Product details
Overview
LP2980IM5X-ADJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is an adjustable-output, low-dropout linear regulator delivering up to 50 mA with input voltage range of 2.5 V to 16 V and output range of 1.2 V to 15.0 V. It features ±0.5% typical output accuracy, 55 μA quiescent current at zero load, and stable operation with 2.2-μF ceramic output capacitors - optimized for powering low-voltage microcontrollers in space-constrained industrial and metering applications.
For engineers reviewing the LP2980IM5X-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LP2980IM5X-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LP2980IM5X-ADJ/NOPB application, or LP2980IM5X-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage vs. load/temperature, PSRR performance at 1 kHz (70 dB) and 1 MHz (42 dB), enable threshold behavior, thermal shutdown threshold (170°C), and compatibility with ceramic capacitors without ESR requirements.
Technical Context
The LP2980IM5X-ADJ/NOPB uses a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout (as low as 1 mV at 0 mA, 120 mV at 50 mA) and high PSRR across wide frequency bands. Its internal bandgap reference (1.2 V nominal) feeds an error amplifier controlling the pass element, with feedback via external resistor divider on the ADJ pin.
It integrates active-high enable (ON/OFF), UVLO (2.2 V rising threshold), thermal shutdown (170°C trip, 150°C reset), current limiting (~160 mA short-circuit), soft-start, and internal output pulldown. The new-chip revision supports 1% total output accuracy over line, load, and temperature - critical for precision MCU core supply rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output current | Up to 50 mA continuous - sufficient for low-power MCUs, sensors, and logic rails. |
| Input voltage range | 2.5 V to 16 V - supports wide-input industrial supplies and battery-backed systems. |
| Output voltage range | 1.2 V to 15.0 V (adjustable via external resistors) - covers common logic and analog supply levels. |
| Output accuracy | ±0.5% typical at 25°C; ±1% over full load/temperature - enables tight regulation without post-regulation trimming. |
| Quiescent current | 55 μA at ILOAD = 0 mA; 350 μA at 50 mA - minimizes standby power in always-on systems. |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 1 kHz, 42 dB at 1 MHz - effectively suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters. |
| Dropout voltage | 120 mV at 50 mA, 25°C; 184 mV at 50 mA, –40°C to 125°C - ensures regulation under worst-case thermal/load conditions. |
| Thermal shutdown | 170°C trip, 150°C reset - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
LP2980IM5X-ADJ/NOPB is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm, optimized for compact PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply | Accepts 2.5–16 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 0.5″ of pin and returned to clean ground. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for input/output capacitors and feedback network; connects internally to substrate and thermal pad. |
| ON/OFF | Enable control | Active-high logic input; enables regulator when >0.82 V (new chip); includes internal pulldown during disable to discharge output. |
| ADJ | Feedback input | Connects to resistor divider (R1/R2) between VOUT and GND; sets output voltage per VOUT = VREF(1 + R1/R2). |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers adjustable voltage; requires ≥2.2 µF ceramic capacitor (50% derating considered) for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Stable with 2.2-µF ceramic capacitors | Eliminates need for tantalum or aluminum electrolytics - reduces BOM cost, improves reliability, and simplifies layout. |
| 70 dB PSRR at 1 kHz | Attenuates low-frequency ripple from buck converters, reducing need for additional LC filtering stages. |
| Internal soft-start | Controls inrush current during power-up, minimizing stress on input capacitors and upstream power sources. |
| Active output pulldown | Forces VOUT to GND when disabled - prevents floating outputs and unintended biasing of downstream circuitry. |
| UVLO with 2.2 V rising threshold | Prevents erratic startup or brownout operation by holding regulator disabled until input reaches valid operating level. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at 170°C and re-enables at 150°C - avoids thermal cycling near trip point during marginal cooling conditions. |
Applications
| Residential Breakers | Solid State Drives (SSD) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1703T-ADJ/TO | Fixed 6 V max input; 250 mA output; higher IQ (3.5 µA) but lower PSRR (60 dB @ 1 kHz) | Better suited for higher-current, lower-noise-sensitive applications where input voltage is constrained ≤6 V | Select if >50 mA load or <6 V input required; avoid if 16 V input or high PSRR needed. |
| TLS850F0TES/V0E | Automotive-grade AEC-Q100; 40 V max input; integrated watchdog and reset; higher cost and larger SOIC-8 package | Targeted at automotive body electronics requiring functional safety compliance and extended voltage tolerance | Choose only for automotive designs needing ASIL-B support; not drop-in due to pinout and feature set differences. |
Compared with MCP1703T-ADJ/TO and TLS850F0TES/V0E, LP2980IM5X-ADJ/NOPB offers superior input voltage range (16 V), tighter output accuracy (±1%), and higher PSRR - making it optimal for industrial metering and compact embedded systems where space, thermal headroom, and noise rejection are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LP2980IM5X-ADJ/NOPB?
The LP2980IM5X-ADJ/NOPB has an absolute maximum continuous input voltage of 18 V for the new-chip revision, with recommended operating range up to 16 V. Exceeding 18 V risks permanent damage. This rating enables use in industrial systems with transient surges or wide-input battery-backed supplies.
Does LP2980IM5X-ADJ/NOPB require an external feed-forward capacitor (CFF)?
Yes, LP2980IM5X-ADJ/NOPB benefits from a 10-pF feed-forward capacitor (CFF) connected between ADJ and VOUT to improve transient response and PSRR above 100 kHz. While not strictly mandatory for basic regulation, TI recommends CFF for applications sensitive to high-frequency noise or fast load steps.
What is the minimum output capacitance required for stable operation of LP2980IM5X-ADJ/NOPB?
LP2980IM5X-ADJ/NOPB requires a minimum effective output capacitance of 1 µF (derated value) - typically achieved with a nominal 2.2-µF X7R ceramic capacitor. This ensures phase margin >45° and prevents oscillation, even with low-ESR ceramics that older LDOs cannot tolerate.
How does the ON/OFF pin function on LP2980IM5X-ADJ/NOPB?
The ON/OFF pin on LP2980IM5X-ADJ/NOPB is an active-high enable input. It turns the regulator on when voltage exceeds 0.82 V (typical) and off when below 0.18 V. When disabled, an internal pulldown actively discharges VOUT to GND - preventing floating outputs and ensuring predictable system reset behavior.
What thermal protection features are integrated into LP2980IM5X-ADJ/NOPB?
LP2980IM5X-ADJ/NOPB includes thermal shutdown that activates at 170°C junction temperature and resets at 150°C, providing hysteresis to prevent oscillation. It also incorporates current limiting (~160 mA) to reduce power dissipation during overload, working synergistically with thermal protection to safeguard the device under fault conditions.
