Product details
Overview
LP2985IM5X-3.1/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a micropower, ultra-low-dropout linear regulator delivering 150 mA output current with 3.1 V fixed output voltage, 300 mV typical dropout at full load, 1% output voltage accuracy (A-grade), and 30 µVRMS output noise (300 Hz–50 kHz) when using a 10-nF bypass capacitor - designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable low-noise bias.
For engineers reviewing the LP2985IM5X-3.1/NOPB datasheet, LP2985IM5X-3.1/NOPB pinout, LP2985IM5X-3.1/NOPB application, or LP2985IM5X-3.1/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its SOT-23-5 package footprint, ON/OFF logic control interface, compatibility with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors (≥2.2 µF, ESR ≥5 mΩ), and shutdown quiescent current < 2 µA.
Technical Context
The LP2985IM5X-3.1/NOPB employs a vertically integrated PNP (VIP) pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout (≤575 mV max at 150 mA over temperature) and low ground current (75 µA typ. at 1 mA, 850 µA typ. at 150 mA). Its internal reference and error amplifier are optimized for stability with ceramic capacitors down to 5 mΩ ESR.
It integrates active ON/OFF control (logic-high enable, 1.6 V threshold), foldback current limiting (400 mA short-circuit limit), thermal shutdown, and low-noise operation via dedicated BYPASS pin - all in a 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm SOT-23-5 package rated for −40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.1 V ±1% (A-grade) - ensures precise biasing for 3.3 V I/O rails with margin, compatible with 3.3 V logic without level shifting. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, RF transceivers, or sensor signal chains in compact portable devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤575 mV at 150 mA, −40°C to +125°C - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or 3.3 V supply with headroom. |
| Quiescent Current | 75 µA at 1 mA load; ≤2 µA in shutdown - extends battery life in always-on or duty-cycled applications like wearables. |
| Output Noise | 30 µVRMS (300 Hz–50 kHz) with 10 nF BYPASS cap - meets low-noise requirements for ADC references, audio codecs, and precision analog circuits. |
| PSRR | 45 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Stability Support | Stable with ceramic COUT ≥2.2 µF and ESR as low as 5 mΩ - eliminates need for bulky tantalum or electrolytic capacitors. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package (2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size), surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel packaging.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 3.1 V to 16 V input; requires ≥1 µF ceramic input capacitor placed within 1 cm of 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 into regulated output. |
| 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 reduce internal reference noise - lowers output RMS noise to 30 µV. |
| OUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | Delivers 3.1 V ±1% at up to 150 mA; requires ≥2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor with ESR ≥5 mΩ for guaranteed stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 300 mV typical at 150 mA load - enables use with weak or aging batteries while maintaining regulation. |
| Low-noise operation | 30 µVRMS output noise with 10 nF BYPASS cap - eliminates need for post-regulation filtering in sensitive analog stages. |
| Shutdown control | <2 µA quiescent current in OFF state - critical for zero-power standby modes in IoT edge nodes and medical sensors. |
| Ceramic-capacitor stability | Validated with 2.2 µF/5 mΩ ceramic COUT - reduces BOM cost, board area, and failure risk vs. tantalum alternatives. |
| Integrated protection | Foldback current limiting (400 mA SC limit) and thermal shutdown - prevents damage during fault conditions without external circuitry. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TSS721AIDBVR | 3.3 V fixed output, 250 mA rating, 170 mV typical dropout, no BYPASS pin - higher current but higher noise (65 µVRMS) and no low-noise mode. | Preferred where higher output current is needed and noise sensitivity is lower (e.g., digital-only rails). | Select TSS721AIDBVR only if 3.3 V (not 3.1 V) output is acceptable and 65 µVRMS noise meets system SNR budget. |
| MCP1700T-3102E/TT | 3.1 V fixed output, 250 mA rating, 600 mV max dropout at 250 mA, no ON/OFF pin - lacks enable control and has higher ground current (2.5 µA shutdown vs. <2 µA). | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-shutdown applications where PCB space allows larger SOT-23-3 footprint. | Choose MCP1700T-3102E/TT only if enable functionality is unnecessary and 250 mA headroom justifies trade-off in noise (115 µVRMS) and shutdown current. |
Compared with LP2985IM5X-3.1/NOPB, TSS721AIDBVR offers higher current but sacrifices low-noise capability and exact 3.1 V output, while MCP1700T-3102E/TT matches the 3.1 V output but omits ON/OFF control and delivers significantly higher output noise - making LP2985IM5X-3.1/NOPB uniquely suited for noise- and enable-sensitive 3.1 V portable designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LP2985IM5X-3.1/NOPB to regulate 3.1 V output?
The LP2985IM5X-3.1/NOPB requires a minimum input voltage of 3.1 V plus its dropout voltage. At 150 mA load and −40°C to +125°C, maximum dropout is 575 mV, so minimum VIN is 3.675 V. At light loads (1 mA), dropout drops to 7 mV, allowing regulation down to ~3.107 V - but design margin should assume worst-case 575 mV.
Can LP2985IM5X-3.1/NOPB operate without the BYPASS capacitor?
Yes, LP2985IM5X-3.1/NOPB functions without the BYPASS capacitor, delivering 3.1 V output with standard performance. However, omitting the 10 nF capacitor increases output noise from 30 µVRMS to approximately 115 µVRMS. The BYPASS pin may be left floating or tied to OUT only if noise is not critical; grounding it disables low-noise mode.
Is LP2985IM5X-3.1/NOPB pin-compatible with other LP2985 variants?
Yes, all LP2985-N variants in the SOT-23-5 (DBV) package share identical pinout: IN (1), GND (2), ON/OFF (3), BYPASS (4), OUT (5). Voltage variants (e.g., LP2985IM5X-2.8/NOPB or LP2985IM5X-5.0/NOPB) are direct replacements for footprint and control interface - only output voltage differs.
What output capacitor ESR range ensures stability for LP2985IM5X-3.1/NOPB?
LP2985IM5X-3.1/NOPB is stable with ceramic output capacitors having ESR as low as 5 mΩ and up to approximately 300 mΩ across 1 mA–150 mA load range. TI's datasheet Figure 22 confirms stability for 2.2 µF X7R ceramics (typical ESR ~10–20 mΩ). Avoid ultralow-ESR polymer or specialty ceramics below 5 mΩ unless validated per application note SLVA392.
Does LP2985IM5X-3.1/NOPB require an input capacitor, and what type is recommended?
Yes, LP2985IM5X-3.1/NOPB requires a minimum 1 µF ceramic input capacitor placed within 1 cm of the IN pin and connected to a clean analog ground. Ceramic (X5R/X7R) is strongly preferred for low ESR and stability; tantalum is permitted only if surge-current rated. No ESR requirement exists for CIN, but capacitance must remain ≥1 µF over full temperature range.
