range. The ST1L05 is stable with low ESR output
ceramic capacitors.
Internal protection circuitry includes thermal
protection with hysteresis and overcurrent limiting.
The ST1L05 is especially suitable for data storage
applications such as HDDs, where it can be used
to supply the 3.3 V required by read channel and
memory chips.
The regulator is available in the small and thin
DFN6 (3 x 3) and DFN8 (4 x 4) packages.
The output voltage is fixed at 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V
and Adjustable. It is available in three different
versions with different pin outs.
Thanks to BiCMOS technology, the quiescent
current is controlled and maintained below 650 µA
over the entire allowed junction temperature
The ST1L05 is a low dropout linear regulator. It provides up to 1.3 A with a low 300 mV
dropout. The input voltage range is from 3 V to 5.5 V. The device is available in fixed and
adjustable output versions.
The regulator is equipped with internal protection circuitry, such as short-circuit current
limiting and thermal protection.
The regulator is designed to be stable with ceramic capacitors on the input and the output.
The expected values of the input and output ceramic capacitors are from 1 µF to 22 µF with
4.7 µF typical. The input capacitor must be connected within 0.5 inches of the V
The output capacitor must also be connected within 0.5 inches of output pin. There is no
upper limit to the value of the input capacitor.

For the adjustable version, the output voltage can be adjusted from 1.22 V up to the input
voltage, minus the voltage drop across the PMOS (dropout voltage), by connecting a
resistor divider between the ADJ pin and the output, thus allowing remote voltage sensing.
The resistor divider should be selected using the following equation:
V
O
= V
(1 + R1 / R2) with V
ADJ
It is recommended to use resistors with values in the range of 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ. Lower
values can also be suitable, but will increase current consumption.
An internal thermal feedback loop disables the output voltage if the die temperature rises to
approximately 165 °C. This feature protects the device from excessive temperature and
allows the user to push the limits of the power handling capability of a given circuit board
without risk of damaging the device.
It is very important to use a good PC board layout to maximize the power dissipation. The
thermal path for the heat generated by the device is from the die to the copper lead frame
through the package leads and exposed pad to the PC board copper. The PC board copper
acts as a heat sink. The footprint copper pads should be as wide as possible to spread and
dissipate the heat to the surrounding ambient. Feed-through vias to inner or backside
copper layers are also useful in improving the overall thermal performance of the device.
The power dissipation of the device depends on the input voltage, output voltage and output
current, and is given by:

6.2 Enable function (ST1L05B, ST1L05C and ST1L05D only)
The ST1L05B, ST1L05C and ST1L05D features an enable function. When the EN voltage is
higher than 2 V the device is ON, and if it is lower than 0.8 V the device is OFF. In shutdown
mode, consumption is lower than 1 µA.
The EN pin has an internal pull-up, which means that it can be left floating if it is not used.
6.3 Power Good function (ST1L05B and ST1L05D only)
Most applications require a flag showing that the output voltage is in the correct range.
The Power Good threshold depends on the adjust voltage. When the adjust is higher than
0.92*V

, the Power Good (PG) pin goes to high impedance. If the adjust is below
ADJ
the PG pin goes in low impedance. If the device is functioning well, the Power

If the output voltage is fixed using an external or internal resistor divider, the Power Good
threshold is 0.92*V

The use of the Power Good function requires an external pull-up resistor, which must be
connected between the PG pin and V
up to 6 mA. The use of a pull-up resistor for PG in the range of 100 kΩ to 1 MΩ is
recommended. If the Power Good function is not used, the PG pin must remain floating.
