Product details
Overview
LP2980IM5X-3.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a fixed 3.0V, micropower, ultra-low dropout (LDO) linear regulator in SOT-23-5 package, delivering up to 50mA output current with ±0.5% initial accuracy and ±1% load/temperature variation. It operates from 2.5V to 16V input, features 69μA quiescent current at zero load, and supports stable regulation with 2.2µF ceramic output capacitors - ideal for powering low-voltage microcontrollers in space-constrained industrial and metering systems.
For engineers reviewing the LP2980IM5X-3.0/NOPB datasheet, LP2980IM5X-3.0/NOPB pinout, LP2980IM5X-3.0/NOPB application, or LP2980IM5X-3.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include dropout voltage at 50mA (≤145mV), PSRR of 75dB @ 1kHz / 45dB @ 1MHz, thermal shutdown at 170°C, enable functionality via ON/OFF pin, and compatibility with wide-input, low-noise power rail requirements in SSDs, electricity meters, and building automation controllers.
Technical Context
The LP2980IM5X-3.0/NOPB employs a CMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout (as low as 2.75mV at 0mA) and high PSRR through optimized internal compensation. Its integrated UVLO (2.2V rising threshold, 1.9V falling) and active pulldown circuit ensure controlled startup/shutdown behavior and rapid output discharge when disabled.
Functional safety features include brick-wall current limiting (150mA short-circuit), thermal shutdown with 20°C hysteresis (170°C trip, 150°C reset), and overtemperature protection. The device maintains ±1% output accuracy across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and supports operation with minimal external components: only 1µF input and 2.2µF output ceramic capacitors required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0V ±0.5% (A-grade new chip); ensures precise biasing for 3.3V-tolerant MCUs and sensors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 16V; accommodates wide-input sources including unregulated DC rails and battery-backed supplies. |
| Max Output Current | 50mA continuous; sufficient for low-power logic, real-time clocks, and analog front-ends in metering and appliance control. |
| Quiescent Current | 69μA at 0mA load; enables multi-year battery life in always-on residential breaker monitoring circuits. |
| Dropout Voltage | 120–145mV at 50mA (–40°C to +125°C); allows regulation from 3.12V input even under worst-case thermal conditions. |
| PSRR | 75dB @ 1kHz, 45dB @ 1MHz; effectively suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters in mixed-signal systems. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C junction; qualified for industrial environments including electricity meter enclosures and HVAC control panels. |
Pinout & Package
LP2980IM5X-3.0/NOPB is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm, optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input supply | Accepts 2.5–16V input; requires ≥1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability and transient response. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common substrate connection; must be low-impedance path to system ground plane for noise immunity. |
| 3 (ON/OFF) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; >1.6V enables regulator, <0.15V disables it with active output pulldown. |
| 4 (N/C) | No-connect | Reserved for post-package calibration; must remain floating - no connection to GND, VOUT, or test probes. |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 3.0V; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor to GND for loop stability and ESR tolerance ≤1Ω. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 2.75mV typical at 0mA enables operation from near-output voltages - critical for battery-powered backup rails. |
| High PSRR | 75dB @ 1kHz attenuates DC/DC ripple before sensitive analog sections, reducing need for additional filtering stages. |
| Enable with pulldown | ON/OFF pin controls output state while internal pulldown rapidly discharges VOUT on disable - prevents floating rail issues. |
| Thermal & current protection | Integrated brick-wall current limit (150mA) and thermal shutdown (170°C) prevent damage during fault conditions without external circuitry. |
| Low-noise operation | 140µVRMS output noise (300Hz–50kHz, 3.3V out, 50mA) supports precision ADC references and RF subsystems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3002E/TT | 300mA output, higher IQ (2.5μA), but lower PSRR (60dB @ 1kHz); SOT-23-5 package. | Better suited for higher-current sensor nodes; less effective at rejecting high-frequency switching noise. | Select when >50mA load or ultra-low IQ dominates over PSRR and thermal performance. |
| NCP1117ST30T3G | 800mA output, TO-220/SOT-223, higher dropout (1.2V min), no enable pin; ±2% accuracy. | Designed for high-power industrial supplies; lacks enable and thermal shutdown in same package. | Choose only if legacy board space allows larger package and higher dropout is acceptable. |
Compared with MCP1700T-3002E/TT and NCP1117ST30T3G, LP2980IM5X-3.0/NOPB delivers superior PSRR and tighter accuracy in the same SOT-23-5 footprint, making it optimal for noise-sensitive, thermally constrained, and battery-backed applications where 50mA is sufficient.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LP2980IM5X-3.0/NOPB?
The LP2980IM5X-3.0/NOPB supports a continuous input voltage range of –0.3V to 18V for the new chip revision. Absolute maximum rating is 18V; operation above 16V is not recommended for long-term reliability. This allows use with 12V nominal systems and transient-tolerant designs in industrial environments.
Does LP2980IM5X-3.0/NOPB require an external pull-up resistor on the ON/OFF pin?
No - LP2980IM5X-3.0/NOPB does not require an external pull-up resistor on the ON/OFF pin. When unused, TI recommends tying the ON/OFF pin directly to VIN to ensure enabled operation. The device has no internal pull-up; however, its enable thresholds (≥1.6V high, ≤0.15V low) are compatible with direct connection to common logic rails.
Can LP2980IM5X-3.0/NOPB operate stably with a 1µF output capacitor?
No - LP2980IM5X-3.0/NOPB requires a minimum 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor for guaranteed stability per the datasheet. While 1µF may function in some cases, it violates the specified design condition and risks oscillation or poor transient response. Always use ≥2.2µF X7R/X5R ceramic with ESR ≤1Ω.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of LP2980IM5X-3.0/NOPB?
LP2980IM5X-3.0/NOPB triggers thermal shutdown at 170°C (typical) and resets at 150°C (typical), providing 20°C hysteresis. During sustained overload, it cycles between shutdown and restart until power dissipation decreases. This protects the die without requiring external thermal management in most SOT-23-5 PCB layouts.
Is LP2980IM5X-3.0/NOPB pin-compatible with earlier LP2980 variants?
Yes - LP2980IM5X-3.0/NOPB uses the same SOT-23-5 (DBV) package and pinout as legacy LP2980 devices, including identical IN, GND, ON/OFF, N/C, and OUT assignments. However, electrical characteristics (e.g., PSRR, dropout, IQ) reflect the "new chip" revision, so functional equivalence requires verification against the specific application's performance requirements.
