Product details
Overview
LP2985IM5-4.0 from Texas Instruments is a micropower, ultra-low-dropout linear regulator delivering 150 mA output current with 4.0 V fixed output voltage, 300 mV typical dropout at full load, 1% output accuracy (A-grade), and <1 µA shutdown quiescent current. It operates from 2.5 V to 16 V input and targets battery-powered portable electronics requiring low noise and high efficiency under tight voltage headroom.
For engineers reviewing the LP2985IM5-4.0 datasheet, LP2985IM5-4.0 pinout, LP2985IM5-4.0 application, or LP2985IM5-4.0 equivalent, key selection considerations include its SOT-23-5 package, BYPASS-pin-enabled 30 µVRMS noise performance, thermal/overcurrent protection, compatibility with 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitors, and ON/OFF logic-controlled enable functionality.
Technical Context
The LP2985IM5-4.0 uses a vertically integrated PNP (VIP) process to achieve 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.
It integrates an ON/OFF control input with 1.6 V turn-on threshold and <0.8 µA input current, enabling precise system-level power sequencing. The dedicated BYPASS pin accepts a 10 nF capacitor to reduce output noise to 30 µVRMS (300 Hz–50 kHz), while stability is ensured with output capacitors as low as 2.2 µF and ESR down to 5 mΩ.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 4.0 V ±1% (A-grade), ensuring stable rail for 3.3 V–4.2 V logic and analog subsystems without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous, supporting moderate-power microcontrollers, sensors, and RF front-ends in portable designs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 280 mV typ. / 575 mV max at 150 mA and –40°C to 125°C, enabling operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) or 5 V rails with minimal headroom loss. |
| Quiescent Current | 75 µA typ. at 1 mA load; <1 µA in shutdown (ON/OFF < 0.15 V), extending battery life in sleep-mode applications. |
| Output Noise | 30 µVRMS (300 Hz–50 kHz) with 10 nF BYPASS capacitor, suitable for noise-sensitive ADCs, audio codecs, and PLLs. |
| PSRR | 45 dB at 1 kHz with BYPASS pin active, rejecting switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters. |
| Stability | Guaranteed with ≥2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor and ESR as low as 5 mΩ-enabling small, low-cost, high-reliability designs. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, surface-mount, thermally enhanced for PCB heat dissipation (RθJA = 169.0°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.5–16 V input; requires ≥1 µF ceramic input capacitor placed ≤1 cm from pin for stability and transient response. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Device substrate connection; must be tied to clean analog ground plane to minimize noise coupling and ensure regulation accuracy. |
| ON/OFF (Pin 3) | Enable/disable control | Logic-high (>1.6 V) enables regulator; logic-low (<0.15 V) disables output and reduces quiescent current to <1 µA. |
| BYPASS (Pin 4) | Noise reduction node | Connects to GND via 10 nF ceramic capacitor to shunt reference noise, reducing 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 output capacitor with ESR ≤50 mΩ for full-load stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 280 mV typical at 150 mA enables use with single-cell Li-ion batteries down to 3.0 V while maintaining 4.0 V output. |
| Low-noise architecture | 30 µVRMS output noise with 10 nF BYPASS capacitor meets requirements of precision ADCs and RF synthesizers. |
| Shutdown control | ON/OFF pin draws <0.8 µA and reduces total device current to <1 µA, enabling deep-sleep modes in portable systems. |
| Ceramic-capacitor optimized | Stable with 2.2 µF/5 mΩ ceramic output caps-eliminates need for larger, more expensive tantalum or electrolytic types. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown and foldback current limiting prevent damage during overload or short-circuit conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, micropower LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-4002E/MB | 300 mA output, 6 µA quiescent current (active), no BYPASS pin; 4.0 V output tolerance ±2%. | Lacks low-noise bypass path; unsuitable for precision analog or RF applications requiring <50 µVRMS noise. | Select when higher output current is needed and noise is not critical; verify thermal margin at 150 mA in SOT-23. |
| TLC7705IPK | 5 V only output; 10 µA quiescent current; no ON/OFF control; requires ≥10 µF output capacitance. | Not pin-compatible; incompatible with 4.0 V systems; lacks enable and bypass functionality essential for portable designs. | Consider only for legacy 5 V-only systems where footprint change and redesign are acceptable. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LP2985IM5-4.0 to maintain regulation?
The LP2985IM5-4.0 requires a minimum input voltage of VOUT + dropout voltage. At 150 mA and 25°C, dropout is typically 280 mV, so minimum VIN is ~4.28 V. Over temperature and load, maximum dropout reaches 575 mV, requiring VIN ≥ 4.575 V for guaranteed 4.0 V output across –40°C to 125°C. The datasheet specifies recommended minimum VIN as the greater of 3.1 V or VOUT + rated dropout voltage.
Can LP2985IM5-4.0 operate with a 1 µF output capacitor?
No - the LP2985IM5-4.0 requires a minimum of 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitance for guaranteed stability across all loads and temperatures. Using only 1 µF risks oscillation or poor transient response. The device is optimized for low-ESR ceramics (as low as 5 mΩ), and increasing capacitance beyond 2.2 µF is permitted and often improves load-step performance.
How does the BYPASS pin on LP2985IM5-4.0 reduce output noise?
The BYPASS pin connects to an internal low-noise reference buffer. Adding a 10 nF ceramic capacitor between BYPASS and GND filters high-frequency reference noise, reducing total output RMS noise from ~120 µV to 30 µV (300 Hz–50 kHz bandwidth). Omitting the capacitor increases noise but retains regulation; it is optional only in non-noise-critical applications.
Is LP2985IM5-4.0 compatible with tantalum output capacitors?
The LP2985IM5-4.0 is explicitly designed and characterized for ceramic output capacitors with ESR ≥5 mΩ. While tantalum capacitors may function in some cases, they are not guaranteed for stability due to higher ESR variation with temperature and aging. TI recommends ceramic capacitors exclusively to ensure full-spec performance, especially at light loads and over temperature.
What happens to LP2985IM5-4.0 when the ON/OFF pin is left floating?
The ON/OFF pin has no internal pull-up or pull-down; if left floating, its voltage is indeterminate and may drift near the logic threshold (0.15–1.6 V), causing unpredictable enable/disable behavior or partial conduction. TI mandates active termination: tie to VIN for always-on operation or to GND (via switch/microcontroller) for controlled shutdown. A 100 kΩ pull-up to VIN is acceptable if external control is needed.
