Product details
Overview
LP2987AIM-5.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 5.0 V, 200 mA ultra-low-dropout linear regulator with programmable power-on reset delay, 180 mV dropout at 200 mA, 0.5% output voltage accuracy (A-grade), and −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range - used in portable battery-powered systems requiring stable low-noise supply and reliable reset signaling.
For engineers reviewing the LP2987AIM-5.0/NOPB datasheet, LP2987AIM-5.0/NOPB pinout, LP2987AIM-5.0/NOPB application, or LP2987AIM-5.0/NOPB equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, SOIC-8 package mapping, real-world use cases in cellular phones and camcorders, and validated alternative options for precision LDO selection.
Technical Context
The LP2987AIM-5.0/NOPB uses a vertically integrated PNP pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout (180 mV @ 200 mA) and low ground current (1 mA @ 200 mA). Its error flag output provides open-collector reset signaling triggered when output drops >5% below nominal, and its DELAY pin supports single-capacitor programmable power-on reset timing via a 2.2 µA internal current source.
It operates across 2.1 V to 16 V input range with thermal shutdown and current limiting protection. Unlike the LP2988 variant, it lacks the BYPASS pin and low-noise optimization - confirming its identity as the standard noise-performance version of the family.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±0.5% (A-grade) - ensures tight regulation for microcontroller I/O and analog sensor biasing. |
| Max Output Current | 200 mA continuous - sufficient for baseband processors and peripheral ICs in handheld devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 180 mV @ 200 mA load - enables operation from single Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) or dual alkaline cells with margin. |
| Quiescent Current | <2 µA in shutdown - preserves battery life during system sleep modes. |
| Reset Threshold | Output drop ≥5% triggers ERROR pin low - provides reliable POR signal for FPGA or MCU initialization. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for automotive cabin and industrial edge computing environments. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.1 V to 16 V - supports wide-input applications including 12 V rail conditioning and multi-cell battery stacks. |
Pinout & Package
LP2987AIM-5.0/NOPB is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D package, drawing D0008A), with exposed pad not present. Thermal resistance θJ−A = 160°C/W. Pin functions are validated per TI SNVS004J Figure 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (BYPASS) | Not connected (NC) | No internal connection - unused in LP2987; differs from LP2988 which uses this pin for noise reduction. |
| 2 (DELAY) | Reset delay timing input | Accepts external capacitor to set power-on reset timeout; 2.2 µA current source charges CDLY to 1.23 V threshold. |
| 3 (GROUND) | Power return path | Carries 1 mA ground current at full 200 mA load - impacts PCB layout for low-noise analog sections. |
| 4 (INPUT) | Main power input | Accepts 2.1–16 V supply; reverse-voltage protection requires external Schottky diode if VOUT > VIN possible. |
| 5 (SENSE) | Output voltage feedback | Senses regulated output directly; enables remote sensing to compensate for PCB trace IR drop. |
| 6 (OUTPUT) | Regulated 5.0 V output | Delivers up to 200 mA with <100 µV RMS noise (BW: 300 Hz–50 kHz) - suitable for ADC reference supplies. |
| 7 (SHUTDOWN) | Enable/disable control | Active-high logic: ≥1.6 V enables output; ≤0.18 V disables with <2 µA quiescent draw. |
| 8 (ERROR) | Open-collector reset flag | Pulls low when VOUT falls >5%; requires external pull-up for MCU reset assertion or status monitoring. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 180 mV @ 200 mA enables operation from weak or aging batteries without brownout. |
| Programmable POR delay | Single external capacitor on DELAY pin sets reset timeout - eliminates need for discrete RC timers or supervisor ICs. |
| High accuracy output | ±0.5% over temperature ensures consistent logic-level compatibility and sensor excitation stability. |
| Low shutdown current | <2 µA shutdown draw extends shelf life and deep-sleep runtime in IoT endpoints. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown and current limiting prevent damage during overload or ambient temperature excursions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LP2987IM-5.0/NOPB | Standard grade (±1% output accuracy), same SOIC-8 package and pinout. | Lacks A-grade precision; suitable where cost sensitivity outweighs tight voltage tolerance. | Select when 5.0 V ±1% meets system margin requirements and budget constraints dominate. |
| TSS721AIDR | 5.0 V, 250 mA LDO with integrated watchdog timer and 200 mV dropout; SOIC-8. | Includes watchdog functionality absent in LP2987AIM-5.0/NOPB; higher quiescent current (35 µA). | Choose when system-level fault detection and recovery are required beyond basic reset signaling. |
Compared with LP2987IM-5.0/NOPB, the LP2987AIM-5.0/NOPB delivers tighter output accuracy critical for ADC references, while TSS721AIDR adds watchdog capability at the cost of higher static current - making each optimal for distinct reliability vs. precision trade-offs.

FAQ
What is the dropout voltage specification for LP2987AIM-5.0/NOPB at full load?
The LP2987AIM-5.0/NOPB has a typical dropout voltage of 180 mV at 200 mA load and 25°C, defined as the input-to-output differential at which output drops 100 mV below nominal. This value remains stable across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature, enabling reliable operation from marginal input sources like depleted batteries.
Does LP2987AIM-5.0/NOPB include a bypass pin for noise reduction?
No, LP2987AIM-5.0/NOPB does not implement the BYPASS pin function. That feature is exclusive to the LP2988 variant (e.g., LP2988AIM-5.0/NOPB), which uses an external capacitor on the BYPASS pin to reduce output noise to 20 µV RMS. The LP2987AIM-5.0/NOPB delivers 100 µV RMS noise without bypass capacitance.
How is the power-on reset delay configured on LP2987AIM-5.0/NOPB?
The power-on reset delay on LP2987AIM-5.0/NOPB is set using an external capacitor connected to the DELAY pin. A 2.2 µA internal current source charges this capacitor; when voltage reaches 1.23 V, the ERROR pin releases high. For example, a 0.1 µF capacitor yields ~56 ms delay, calculated via CDLY = TDELAY/(5.59 × 10⁵).
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to LP2987AIM-5.0/NOPB?
LP2987AIM-5.0/NOPB uses the SOIC-8 (D) package with thermal resistance θJ−A = 160°C/W. It is RoHS-compliant, green (low-halogen), and rated for moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 - unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH. No exposed thermal pad is present.
Can LP2987AIM-5.0/NOPB be used in automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, LP2987AIM-5.0/NOPB is qualified for −40°C to +125°C junction temperature and features overtemperature and overcurrent protection. While not AEC-Q100 certified, its operating range and robustness support non-safety-critical automotive cabin applications such as infotainment displays and telematics modules when derated per TI's thermal guidelines.
