Product details
Overview
LP2985AIM5-5.7/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a micropower, ultra-low-dropout linear regulator delivering 150 mA output current with 5.7 V fixed output voltage, 1% accuracy (A-grade), 300 mV typical dropout at full load, and 30 µVRMS output noise (300 Hz–50 kHz) when using a 10-nF bypass capacitor. It operates from 2.5 V to 16 V input and targets battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable low-noise bias.
For engineers reviewing the LP2985AIM5-5.7/NOPB datasheet, LP2985AIM5-5.7/NOPB pinout, LP2985AIM5-5.7/NOPB application, or LP2985AIM5-5.7/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 150 mA, shutdown quiescent current (<2 µA), ceramic-capacitor stability down to 5 mΩ ESR, and ON/OFF logic control compatibility with 1.6 V enable threshold.
Technical Context
The LP2985AIM5-5.7/NOPB uses a vertically integrated PNP (VIP) process to achieve ultra-low dropout and minimal ground current-75 µA at 1 mA and 850 µA at 150 mA load. Its internal reference and feedback loop ensure 1% output voltage accuracy across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature.
It integrates active ON/OFF control with 0.15 V max disable threshold and 1.6 V min enable threshold, enabling precise power sequencing. The BYPASS pin supports external 10-nF capacitor connection to reduce output noise to 30 µVRMS, while foldback current limiting and thermal shutdown provide robust fault protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.7 V ±1% (A-grade); ensures stable logic-level supply for 5-V–compatible peripherals without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous; sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, or RF front-ends in compact portable systems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 575 mV max at 150 mA/125°C; enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or 2-cell alkaline (3.2 V min) with margin. |
| Quiescent Current | 75 µA at 1 mA load; minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or wake-up circuits. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01 µA typical; extends battery life during deep-sleep modes in handheld devices. |
| Output Noise | 30 µVRMS (300 Hz–50 kHz) with 10-nF BYPASS cap; meets low-noise requirements for ADC references or audio bias rails. |
| PSRR | 45 dB at 1 kHz; suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Stable ESR Range | As low as 5 mΩ; allows use of small, low-cost X7R/X5R ceramic capacitors (e.g., 2.2 µF 0603) without phase-margin risk. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBV) 5-pin package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, surface-mount, thermally enhanced for PCB heat dissipation. Pin 1 = IN, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = ON/OFF, Pin 4 = BYPASS, Pin 5 = OUT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.5 V–16 V unregulated input; requires ≥1 µF ceramic decoupling within 1 cm for stability. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground reference | Common return path for IN, OUT, BYPASS, and ON/OFF; must connect to low-impedance analog ground plane. |
| ON/OFF (Pin 3) | Enable/disable logic input | Active-high control: <0.15 V disables (≤2 µA IQ), >1.6 V enables; requires external pull-up if unused. |
| BYPASS (Pin 4) | Noise reduction node | Connects to GND via 10-nF ceramic capacitor to shunt reference noise; omission increases output noise to ~100 µVRMS. |
| OUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | Delivers 5.7 V ±1% to load; requires ≥2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor with ESR ≤50 mΩ for full-load stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 300 mV typical at 150 mA enables high-efficiency regulation from marginal input sources like aging batteries. |
| Low-noise architecture | Integrated low-noise reference + BYPASS pin support achieves 30 µVRMS noise-critical for precision analog signal chains. |
| Micro-power shutdown | 0.01 µA typical shutdown current preserves battery capacity in long-idle portable instruments and wearables. |
| Ceramic-capacitor optimized | Stable with 5 mΩ ESR output caps eliminates need for bulkier, higher-ESR tantalum or electrolytic capacitors. |
| Integrated protection | Foldback current limiting and thermal shutdown prevent damage during short-circuit or overload events without external circuitry. |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from –40°C to 125°C junction temperature supports automotive cabin, industrial, and outdoor deployment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, ultra-low-dropout regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC7605CDR | 5.0 V fixed output, 150 mA, 25 µVRMS noise, but no ON/OFF pin; SOT-23-5 package. | Lacks enable control-requires external MOSFET for power gating; better noise performance but less flexible sequencing. | Select when absolute lowest noise is critical and enable functionality is handled externally. |
| MCP1703T-5002E/MB | 5.0 V fixed output, 250 mA, 1% accuracy, 600 mV dropout at 250 mA, no BYPASS pin, SOT-23-5. | Higher dropout and no noise-reduction pin limits use in low-headroom or ultra-low-noise designs; higher current rating suits heavier loads. | Select when higher output current is needed and 5.0 V (not 5.7 V) matches system rail requirements. |
Compared with TLC7605CDR and MCP1703T-5002E/MB, the LP2985AIM5-5.7/NOPB uniquely combines 5.7 V output, ON/OFF control, and BYPASS-enabled 30 µVRMS noise in a single SOT-23-5 package-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-powered systems requiring precise voltage and low-noise bias with intelligent power management.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LP2985AIM5-5.7/NOPB to regulate 5.7 V at 150 mA?
The LP2985AIM5-5.7/NOPB requires a minimum input voltage of 6.275 V to maintain regulation at 150 mA load, based on its maximum dropout voltage of 575 mV over temperature. At room temperature, typical dropout is 300 mV, so 6.0 V input suffices. Input below 6.275 V causes output to droop proportionally.
Can LP2985AIM5-5.7/NOPB operate with a 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes-the LP2985AIM5-5.7/NOPB is explicitly designed to be stable with ceramic output capacitors as low as 2.2 µF and ESR down to 5 mΩ. This eliminates the need for larger, higher-ESR tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors and supports miniaturized PCB layouts.
How does the BYPASS pin on LP2985AIM5-5.7/NOPB reduce output noise?
The BYPASS pin connects to an internal low-noise reference; adding a 10-nF ceramic capacitor between BYPASS and GND filters reference noise, reducing total output noise from ~100 µVRMS to 30 µVRMS (300 Hz–50 kHz). Omitting this capacitor degrades noise performance but does not affect regulation.
What is the ON/OFF pin logic threshold for enabling LP2985AIM5-5.7/NOPB?
The LP2985AIM5-5.7/NOPB enables when the ON/OFF pin voltage exceeds 1.6 V (min) at full temperature range; it disables when pulled below 0.15 V (max). A direct connection to VIN satisfies the enable threshold for most 5-V–compatible systems, and a 100-kΩ pull-down resistor ensures reliable disable at power-up.
Is LP2985AIM5-5.7/NOPB suitable for automotive applications?
The LP2985AIM5-5.7/NOPB is rated for –40°C to 125°C junction temperature and includes overtemperature and overcurrent protection, making it suitable for under-hood or cabin automotive modules. However, it is not AEC-Q100 qualified; for safety-critical automotive use, consult TI's automotive-grade alternatives.
