Product details
Overview
LP2985IM5-2.0 from Texas Instruments is a micropower, low-noise, fixed-output 2.0-V linear regulator in SOT-23-5 package, delivering 150 mA with 1% output accuracy (A-grade), 280 mV typical dropout at full load, and <1 µA shutdown current. It serves as a precision voltage source for ultra-low-voltage digital cores in portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the LP2985IM5-2.0 datasheet, LP2985IM5-2.0 pinout, LP2985IM5-2.0 application, or LP2985IM5-2.0 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 150-mA output under 2.2 V minimum input, BYPASS-pin-enabled 30 µVRMS noise performance, thermal/overcurrent protection, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors down to 5 mΩ.
Technical Context
The LP2985IM5-2.0 employs a vertically integrated PNP (VIP) process to achieve ultra-low dropout and minimal ground current-825 µA at 150 mA load and 75 µA at 1 mA load. Its internal bandgap reference and dedicated BYPASS pin enable stable low-noise operation when paired with a 10-nF capacitor.
It features active ON/OFF control with logic-compatible thresholds (ON ≥1.6 V, OFF ≤0.15 V), foldback current limiting for short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown that cycles output on/off until power dissipation decreases. Stability is ensured across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature with 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitance and ESR as low as 5 mΩ.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.0 V ±1% (A-grade), ensuring stable core supply for 2.0-V logic without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous, sufficient for microcontrollers, RF transceivers, and sensor interfaces in compact portable designs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 280 mV typical at 150 mA, enabling regulation from 2.28 V input-critical for single-cell Li-ion or Li-poly battery operation. |
| Ground Current | 825 µA at 150 mA load, minimizing total system quiescent power and extending battery runtime. |
| Output Noise | 30 µVRMS (300 Hz–50 kHz) with 10-nF BYPASS capacitor, meeting noise-sensitive analog/RF supply requirements. |
| Shutdown Current | <1 µA when ON/OFF pin ≤0.15 V, enabling deep-sleep modes in always-on IoT endpoints. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.2 V to 16 V, supporting wide-input applications including multi-cell battery packs and industrial rails. |
| PSRR | 45 dB at 1 kHz, suppressing ripple from noisy switching supplies upstream of the LDO. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm footprint, thermally enhanced for surface-mount assembly in space-constrained PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Power input | Accepts 2.2–16 V DC; requires ≥1 µF ceramic input capacitor within 1 cm for stability and transient response. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Reference ground | Device substrate connection; must tie to clean analog ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| ON/OFF (Pin 3) | Enable control input | Logic-level interface: ≥1.6 V enables regulation; ≤0.15 V disables output and reduces IQ to <1 µA. |
| BYPASS (Pin 4) | Noise reduction node | Connects to GND via 10-nF ceramic capacitor to suppress bandgap reference noise and lower output RMS noise to 30 µV. |
| OUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | Delivers 2.0 V ±1% at up to 150 mA; requires ≥2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor with ESR ≤5 mΩ for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 280 mV typical at 150 mA enables use with single-cell batteries down to 2.28 V input while maintaining regulation. |
| Low-noise architecture | Dedicated BYPASS pin with 10-nF capacitor reduces output noise to 30 µVRMS, suitable for ADC references and RF PLLs. |
| High accuracy output | ±1% tolerance (A-grade) over –40°C to +125°C ensures reliable logic-level compliance without calibration. |
| Active shutdown control | ON/OFF pin draws only 0.01 µA in disable state and supports direct MCU GPIO interfacing without level-shifting. |
| Ceramic-capacitor stability | Stable with 2.2 µF ceramic output caps and ESR as low as 5 mΩ-eliminates need for larger, costlier tantalum or electrolytic types. |
| Integrated protection | Foldback current limiting and thermal shutdown prevent damage during overload or poor heatsinking conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, 2.0-V LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC7701QDR | Fixed 2.0-V output, but 250-mA rating and higher 350-mV dropout; no BYPASS pin for noise reduction. | Lacks 30 µVRMS noise capability; unsuitable for precision analog or RF supply rails. | Select only if higher output current is required and noise is not critical. |
| MCP1702T-2002E/MB | 2.0-V A-grade LDO with 250-mA output and 600-mV max dropout; includes EN pin but no BYPASS functionality. | Higher dropout limits usable input range; no low-noise path for sensitive circuits. | Prefer when board space permits larger dropout margin and noise is secondary to cost. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LP2985IM5-2.0 to maintain 2.0-V regulation at 150 mA?
The LP2985IM5-2.0 requires a minimum input voltage of 2.28 V to sustain 2.0-V output at 150 mA load, based on its 280-mV typical dropout voltage. At –40°C to +125°C, the maximum dropout rises to 600 mV, so VIN ≥ 2.6 V is recommended for full-temperature-range reliability. This enables operation from partially discharged single-cell Li-ion batteries.
How does the BYPASS pin on LP2985IM5-2.0 reduce output noise, and what capacitor value is required?
The BYPASS pin connects directly to the internal bandgap reference node; adding a 10-nF ceramic capacitor between BYPASS and GND shunts high-frequency noise, reducing output RMS noise from ~120 µV to 30 µV (300 Hz–50 kHz). NPO/COG dielectric ceramics are mandatory-leakage must stay below 100 nA to avoid output voltage error. Larger values degrade noise performance due to parasitic effects.
Can LP2985IM5-2.0 be used with ceramic output capacitors, and what is the minimum required value?
Yes-the LP2985IM5-2.0 is explicitly designed for ceramic output capacitors with ESR as low as 5 mΩ. A minimum 2.2 µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor is required for stability across all loads and temperatures; increasing capacitance improves transient response without risk of oscillation. Tantalum or aluminum electrolytics are unnecessary and discouraged due to higher ESR and reliability concerns.
What happens to LP2985IM5-2.0 when the ON/OFF pin is left floating?
The ON/OFF pin has no internal pull-up or pull-down; if left floating, the device may power up unpredictably or latch in an undefined state due to noise coupling. TI mandates active termination: tie to VIN for always-on operation or drive with a clean logic signal. Floating operation violates Absolute Maximum Ratings and risks intermittent regulation or excessive ground current.
Does LP2985IM5-2.0 include overtemperature and overcurrent protection, and how do they behave?
Yes-LP2985IM5-2.0 integrates foldback current limiting and thermal shutdown. During overload, output current reduces progressively as VOUT drops (foldback), limiting power dissipation. If junction temperature exceeds ~160°C, thermal shutdown disables the pass element; the device cycles on/off until temperature falls. Neither feature requires external components and operates across the full –40°C to +125°C range.
