Product details
Overview
LP2980IM5X-4.7 from Texas Instruments is a micropower 50-mA ultra-low-dropout linear regulator in SOT-23-5 package, delivering fixed 4.7 V output with ±0.5% initial accuracy (A-grade), 120 mV typical dropout at 50 mA, <1 µA shutdown current, and stable operation with only 1 µF output capacitance. It serves as a precision voltage source for low-power portable systems where battery life and tight regulation are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LP2980IM5X-4.7 datasheet, LP2980IM5X-4.7 pinout, LP2980IM5X-4.7 application, or LP2980IM5X-4.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 50-mA output under 125°C junction temperature, ON/OFF logic control with 0.18 V disable threshold, ground current as low as 80 µA at 1 mA load, and compatibility with ceramic, tantalum, and electrolytic output capacitors ≥1 µF.
Technical Context
The LP2980IM5X-4.7 uses a vertically integrated PNP (VIP) pass transistor architecture to achieve ultra-low dropout and minimal ground current across load range. Its internal bandgap reference and error amplifier maintain output stability over −40°C to +125°C, with line regulation of 0.007%/V and load regulation within ±0.75% from 1 mA to 50 mA.
It integrates active shutdown control via the ON/OFF pin, enabling sleep mode with <1 µA quiescent current, and includes foldback current limiting (100–150 mA peak), thermal shutdown, and reverse-current protection through the inherent PNP base-collector diode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 4.7 V ±0.5% (A-grade) - ensures stable rail for 4.5–4.9 V logic or analog circuitry without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 50 mA - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, or RF front-ends in space-constrained portable designs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 120 mV typical at 50 mA - enables regulation from 4.82 V input, extending usable battery voltage range in single-cell Li-ion or multi-cell alkaline systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 375 µA typical at 50 mA; <1 µA in shutdown - minimizes standby power loss, critical for always-on battery-backed functions. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.1 V to 16 V - supports wide input sources including unregulated DC-DC outputs, USB, or industrial rails. |
| Output Capacitor | 1 µF minimum (ceramic/tantalum) - reduces BOM count and PCB area; 2.2 µF improves transient response and noise rejection. |
| Ripple Rejection | 63 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters, preserving signal integrity in mixed-signal applications. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for automotive cabin, industrial control, and extended-temperature embedded deployments. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, 0.95 mm height, gull-wing leads, JEDEC MO-178 compliant. Thermal resistance RθJA = 175.7°C/W on high-K PCB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.1–16 V; requires local 1 µF bypass capacitor to minimize AC impedance and improve PSRR. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Device substrate connection; must be low-impedance path to system ground to ensure regulation accuracy and thermal performance. |
| 3 (ON/OFF) | Enable/disable control input | Logic-high (>1.6 V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.18 V) disables output and reduces IQ to <1 µA - supports host-controlled power sequencing. |
| 4 (NC) | No-connect terminal | Floating test pin reserved for factory calibration; must remain unconnected - soldering or probing risks output voltage drift or damage. |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 4.7 V ±0.5%; requires ≥1 µF output capacitor for loop stability; ESR must be within 0.1–10 Ω for ceramic/tantalum types. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 120 mV at 50 mA load enables operation down to 4.82 V input - extends battery runtime in single-cell systems. |
| High-accuracy output | ±0.5% initial tolerance (A-grade) eliminates need for post-production trimming in precision sensor or ADC reference applications. |
| Minimal external components | Stable with only 1 µF output capacitor - reduces bill-of-materials cost and PCB footprint versus legacy LDOs requiring 10 µF+. |
| Active shutdown control | ON/OFF pin draws <1 µA when pulled low - allows microcontroller GPIO to gate power to peripheral subsystems without leakage penalties. |
| Robust protection | Integrated thermal shutdown, foldback current limiting (100–150 mA), and reverse-current blocking prevent damage during fault conditions. |
| Wide temperature operation | Specified from −40°C to +125°C junction - suitable for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and outdoor IoT nodes. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LP2980IM5X-4.7?
The LP2980IM5X-4.7 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 16 V. Operation beyond this limit may cause permanent damage. For reliable continuous use, the recommended input voltage range is 2.1 V to 16 V, with optimal performance observed when VIN remains within 0.6 V above VOUT (i.e., ≥5.3 V) to ensure full regulation across temperature and load.
Does the LP2980IM5X-4.7 require an external capacitor on the IN pin?
The LP2980IM5X-4.7 does not mandate an input capacitor for basic stability, but a 1 µF ceramic capacitor placed close to the IN pin significantly improves line transient response and reduces high-frequency noise coupling. TI recommends this practice in all production designs, especially when powered from switching regulators or long PCB traces with inductive impedance.
Can pin 4 (NC) of the LP2980IM5X-4.7 be left floating or must it be grounded?
Pin 4 of the LP2980IM5X-4.7 must be left floating - it is a no-connect terminal reserved for post-package calibration and must not be tied to ground, VCC, or any other potential. Connecting pin 4 risks activating internal trim circuitry, causing output voltage drift outside ±0.5% tolerance or permanent device malfunction.
What is the typical ground pin current of the LP2980IM5X-4.7 at 50 mA load?
The typical ground pin current of the LP2980IM5X-4.7 at 50 mA load and TA = 25°C is 375 µA. This value increases to ≤1200 µA over the full −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range. Low ground current directly contributes to high efficiency in battery-powered systems, particularly at light loads.
Is the LP2980IM5X-4.7 compatible with multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) on the output?
Yes, the LP2980IM5X-4.7 is compatible with MLCCs, but requires ≥2.2 µF capacitance for stable operation due to their ultra-low ESR. TI validates 2.2 µF and 4.7 µF MLCCs (e.g., Murata GRM42-6Y5V225Z16) - using 1 µF MLCCs may cause oscillation. Tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors ≥1 µF are also supported with broader ESR tolerance.
