Product details
Overview
LP2985AIM5X-4.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a micropower, ultra-low-dropout linear regulator in SOT-23-5 package delivering 150 mA output current with 4.0 V fixed output voltage, 1% initial accuracy, 300 mV typical dropout at full load, and 30 µVRMS output noise (300 Hz–50 kHz) when using a 10-nF bypass capacitor. It serves as a precision, low-noise power supply for battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable voltage under light-to-moderate load.
For engineers reviewing the LP2985AIM5X-4.0/NOPB datasheet, LP2985AIM5X-4.0/NOPB pinout, LP2985AIM5X-4.0/NOPB application, or LP2985AIM5X-4.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 150 mA output with <1 µA shutdown current, compatibility with ceramic output capacitors down to 5 mΩ ESR, ON/OFF logic control, and thermal/overcurrent protection - all in a 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm surface-mount package.
Technical Context
The LP2985AIM5X-4.0/NOPB uses a vertically integrated PNP (VIP) pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout (280–575 mV at 150 mA over temperature) and low ground current (850 µA typical at 150 mA). Its internal reference and error amplifier deliver 1% output voltage accuracy across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature and load currents from 1 mA to 150 mA.
It integrates an active ON/OFF control input (logic-high enable), BYPASS pin for noise reduction via external 10-nF capacitor, and foldback current limiting with thermal shutdown. Stability is ensured with ≥2.2 µF ceramic output capacitance and ESR as low as 5 mΩ - eliminating need for tantalum or electrolytic capacitors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 4.0 V ±1% (A-grade) - ensures precise rail generation for 4.0 V logic or analog circuitry without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous - supports moderate-power microcontrollers, sensors, or RF front-ends in portable devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 280 mV typ. / 575 mV max at 150 mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) or 5 V rails with minimal headroom. |
| Quiescent Current | 75 µA typ. at 1 mA / 850 µA typ. at 150 mA - minimizes battery drain in always-on or intermittent-use applications. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01 µA typ. - reduces system standby power to near-zero when ON/OFF pin is pulled low. |
| Output Noise | 30 µVRMS (300 Hz–50 kHz) with 10-nF BYPASS cap - meets low-noise requirements for ADCs, audio codecs, and RF synthesizers. |
| Ripple Rejection | 45 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, 0.95 mm height, gull-wing leads, JEDEC MO-178AC compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.5 V–16 V input; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND within 1 cm for stability and transient response. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Device substrate and return path for IN, OUT, and BYPASS; must connect to low-impedance analog ground plane. |
| ON/OFF (Pin 3) | Enable/disable control | Logic-high (>1.6 V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.15 V) disables output and reduces quiescent current to <2 µA. |
| BYPASS (Pin 4) | Noise reduction node | Connects to 10-nF ceramic capacitor to GND to filter reference noise and reduce output RMS noise to 30 µV. |
| OUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | Delivers 4.0 V ±1% at up to 150 mA; requires ≥2.2 µF ceramic capacitor to GND with ESR ≤5 mΩ for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 300 mV typical at 150 mA - extends battery runtime by allowing regulation until cell voltage drops near 4.3 V. |
| Low-noise operation | 30 µVRMS with BYPASS pin - eliminates need for post-LDO filtering in sensitive analog signal chains. |
| Stable with ceramic capacitors | Supports 2.2 µF output cap with 5 mΩ ESR - avoids cost, size, and reliability drawbacks of tantalum/electrolytic caps. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown + foldback current limiting - prevents damage during short-circuit or overload without external components. |
| Logic-controlled shutdown | ON/OFF pin draws <0.01 µA in disable state - enables system-level power sequencing and deep-sleep modes. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LP2985AIM5X-4.0/NOPB?
The LP2985AIM5X-4.0/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 16 V and a recommended operating input range of 3.1 V to 16 V. Exceeding 16 V may cause permanent damage. For reliable operation at 4.0 V output, minimum input is 3.1 V - ensuring sufficient headroom above the 575 mV maximum dropout at 150 mA and full temperature range.
Does LP2985AIM5X-4.0/NOPB require an external bypass capacitor to achieve its specified 30 µVRMS noise performance?
Yes, the LP2985AIM5X-4.0/NOPB achieves 30 µVRMS output noise (300 Hz–50 kHz) only when a 10-nF ceramic capacitor is connected between the BYPASS pin and GND. Without this capacitor, noise increases significantly. The BYPASS pin directly filters the internal reference, and omitting the capacitor degrades noise performance - critical for ADCs and RF circuits powered by LP2985AIM5X-4.0/NOPB.
Can LP2985AIM5X-4.0/NOPB operate stably with a 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, LP2985AIM5X-4.0/NOPB is explicitly designed to be stable with ceramic output capacitors as low as 2.2 µF and ESR down to 5 mΩ - confirmed in TI's datasheet Section 8.2.2.1.2 and Figure 22. This eliminates reliance on larger, less reliable tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors and supports miniaturized PCB layouts where LP2985AIM5X-4.0/NOPB is deployed.
What is the shutdown current of LP2985AIM5X-4.0/NOPB when the ON/OFF pin is pulled low?
When the ON/OFF pin voltage is below 0.15 V, the LP2985AIM5X-4.0/NOPB enters shutdown mode with a typical quiescent current of 0.01 µA and a maximum of 2 µA over –40°C to 125°C. This ultra-low shutdown current preserves battery energy in standby or sleep states - a key advantage over alternatives lacking dedicated enable control, such as LP2985AIM5X-4.0/NOPB's design for portable systems.
Is LP2985AIM5X-4.0/NOPB pin-compatible with other members of the LP2985-N family?
Yes, all LP2985-N variants in the SOT-23-5 (DBV) package - including LP2985AIM5X-2.5/NOPB, LP2985AIM5X-3.3/NOPB, and LP2985AIM5X-4.0/NOPB - share identical pinout, footprint, and thermal characteristics. This allows drop-in replacement across output voltages without PCB redesign, provided input voltage, load, and noise requirements remain compatible with the selected variant's specifications.
