Product details
Overview
LP2985IM5X-3.3 from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output, micropower ultra-low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) delivering 150 mA output current with 3.3 V nominal output, 1% accuracy (A-grade), 300 mV typical dropout at full load, and 75 µA quiescent current at 1 mA - designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring low noise and high efficiency.
For engineers reviewing the LP2985IM5X-3.3 datasheet, LP2985IM5X-3.3 pinout, LP2985IM5X-3.3 application, or LP2985IM5X-3.3 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 3.3 V output tolerance, SOT-23-5 package compatibility, BYPASS-pin-enabled 30 µVRMS noise performance, shutdown current < 2 µA, and stability with 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LP2985IM5X-3.3 uses a vertically integrated PNP (VIP) process to achieve ultra-low dropout and minimal ground current across load range. Its internal reference and feedback loop ensure 1% output voltage accuracy over –40°C to 125°C junction temperature, with line regulation of 0.014%/V and load regulation maintained within ±2.5% up to 150 mA.
It integrates logic-controlled ON/OFF functionality with 1.6 V enable threshold and 0.15 V disable threshold, enabling precise power sequencing. The dedicated BYPASS pin supports external 10 nF capacitor to reduce output noise to 30 µVRMS (300 Hz–50 kHz), while foldback current limiting and thermal shutdown provide robust fault protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3 V ±1% (A-grade); ensures stable rail for 3.3 V microcontrollers and RF ICs without external trimming. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous; sufficient for powering baseband processors, sensors, and low-power FPGAs in portable devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 350 mV max at 150 mA (–40°C to 125°C); enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or 3.6 V supply 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. |
| Output Noise | 30 µVRMS (300 Hz–50 kHz, with 10 nF BYPASS cap); meets stringent noise requirements for ADC references and RF front-ends. |
| PSRR | 45 dB at 1 kHz; suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01 µA typical; reduces system-level leakage during deep sleep modes in handheld and IoT applications. |
Pinout & Package
LP2985IM5X-3.3 is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 package (2.90 mm × 1.60 mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and compatible with standard pick-and-place assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.5 V–16 V input; requires ≥1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed ≤1 cm from pin for stability. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Device substrate connection; must be tied to clean analog ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| ON/OFF (Pin 3) | Enable/disable control input | Logic-high (>1.6 V) enables regulator; logic-low (<0.15 V) disables output and reduces IQ to <2 µA. |
| BYPASS (Pin 4) | Noise reduction terminal | Connects to 10 nF capacitor to GND to reduce internal reference noise; omission increases output noise to ~75 µVRMS. |
| OUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | Delivers 3.3 V ±1%; requires ≥2.2 µF ceramic capacitor with ESR as low as 5 mΩ for unconditional stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 300 mV typical at 150 mA enables use with weak or aging batteries in wearables and medical sensors. |
| Low-noise architecture | 30 µVRMS output noise with BYPASS pin support ensures clean power for precision analog signal chains. |
| Stable with ceramic capacitors | Operates reliably with 2.2 µF/5 mΩ ceramic output caps - eliminates need for larger, costlier tantalum alternatives. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown and foldback current limiting prevent damage during short-circuit or overload events. |
| Micropower shutdown | Sub-µA shutdown current extends battery life in intermittently active systems such as remote sensors and BLE peripherals. |

Use Value: 16 V absolute max input rating allows direct connection to unregulated 12 V rails; overtemperature protection prevents field failures in enclosed enclosures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TSS721AIDR | Fixed 3.3 V output, 250 mA rating, higher 1.2 µA quiescent current in active mode, no BYPASS pin. | Lacks low-noise capability; unsuitable where <50 µVRMS noise is required for ADC or RF stages. | Choose when higher output current is needed and noise is not critical; verify thermal derating for 150 mA in SOT-23. |
| MCP1700T-3302E/MB | 3.3 V, 250 mA, 1.6 µA quiescent current, no ON/OFF control, no BYPASS pin, different pinout (SOT-23-3). | Not pin-compatible; lacks enable and noise-reduction features; limited to simpler always-on applications. | Select only if board redesign is acceptable and shutdown control or ultra-low noise are unnecessary. |
Compared with LP2985IM5X-3.3, TSS721AIDR offers higher current but sacrifices noise performance and micropower shutdown, while MCP1700T-3302E/MB trades enable functionality and BYPASS noise reduction for lower cost and simpler layout - neither matches the LP2985IM5X-3.3's balanced combination of precision, low noise, and ultra-low IQ in a 5-pin SOT-23.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LP2985IM5X-3.3?
The LP2985IM5X-3.3 has an absolute maximum input voltage of 16 V, with recommended operating input range from 3.1 V to 16 V. This allows safe operation from unregulated 12 V industrial rails or multi-cell battery sources, provided the dropout margin (VIN – 3.3 V) exceeds the specified 575 mV maximum at full load and temperature extremes.
Does LP2985IM5X-3.3 require an external bypass capacitor for stable operation?
Yes, LP2985IM5X-3.3 requires a minimum 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor with ESR as low as 5 mΩ for stability across all load conditions. While the BYPASS pin capacitor (typically 10 nF) is optional for noise reduction, omitting the 2.2 µF output capacitor will cause oscillation and functional failure - it is mandatory per TI's design guidelines.
How does the ON/OFF pin function on LP2985IM5X-3.3?
The ON/OFF pin (Pin 3) controls regulator enable state: applying ≥1.6 V enables LP2985IM5X-3.3 with full output regulation; applying ≤0.15 V disables it, reducing quiescent current to <2 µA. The pin must be actively driven - floating or high-impedance states may cause erratic behavior. Tie to VIN if enable control is unused.
What is the output voltage accuracy specification for LP2985IM5X-3.3 over temperature?
LP2985IM5X-3.3 is an A-grade device with ±1% output voltage accuracy at 25°C and ±3.5% over the full –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range at 1–150 mA load. This includes combined effects of line regulation, load regulation, and thermal drift - verified via TI's Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methodology.
Can LP2985IM5X-3.3 be used with tantalum output capacitors?
While LP2985IM5X-3.3 is optimized for ceramic capacitors (2.2 µF, ESR ≥5 mΩ), tantalum capacitors may be used if their ESR falls within the stable region defined in Figure 22 of the datasheet. However, ceramic is strongly preferred due to superior ESR stability over temperature, smaller footprint, and absence of surge-current failure risks inherent to tantalum.
