Product details
Overview
LMS1587IS-1.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 1.5V, 3A low-dropout linear regulator in a TO-263 (KTT) package, featuring 1.2V typical dropout at full load, fast transient response, and integrated thermal shutdown and current limiting - deployed in Pentium® and PowerPC® microprocessor core supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LMS1587IS-1.5/NOPB datasheet, LMS1587IS-1.5/NOPB pinout, LMS1587IS-1.5/NOPB application, or LMS1587IS-1.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial-grade temperature range (−40°C to 125°C), output voltage accuracy (±1.0% over load/temperature), ripple rejection (60 dB at 120 Hz), and compatibility with 10 µF minimum output capacitance for stability.
Technical Context
The LMS1587IS-1.5/NOPB implements a zener-trimmed bandgap reference with internal resistor divider for fixed 1.5V output, eliminating external feedback components. Its control loop delivers fast transient response critical for microprocessor VCC rails during dynamic load steps.
Thermal regulation (0.003%/W) and junction-to-case thermal resistance (2.7°C/W for output section) enable stable operation under sustained 3A loads without external heatsinking in moderate ambient conditions. Current limiting triggers at 3.1A minimum, with thermal shutdown activating at 150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.500 V ±1.0% (ensured across −40°C to 125°C, 0–3A load) |
| Max Output Current | 3 A continuous (with adequate heatsinking and input voltage margin) |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.3 V max at 3A (enables operation with VIN as low as 2.8V for 1.5V output) |
| Ripple Rejection | 60 dB at 120 Hz (suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters) |
| Line Regulation | 0.005% typical (0.2% max; ensures stable output despite input rail variation) |
| Load Regulation | 0.05% typical (0.3% max; maintains tight voltage under full load step changes) |
| Quiescent Current | 7–13 mA (low no-load power draw ideal for always-on subsystems) |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to 125°C (industrial-grade qualification for embedded computing environments) |
Pinout & Package
Package: DDPAK/TO-263 (KTT), 3-lead surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation. Pin 1 = INPUT, Pin 2 = OUTPUT, Pin 3 = GND (fixed-output variant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| INPUT (Pin 1) | Unregulated input supply connection | Accepts 3V to 7V input; must maintain ≥1.3V headroom above 1.5V output for regulation |
| OUTPUT (Pin 2) | Regulated 1.5V output node | Delivers up to 3A; requires ≥10 µF output capacitor (tantalum or ceramic) for stability |
| GND (Pin 3) | Power ground reference | Common return path for input, output, and internal circuitry; ties to thermal pad for thermal conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast transient response | Stabilizes within microseconds after 1A load step - prevents microprocessor brownouts during burst activity |
| Integrated protection | Current limiting (3.1A min) + thermal shutdown (150°C) - eliminates need for external fault management circuitry |
| Low-noise regulation | 0.003% RMS output noise (10Hz–10kHz) - suitable for noise-sensitive analog subsystems sharing same rail |
| High PSRR | 60–72 dB ripple rejection across 120 Hz–1 kHz - enables clean LDO output even when fed from noisy switchers |
| Industrial temp grade | −40°C to 125°C operation - qualified for automotive engine bay, industrial PLC, and telecom base station applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM1085IT-1.5/NOPB | Same 1.5V/3A rating but commercial temp range (0°C to 125°C); higher 1.3V dropout; no industrial-grade qualification | Suitable only for non-extended-temperature consumer or lab equipment | Select if cost sensitivity outweighs industrial temp requirement and board space allows TO-220 mounting |
| TPS7A8300RGRT | 1.5V/3A adjustable LDO with ultra-low 20µVRMS noise and 0.5% accuracy, but requires external feedback resistors and has 0.6V dropout | Better for RF/analog-heavy systems needing sub-100µV noise; not drop-in due to pinout and external components | Choose when noise performance is primary constraint and design can accommodate 5-pin QFN layout and resistor network |
Compared with LM1085IT-1.5/NOPB, LMS1587IS-1.5/NOPB provides guaranteed −40°C operation and tighter line/load regulation; versus TPS7A8300RGRT, it offers simpler fixed-voltage implementation and TO-263 thermal performance at the expense of noise floor and accuracy.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for LMS1587IS-1.5/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input-to-ground voltage for LMS1587IS-1.5/NOPB is 13V, but functional operation is limited to 3V–7V per the Electrical Characteristics table. Exceeding 7V reduces power dissipation margin and risks thermal shutdown under full 3A load; operation above 7V is not characterized or guaranteed.
Does LMS1587IS-1.5/NOPB require an external capacitor on the ADJ pin?
No - LMS1587IS-1.5/NOPB is a fixed-output variant with internal resistor divider; the ADJ pin is not present. Only adjustable versions (e.g., LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB) expose this terminal. This simplifies layout and eliminates tuning errors associated with external feedback networks.
Can LMS1587IS-1.5/NOPB be used in parallel for higher current?
No - LMS1587IS-1.5/NOPB lacks built-in current-sharing capability. Parallel operation without external ballast resistors or active current-balancing circuitry will cause unequal load distribution and potential thermal runaway. For >3A requirements, select the 5A-rated LMS1585AIS-1.5/NOPB instead.
What is the minimum output capacitance required for stability with LMS1587IS-1.5/NOPB?
LMS1587IS-1.5/NOPB requires a minimum 10 µF output capacitor, specified as "required for stability" in the Typical Application diagram. Tantalum or ceramic capacitors meeting ESR specifications (0.1–1 Ω) are acceptable; aluminum electrolytic types may cause instability due to higher ESR tolerance drift.
Is LMS1587IS-1.5/NOPB RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - LMS1587IS-1.5/NOPB carries the /NOPB suffix indicating Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt) construction per TI's packaging documentation. It uses Sn (tin) lead finish and complies with JEDEC MSL Level-3 moisture sensitivity classification for surface-mount reflow processes.
