Product details
Overview
LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a high-current LDO controller IC that drives an external P-channel MOSFET to implement ultra-low-dropout linear regulation. It delivers 5.0 V output with ±1.5% accuracy (A-grade), supports 1.8 V to 24 V input, draws only 180 µA quiescent current at 5 V input, and features <1 µA shutdown current - enabling high-efficiency post-regulation in power-constrained systems such as industrial PLCs and telecom line cards.
For engineers reviewing the LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB datasheet, LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB pinout, LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB application, or LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its VSSOP-8 package footprint, gate-drive capability for discrete P-FETs, programmable current-limit threshold (57 mV), thermal shutdown protection, and compatibility with high-current (>5 A) low-noise LDO designs requiring minimal dropout voltage.
Technical Context
The LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB operates as a precision error amplifier with internal 1.24 V bandgap reference and open-loop gain of 5000 V/V, enabling tight load/line regulation (e.g., 0.012% load regulation at 5 A). Its feedback loop controls external P-FET gate voltage to maintain regulated output, while the COMP pin provides access to the error amplifier output for stability compensation.
It integrates overtemperature protection (trip at ~150°C), built-in current-limit amplifier with 57 mV sense threshold, and ON/OFF control with 0.7–1.2 V logic-compatible threshold. The gate drive stage sources up to 3.5 mA and sinks up to 1.1 mA, supporting fast transient response when paired with low-gate-charge FETs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±1.5% (A grade) at 25°C; trimmed for stable operation across −40°C to +125°C junction range. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 24 V - supports wide-input post-regulation after buck converters or unregulated DC rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 180 µA typical at VIN = 5 V - enables low-power standby modes without compromising startup speed. |
| Shutdown Current | <1 µA - ensures negligible battery drain in always-on systems during inactive states. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 57 mV (±13 mV) - sets precise short-circuit current limit with minimal I²R loss in sense resistor. |
| Gate Drive Capability | Sources 3.5 mA / sinks 1.1 mA - sufficient to rapidly charge/discharge gate capacitance of common P-FETs (e.g., NDP6020P). |
| Thermal Protection | Internal shutdown at ~150°C junction temperature - prevents catastrophic failure under overload or poor heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP (Very Small Outline Package) with 0.5 mm pitch, package code DGK0008A. Pin 6 is NC (no internal connection); all other pins are electrically active and validated per TI SNVS006F datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input Supply | Primary power input (1.8–24 V); supplies internal circuitry and gate drive; withstands up to +26 V survival rating. |
| GATE | P-FET Gate Driver Output | Drives external P-channel MOSFET gate; clamped to VIN −15 V min; capable of sourcing/sinking >1 mA for fast switching. |
| COMP | Error Amplifier Output | Provides access to internal op-amp output for external compensation network (e.g., RC feed-forward capacitor). |
| FB | Feedback Input | Monitors output via resistor divider; compares to internal 1.24 V reference to regulate output voltage. |
| CL | Current Limit Sense Input | Inputs voltage drop across external sense resistor; triggers current limiting at 57 mV threshold. |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 6 has no internal bond wire or die connection; must be left floating or grounded per layout best practice. |
| ON/OFF | Enable Control Input | Logic-level shutdown: <0.7 V disables regulator (gate pulled low); >0.87 V enables (typical thresholds). |
| GND | Ground Reference | Analog and power ground return; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise and regulation error. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 180 µA typical at 5 V input enables >10-year battery life in always-on monitoring nodes. |
| User-selectable dropout voltage | Determined solely by RDS(ON) of external P-FET and sense resistor - allows optimization for 100 mV to 700 mV dropout. |
| Integrated current-limit amplifier | 57 mV threshold minimizes power loss in sense resistor while enabling accurate 5–10 A short-circuit protection. |
| High open-loop gain (5000 V/V) | Ensures <0.1% load regulation even at 5 A output, critical for FPGA core supply stability. |
| −40°C to +125°C operation | Qualified for extended temperature industrial and automotive under-hood applications without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2940CT-5.0 | Fixed 5 V LDO IC (not controller); integrated NPN pass transistor; 600 mV typical dropout; no external FET option. | Lower current (1 A max); unsuitable for >2 A loads or ultra-low-dropout designs; no current-limit programming. | Select LM2940CT-5.0 only for cost-sensitive, low-current (<1 A), space-constrained applications where external FET flexibility is unnecessary. |
| TPS7A8300RGRT | Ultra-low-noise (4.7 µVrms) 3-A LDO IC with integrated PMOS pass device; 1.1 V dropout at 3 A; no external current sense. | Higher PSRR (>60 dB @ 100 kHz); fixed 5 V output; lacks programmable current limit and gate-drive flexibility of LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB. | Choose TPS7A8300RGRT when sub-5 µVrms noise and high-frequency ripple rejection are mandatory, and 3 A output suffices. |

FAQ
What is the function of the COMP pin on the LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB?
The COMP pin on the LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB provides access to the output of the internal error amplifier. It is used to connect external compensation components - typically a series RC network - to stabilize the control loop when driving high-gate-capacitance P-FETs. Proper compensation prevents oscillation and ensures adequate phase margin, especially when minimizing output capacitance for size or cost constraints. This pin is essential for achieving reliable transient response in LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB-based designs.
Can the LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB be used to generate output voltages other than 5.0 V?
Yes, the LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB can be configured for non-standard outputs using an external resistor divider on the FB pin, as confirmed in TI's SNVS006F datasheet Application Hints. For example, a 3.0 V output was demonstrated using a 237 kΩ resistor in parallel with the internal 39.9 kΩ divider. However, output adjustment is limited to ≤10% deviation from nominal due to mismatched temperature coefficients between internal and external resistors. The LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB itself remains a 5.0 V–trimmed device; the FB network redefines regulation point.
What is the maximum continuous output current achievable with the LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB?
The LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB does not define a maximum output current - it is a controller, not a regulator IC. Current capability depends entirely on the selected external P-FET, heatsinking, and input-output differential voltage. Reference designs demonstrate 6 A at 1.5 V (Design #3) and 5 A at 5 V (Design #1), with dropout as low as 141 mV. Thermal design must ensure the FET's junction temperature stays below 150°C under worst-case load and ambient conditions - the LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB provides overtemperature protection but does not limit FET power dissipation.
Does the LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB support reverse-voltage protection?
No, the LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB does not provide reverse-voltage protection. Its absolute maximum rating for VIN is −0.3 V, and applying reverse polarity will damage the IC. Reverse protection must be implemented externally - typically using a series Schottky diode or ideal diode controller upstream of VIN. This limitation is inherent to its architecture as a gate driver/controller; protection functionality resides outside the LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB and must be addressed at the system level.
How does the current-limit feature of the LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB work?
The LP2975IMM-5.0/NOPB implements current limiting by monitoring voltage across an external sense resistor (RSC) placed between VIN and the P-FET source. When the voltage at the CL pin reaches 57 mV (typical), the controller reduces gate drive to limit output current. The trip threshold is highly accurate (±13 mV) and temperature-stable, enabling predictable short-circuit protection without significant additional dropout. RSC value is calculated as RSC = 57 mV / ISC, allowing precise setting of current limit - e.g., 10 mΩ yields 5.7 A limit. This feature is fully integrated and requires only one external component.
