ACPZ-R7, ST1L08PUR uniquely balances 800 mA output, 70 mV dropout, and 0.5–4.0 V adjustability in a 2×3 mm DFN - making it the only option for compact, high-current, battery-fed point-of-load designs requiring fine-grained voltage tuning.

FAQ
What is the minimum required VBIAS voltage for ST1L08PUR when regulating 1.8 V output?
VBIAS must be ≥VOUT + 1.5 V per datasheet Section 6.3, so for 1.8 V output, minimum VBIAS is 3.3 V. This ensures proper gate drive for the N-channel pass transistor and maintains specified dropout performance. Operating below this threshold risks increased dropout voltage or regulation failure.
Can ST1L08PUR be used without connecting the EXP pad?
No. The EXP pad is thermally critical: RthJA is specified at 55 °C/W assuming EXP is soldered to a solid GND plane. Leaving it unconnected raises junction temperature significantly - potentially triggering thermal shutdown at ≤400 mA load. ST's recommended footprint (Figure 29) mandates EXP-to-GND connection.
Does ST1L08PUR support remote voltage sensing?
Yes. The ADJ pin enables remote sensing: connect the resistor divider's bottom leg directly to the load's VDD pin rather than the LDO's VOUT pin. This compensates for PCB trace resistance, maintaining ±2.0% accuracy at the point of load - essential for high-current, low-voltage rails like 0.9 V DDR interfaces.
Why does ST1L08PUR lack Power Good (PG) functionality while other ST1L08 variants include it?
ST1L08PUR is the base adjustable version without PG; ST1L08SPUR adds PG and VIN control circuitry. The absence reduces pin count (8-pin vs. 9-pin), simplifies layout, and lowers cost - ideal for applications where system monitoring is handled externally or unnecessary, such as basic point-of-load regulation in cost-sensitive consumer SSDs.
