Product details
Overview
STLQ015XG25R from STMicroelectronics is a 150 mA ultra-low-quiescent-current linear voltage regulator in SOT23-5L package, delivering 2.5 V output with ±2% tolerance at 25 °C, 112 mV typical dropout at 150 mA, and 1.4 µA quiescent current under full load - designed for microcontroller core supply and sensor biasing in battery-constrained systems.
For engineers reviewing the STLQ015XG25R datasheet, STLQ015XG25R pinout, STLQ015XG25R application, or STLQ015XG25R equivalent, key selection criteria include shutdown current (≤200 nA at 125 °C), ceramic capacitor compatibility (1 µF min), logic-controlled enable, thermal protection, and operation across –40 °C to 125 °C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The STLQ015XG25R implements a P-channel MOSFET pass element with internal current limiting and thermal shutdown at 170 °C (15 °C hysteresis). Its enable input accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible logic levels (VEN low ≤0.4 V, high ≥0.7×VIN) and drives the regulator into sub-1 nA OFF-mode current.
Stability is guaranteed with 0.47–10 µF ceramic output capacitors (ESR 0.056–6 Ω); line regulation is ±0.01 %/V and load regulation ±0.002 %/mA, supporting precision low-power rail generation without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | 2.5 V ±2% at 25 °C - ensures stable MCU I/O or sensor reference rail within tight tolerance |
| Quiescent current | 1.4 µA (typ.) at 150 mA load - extends battery life in always-on monitoring nodes |
| Shutdown current | 1 nA (typ.) at 25 °C; 200 nA max at 125 °C - enables multi-year shelf life in sealed IoT devices |
| Dropout voltage | 112 mV (typ.) at 150 mA - supports operation down to 2.612 V input for 2.5 V output |
| Input voltage range | 1.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, LiFePO₄, and dual-cell alkaline sources |
| Thermal shutdown | 170 °C with 15 °C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during transient overloads in compact PCB layouts |
| Output noise | 75 µVRMS (10–100 kHz) - suitable for analog sensor front-ends without additional filtering |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5L package: 5-pin surface-mount, 2.95 mm × 1.60 mm footprint, 0.95 mm pitch, 1.45 mm height, ECOPACK® compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Regulator input | Accepts 1.5–5.5 V DC; requires local 1 µF ceramic decoupling |
| 2 GND | Power ground | Common return path for input, output, and enable; must be low-impedance |
| 3 EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic: <0.4 V = OFF (1 nA), >0.7×VIN = ON; no pull-up required |
| 4 NC | No connection | Internally unconnected; leave floating or tie to GND per layout best practice |
| 5 OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 2.5 V ±2% to load; stable with 1 µF ceramic capacitor (0.47–10 µF supported) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ operation | 1.4 µA at full 150 mA load enables >10-year battery life in 10 µA average-current applications |
| Logic-controlled shutdown | EN pin reduces total system current to ≤200 nA at 125 °C, critical for automotive cabin sensors |
| Ceramic capacitor stability | Guaranteed stability with 1 µF X7R/X5R ceramic output cap - eliminates tantalum cost and failure risk |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (250–350 mA) and thermal shutdown (170 °C) prevent damage during short-circuit or overload |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-IQ LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6206P252MR | 2.5 V fixed, 150 mA, IQ = 1 µA (typ.), SOT23-5, no EN pin | Lacks logic-controlled shutdown - requires external FET or system-level power gating | Select when EN functionality is unnecessary and lowest possible IQ is prioritized |
| Micrel MIC5205-2.5YM5 | 2.5 V fixed, 150 mA, IQ = 18 µA (typ.), SOT23-5, EN pin, higher noise (120 µVRMS) | Higher quiescent current reduces battery lifetime by ~12× vs. STLQ015XG25R | Select when legacy qualification or alternate supply chain is required, accepting IQ trade-off |
Compared with XC6206P252MR and MIC5205-2.5YM5, STLQ015XG25R uniquely combines sub-2 µA IQ, integrated EN, and 75 µVRMS noise - making it optimal for multi-year battery-powered sensing where both shutdown control and analog integrity are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required to maintain 2.5 V output at 150 mA load?
The STLQ015XG25R requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROP = 2.5 V + 0.112 V = 2.612 V (typical) to sustain regulation at full load. At worst-case 300 mV dropout (–40 °C to 125 °C), minimum input is 2.8 V. Below this, output collapses linearly with input.
Can STLQ015XG25R operate with a 0.47 µF ceramic output capacitor?
No - the datasheet specifies a minimum of 0.47 µF but guarantees stability only with 1 µF (X7R/X5R) or higher. Using 0.47 µF risks oscillation due to insufficient phase margin; 1 µF is the validated design point for all operating conditions.
Is the NC pin (Pin 4) required to be grounded or left floating?
Pin 4 is internally unconnected and must be left floating per ST's layout guidance. Grounding it may introduce parasitic coupling or violate package stress specifications; no electrical benefit or requirement exists for connection.
Does STLQ015XG25R support adjustable output voltage via external resistors?
No - STLQ015XG25R is a fixed 2.5 V output device. The "XG" suffix denotes the SOT23-5L package with 2.5 V trim; ST offers no adjustable variant in this family. Output voltage is laser-trimmed during production and not user-configurable.
