Product details
Overview
LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is an adjustable low-dropout linear regulator delivering up to 3A output current with 1.25V internal reference, 1.15–1.3V dropout at 3A, and fast transient response optimized for microprocessor power rails. It operates across −40°C to 125°C and uses a TO-263 (KTT) package with thermal shutdown and current limiting.
For engineers reviewing the LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB application, or LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial temperature range support, adjustable output via two external resistors, dropout voltage under load, ripple rejection at 120Hz, and thermal resistance in DDPAK packaging.
Technical Context
The LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB implements a zener-trimmed bandgap reference and integrates current limiting with thermal shutdown protection. Its control architecture enables stable regulation with only two external resistors for output setting and requires a minimum 10µF output capacitor for stability.
It supports input voltages up to 13V absolute maximum and delivers regulated output over a wide VIN–VOUT differential (1.5V to 5.75V). The device exhibits 0.05% typical load regulation and 0.005% typical line regulation, with RMS output noise of 0.003% of VOUT (10Hz–10kHz).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 3A maximum continuous - supports high-current logic and processor core supplies without derating at full industrial temperature range. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.15–1.3V at 3A - enables operation with minimal input–output headroom, critical for low-voltage systems like 3.3V or 2.5V rails. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.250V ±1.2% - sets precision of adjustable output; used with R1/R2 to configure VOUT = 1.25V × (1 + R2/R1) + IADJR2. |
| Ripple Rejection | 72dB at 120Hz - suppresses input ripple from switching pre-regulators, reducing need for additional filtering stages. |
| Thermal Resistance | 0.65°C/W junction-to-case (control section) - enables high-power dissipation with proper heatsinking on PCB copper pour or external heatsink. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to 125°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications including motor control and networking equipment. |
| Quiescent Current | 7–13mA - remains low under no-load conditions, minimizing standby power loss in always-on subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-263 (KTT), 3-lead DDPAK surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat transfer. Mounting requires soldering the tab to a large copper area for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| INPUT (Pin 1) | Input voltage supply terminal | Accepts unregulated DC input up to 13V max; requires local 10µF input capacitor for stability and EMI suppression. |
| OUTPUT (Pin 2) | Regulated output voltage terminal | Delivers adjustable output; connects to 10µF minimum output capacitor (tantalum or ceramic) and feedback network. |
| ADJ/GND (Pin 3) | Adjust/reference return terminal | Serves as reference node for feedback divider; must be connected directly to ground plane near output capacitor to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast transient response | Stabilizes within microseconds after load step changes - maintains tight voltage tolerance during CPU burst-mode operation. |
| Adjustable output (1.25V to 12V) | Configurable via two external resistors - eliminates need for multiple fixed-voltage SKUs and simplifies BOM management. |
| Integrated protection | Current limiting and thermal shutdown - prevents damage during short-circuit or overheating events without external circuitry. |
| Low output noise | 0.003% RMS noise (10Hz–10kHz) - suitable for noise-sensitive analog sections powered from same supply rail. |
| Industrial temp grade | −40°C to 125°C operation - certified for use in harsh environments including factory automation and outdoor telecom infrastructure. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM317LDR2G | 1.25V reference, 100mA max output, SOIC-8 package - lower current, smaller footprint, no thermal shutdown. | Suitable only for low-power analog biasing or sensor excitation; not viable for >500mA loads. | Select when board space is constrained and load current remains below 100mA; avoid for processor or FPGA supplies. |
| TPS7A8300RGRT | 1.25V reference, 3A output, 0.5V dropout at 3A, 10µV RMS noise - lower dropout and noise, but requires external compensation and costs more. | Better suited for ultra-low-noise RF or high-precision ADC supplies where 0.5V headroom and sub-10µV noise are mandatory. | Choose when system-level noise budget demands <10µV RMS and input–output differential is ≤0.5V; otherwise LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB offers cost and simplicity advantage. |
Compared with LM317LDR2G and TPS7A8300RGRT, the LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB provides optimal balance of 3A capability, industrial temperature rating, integrated protection, and proven stability with minimal external components - making it preferred for robust, medium-power embedded power delivery where cost, reliability, and ease of design are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the minimum output current required for regulation in the LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB?
The LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB requires a minimum load current of 2.0–10.0mA to maintain regulation, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This ensures stable feedback loop operation and prevents output voltage drift under very light or no-load conditions. Designers must ensure this minimum current is met-either by the application load or via an intentional bleed resistor-to guarantee compliance with output voltage accuracy specs across temperature and line variations. The LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB datasheet explicitly defines this requirement for the adjustable version.
Can the LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB supports ceramic output capacitors, though the datasheet specifies a minimum 10µF value and notes that tantalum is recommended for guaranteed stability. When using ceramics, designers must verify phase margin with actual layout parasitics and may need to add a small series resistance (ESR ≥10mΩ) or adjust capacitance to meet stability criteria. The LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB's internal compensation is optimized for ≥10µF output capacitance with 0.1–1Ω ESR, so ceramic selection requires empirical validation per application. Always consult the LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB application note for layout guidance.
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for the LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB is 13V, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Exceeding this voltage risks permanent damage to the internal pass transistor and bandgap circuitry. For reliable operation, the recommended maximum continuous input is 7V - consistent with the Electrical Characteristics test conditions for line regulation and dropout measurements. The LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB must be operated within these limits to ensure long-term reliability and specification compliance across its −40°C to 125°C temperature range.
How does the adjust pin current affect output voltage accuracy in the LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB?
The LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB adjust pin current (IADJ) is specified at ≤120µA maximum and introduces a small error term in the output voltage equation: VOUT = VREF(1 + R2/R1) + IADJR2. To minimize this error, R1 should be chosen around 100Ω so that IADJR2 remains negligible relative to the main divider term. At higher R1 values, the error grows linearly and degrades output accuracy - especially critical in precision applications. The LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB datasheet recommends keeping R1 ≤240Ω to hold IADJ-induced error below 1%.
Is the LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB is RoHS-exempt and Pb-free per TI's packaging documentation, indicated by the "/NOPB" suffix. It complies with EU RoHS requirements under applicable exemptions for leaded solderability, using Sn (tin) lead finish and meeting Level-3 moisture sensitivity (245°C peak reflow, 168-hour floor life). The device marking "LMS1587 IS-ADJ" appears on the top of the KTT package, and full compliance data is available in TI's Package Option Addendum dated February 2020. The LMS1587IS-ADJ/NOPB is approved for lead-free assembly processes.
