Product details

5V fixed rail with 49dB PSRR at line frequency

The STMicroelectronics L78L05ABUTR is a fixed 5V positive-output linear regulator delivering up to 100 mA in the SOT-89-3 package. Its 49 dB PSRR at 120 Hz means the output ripple from a full-wave-rectified mains supply is attenuated by a factor of ~280 — critical when powering analog front-ends or MCU ADCs from an unregulated DC bus.

Input range, quiescent draw, and protection

Maximum input voltage is 30 V, giving 25 V of drop-out headroom above the 5 V rail — the part dissipates the difference as heat, so the 100 mA output at high input-to-output differential demands attention to the SOT-89-3's thermal pad. Quiescent current is 5.5 mA typical, with a 6 mA supply maximum; this Iq floor matters in always-on or battery-backed 5 V rails where every milliamp counts. Built-in protection covers over-current, over-temperature, and short-circuit events — the regulator survives a sustained output short without damage, though the thermal-shutdown cycle will pulse the rail.

Package footprint and mounting

Housed in a TO-243AA (SOT-89-3) surface-mount package, the L78L05ABUTR occupies a compact board footprint suited to space-constrained PSU sections.

It is RoHS3 compliant, meeting the current EU restriction directive for lead and other hazardous substances.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I source L78L05ABUTR and get a quote for volume?

The L78L05ABUTR is sourced through authorized and independent distribution. Pricing and lead time are confirmed at RFQ against the specific BOM quantity and delivery schedule — submit a request for a current quote.

What is the PSRR of L78L05ABUTR and why does it matter?

PSRR is 49 dB at 120 Hz. This means the regulator attenuates 120 Hz ripple from a full-wave rectified supply by roughly 280:1 — a 1 V peak-to-peak ripple on the input drops to about 3.5 mV on the output, which is clean enough for most 5 V analog and logic rails without post-filtering.

Does L78L05ABUTR drop in as a replacement for L78L09ABD13TR?

No — the L78L05ABUTR outputs a fixed 5 V rail, while the L78L09ABD13TR outputs 9 V. Both are 100 mA positive regulators in surface-mount packages, but the output voltage difference means the board's load circuitry and input-to-output dropout margin must be re-evaluated. They are not pin-compatible substitutes without a design review.

What compliance documentation does STMicroelectronics provide for L78L05ABUTR?

STMicroelectronics confirms RoHS3 compliance for this part number.
