LDS3985M18R

STMicroelectronics · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-23-5L

LDS3985M18R from STMicroelectronics, in a SOT-23-5L. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VI power_in LDO input voltage. Operating range 2.5 V to 6 V (absolute max -0.3 V to 6 V; non-repetitive spike up to 6.5 V for 200 ms). Bypass with a low ESR ceramic capacitor (>= 1 uF).
2 GND power_in Common ground reference for the regulator and its external input/output/bypass capacitors.
3 VINH input Inhibit/enable input. ON mode when VINH >= 1.2 V (typ. logic-high threshold 1.4 V), OFF mode when VINH <= 0.4 V. Inhibit input current +/-1 nA max. Do not leave floating; it is not internally pulled up or down.
4 Bypass passive Reference-voltage bypass pin. Connect an external capacitor (typ. 33 nF) to GND to minimize output noise (30 uVrms over 10 Hz-100 kHz with Cbyp = 33 nF).
5 VO power_out LDO regulated output, fixed 1.8 V for the M18R option. Guaranteed load current up to 300 mA. Requires an output capacitor Co = 2.2 uF to 22 uF with ESR 5 mOhm to 5 Ohm for stability.
