Description 
The LD39100 provides 1 A maximum current with 
an input voltage range from 1.5 V to 5.5 V and a 
typical dropout voltage of 200 mV. The device is 
stable with ceramic capacitors on the input and 
output. The ultra-low dropout voltage, low 
quiescent current and low-noise features make it 
suitable for low power battery-powered 
applications. Power supply rejection is 70 dB at 
low frequency and starts to roll off at 10 kHz. 
Enable logic control function puts the LD39100 in 
shutdown mode, allowing a total current 
consumption lower than 1 µA. The device also 
includes short-circuit constant current limiting and 
thermal protection. LD39100 is available also in 
AEC-Q100 qualified version, in the DFN6 
(3x3 mm) with wettable flank package.

Application information 
LD39100

DocID15676 Rev 7 
6  Application information 
The LD39100 is an ultra low-dropout linear regulator. It provides up to 1 A with a low 200 
mV dropout. The input voltage range is from 1.5 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. 
Figure 30: "Typical application circuit for fixed output version" and Figure 31: "Typical 
application circuit for adjustable version" illustrate the typical application schematics: 
Figure 30: Typical application circuit for fixed output version 
Figure 31: Typical application circuit for adjustable version 
Regarding the adjustable version, the output voltage can be adjusted from 0.8 V up to the 
input voltage, minus the voltage drop across the pass element (dropout voltage), by 
connecting a resistor divider between ADJ pin and the output, thus allowing remote voltage 
sensing. 

LD39100 
Application information 
DocID15676 Rev 7 
17/29 
The resistor divider should be selected as follows: 
Equation 1 
Resistors should be used with values in the range from 10 kΩ to 50 kΩ. Lower values can 
also be suitable, but they increase current consumption. 
6.1  External capacitors 
The LD39100 voltage regulator requires external low ESR capacitors to assure control loop 
stability. These capacitors must be selected to meet the requirements of minimum 
capacitance and equivalent series resistance defined in the following sections. 
Input and output capacitors should be located as close as possible to the relevant pins. 
6.1.1  Input capacitor 
An input capacitor with a minimum value of 1 μF must be located as close as possible to 
the input pin of the device and returned to a clean analog ground. A good quality, low-ESR 
ceramic capacitor is suggested. It helps to ensure stability of the control loop, reduces the 
effects of inductive sources and improves ripple rejection. 
A value above 1 µF may be chosen when the application involves fast load transients. 
6.1.2  Output capacitor 
The LD39100 requires a low-ESR capacitor connected on its output to keep the control 
loop stable and reduce the risk of ringing and oscillations. The control loop is designed to 
be stable with any good quality ceramic capacitor (such as X5R/X7R types) with a 
minimum value of 1 µF and equivalent series resistance in the 0 to 150 mΩ range. 
It is important to highlight that the output capacitor must maintain its capacitance and ESR 
in the stable region over the full operating temperature, load and input voltage ranges to 
assure stability. Therefore, capacitance and ESR variations must be taken into account in 
the design phase to ensure the device works in the expected stability region. 
If the above conditions are respected, there is no maximum limit to the output capacitance. 
6.2  Power dissipation 
An internal thermal feedback loop disables the output voltage if the die temperature rises to 
approximately 160 °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 the risk of damaging the device. 
A good PC board layout should be used to maximize 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 
heatsink. The footprint copper pads should be as wide as possible to spread and dissipate 
the heat to the surrounding ambient. Feed-through vias to the inner or backside copper 
layers are also useful to improve the overall thermal performance of the device. 
VOUT = VADJ (1 + R1/ R2) with VADJ = 0.8 V (typ.)

DocID15676 Rev 7 
The device power dissipation depends on the input voltage, output voltage and output 
current, and is given by: 
Equation 2 
Junction temperature of the device is: 
Equation 3 
where: 
TJ_MAX is the maximum junction of the die,125 °C 
TA is the ambient temperature 
RthJA is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient 
Figure 32: Power dissipation vs. ambient temperature 
6.3  Enable function 
The LD39100 features the enable function. When EN voltage is higher than 0.9 V, the 
device is ON, and if it is lower than 0.4 V, the device is OFF. In shutdown mode, 
consumption is lower than 1 µA. 
EN pin has not an internal pull-up, so it cannot be left floating if it is not used. 
6.4  Power Good function 
Some applications require a flag showing that the output voltage is in the correct range. 
Power Good threshold depends on the adjust voltage. When it is higher than 0.92*VADJ, 
Power Good (PG) pin goes to high impedance. If it is below 0.80*VADJ PG pin goes to low 
PD= (VIN -VOUT) IOUT
TJ_MAX = TA+ RthJA x PD

impedance. If the device works well, Power Good pin is at high impedance. If the output 
voltage is fixed using an external or internal resistor divider, Power Good threshold is 
0.92*VOUT. 
If the device is disabled (EN pin low) the PG signal is set to high impedance.This is done 
intentionally to avoid pull down current by the PG pin in disabled mode. 
Power Good function requires an external pull-up resistor, which has to be connected 
between PG pin and VIN or VOUT. PG pin typical current capability is up to 6 mA. A pull-up 
resistor for PG should be in the range from 100 kΩ to 1 MΩ. If Power Good function is not 
used, PG pin has to remain floating.
