Product details
Overview
LP2980AIM5X-4.7 from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output, micropower, ultra-low dropout (LDO) linear regulator in SOT-23-5 package delivering 4.7 V at up to 50 mA with ±0.5% initial accuracy, 1% load-and-temperature accuracy, and 69 µA quiescent current at zero load - designed for powering low-voltage microcontrollers and sensors in space-constrained, battery-sensitive applications such as solid-state drives and electricity meters.
For engineers reviewing the LP2980AIM5X-4.7 datasheet, LP2980AIM5X-4.7 pinout, LP2980AIM5X-4.7 application, or LP2980AIM5X-4.7 equivalent, key selection considerations include dropout voltage ≤145 mV at 50 mA/125°C, PSRR of 75 dB at 1 kHz, stability with 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitors, and integrated enable (ON/OFF) control with 1.12 µA shutdown current.
Technical Context
The LP2980AIM5X-4.7 employs a CMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout (as low as 2.75 mV at 0 mA) and high PSRR performance. Its internal bandgap reference and error amplifier deliver tight regulation across line, load, and temperature - maintaining ±1% output accuracy from –40°C to +125°C at full 50 mA load.
It integrates active features including undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 2.2 V turn-on threshold and 0.13 V hysteresis, thermal shutdown at 170°C with 20°C hysteresis, brick-wall current limiting (150 mA), and an active output pulldown during disable to rapidly discharge output capacitance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 4.7 V ±0.5% (A-grade new chip); enables precise biasing of 4.7 V–tolerant logic and analog circuitry without external feedback. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 16 V; supports wide-input systems including 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V rails with margin for ripple or sag. |
| Max Output Current | 50 mA continuous; sufficient for MCU cores, RF transceivers, and sensor signal chains in compact embedded designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 69 µA at ILOAD = 0 mA; minimizes standby power loss in always-on or battery-backed subsystems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 120–145 mV at 50 mA over –40°C to +125°C; allows regulation from 4.82 V input at worst-case temp, extending usable input range. |
| PSRR | 75 dB @ 1 kHz, 45 dB @ 1 MHz; effectively suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters, reducing need for post-regulator filtering. |
| Stability | Stable with ≥2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor; eliminates need for tantalum or electrolytic caps, improving reliability and board area efficiency. |
Pinout & Package
LP2980AIM5X-4.7 is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm, optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input supply | Accepts 2.5–16 V input; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability and transient response. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common substrate return path for all internal circuits; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| 3 (ON/OFF) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; >1.6 V enables regulator, <0.15 V disables it; internal pulldown ensures safe default-off state. |
| 4 (N/C) | No-connect | Reserved for factory calibration; must remain floating - no connection to GND, VIN, or any potential to avoid VOUT drift or damage. |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 4.7 V; requires ≥2.2 µF ceramic capacitor to GND; internal pulldown discharges output when disabled. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | As low as 2.75 mV at 0 mA enables operation with minimal headroom - critical for single-cell Li-ion or low-VIN industrial rails. |
| High PSRR | 75 dB at 1 kHz attenuates DC/DC switching artifacts, allowing cleaner power delivery to noise-sensitive ADCs and PLLs. |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | ON/OFF pin reduces total system current to 1.12 µA typical, supporting deep-sleep modes in IoT edge nodes and metering devices. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown (170°C), current limiting (150 mA), and UVLO prevent fault propagation and ensure robust field operation. |
| Low-noise operation | 140 µVRMS output noise (300 Hz–50 kHz, 3.3 V variant) supports precision analog front-ends without added filtering. |
Applications
| Residential Breakers | Solid-State Drives (SSD) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-4702E/TT | 4.7 V fixed, 250 mA max, 1.6 µA IQ, but higher dropout (270 mV @ 250 mA) and lower PSRR (60 dB @ 1 kHz). | Higher current capability suits larger loads, but less suitable for ultra-low-noise or ultra-low-headroom use cases. | Select if higher output current is required and PSRR/dropout are secondary concerns. |
| NCP1117ST4.7T3G | 4.7 V fixed, 1 A max, 6 mA IQ, TO-220/SOT-223 package, 1.2 V dropout min - significantly higher IQ and larger footprint. | Designed for high-current, non-portable applications; not viable for space- or power-constrained designs. | Choose only when >100 mA load current or industrial-grade thermal dissipation is mandatory. |
Compared with MCP1700T-4702E/TT and NCP1117ST4.7T3G, the LP2980AIM5X-4.7 delivers superior micropower efficiency (69 µA vs. 1.6 µA–6 mA), tighter accuracy (±0.5% vs. ±2%), and lower dropout - making it optimal for compact, battery-aware, noise-sensitive systems where 50 mA suffices.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LP2980AIM5X-4.7 over temperature and load?
The LP2980AIM5X-4.7 maintains ±1% output voltage accuracy across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and full load range (0–50 mA). This specification applies to the "new chip" revision and ensures reliable biasing for precision analog and digital circuits without external trimming.
Does the LP2980AIM5X-4.7 require an external pull-up on the ON/OFF pin?
No - the LP2980AIM5X-4.7 does not require an external pull-up on the ON/OFF pin. When unused, the pin may be tied directly to VIN to enable the device permanently. The internal circuitry provides appropriate thresholds (≥1.6 V to enable, ≤0.15 V to disable), and no external bias is needed for basic operation.
Can the LP2980AIM5X-4.7 operate with a 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes - the LP2980AIM5X-4.7 is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with a minimum 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor (X5R/X7R, 10% tolerance). This eliminates reliance on bulkier, less reliable tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors and simplifies layout in high-density designs.
What is the maximum junction temperature and thermal shutdown behavior of the LP2980AIM5X-4.7?
The LP2980AIM5X-4.7 features thermal shutdown activation at 170°C (typical) with a 20°C hysteresis (reset at ~150°C). Its RθJA is 178.6°C/W in the SOT-23-5 (DBV) package. To maintain reliability, keep the junction temperature ≤125°C under continuous operation using appropriate PCB copper area and airflow.
Is pin 4 (N/C) on the LP2980AIM5X-4.7 safe to connect to ground?
No - pin 4 on the LP2980AIM5X-4.7 is designated N/C (no-connect) and reserved for factory calibration. Connecting it to ground, VIN, or any potential risks output voltage drift, calibration corruption, or permanent damage. It must remain electrically floating in all designs.
