Product details
Overview
LP2987AIM-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output, 200 mA ultra-low-dropout linear voltage regulator with programmable power-on reset delay and shutdown control. It delivers 2.5 V ±0.5% (A-grade) output at up to 200 mA load, features 180 mV dropout at full load, <2 µA quiescent current in shutdown, and operates from 2.1 V to 16 V input. It is used in battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable low-noise bias for RF or analog circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the LP2987AIM-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LP2987AIM-2.5/NOPB pinout, LP2987AIM-2.5/NOPB application, or LP2987AIM-2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 200 mA, reset delay configurability via external capacitor, ground pin current vs. load, output noise performance, and SOIC-8 thermal characteristics for industrial temperature operation.
Technical Context
The LP2987AIM-2.5/NOPB uses a vertically integrated PNP pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout and low ground current across load range. Its error comparator monitors output voltage against an internal 1.23 V reference, asserting the open-collector ERROR pin when output falls >5% below nominal.
Power-on reset delay is implemented by charging an external capacitor on the DELAY pin using a 2.2 µA current source; the ERROR pin transitions high once DELAY pin voltage reaches 1.23 V. Shutdown is controlled by a TTL/CMOS-compatible input that draws <1 µA when asserted low.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V ±0.5% (A-grade) at 25°C; maintains accuracy over −40°C to +125°C junction range |
| Max Output Current | 200 mA continuous; peak output >250 mA supports transient loads without dropout |
| Dropout Voltage | 180 mV @ 200 mA load (typical); enables regulation with only 2.68 V input for 2.5 V output |
| Quiescent Current | <2 µA in shutdown mode; reduces system standby power in always-on portable devices |
| Ground Pin Current | 1 mA @ 200 mA load (typical); low, load-proportional GND current improves efficiency vs. older LDOs |
| Reset Threshold | Output drop >5% triggers ERROR pin low; provides reliable power-fail detection for microcontroller reset |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.1 V to 16 V operating; supports single-cell Li-ion, multi-cell alkaline, and intermediate bus rails |
Pinout & Package
LP2987AIM-2.5/NOPB is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D package, drawing D0008A), with exposed pad not present. Thermal resistance θJ−A = 160°C/W enables 1.2 W dissipation at 25°C ambient before thermal shutdown.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (BYPASS) | Bypass node for internal bandgap reference | Not used on LP2987 (only LP2988); leave unconnected or tie to ground per layout guidelines |
| 2 (DELAY) | Reset delay timing input | Accepts external capacitor to set power-on reset timeout; 2.2 µA current source charges it to 1.23 V |
| 3 (GROUND) | Power return path | Carries load current plus ground pin current (1 mA @ 200 mA); requires low-impedance analog ground connection |
| 4 (INPUT) | Main supply input | Accepts 2.1–16 V; must be decoupled with ≥2.2 µF ceramic capacitor within 0.5 inch of pin |
| 5 (SENSE) | Output voltage feedback sense | Enables remote sensing; connect directly to load for improved regulation under PCB trace IR drop |
| 6 (OUTPUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 2.5 V ±0.5%; requires ≥4.7 µF output capacitor with appropriate ESR for stability |
| 7 (SHUTDOWN) | Active-low enable control | Drives output off when ≤0.18 V; requires >1.4 V to enable; slew rate ≥40 mV/µs prevents misoperation |
| 8 (ERROR) | Open-collector fault/reset flag | Sinks current when output drops >5%; requires external pull-up for logic-level reset signal generation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 180 mV @ 200 mA enables use with low-input-voltage sources like single Li-ion cells |
| Programmable power-on reset | Single external capacitor on DELAY pin sets reset timeout-no external timer IC required |
| Low ground pin current | 1 mA @ 200 mA load improves efficiency vs. traditional LDOs with higher quiescent losses |
| High accuracy output | ±0.5% over temperature ensures reliable operation of precision analog or RF circuitry |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown and current limiting prevent damage during overload or ambient rise |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LP2987AIM-2.5/NOPB?
The LP2987AIM-2.5/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage of +16 V and a recommended operating range of 2.1 V to +16 V. Exceeding 16 V may cause permanent damage. For reliable operation in systems with transient spikes, input clamping or filtering is advised. The LP2987AIM-2.5/NOPB includes internal overvoltage protection on the INPUT pin but is not designed for sustained operation above 16 V.
Does LP2987AIM-2.5/NOPB support remote sensing, and how is it implemented?
Yes, LP2987AIM-2.5/NOPB supports remote sensing via the SENSE pin (Pin 5). To implement, connect the SENSE trace directly to the load point rather than to the OUTPUT pin, compensating for PCB trace IR drop. This maintains ±0.5% output accuracy at the load under varying current conditions. The LP2987AIM-2.5/NOPB does not require external resistors for this function - it is internally configured for direct Kelvin sensing.
How is the power-on reset delay time calculated for LP2987AIM-2.5/NOPB?
The reset delay time (TDELAY) is set by an external capacitor (CDLY) on the DELAY pin and follows TDELAY ≈ 5.59 × 10⁵ × CDLY, where CDLY is in farads. For example, a 100 nF capacitor yields ~56 ms delay. The LP2987AIM-2.5/NOPB's internal 2.2 µA current source charges CDLY to 1.23 V to trigger ERROR pin transition. Maximum recommended CDLY is 1 µF.
What is the output voltage tolerance of LP2987AIM-2.5/NOPB over temperature?
The LP2987AIM-2.5/NOPB "A" grade guarantees ±0.5% output voltage tolerance at 25°C and ±0.8% over the full −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range. This is verified via statistical quality control and applies under standard test conditions (VIN = VO(NOM) + 1 V, IL = 1 mA). The device's 20 ppm/°C temperature coefficient contributes predictably to this drift budget.
Can LP2987AIM-2.5/NOPB be used without connecting the SHUTDOWN pin?
Yes - if shutdown control is unused, the SHUTDOWN pin (Pin 7) must be tied directly to INPUT (Pin 4) to ensure the LP2987AIM-2.5/NOPB remains enabled. Leaving it floating risks undefined output behavior due to noise susceptibility. The LP2987AIM-2.5/NOPB draws <1 µA when pulled high and <2 µA when pulled low, so no additional current-limiting resistor is needed in either configuration.
