Product details
Overview
LP2980IM5X-4.7/NOPB 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, and <1 µA shutdown quiescent current. 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/NOPB datasheet, LP2980IM5X-4.7/NOPB pinout, LP2980IM5X-4.7/NOPB application, or LP2980IM5X-4.7/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at light-to-full load, ON/OFF control interface behavior, ground current vs. load, thermal derating in SOT-23, and compatibility with 1 µF minimum ceramic or tantalum output capacitance.
Technical Context
The LP2980IM5X-4.7/NOPB uses a vertically integrated PNP (VIP) pass transistor architecture to achieve ultra-low dropout and sub-100 µA ground current at 1 mA load. Its internal bandgap reference and error amplifier deliver high DC accuracy and low line regulation (0.007%/V typical).
It integrates active ON/OFF control with logic-level enable (ON/OFF pin threshold: 0.18 V low, 1.6 V high), overtemperature shutdown, and foldback current limiting (150 mA peak, 100 mA short-circuit). Pin 4 is NC and must remain unconnected per TI specification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 4.7 V ±0.5% (A-grade, 25°C, 1 mA load); ensures stable rail for 4.5–4.9 V logic or analog circuitry |
| Max Output Current | 50 mA continuous; supports microcontrollers, sensors, and RF modules with burst-mode loads |
| Dropout Voltage | 120 mV typical at 50 mA; enables operation from 4.82 V input - critical for single-cell Li-ion or Li-poly systems |
| Quiescent Current | 375 µA typical at 50 mA load; <1 µA in shutdown (ON/OFF < 0.18 V); extends battery runtime in sleep states |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.1 V to 16 V; accommodates wide-input sources including DC-DC outputs, multi-cell batteries, and industrial rails |
| Ground Pin Current | 80 µA at 1 mA load; remains low across full load range - improves efficiency vs. traditional LDOs |
| Ripple Rejection | 63 dB at 1 kHz; suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding sensitive analog circuits |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, 0.95 mm max height, gull-wing leads. RoHS-compliant, lead-free (NOPB suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.1–16 V; connects to bulk capacitor (CIN ≥1 µF recommended) |
| 2 (GND) | Power ground reference | Device substrate connection; requires low-impedance PCB return path to minimize noise |
| 3 (ON/OFF) | Enable/disable control input | Active-high logic: >1.6 V enables regulator; <0.18 V disables with <1 µA IQ |
| 4 (NC) | No connect | Factory test/calibration pin - must float; no PCB trace, no solder, no probing |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 4.7 V ±0.5%; requires ≥1 µF output capacitor (ceramic/tantalum) for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 120 mV @ 50 mA load enables use with minimal input headroom - essential for aging batteries |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LP2980IM5X-4.7/NOPB to maintain regulation?
The LP2980IM5X-4.7/NOPB requires VIN ≥ VOUT + dropout voltage. With 4.7 V nominal output and 120 mV typical dropout at 50 mA, the minimum functional input is ~4.82 V under full load. At 1 mA load, dropout drops to 7 mV, allowing regulation from as low as 4.707 V - enabling operation near end-of-discharge in Li-ion cells.
Can LP2980IM5X-4.7/NOPB be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, LP2980IM5X-4.7/NOPB supports multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), but requires ≥2.2 µF for 4.7 V version to ensure stability due to low ESR. Verified MLCC part numbers include Murata GRM42-6Y5V225Z16 and Tokin 1E225ZY5U-C203. Avoid using <1 µF ceramics, as they may cause oscillation.
What happens if pin 4 (NC) of LP2980IM5X-4.7/NOPB is accidentally connected to ground?
Connecting pin 4 to ground violates TI's absolute requirement that it remain floating. This pin is reserved for post-package calibration trim; grounding it may activate internal trim circuitry, forcing VOUT out of ±0.5% tolerance or causing unpredictable startup behavior. Always leave pin 4 unconnected on PCB layout and assembly.
How does the ON/OFF pin of LP2980IM5X-4.7/NOPB behave during power-up?
The LP2980IM5X-4.7/NOPB requires ON/OFF ≥1.6 V to initiate startup. If ON/OFF rises slower than VIN, the device enters a defined power-on reset state and begins regulation only after ON/OFF crosses threshold. Tie ON/OFF to VIN via 100 kΩ resistor if enable control is unused - never leave it floating.
Is LP2980IM5X-4.7/NOPB compatible with tantalum output capacitors?
Yes - LP2980IM5X-4.7/NOPB is fully compatible with surface-mount solid tantalum capacitors. A minimum of 1 µF is sufficient (e.g., Kemet T491A105M010AS), and 2.2 µF (e.g., Kemet T491A225M010AS) improves transient response and noise rejection. Tantalum provides stable ESR across temperature and avoids microphonics common in ceramics.
